Austin and Alexander fell silent before the latter asked, “Who was the first to realize Rhea went missing?” “T was,” Austin pointed to himself, adding, “But I only peeked through the window.
I didn’t have the key.
Who else could open the door besides you?” Alexander did not answer, but they exchanged a knowing look.
“Tt can’t be him!” Austin shook his head after some thought.
“He hates Rhea as much as me.
I don’t believe he opened the door for her, let alone free her.” Alexander said, “I agree, but we must think logically.
As you said, she couldn’t have vanished.
Even if she could become invisible, she’d need to open the door.
That means there’s only one possibility.
Perhaps it wasn’t Mike, but someone must’ve opened the door for her.” After pondering for a while, Austin said, “Did she only run away when we opened the door?” He shivered, thinking, ‘Did Rhea become invisible and escape when we inspected the seemingly empty house? She could have murdered us!’ “That’s unlikely,” Alexander said readily, “Even if we couldn’t see her, we could sense her presence.
I was the one who opened the door.
I felt nothing when I entered, not even the slightest warmth.
I’m sure she wasn’t in the house then.” As someone trained in combat, he could somehow sense people’s presence.
Even if he could not see a person, he could sense their heartbeat and breathing as long as they were alive.
