One Wrong Turn

Episode 45

Gradually, the anxiety i felt began to increase.
Ruth’s absence greatly disturbed me. All
through out the period of fighting in the hotel,
she never came out neither did Ramsey.

Negative thoughts began to sip through my
mind. I feared something bad might have
happened to Ruth. There was only one person
who should know where she is. Even if we had
just fought, i had no choice but to talk to
Hannah.

I looked around and spotted Hannah, she too
had a worried look on her face. She had her
phone to her ear for a while, obviously trying
to call someone. The frustration and
resignation after each attempt showed that
she wasn’t getting any success.
I marched towards her with obvious
annoyance.

“where is Ruth.? ” i demanded,
Hannah noticed the fury in my voice, she too
was scared. I expected her to reply harshly,
but i guess she too saw the enormity of the
situation, and her undeniable involvement.
” i don’t know where she went, i left her in the
hotel” she replied, with a shaky voice. She was
almost crying.
Her sudden change of emotion made no
difference to me. As far i was concerned, she
was as guilty as hell.
“why on earth did you leave her there? ” i
inquired further, spitting out more anger.
” i didn’t see them any more when i wanted to
go, she wasn’t answering her phone either.”

At the point, Hannah began to sob. Something
told me she knew more than she was letting
out. She wasn’t just panicking, there was more
to it. What ever it was, we had to find Ruth.
