As the road continued to narrow, she was beginning to lose phone signals as well. Finally, as she entered an extremely lush forest, she saw a small wooden cabin in the middle of the woods.
The reality was grim, despite the fact that most log cabins in the woods sounded magical in fairy tales.
The wooden cabin was simple and covered in moss. It was carefully hidden in the woods, unnoticeable to most. There was simple fencing around it, making it look like an ordinary farmer's hut.
Lily checked the address on her phone again before looking up at the hut in front of her. She was sure this was the place. Other than the cabin, there seemed to be no other residences around.
As she couldn't drive the car forward anymore, she stopped and got out before walking to the cabin. When she reached the door, she realized that the house was not as simple as it looked on the outside.
There were surveillance cameras all around, and the cabin seemed to be fortified. This made her feel a little more at ease when she saw that he still made it a point to protect himself.
Sure enough, the surveillance worked, as she was immediately greeted when she arrived at the door. "Ms. Christian?"
The other party was a man with a thick beard, looking like a brute. Lily had never seen him before, yet he knew her last name.
After slightly nodding, the man said, "Please come with me!"
With that, he opened the door and stepped aside for Lily to walk in. Once she entered the compound, he closed the fence's gate again and strode into the house.
Lily followed closely behind him as she looked around the area.
