Chapter 2 - Riley Questions The Nurses About The Secret Video
Riley stared at the flickering security monitor, her heart pounding against her ribs as the strange figure stood motionless behind her past self.
She whipped around to face the four nurses in light-blue scrubs who stood huddled near the grand mahogany door.
“Which one of you was on night shift at 2:17 A.M.?” Riley demanded, her voice cutting sharply through the silent master bedroom.
The nurses exchanged wide, terrified glances, stepping backward as if proximity to the screen would incriminate them further.
“None of us were in this room at that hour; we’re strictly forbidden from entering after midnight,” the senior nurse whispered nervously.
Ethan’s cold gaze remained fixed on Riley, a silent observer weighing her reaction against the mounting mystery of the estate.
“They’re telling the truth, Riley,” Ethan said softly, his voice carrying an eerie calmness that chilled the air.
“Then who is that standing directly behind me in the dark?” Riley challenged, pointing a trembling finger at the display.
Ethan didn’t answer immediately, instead pressing a button on the armrest of his motorized wheelchair to dismiss the staff.
