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 two-story building with a gothic style looks lively and filled with excited twinkling lights. At the entrance, there were two burly men who were security guards at the bar which had just opened at four that afternoon. The name of the bar is Rumba Bar. Deliberately erected on one of Downtown Seattle's most famous streets, Pike Street. Rumba Bar is often a gathering place for drug dealers, sex enthusiast, or lonely people who are just looking for fun by seeing half-naked dancers on the dance floor. Louise Dawson, one of the regular visitors to Rumba Bar, was seen parking his van carefully around the quiet pike street sidewalk. The cute dog head ornament swayed wildly as the car made several vibrations before finally stopping perfectly and symmetrically at the edge of the Pike Street sidewalk.

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. Meanwhile, on the lazy ch

"I miss that house."Gabe's voice as she stirred the soup made the other two people in the room turn to her. One of the two women cutting vegetables frowned."How long will we be staying here?" 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. She and her fellow maids gossiped more and sometimes even daydreamed when they had finished all the work in the house.“Put in the vegetables, Gabe. Don't daydream like Jill." 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

The rest of the afternoon they spent in tense silence. Their conversation during the day produced nothing but irritation in Calvin and determination in Hazel. She wouldn't help the man in the slightest if it meant putting Emily in danger. Of course she wouldn't trade Emily's safety for the life of a stranger who suddenly wreaks havoc on her peaceful life and then suddenly pushes her into the abyss of trouble. Oh, that really sucks. But Calvin is really annoying. The silence he showed made her afraid just to get out of the room she shared with Emily.The girl whined all afternoon after waking up from her nap. She became more energetic and she used all her strength to whine at her in frustration. Emily kept whining at her wanting to go outside and find the treasure. While outside she could hear the sound of Calvin's footsteps and the activities Calvin was doing outside to show her that he was outside and that she had to stay in the room with Emily."Mommy, why don't we f

"She’s asleep?" "Deep sleep. She was full of cheese omelet. She kept telling me about you. You made her eat vegetables." "She does not like veggie?" “Since she was a baby she always vomited when I made her food with mixed vegetables. After this she will become a veggie monster.” She thought Calvin would be happy to know that he had become a little girl's idol, but he wasn't. The man remained cold and as if he was unaffected by whatever emotions were bubbling around him. “Girls are normal when they want a father figure. You never took her to meet her father?" "What for? She's fine with me. Emily doesn't need her father." "The kid misses the father figure." Hazel was silent. In all the years she lived with Emily, she had never heard someone rebuke her as openly as Calvin. She was even surprised to see Calvin insisting on telling her that Emily missed her father. It wasn't something she hadn't been aware of all along. She
