"Tell me exactly what is going on right now." Hazel urged impatiently. But she kept glancing back to make sure Emily was busy in her imaginary world. Fortunately, the child watched too much of the Dora the Explorer series, so when she bragged about this escape and said that they were looking for treasures such as Dora and Boots, the girl immediately believed, even more enthusiastic than herself who had been hit by a severe panic. .
"Jane texted me." Calvin suddenly pulled out one of the drawers on the dashboard of the car and pulled out a black cell phone. “This is the message Jane sent minutes before her death. She seems to have had a bad feeling about it, so she asked me to take Zinny as far away from the house as possible."
"You have a cell phone?" Hazel looked amazed before she read the hastily typed words by Jane Duffal.
“I kept this phone on purpose just in case you still doubt me.”
“I do doubt you,” Hazel said quickly. Just as she was about to

Hazel was just about to bombard the man with questions running through her mind when he suddenly threw her white cell phone vibrating in her lap and told her to pick up Rick's call immediately.“Ask what you need to ask. Now!" Calvin growled emphatically. Despite her hesitation, Hazel finally picked up the call and immediately connected to Rick who sounded worried on the other end.“Oh my God, Hazel!”Hazel pushed her phone away slightly as Rick's loud voice made a slight ringing in her ears. Next to her, Calvin seemed to be listening intently as he occasionally glanced at her."Where are you? Did that guy hostage you? Are you hurt?”The rain of questions from Rick didn't necessarily make her feel touched, on the contrary, she felt discomfy with a man who was too overbearing like Rick."No, he didn't hurt me." Hazel glanced slightly at Calvin with a look that implied you should be thanking me for not making your b

The place is remote, located in southwest Idaho which is part of Bouise County. Bogus Basin is the perfect place to cool off from the hustle and bustle of a busy, hot city. The view on the mountain was amazing. If it comes in winter, the place will become a giant snow mound which is usually the destination of many people for skiing. But if you come in summer, the mountains will offer a beautiful view of green meadows and towering cypress trees in the hilly area. In addition there is a roller coaster that operates for ten hours a day to transport tourists who want to enjoy the top of the mountain without having to walk. Right between the towering cypress trees, there is a small cabin whose chimney emits a thin layer of smoke that seems to sway in the wind. Inside the cabin, a woman was busy applying sunscreen on her face. Today she plans to sunbathe in front of her cabin which gets enough sunlight from between the towering leaves of the cypress tree.

Jill asked, resting her chin on the table.Ever since the Duffal family was killed, she'd been daydreaming more often because there wasn't much work she could do while staying at home for the witnesses.

Amanda snorted.Jill pursed her lips in annoyance. Amanda never changed, she was always the one to nag at them the most when they weren't working and gossiping too much."I think Jill is a little heartbroken." Gabe giggled. She received a glare from Jill, but she continued to mock her.“She likes Calvin, you know? Too bad Calvin talked to Catherine more. And no
