The second exit gate to the Mansion where Evans took to avoid his brother's Fans to the hospital was also clogged.
This somehow obstructed his passage since he had to use his car horn constantly to clear the crowd away from the road, which seemed quite difficult.
In the process of his frustrations, at a seemingly impossible task, Evans became impatient with the stubborn fans who barely moved out of the way to grant him a passage through.
Then he heard his phone ringing at that moment.
Evans noticed Sarah calling...on the screen. And since he was already stranded in the middle of the road anyway, he paused to answer her call.
"Hello! Sarah, I am quite stranded right now...
But before Evans could finish his sentence Sarah interrupted.
"I am sorry, Doctor Evans...but Doctor Fred returned my call so I had to report to him about the patient's condition. I only called to tell you that Doctor Fred is already here and we have the situation under control." Sarah informed.
"So, is Dr. Fred already in surgery?" Evans asked.
"Yes sir...we are currently prepared to go into surgery but the call I placed to the blood bank has not yet been responded to." Sarah reported, suddenly panicked.
Meanwhile, an ambulance siren intruded into their phone call about the arrival of the blood, so Sarah immediately hung up the call in haste, and proceeded towards the emergency room to commence the surgery of the admitted patient, after an apology to Evans.
"Now, returning back to the house seems like another impossible task amidst these fans.." Evans muttered to himself in humor.
"In any case, there is no need to hurry now since I was just ditched!"
Evans relaxed into his car to take a nap while waiting for the fans to disperse.
The time on his wrist read 1 am when suddenly, the huge crowd before him began to depreciate and disperse to their various homes living the streets empty.
"Finally!..." Evans gasped and was ready to return to the house when another Nurse from the hospital called to report another emergency.
It was concerning three seriously injured accident victims. Therefore, Evans increased the speed of his car and sped toward the hospital.
It was on this emergency Evan was driving to at top speed when he accidentally met the most stubborn girl he had ever met in his life...Rhea.
He noticed she was stranded and seemed lost.
A damsel in distress whom he wanted to help after scanning her worse condition. She looked like hell at first sight...
As Eric sat in his office after attending to all the emergency patients, his mind finally trailed back to the girl he left in his car.
But he realized from the CCTV footage that she left immediately. Even though he couldn't help but wonder how she made it out of his car when he had bound her securely to her seat.
In any case, he finally admitted she didn't need his help or any medical attention.
Moreover, Evans was still worried about her broken ribs when he examined her. He also hope she wouldn't consider another suicide attempt after her escape.

An hour before Rhea's escape from the warehouse...
The safe escape Rhea desperately made out of the creepy warehouse seemed like a huge miracle.
After Jason left with Sam, leaving her unconscious, alone, and broken-down, she felt shattered after Jason's confession.
Rhea woke up from her conscious state and noticed she was alone in the room.
She moved to twist the doorknob and noticed it was locked.
"Did what she went through happen for real? Sam betrayed her on Jason's request. Or did she just imagine everything!" Rhea thought.
But as her mind dwell more, she realized it couldn't be a dream since the heart-wrenching pain still lingered and was now suffocating her.
Rhea cried her eyes out feeling alone.
However suddenly, like a pillar of support she always had, she remembered her sister, Kristine.
The only true ally she had whom she hadn't been that obedient and caring to...Her sister Kristine!
Meanwhile, Rhea was at the point of breaking down and wanted to willingly surrender her cruel fate to whatever Jason was about to do to her next.
She didn't have any energy left to fight. She felt crushed!
That was when Kristine's support and words of encouragement during the difficult therapy sessions she went through in the past, repeatedly played inside her mind.
These words made everything easier and bearable until she completely overcame her drug problem and heartbreak.
These soothing words replayed inside Rhea's mind until she felt them vibrate deep into her subconsciousness.
"Don't break down Rhea..fight! Never give Jason the pleasure of seeing you crumble at his feet... don't let him break you more than he already did! Fight!" Kristine's words felt like water to her in a hot desert.
Rhea envisioned it like her sister was right there with her in that lonely creepy room, to warn her not to give up and to come back to her senses and persevere to the end.
Therefore, the words sank deeper and they boosted her with newfound hope.
Meanwhile, the unusual noise she normally heard coming directly outside the door, from Kyle and Josh standing guard, was no longer heard at that moment.
There was an odd silence that only echoed her whimpers in the cold creepy room she was locked in.
That was when Rhea realized none of the guys were around, they must have headed back to the party to prevent their strange disappearance from getting noticed.
So Rhea used the opportunity to successfully plan her escape.
It seemed they didn't think she might try to escape from them since they left her broken....they thought she was some weak, vulnerable girl.
Rhea abruptly stood up and removed a sharp object around her hair, which she took as a self-defense weapon in case Jason's intentions towards her included taking advantage of her.
It surely worked for her in this case and she used the object and fidgeted with the door lock.
Upon countless attempts, Rhea successfully heard the door open.
She took off her heels since Jason didn't give her a chance to change out of her party clothes.
Nonetheless, Rhea discreetly left the warehouse toward home barefooted.
In the dark hours of midnight on the lonely dangerous roads toward home, in an unfamiliar dangerous town.
It was around 2:00 am after following the longest road and its hazards, when she accidentally met the stranger doctor who introduced himself as Evans Kurt, and he took her along on his way to the hospital.
Meanwhile, the situation that contributed to Rhea eluding him after the stopover at the hospital, was because of the accident victims on the stretchers.
At the hospital, Rhea hastily fought to free herself from Evans's bondage in the car when she recognized one of the patients being dragged on the hospital stretcher toward the emergency room.
It was Tom Carter! Jason had indeed sabotaged his car with her help...hence, this accident!
And there she was, as Rhea stared in horror at Tom Carter lying in the pool of his blood on a hospital stretcher, her trauma resurfaced.
"Oh, God! What have I done? This never-ending trauma doesn't seem to stop. On top of the betrayal, and giving her a permanent unrecoverable pain of involving Sam, Jason had also turned her into a murderer." These thoughts felt like a piercing knife into her already damaged heart.
"This is all my fault!." Rhea's uncontrollable tears didn't cease to stop flowing all the way home in the taxi she hailed.
She was now a murderer!...
***
An hour after her escape,
Sam Wilby, Rhea's heartless indifferent boyfriend was the first to notice her disappearance when he returned shortly after her escape with a tray of food from the party, he guessed Rhea didn't have anything since they arrived in camp.
He thought that must be the reason she fainted!
However, contrary to what Sam was expecting, of a shattered heartbroken girl he left behind a while ago, Sam was gravely shocked when he didn't find Rhea and the door lock was a mess.
Therefore, he rushed back to the party to call Jason's attention to her escape.
"She escaped!" Sam whispered into Jason's ears which called the attention of Kyle and Josh when they saw Jason rush out with Sam, and both friends joined behind them.
"I think someone must have helped her. it seemed quite impossible for her to unlock the door and escape... Rhea was a weak girl after all." Kyle blabbered, keenly staring at Sam. As if suspecting his handiwork in helping Rhea escape.
However, Sam took offense at the accusations since he and Kyle couldn't stand each other, and never get along since the beginning.
Ever since Jason introduced him to them and allowed him into their group.
Nevertheless, Sam could already guess where Kyle's insinuations were heading.
"Weak? So, are you suggesting I helped her escape?" Sam confronted Kyle for his absurd talks.
He suddenly closed the distance between himself and Kyle, itching for a fight.
It seemed Sam had finally reached the end of his patience with Kyle's outrageous comments and insinuations
"Will you both quit it? shouldn't you be out there, searching for her? this is not the time to apportion blames. Find her before she does something we will all regret." Josh moved between them to stop them.
Meanwhile, contrary to what the boys were excepting about Jason's anger, they were surprised when they noticed a deadly scorn on his face instead.
"Let her be! She wouldn't even think of doing anything...I already made sure of that!" Jason Taylor reassured his friends, in his unique humor, about the threats he already put in place to keep Rhea within her limits.
After all, he wasn't the mastermind and brain behind the entire game for nothing. It was not his first time and it wouldn't be the last!
Jason's plots had no loose ends.
He knew he didn't wait for three years with his perfectly well-planned game only to mess it up down the road...That simply wasn't his quota as a loser.
Therefore, Jason turned to his friends with pride...satisfied with the strategies he put in place, and how everything worked out for the better toward his great accomplishments.
"Come on...let's move from here before anybody suspects anything." Jason dragged his friends out of the warehouse to return to the party, to avoid any arising suspicions later.
Mission Accomplished!
The four boys returned to the still ongoing party in camp and sneakily blended with the others to avoid any suspicions about their sudden disappearance, and the contented look on Jason's face didn't go unnoticed by Sam who was left curious about what was happening.
***
Rhea finally arrived home after hours on the road. She hastily alighted from the taxi after she handed the driver an expensive ring Sam gifted her on their last date as payment...
She felt so stupid now when she remembered all the amazing memories she had with him were all staged, unreal.
Sam had subjected her to general mockery and ridicule only to please Jason... None of his affections were ever real. She was only a means to an end.
And now here she was, turned into a murderer!
Rhea cleared her head with the gruesome memories etched into her mind and punched the door code to the house.
She rushed inside feeling slightly relieved when she saw her sister asleep on the couch.
Tiptoeing to not wake Kristine up and get discovered about her current state, Rhea rushed to head straight into her room.
But unfortunately, it seemed her sister heard her come in, so Kristine opened her eyes to look at the time.
It was five in the morning, then she shifted her gaze toward Rhea.
Kristine was shocked and speechless with her mouth agape when saw Rhea. She wondered why Rhea made it home early, not long after she excitedly left for their camping trip...then suddenly, she remembered Jason was amongst the crew.
Kristine scanned Rhea's appearance...the bruises, swollen finger on her cheeks, and her tattered dress, and felt like a hammer shoved into her chest...the pain was unbearable.
"Rhea!... What happened?" Kristine took sharp breaths.
She finally found her tongue to ask after grinding her teeth in anger at all the crazy likely explanations running through her mind.
It had to be Jason at the end of her sister's current state right now... How dare he!
On the other hand, Rhea's reply to her sister's question was to turn into Kristine's arms for comfort.
She held Kristine in a tight embrace which triggered all her piled-up tears to suddenly let loose. Rhea wept into her sister's arms.
All this while, apologizing and regretful for all her stubbornness to pay heed to any of her warnings...
"I should have listened to you Kris...he is a bas-tard and always had been." Rhea choked from her continuous tears.
"What happened? what did he do to you? tell me, Rhea." Kristine asked, worry written all over her face.
She became frightened the bastard Jason must have done something terrible to Rhea. Or else her sister wouldn't cry this miserably.
Her little sister wasn't this weak!
Rhea's only mistake was to see the good in people, and that was exactly why she dated a cruel guy like Jason Taylor.
Jason took advantage of Rhea's innocence, compassion, and ability to see good in people and corrupted her.
Kristine only agreed to let Rhea go to this camping because Sam will accompany her, even though she was still worried since Jason planned the trip.
Has she made the biggest mistake of her life, by giving in to Rhea's pleas to go?
Did that Sam whom she entrusted her sister to, just stood there watching while Rhea was being harassed and mistreated?
Kristine scanned Rhea's messed-up appearance again, and her anger began to build up wildly within her. She will never forgive the person behind Rhea's tears.....She won't!
On the other hand, Rhea let go of her sister and quickly run towards her room when she heard the door to her Mother's room open.
She didn't want her mom to see her in her current state.
"I thought I heard someone crying!" Mrs. Rachel Sanders, the girl's mother spoke to Kristine who was trying to hide her teary eyes from her Mother.
"It's the television mom...a drama I was watching. Sorry, I woke you up from all the noise." Kristine lied deliberately.
"I just thought I heard your sister's voice! I must have misheard. Goodnight dear!" Rachel kissed Kristine's forehead and went back into her room.
The moment Kristine heard the click on her Mom's door shut, she quickly got up and knocked on Rhea's door.
She had to find out what exactly happened to Rhea on the camping trip, or she wouldn't be able to sleep.
The worry and tension will kill her for sure, so Rhea had better start talking!
