Chapter 54
It was the crack of dawn. The air was still cold and dark. Andy Clark was already in the kitchen, preparing everything needed for his father's porridge stall. The fire was roaring under the large pot, and the aroma of spices was beginning to fill the air. Andy worked as usual, going through the decades-old daily routine. His hands deftly peeled onions, chopped vegetables, and stirred the porridge.His mind was still in turmoil. What would happen tonight? Would he find the horrifying evidence Dave had talked about? Or was all this just a wild imagination, fueled by exhaustion and fear?As Andy was stirring the porridge, a shadow appeared in the kitchen doorway. Andy jumped.Dave.The strange man was already there, standing calmly in the doorway, his eyes fixed on Andy. His face was flat, expressionless.Andy felt his heart pound frantically. Panic set in. "What are you doing here?!" Andy whispered, his voice hoarse, filled with fear. He glanced at the back door, worried his father, Joh

Dave didn't answer the question directly. He just offered a small smile. Dave gently patted Andy's shoulder. "I'm Dave."Andy still stared at Dave in utter disbelief. Dave's sudden healing act was just too bizarre. Completely beyond what he could comprehend. He’d never seen anything like it in his entire life.Andy bolted. This guy was dangerous. He wanted nothing more to do with him. Andy tried to make a break for it. He spun around, took off running, as fast as his legs could carry him, without a single glance back.But no matter where Andy ran, Dave was always there, cutting him off. When Andy darted down a narrow alley, Dave was already waiting at the other end.When Andy tried to scale a wall, Dave was already perched on top of it, blocking his way. Dave was always one step ahead, always appearing right in front of him, silently, like a ghost.Andy started to truly panic. A raw, visceral fear clawed at him. This was crazy. This guy was crazy. "Go! Get lost! Stop following me!" An

"None of you should be here!" That was John Clark, the owner of the stall, by the way. And the guy who was carrying the porridge? That was Andy Clark, his son.Dave looked at John. There was something in John's gaze that told him he was more than just a street food vendor."I'm sorry," Dave said, trying to calm the situation. "I'll pay for the damages."John let out a hollow laugh. "Money? You think this porridge can be replaced with money?! You think lives can be paid for?!" John spat on the ground, near Dave's feet. "Get out of here! I'm not serving you people! Don't you dare defile my stall with your presence!"Serena and Jimmy, who had been holding themselves back, were now ready to jump to Dave's defense. Jimmy had already clenched his fists. Serena was ready to unleash some sharp words. But Dave signaled them to stay quiet. This wasn't their fight."Alright," Dave said, letting out a sigh. "We'll go.""Get out of here! And don't you ever come back!" John snarled, his tone filled
chapter 51
After that weird, tense breakfast at Margaret's inn, the four of them hit the road again. Dave was driving, Jimmy was riding shotgun, and Milla and Serena were in the back seat. The car was silent, just the hum of the engine and a faint breeze from the slightly open window. That silence broke when Serena, who'd been restless, couldn't hold back her complaints anymore."Dave," Serena snapped, sounding really annoyed. "You've got some nerve, seriously. I mean, why did we even eat that breakfast? We could've all gotten poisoned! Especially after that 'herbal' drink this morning, and Margaret's stories about 'disappearing' guests. You're really risking things unnecessarily." Serena fired off her complaint. She was here for information, not to die for nothing.In a tense situation like this, Dave's nonchalance about the danger really pissed her off. Serena felt like her life was on the line. Like bringing them along was a bad call.Dave didn't turn around. He stayed focused on the road ah

Serena was sharing a room with Milla. The air inside the old inn room felt cold, damp, and a bit stuffy. The creaky wooden windows, rattling with every slight breeze, just made it spookier. Even though it was late, Serena couldn't relax. She kept tossing and turning in her bed; the thin blanket wasn't helping her sleep at all."What's up, Miss Miller?" Milla asked, a little annoyed by Serena's restlessness. "Something seems to be bugging you."Serena sighed. "Dunno. Something's weird about this inn.""Weird how?" Milla shifted slightly, her voice sounding more curious."The innkeeper," Serena began, remembering Margaret, the old woman with the strange smile who'd greeted them. Her smile was too wide, her eyes too sharp, like she was watching their every move. "She's weird. From the way she looked at us, and then she was talking about guests who 'disappeared' yesterday."Milla yawned. "Nah, you're probably just imagining things. It's an old inn, so there are always stories like that."
Chapter 49
A bright morning. Serena had already arrived at the cafe, ten minutes ahead of their appointment. She chose a table in the corner, by the window, from where she could watch the entrance. The clock hit precisely nine. Serena held her breath. Would the weird guy who'd stalked her last night dare to be late? Or would he show up right on time?The cafe door opened. Dave walked in, and beside him, Milla strode in cheerfully. Serena couldn't hide her irritation. She wanted to meet Dave alone, not with this noisy girl.Dave saw Serena, then gave a faint smile. "Morning, Serena."Serena just nodded, her expression flat, as if she wasn't in the mood for small talk.Milla, sensing the tension, immediately bowed her head, respectfully greeting Serena. She then extended her hand, her smile friendly. "Hi, Serena. I'm Milla. Mr. Dave's friend."Serena was surprised by Milla's politeness. She hadn't expected Milla to act this way. This time, with the situation a bit different, Serena accepted the ha
