Jackson immediately reached under his pillow and pulled out a hidden gun. Because of the situation he was in, he was always on high alert, so an abnormality like this was extremely serious. Sure, it could have been a normal robbery - robberies weren't uncommon in remote areas like this - but, there was a huge possibility that someone was there for him.
At that moment, he heard some tapping on the wall beside him. It was coming from Amelie's room.
Jackson listened carefully and quickly realized it was Morse code: "Stay. Alexander and I will check."
Jackson quickly tapped back: "OK." He then heard Amelie's room door open, followed by light footsteps across the corridor.
A moment later, there was a loud scream from the kitchen followed by a gun shot. Jackson quickly recognized that the scream belonged to Mrs. Martin.
"Jackson, where are you?" a man's voice yelled in French.
"I think you got the wrong place. We don't know any Jackson," Mr. Martin's voice replied.
