Shannara walked towards the apartment's main door and held the doorknob. She attempted to open the door but nothing happened. It was locked from the inside. She knew that the kidnapper had obviously locked the apartment, but she still attempted to open the door anyway.
She took steps backward and decided to examine her surroundings once more.
"Maybe Sheloah's in the living room? Maybe she got tied down to a chair and had no means of escape. Hmm… does this have a basement?"
Shannara was talking to herself when she wondered about where Sheloah might be. She walked to the other side of the apartment and knelt down. She saw a small window, broke it with a stone, and attempted to enter. Her body could not fit so she gave up. She huffed and puffed her cheeks out of frustration.
