“Ahhh! Ahhh! There’s blood everywhere! Someone was killed.”
The last cry came from a room down the corridor. Hannah recognized it instantly; it was Elsa’s voice.
Elsa emerged from the room, her face etched with horror. Gathering the folds of her dress, she dashed toward them!
Coincidentally, they emerged simultaneously. Spotting Remington, Elsa rushed to him and threw herself into his arms. “I was so scared!
Thank goodness you’re here!”
Remington was in no mood for tenderness. He brusquely pushed Elsa aside, his tone firm. “It’s not safe for you here. It would be best if you went downstairs. Miss Moore, come with me to assess the situation in the room.”

“Let’s head to that room first,” Remington said, leading the way down the corridor.

He stopped and turned to look at the stairs, his expression serious.
Hannah noticed his change in demeanor and stopped to follow his gaze.
“yihat’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. Let’s go inside and see what’s going on,” Remington replied.
