Rumble!
A rumble of thunder echoed through the dark sky.
Justin felt as though he had been struck by lightning as h went numb.
All he could feel was his beating heart and his emotions washing him.
“Frank, how long has Ms. Brown assisted you with mountain patrol?” Justin’s hoarse and strained voice
suggested he was fighting back his emotions.
“It’s been three years. She often came here to help out whenever she could.”
So, it started when they first got married.
Justin’s heart skipped a beat.
He found it hard to breathe with the catch in his throat. ‘Anna Brown… Bella Thompson … You have
been going behind my back, doing the same things I did over the years. But I have my reasons. What’s

Justin’s head hurt as the bouts of mystery were driving him nuts.
“It’s about to pour.”
Frank looked at the cloudy sky and pulled out his walkie-talkie to communicate with Xavier. “We’re

“I got it, Frank,” Xavier responded.
With bloodshot eyes, Justin clenched his jawline and ran toward the trailhead of Mount Jaglee.
“Mr. Salvador, where are you going?” Frank shouted in a panic.
Justin kept on going, murmuring in his head to go to her.
He needed to find her.

The sky loomed gray and heavy.
Even though it was still daytime, the overcast sky brought about a dreary mood.
The lightning ripped across the sky. The raging storm seemed to be sending a strong message to the
park rangers to get out of the woods.
“I don’t know what to say.”
As the park rangers moved forward with difficulty, some whined, “We have issued a warning about
potential stormy weather. Why don’t people take our advice? Why do they put themselves at risk to
hike up the mountain?”
“Now isn’t the time to complain about it. As park rangers, our duty is to ensure the safety of the hikers.”
Drenched in the rain, Xavier yelled at his rangers.

“Yes, Captain!”
Although Bella wore a raincoat and a windbreaker, her attire was vulnerable against the forces of
Mother Nature. She felt chills and breathed out water vapor. She struggled to move ahead in the
stormy weather.
Even though they were split into two groups, Mount Jaglee was a huge base to cover.
“Help! Save me! Help!”
“The hiker is nearby. I can hear her screaming for help.” Bella stopped and keenly looked at her
surroundings.

Covered in mud, the hiker broke into tears. “My foot is stuck under the rock. It hurts!”
“Don’t panic. I’m coming down to save you now.
Bella was about to bite the bullet and lay against the edge of the slope to save her when Xavier made it

“Ah! Help!”
The hiker’s terror-stricken voice came from under.
Bella watched in horror as the woman slipped and fell another 2
