As soon as they arrived at the scene, they saw that the road to the nearby mountain was closed off. The guardrail was shattered, and pieces of the carâs bumper and headlights were scattered on the ground. Tammy kept her fists clenched as she looked down at the cliff, and Alicia stood beside her. Then Dominic approached Tammy and handed her a bottle of water. âHave some water, Tammy. There is still hope for us. Your brother will be alright.â
Tammy did not drink the water. Instead, she stood there as still as a statue. A while later, Many people came to the accident site to help âTammy!â Peace yelled as soon as she stepped out of the car Having come back to her senses, Tammy returned her gaze. At the sight of Peace, she threw herself into Peaceâs arms and sobbed Peace then stroked her hair and comforted her. âIâm so sorry, dear Heâll be just fine.â At the moment, Peaceâs eyes were red as she spoke because she cried the entire way there Later, both Karl and Andrew arrived. Looking rather anxious, Karl asked the rescue team, âYou guys still canât find him?â
One of the members of the rescue team shrugged and said, âWe canât go down there by helicopter because the cliff is too deep and the terrain is too complicated. Only the most primitive method, rock climbing, is available. We tried several times, but we all failed. Itâs too difficult to climb down there, and the cliff face is covered in ice.â
âSo, what are we supposed to do?â Karl asked Meanwhile, Tammy couldnât stop crying, which made Peace even 559 Itâs A Trap A more anxious. She asked the rescuers, âSo youâre going to stand here and do nothing the whole time? Then why did you guys come here?â
âCalm down, honey!â Karl immediately said âIâm his godmother, and itâs my job to keep him safe. How can I explain to Anna if something happens to Matthew?â Peace started crying âLet me do it!â Suddenly, a woman said with determination. Peace stopped crying right away. When she turned around and saw who was coming, her eyes widened. âEmily!â
Emily approached Peace and asked, âAre you all right?â
Tammy cried harder when she saw Emily. She said, âAunt Emily! Thank God youâre here!â
Emily wiped the tear on Tammyâs face gently. âDonât cry, sweetie There are many people here. Your parents would be heartbroken if they knew how sad you were. Donât worry. Iâll save your brother right now.â
After that, Emily turned around and approached the rescue team at the cliffâs edge. âHowâs it going?â she asked âHis car crashed off the cliff. We couldnât hold the climbing spikes up because the cliff is icy and slippery. We can only go halfway down the mountain.â
Before starting to remove her jacket, Emily looked at the survey results. âGive me the rescue suit and the rope,â she said âWhat?â the rescue team leader asked, surprised âGive it to her,â Ryan commanded. He then showed the team leader his badge âMr. Tyler, hello,â the captain said right away âHello. You can give her the rope now.â
âGot it.â
Emily had been trained as a special forces soldier and excelled at rock climbing. The rescue team members required rock climbing spikes to safely get down this cliff. She was, however, able to go down with her bare hands. The other rescue team members gathered around and stared in awe at Emily. While Emily was climbing down, the data tester kept reporting the length of the rope going down deep. âTwenty meters... Now thirty meters...â
âCaptain, who is she? Sheâs awesome!â
âSheâs probably a subordinate of Mr. Tyler,â the captain said, scratching his head âActually, sheâs Mr. Tylerâs boss,â Karl explained âHow come?â
âSheâs Mrs. Tyler.â
Hearing that, the captain began shivering. He nervously asked one of his team members, âYou just double-checked everything, didnât you? Are you sure that the ropes are secure?â
âIâm sure itâs safe,â said one of the team members âMrs. Tyler herself went down there? Who was the one who fell off the cliff?â
âMr. Tylerâs nephew,â Karl replied Realizing that, the captain was on the verge of passing out. The entire rescue team stood nervously on the cliffâs edge. They were worried about Emily the entire time, even wishing they were on the cliff themselves And at the same time, Tammy clung to Peace, nearly crying her eyes out. Then Peace carried her to the car and left her to rest âWhereâs Wayne?â Peace asked after closing the car door, âI dialed his 559 Itâs ATrap A number, but he did not answer my calls.â
Without answering her question, Karl pulled Peace to the side âWhat? What happened to him? Does he even care about Matthew?â With a darkened face, Peace snapped âShh, keep your voice down. Donât let Tammy hear what youâre saying,â Looking at Tammy warily, Karl made a shush gesture to Peace and said in a low voice As Karl lowered his voice, Peace lowered her voice, too. She asked, âWhat exactly is going on?â
âHe should be on the plane by now,â Karl said quietly âWhat? Where is he going?!â
Karl responded when looking up at the sky and saying, âFleosil. His plane has been in the air for two hours. Wayne flew to Fleosil this afternoon without telling anyone because he didnât want us to go to the airport to see him off. Who wouldâve expected Matthew to have an accident at such a critical time?â
An hour later, Emily said over the intercom, âIâve found the car.â
Hearing that, everyone felt relieved. Then Ryan asked, âHowâs Matthew?â
âI donât know. No one is in the car.â
âWhere is he?â Clenching the intercom more tightly, Ryan asked nervously âI have no idea.â
The next morning, the headlines read, âCarousel Group CEO Falls Off Cliff, Missing.â In the morning, the anchor of the local morning news told the public about it âHow could he have vanished?â Karl asked, perplexed. At that time, he and his friends were staying in a hotel near the accident site Peace appeared to be very worried. âIs it possible that Matthew survived the fall and left on his own?â
âIt canât be. Emily went down to find him, and she couldnât be wrong After all, theyâve already brought his car up here and thereâs still no sign of Matthew.â
âThatâs not what I meant! Why are you misinterpreting my words?â Peace asked furiously. When Peace saw Emily walk out of the bathroom, she said, âEmily, you know thatâs not what I meant. Iâm just... Sigh... I just want Matthew to be okay.â
Emily nodded, âI get it. Actually, I am as anxious as you are.â
âPeace, I think youâre right. Iâve always thought the accident might not be as simple as it seems,â Andrew abruptly said Then everyone stared at him in surprise. Under their gaze, Andrew continued calmly, âHe was in his car when he fell off the cliff.
Since the car was there, Matthew should be there as well. So, how could it be?â
âWhat?â
âNo one would have known where Matthew had gone if Tammy hadnât called him. When I asked the employees at the venue, they said Matthew went to the finish line on the spur of the moment. So...â
âSo what? Donât keep us guessing.â Peace expressed concern âThey wanted to divert our attention with this accident. In fact, Matthew may not have even been in the car at the time the car drove off the cliff,â Emily said
