A minute later, the three of them made it to the other side of the river where the manager and his men were waiting.

The manager then pointed at a patch of grass on the ground and said, “Madam, I believe Mr. Thompson may have come ashore here. The grass around this spot is all upright, but the ones here are lying flat on the ground. Something heavy must've been pressing on them for quite a long time.”

“Shane!” Natalie's hands trembled, and her eyes lit up with hope.

“That's right, we believe it must've been Mr. Thompson. The surface area of the flattened grass matches that of an adult human. He probably got carried here by the current and tried to get out of the river, but didn't have the energy to walk and collapsed here,” Silas added.

Natalie bit down on her lip. “But you guys haven't found Shane anywhere. Where could he have gone?”
