A Shocking Sight
Arriving at the property is surreal. It’s far bigger and more developed than I had imagined. The house stands tall, clean, and well-maintained — nothing like a secret hideout. It’s clear this isn’t just an abandoned shell. Someone’s been here regularly, and they’ve taken care of the place.
We step out of the car, silence stretching between us. The surrounding land is quiet, almost unnervingly so. “It’s eerily peaceful,” Lisa says, her voice low. I nod, scanning the grounds for any sign of him — or her. Each step forward feels like stepping deeper into a truth I’m not ready for, but have no choice but to face.
