When Brian entered the apartment, an empty living room greeted him. Contrary to what he had expected, Anna was nowhere to be found.
He took a few steps forward.
"Anna?" he called her out hoping for a response but when he did not get one, he realized something wasn't right.
He had already called for backup but his men would take some time to arrive. He didn't want to waste any more time and decided to take things into his own hands.
Whoever was inside could be armed but Brian couldn't care less. He couldn't just stand outside like a coward hoping nothing would happen to Anna until help arrived.
……
Behind the closed bedroom door, Anna muffled a scream when Brian called her out. She didn't want him to come, but she also couldn't do anything.
The two men had dragged her inside one of the rooms when they heard Brian and Mrs. Thompson interact outside the apartment.
"Stay quiet." The man further pressed the knife against her neck.
