The toll booth girl was briefly surprised, then shyly covered her face, "Oh, is it that obvious I'm drained." Shakira chuckled, "Miss, you're very pretty. I saw the duty schedule through the window."

The girl turned to glance at it and immediately felt relieved, "Oh, that's why. I was on duty last night."

Shakira nodded, swiped her phone a couple of times, and showed a photo of Mitchell. "Do you remember if this guy drove a Porsche through here late last night?"

Almost immediately, the girl exclaimed, "That's him."

"Last night he asked us for directions to Snaky Mountain. That place is tricky, with too many curves and it's really narrow. Plus, it was foggy last night. We advised him to wait till daylight to go up there, but who knows if he listened," She added. Shakira's eyes darkened. She thanked him, hit the gas, and sped away.

Meanwhile, the Nelson family also received news from Fraser about tracking Mitchell's last location after exiting the highway. They all drove from Crescentville to catch up.

Following the GPS, Shakira arrived at the base of Snaky Mountain. Below, the forest was thick. Looking up, the winding mountain road appeared endless, stretching out of sight.

In the passenger seat, Sean, who couldn't complain anymore, looked up, his legs trembling uncontrollably. "Are we really going up there?"

Shakira didn't say a word, she just floored the gas pedal and zoomed up the mountain.

Sean let out a piercing scream and tightly shut his eyes. All they could hear was the sound of the wind and the loud revving of the engine, like being on a roller coaster.

No one knew how long it took before the car finally came to a stop. Sean didn't hesitate to jump out of the car and vomit, feeling completely disoriented.

Shakira glanced at him, slightly furrowing her brow, tossed him a bottle of mineral water, and then got out to check the area. On the yellow dirt road were two deep skid marks from sudden braking.

"They're dark and haven't been covered by dust yet, so they must be from today." Shakira glanced around and suddenly narrowed her eyes.

As they moved down to a narrow bend, a large chunk of rock was missing, and loose stones were scattered all around. A slight lean over the edge revealed an endless expanse of dense forest below.

Sean finally stopped retching, he looked up and was horrified
