Beating Heart

7 AM Peru.

From the base of The Sacred Valley, a small cabin served as the check-in and management area for the Skylodge Adventure Suites. From inside, a man was staring blankly at the pieces of equipment at the reception desk. 

 "Hey, did the couple from the third capsule climb down already?" Asked the reservations in charge. He was staring at the full payment for the accommodation, the harnesses meant for the said glass pod and other climbing equipment. 

"No. Why?" Asked the other man. 

The reservations in charge held up a note that read, "Sorry, we had to check-out early but we paid in full. Thank you for the wonderful stay."

Utterly puzzled, they called for the radio up in the cliffs and requested a check on the third capsule. To their shock, no one was there. Amanda and Christopher had disappeared out of nowhere. No one saw them descend from the mountain peaks. No one attended to them going down either.
