There were no furniture or dividing walls. Only the kitchen and washroom were in separate rooms.
"Baam!" In the kitchen, one of the bodyguards pushed a cabdown.
Since they could not find Avery's phone despite the fact that there were merely a few pieces of furniture in the hut, they had resorted to shoving all the furniture down.
To their bewilderment, a miracle unfolded before them once the cabwas moved aside.

Everyone else ran over in an instant.
"Bring it down!" Nick commanded once he saw the door.
The bodyguard cleared his throat. "Boss, we can just open it." He then pulled the door open and an entrance appeared. It was dark. They gasped.
Ben had not expected his theory to be right. Chad was overwhelmed with a premonition that Elliot was long gone.
Just as the others stared dazedly at the entrance, Hayden went past them and darted into the darkness.
"Hayden! Let the bodyguard go first!" shouted Nick immediately, trying to stop him.
Nick was a cautious man and would never be the first to run headfirst into dangerous situations like this. His bodyguard heard him and immediately reached out to grab Hayden by the arm.
"We will lead the way. You are going to stay behind us!" The bodyguard grabbed onto the torchlight with one hand and his gun with another and headed in.
It was a cement stairway that led to the basement, which was far easier to walk on. They slowly descended, and soon, the light on the bodyguard's torchlight illuminated a pile of bones at the side. "Crap! I was right! I knew there would be a pit here as well!" Ben covered his nose and scowled.

"Mommy!" Ben and Chad hurried after him at the realization that Hayden had found his mother.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Hayden's voice trembled as he sobbed.
Hayden had always been proud and selfcentered, he had never lost his composure in front of others; however, when he saw the way his mother leaning against the wall, as pale as a ghost, it looked as though she had left him forever, and he could not control the sorrow that washed over him.
He threw his iPad away and crouched to lift Avery from the ground before hurrying outside toward the entrance. Tears roffed down his cheeks, blurring his vision, as he carried her in his arms. Avery's body was cold.
Though he had tried his best not to think about the worst outcome, the thought lingered and all his senses crumbled On the other hand, the other remained frozen in place as Hayden took Avery away.
Confused, Chad questioned frantically, "Where's my boss? Where's Mr. Foster?!" Nick's expression darkened; he arranged for one of his bodyguards to follow Hayden and said to the others, "Elliot is still missing! Keep looking!"
