As Evan remained steadfast in his silence, a stoic barrier protecting the secrets that could jeopardize Eve's safety.

Daniel's words reverberated through the corridor, a chorus of urgency and worry. "Evan, we need to find Eve. Lives are at stake here, and your silence isn't helping anyone."

Yet, despite the fervor of Daniel's pleas, Evan remained resolute, his lips sealed as if by an unbreakable bond of loyalty. The tension in the air thickened, the silent standoff revealing the depth of Evan's commitment to protect his sister, even at the cost of enduring his brother's frustration and desperation.

Daniel's patience wore thin, and he shouted, "That's not good enough! You're hiding something. Tell us where she is, or things will get much worse!"Torn between loyalty and fear, Evan remained silent, prompting Daniel to unleash his frustration. "You're protecting her at the expense of everyone's worry and safety! Spit it out, Evan!"The tension in the corridor escalated, each shout echoing the urgency and anxiety that enveloped the situation.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, Daniel's phone rang, the shrill sound cutting through the emotional turbulence. He hastily answered the call from Ed, who was on the other end, desperate for information.

"Daniel, where are you? What's going on?" Ed's voice conveyed a mixture of worry and urgency.

Daniel, his own frustration palpable, quickly explained the turmoil. "Ed, Evan knows something, but he's not talking. We're at a dead end here."

Ed, on the verge of panic, responded, "We need to find her. Tell Evan he has to talk. This is not the time for secrets."

As the conversation unfolded, the weight of the situation bore down on them, each word exchanged carrying the gravity of the search for Eve.

Ed's authoritative voice resonated through the phone as he instructed Daniel, "Give the phone to Evan. I'll handle this."

Daniel, acknowledging Ed's request, handed the phone to Evan, who stared at it with a mix of apprehension and fear. Ed's voice, now on the line, held a stern tone, ready to unravel the mystery surrounding Eve's disappearance.

Ed's stern voice echoed through the phone, carrying a weight that matched the gravity of the situation. "Evan, we need to find your sister. If you know anything, now is the time to speak up. This is not the moment for secrets. Lives are at stake."

The stern scolding from Ed lingered in the air, urging Evan to overcome his internal struggle and share any information that could lead them to Eve.

Ed's voice, now laced with an even sterner edge, cut through the tension. "Evan, I won't tolerate any more secrets or hesitation. If you know where Eve is, you better tell us this instant. Lives are hanging in the balance, and your sister's safety is not something to take lightly."

The severity in Ed's scolding heightened, leaving no room for ambiguity or delay. The urgency of the situation demanded immediate and honest disclosure from Evan.
Ed's threat carried a chilling weight as he warned Evan, "If you're keeping something from us, I promise you'll see the worst of me when we get home. This is not the time to protect your sister by staying silent. Lives are at risk, Evan, and we need the truth."

The ominous undertone in Ed's words left no room for misunderstanding, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the consequences Evan might face if he continued to withhold vital information.

Evan, his voice quivering with guilt, finally broke his silence, "She's attending a party at the best night club in town." As the words hung in the air, Ed's eyes widened with a mix of surprise and frustration.
