At ten o'clock the next morning, the staff gathered all the tourists together, saying they were going to lead them down the mountain.
"What? Descend the mountain in this awful weather?"
"Call your leader, I want to complain!"
"No way, I'm not going down, it's too dangerous!"
...
The tourists had many objections, and the staff looked troubled.
Finally, the staff suggested that those willing to go down the mountain should step forward and they would provide a free stay for one night.
Under the call of the staff, six young people, including Betsy Russell, stood up.
Betsy thought it was simple – the mountain trail wasn't long, and as long as she was careful and didn't slip, she could walk down slowly but surely.
Wearing a thick cotton coat, Betsy took the walking stick handed to her by the staff member and was about to leave.
The room's door was opened from the outside, and six bodyguards in down jackets and sunglasses entered.
