“Let’s go check it out downstairs. We should bring the hotel’s security team with us.”
“Okay!”
They alerted the hotel’s security personnel. Upon hearing about a potential drowning, the security team promptly joined Hannah and Bryson, rushing to the shoreline.
But they found the sea empty.
Three guards, all strong swimmers, ventured far into the water before returning empty-handed.
The chief of security dashed up to Hannah, wiping his wet face.
“Mr. Moore, we found no one. We covered a great distance and saw no one in the water.”
Hannah’s brow furrowed. She wasn’t the only one who’d heard the cry for help; Bryson had heard it too. It was real.
As Hannah relayed the mysterious call for help, the security guard looked puzzled.
“Could it have been from a TV show or a movie someone was watching?”
“No, that’s not it.” Hannah shook her head.
“We’re the only residents on that floor. No one was watching any shows or movies.”
Scratching his head, the security guard gazed out at the expansive sea.
“If someone had actually drowned, we should have spotted them during our swim… Besides, the windows upstairs would reflect light.

Could you have been mistaken, Miss Moore?”
It was a possibility, but Hannah couldn’t shake her unease.
Sensing Hannah’s discomfort, Bryson took her hand.
“Are there any surveillance cameras on the beach?”
The security guard appeared somewhat embarrassed.
“The resort is newly opened. Even the hotel’s cameras were just recently installed.
There are none on the beach. Also, no one has ever drowned here; there are no sudden waves, and non-swimmers wouldn’t venture that far out.”
In the end, their efforts yielded no answers.
Bryson led Hannah back upstairs to the hotel. Instead of escorting her to her own room, he guided her to his.
“You can stay in my room tonight. I have work to do outside. Call me if you need anything.”
