“Where did everyone go?” Phyllis asked.

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

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.”
