Rachel didn't know how to react. When she finally calmed down, she remembered that Holley had taken her to look for a lost child.
That day, Holley said that she had learned the location of that kid's house.
While looking around, they lingered near the house that later collapsed on Rachel. It was made of bricks and had a roof held up by thick beams.
There were two floors. The upper one was made of wooden frames that had broken down, soaked in the rain.
The cracked walls looked as if they might collapse at any time under the continuously pouring rain.
Rachel and Holley were just passing by that house when the former heard a child crying, but only for a second.
She suspected that she had just imagined that sound,
but she still told Holley about it just in case.
To her surprise, Holley replied that she had also heard a child crying. The two of them walked around the house, but found no trace of the child.
The rain intensified, making it harder for them to keep their eyes open, let alone find what they were looking for.
Rachel was about to suggest that they leave when Holley suddenly said,
"Do you hear that?"
Rachel turned around and asked with puzzlement, "Hear what?"
Holley pointed at the shabby room. "I heard some noise from inside."
"Really?" Rachel furrowed her eyebrows.
"Yes!" Holley exclaimed seriously. But as she hurried forward, she tripped and fell with a scream.
Rachel quickly walked over and helped her up. As Holley got up, her face turned pale and twisted in pain.
While waving her hand at Rachel, she said, "I'm fine. But I really think I heard a noise from there..."
Rachel squinted as she tried to pick up on the noise, but she couldn't hear anything over the booming sound of the rain.
After hesitating for a while, she said, "Wait here. I'll go in and have a look."
"Okay. Be careful," Holley said.
Now, recalling that scene, Rachel was sure that Holley hadn't known that the room would collapse.
And yet, there was something strange that she couldn't understand. Why had Holley stood there indifferently after seeing the house collapse on her?
Jack noticed that something seemed to be bothering Rachel after Vicky's visit, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
In the end, he asked her what Vicky and she had been talking about.
However, Rachel avoided the topic, making it obvious that she didn't want to discuss it with him.
