Falling For The Alpha King novel Chapter 3

"Lisa, Lisa," exclaimed Bruce who was Lisa's father and a group of men consisting of police and rescue teams.

They all walked in the dim night, sharpening and focusing their eyes to find the girl's whereabouts. Meanwhile, Sean and a few policemen wait at the edge of the cliff.

Bruce hopes that Lisa is safe and that nothing bad happens to her. The man's thoughts and feelings were very chaotic. If something happened to her daughter, he would never be able to forgive himself.

They descended the cliff slowly through a path that could only be passed by one person using safety equipment. The condition of the path is quite dangerous with wet and slippery ground conditions.

Several men from the rescue team led the way in front of which Bruce was included, then-Sheriff Webb and one of his men followed behind. The fog under the abyss was very thick.

Not unyielding, they all continued to walk down the cliff, although the more they walked towards the bottom of the abyss, the dense fog increasingly covered their visibility. Until finally, the rescue team leader gave up and called out to all of them, “The fog is too thick, it's too risky. How about continuing the search tomorrow morning when the sun starts to rise and the fog clears up?”

Sheriff Webb looked at Bruce and waited for his answer saying, “He's right, Bruce. It's too risky, even though I know you're worried about Lisa. However, our lives are all in danger if we continue the search tonight. The decision is in your hands."

Bruce was silent and didn't say anything. He gazed into the bottom of the misty abyss. On the one hand, he wants to find Lisa as soon as possible, but he can't be selfish by sacrificing many lives.

"Okay, I agree. Let's go back and continue the search tomorrow morning," Bruce said.

Then Sheriff Webb called out to everyone, "Let's get back and continue the search tomorrow morning when the sun is just starting to rise."

They all went back up the cliff. That night the search was stopped, they all returned to the temporary base located at the edge of the forest. Bruce walked side by side with Sean, and then the boy looked back and mumbled, "Lisa, please hang on."

The two of them walked at a slow pace while looking straight into the darkness of the forest. Everything felt like a dream that passed very quickly. Just a few days ago, Lisa and Sean arrived in Stowe Town and now bad things happened to both of them.

Arriving at the temporary base, Sheriff Webb intends to interrogate Sean about what happened to him and Lisa. Then, he walked over to Bruce who was sitting alone in the corner of the room pensive. At that time, Bruce and Sean were sitting separately.

Sheriff Webb sat beside Bruce and touched the man's shoulder.

“Bruce, how are you? I have to interrogate your son, is that all right?” asked Sheriff Webb.

"I'm worried about Lisa, I'm afraid she won't survive, they entered the forbidden forest, and you know about it too, right?" Bruce replied sadly.
