“Yes, Mr. Gunnar,” the attendants replied.

“Ah! Aaaah!”

The gate of Acketts Estate was tightly closed, but terrifying screams that occasionally echoed from within could be heard even when the curtains were drawn close.

William and Sean stood at the entrance with a deep sense of unease weighing down on them. Beads of cold sweat also trickled down their foreheads.

They could hear it vividly as it was the anguished cries of Thomas.

“William, stay here and be on the lookout. I’ll venture inside to see what’s happening,” Sean declared while raising his hand as if to push open the imposing villa doors.

Thomas had been caught in a whirlwind of torment for quite some time. His agonized shouts had begun over an hour ago and gradually escalated into a crescendo of despair.

Sean reached his breaking point and thus felt compelled to rush in to provide aid.

“Sean, please don’t act rashly!” William pleaded while grabbing hold of Sean’s arm. His voice was filled with patient reassurance. “We must have faith in Thomas. He’ll pull through.”

“William, don’t you hear Thomas’ cries? Can’t you sense his distress?” Sean swatted away William’s hand as his concern overrode any other considerations. He had to enter the villa and see with his own eyes, for only then he would find solace.
