Feeling utterly distraught, Raegan rested on her foster fathers shoulder, staring blankly at the deserted road stretching out behind them.
The young Raegan couldnt grasp why they needed to flee, but her foster fathers evident panic made her cling to him, pressing her face against his neck to hold back her tears.
Still too young to sense the impending danger, the young Raegan now lay in the cold mud, her eyes widening with horror as the man in the red suit drew nearer. The fear was palpable in her throat, rendering her speechless.
To her relief, the man halted about five meters from the muddy patch where she had been hiding.
The man knelt, picked up a bloodied limb of her foster father, and hurled it toward her foster fathers face.
Heh. With a chilling laugh, the man tossed out what he thought was a witty remark. Runs your leg off, you idiot.

Then, the man tilted his head back, observing the sky as it darkened further, a heavier rain imminent.
With the temperature dropping and a severe storm approaching, the man surmised that the young Raegan, if not fatally injured by the fall, would unlikely withstand the harsh conditions.
Thus, the man then climbed into the red sports car and sped off.

Davey, observant and sharp, noted the shift in Raegans demeanor and realized she had recalled the incident. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, his smirk widening as he commented, Not bad, seeing the cake and remembering everything.
You! Raegan gritted her teeth, overwhelmed by a surge of hatred, but found herself unable to speak further.
Dont rush. Take your time, Davey said, his voice calm, his smile attempting to soothe her.
Raegan wished for a knife at that moment to kill Davey, yet she understood such an action was beyond her reach. Even armed with a knife, overpowering him would be a formidable challenge. Davey had successfully kidnapped her from the well-secured Clifford familys manor, a testament to his dangerous capabilities.
She reminded herself that giving in to hatred and agitation would solve nothing. Remaining composed was essential to devising an escape plan.
Raegan pressed her nails into her palm, using the pain to anchor her composure.
