When she woke up the following day, Finley was no longer beside her. She looked around the room, but there was no sign of him.
Where could he go? Why isn't he here?
Samantha grabbed her phone and dialed Finley's number. The call went through, but no one answered. Frowning, she muttered, "Where did he go?"
Her head throbbed as she sat up. After a night full of nightmares and tears, her eyes were swollen and red. She went to the bathroom, washed up, and came back out. She redialed Finley's number, but once again, there was no answer. Where has he gone?
She decided to send a text instead. 'Did you go back to the office? I called, but you didn't pick up. Please call me back when you see this.'
After sending the message, she set her phone aside and lay back on the bed, still dealing with a lingering headache. Turning on the TV, Elain's image greeted her on the news, and a sarcastic smile crossed her face. She pondered whether Finley had discovered anything and questioned whether Elain was hiding something.
The news began at 9:30 a.m. Following the official briefing, Elain and the police officers responded to reporters' questions. Initially, the questions were standard, but as the interview went on, they became fiercer and veered away from the original report.

"Logically, if the attacker could drag Miss Samantha, he could have done the same to you. However, your report shows no such injuries-no signs of falling or being dragged. Doesn't that strike you as strange, Ms. Elain? Why was the attacker so rough with Miss Samantha but not with you?"
Elain felt a twinge of unease at the question but replied cleverly, "When I fell from the cave, I didn't lose -consciousness The attacker tried to drag me, but I insisted on walking on my own, so he didn't."
The reporter pressed on, "Ms. Elain, you knew how ruthless the attacker was, yet you voluntarily walked over and allowed yourself to be tied up on the stone? Just how determined were you to die that you willingly walked into the hands of a murderer?"
Elain hesitated, momentarily speechless. "I was trying to wait for the right moment to escape," she explained. "If I had resisted, the outcome would have been far worse. So, I pretended to cooperate, hoping

he would let his guard down. Then, I could knock him out and escape. Wasn't that a better plan?"

The reporter responded, "That sounds reasonable, but we interviewed Miss Samantha before coming here, and she told us that you lost consciousness when you fell. Why are you now claiming that you walked there yourself?"
