Chapter 3: The Man From The Shadows
That night, Jack stayed at the farmhouse.
He couldnât leave Emily alone.
Around midnight, he heard footsteps outside.
Someone was inside the shed.
Jack grabbed his flashlight and moved silently.
Inside, a man was standing beside Emily.
The stranger looked shocked when Jack entered.
âYouâre aliveâŠâ
Jack raised his weapon.
âWho are you?â
The man slowly turned.
His eyes moved to Emily.
Then back to Jack.
âMy name is Daniel.â
Jack tightened his grip.
âWhy were you touching that child?â
Danielâs voice broke.
âBecause Iâve been looking for her for five years.â
Emily suddenly woke up.
And when she saw Daniel, she whispered:
âDaddy?â
