Gilbert felt a sudden tension in his scalp, "Caroline, where are you?"

"I... I don't know... oh no... where is this? Gilbert, I'm so scared!"

"I'm on my way, Sawyer is looking for you too, don't wander off anymore!"

After hanging up, Gilbert stepped on the gas and headed west of the city.

"Mr. Gilbert."

By the time he arrived, Sawyer had already found Caroline's car, but the door was open, and she was nowhere to be seen.

Gilbert looked around, assuming Caroline, feeling upset, had left her car to take a walk and then got lost.

"She couldn't have gone far, she must be around here. Let's split up and look for her."

"Right," Sawyer agreed. "Mr. Gilbert, let's keep in touch."

"Got it."

The area was remote with barely any streetlights, Gilbert had to use his phone's flashlight to see the path.

"Caroline, can you hear me? This is Gilbert, if you can hear me, shout back!"

The further he went, the more difficult the mountain path became, and the falling mix of rain and snow greatly limited his visibility. Suddenly, his phone rang, it was Sawyer.

He quickly answered, "Hello?"

"Mr. Gilbert, I found Ms. Bennett. She's a bit hurt, but she refuses to come with me, you might have to..."
