Chapter 28

After lunch, Phyllis was taken aside for a chat by the director’s team. When she came back rubbing her eyes, she found only Bblythe left in the living

“Where did everyone go?” Phyllis asked.

Bblythe shrugged. Tm not sure, maybe they went to get water?”

Phyllis looked around, glancing towards the kitchen. The kitchen’s this way, right? I’ll go check

Suddenly, a shrill scream, muffled and terrified, rang through their ears. Phyllis froze, whipping her head towards Bblythe. Bblythe also stood up from the couch in shock. That sounded like Hubery. Let’s go check it out!”

The cameraman stumbled, nearly falling, looking confused.

Phyllis quickly shut the back door, blocking the cameraman’s path. They’re not outside,” she quickly explained.

Bblythe, still pale from the horrifying scene she’d glimpsed, hurriedly added, “Yeah, yeah, they’re not in there.”

The cameraman looked puzzled. “But we heard noises from outside.”

“Move! What the hell is happening out there?” the cameraman tried to push past.
