The neighborhood was a ghostly tableau of old homes, long forsaken by their owners.

Weeds had claimed the yards as their own, and many of the houses had succumbed to the ravages of time,

collapsing into themselves. Valerie alighted from her car, compelled to traverse the desolate landscape on foot.

Anxiety ignited within her like a wildfire, consuming her from the inside out. She checked her phone, only to find

it as desolate as her surroundings - no signal.

With a sigh, she pocketed the device and began her uphill journey.Her children's whereabouts were a mystery;

her only option was to search each house, room by room. The houses were scattered, each one a lonely island in

a sea of desolation.

She had combed through nearly all of them, save for those that were beyond saving, completely reduced to

ruins. Yet, she found no trace of her children.Her voice, choked with tears, echoed through the silence as she

called out their names. Her pleas met with nothing but the oppressive silence. "I've followed your instructions;

now hand over my kids!" she bellowed into the void. "Where are you? Show yourself and prove tothey're

safe!""Show yourself!" Her tears overflowed, cascading down her cheeks as sobs wracked her body.

Overwhelmed by frustration, she stumbled and collapsed to the ground, surrendering to her despair.Insects

skittered through the grass around her, a sight that would have sent her leaping in fear on any other day. But not

today. Her face was numb, her mind consumed with worry for her children.

She wished it were her in their place.In the midst of her darkest hour, a faint voice pierced the silence.Valerie

stilled her sobs, holding her breath to listen.

The cool night air carried the distant sound of a child's cry.A spark of hope ignited within her. Abandoning her

bag, she scrambled to her feet and ran toward the sound.Finally, she found herself standing before a dilapidated

brick building, the cries now discernible.

Without a moment's hesitation, Valerie pushed open the door. Inside, her worst fears were realized her two

children were bound to a post."Joseph... Hannah!"

She rushed toward them.Both children, blindfolded, began to wail even louder at the sound of their mother's

voice."Mommy!""Don't be afraid; Mommy is here to save you," Valerie reassured them, removing their blindfolds.

She moved to untie them, but her heart plummeted as she discovered they were shackled with iron

chains."Mommy, I'm scared.""Don't be!" she insisted, wiping away her tears and tugging at the chains to no

avail.

She picked up a brick from the floor and began to hammer it against the chains, filling the room with a

cacophony of clanging sounds. Despite her desperate attempts, the chains remained steadfast. She scanned the

room for anything that could aid her, even contemplating breaking the wooden posts.

As she struggled to free her children, the faint scent of smoke wafted into her nostrils.Instinctively, Valerie looked

up to see plumes of thick smoke snaking their way into the room, advancing towards them like a relentless tide.
