"We can't leave yet. Weren't the two Hughes brothers just going for a walk? Where'd they go?" Diane Russell scanned the area.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the distance. "Someone fell off the mountain! Someone fell off the mountain…"
For some reason, an ominous feeling washed over Christal Russell, and she headed toward the noise.
She saw the two Hughes brothers, an absolute mess, sprawled awkwardly at the bottom of a slope. It was impossible to tell if they were dead or alive.
Her mind went blank.
Her knees buckled, and she nearly collapsed.
Diane Russell, who loved being where the action was, clutched her side as she went over. Recognizing the Hughes brothers' clothes, she shrieked, "Christal, it's our cousins! Our cousins... Our cousins…"
.....
As Cecilia Adler made her way halfway down the mountain, she spotted Titus Shaw.
Her eyes swept over him, sizing him up.
