Chapter 50
When two hours passed and Derek hadn’t returned from his maze exploration, Rachel became restless. Zoe was awake from her nap and playing with Elaine in their shared room, while Alfred had gone on an impromptu solo fishing trip at his lake. He said it was a relaxing activity he enjoyed doing when the weather was pleasant.
Rachel was left alone downstairs and the only company she had was the domestic staff passing by now and then as they did their chores around the huge house. She knew that this was a good time to explore parts of the house alone, but her mind kept going back to Derek. What if he was lost in the maze and couldn’t find his way back? What if he needed help and he could call them because he hadn’t gone into the maze with his phone? What if he was having a panic attack and needed help with recovering from it?
