Inside the kitchen.
Michelle had heard the gunfire outside, so she stayed hidden.
While chaos reigned on the deck, the kitchen remained quiet. No one had entered.
Michelle felt relatively safe there.
Even after the shooting stopped, she didn't dare come out. She was still waiting for Elena to come get her.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps. Her heart leaped into her throat.
Was it the criminals?
Elena was alone against so many of them; maybe she had already been captured.
Maybe she couldn't escape either...
She began to tremble uncontrollably.
A figure ripped open the lid of the crate she was in.
"Ah! Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me!" Michelle screamed.
The intruder, panting heavily, grabbed her by the neck.
"Don't move! Shut up!" the man warned in a low voice.
He was wounded.
He had fled here to hide from the search parties.
He hadn't expected someone to be hiding in the crate.
Michelle looked at the man in horror. His arm had been shot and was bleeding profusely.
Hearing someone approaching from outside, the man grabbed her and dragged her into a corner to hide.
The person who entered was Tyler. He checked the crate and found it empty.
He was confused. The Boss had said there was someone in the crate.
Why was no one there?
Did she run away?
Just as Tyler was about to leave, he noticed blood on the floor near his feet.
The blood was still wet; it must have dripped recently.
He immediately went on high alert, slowly walking toward the pile of clutter in the corner.
Michelle was terrified.
She couldn't tell who was the good guy and who was the bad guy.
However, as Tyler approached, the criminal holding her hostage grew more tense.
