Joshua's POV:

I rushed towards the tool shed, thinking I could get a crowbar to rip the sauna apart, but the whole place had been ransacked. Whoever wanted to kill the trio was determined to give them no chance of escape. Then I had an idea: the door was just locked, so the person who locked them in had to have a key!

It was stupid, going after someone who was clearly prepared to murder another. I could't think of anything else though, and time was running out for Melissa. I ran as fast I could towards the forest, where I'd seen the bastard head to after locking the trio inside. I only hoped I'd find the son of a bitch in time. I couldn't bear the thought of the alternative.

It was only when I entered the forest that I realized how long it would take me to find the bastard. It would take hours, time which Melissa, Samantha and Ryan didn't have. There was no other choice though-the hotel was out of the question, since I wasn't supposed to be at the site. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves, and it was of Melissa that I thought of as I started walking, scanning the trees for a human figure of any kind.
