Hailey tightly clasped her hand over her mouth when she heard heavy footsteps slow to a stop near her location. The squeaking of an opening door followed, and the hallway she was currently in was slightly illuminated by the light coming from Dr. Ramsay's bedroom.
"I already told you everything," she heard Dr. Ramsay say in a trembling voice. "Please leave my home and never return here."
'Who's she talking to?' Hailey wondered. From where she sat, hidden behind the vase, she could only see the shadows on the wall. The smaller one she knew belonged to Dr. Ramsay, but the other was tall and muscular, a man of very strong build.
Hailey could hear Dr. Ramsay's voice which was laced with fear. Whoever the man was, the elderly woman was beyond terrified of him. She couldn't hear his voice and guessed he wasn't speaking, but Dr. Ramsay kept pleading for him to leave her as if he was somehow threatening her without even saying anything.
