Lorenzo continued his search and eventually halted before a wardrobe, certain Raegan was inside. It was the only cabinet slightly open.

He pulled the wardrobe door open. “Honey, we meet again.."

Lorenzo abruptly stopped before he finished his sentence.

The wardrobe was empty. Inside, there were only neatly folded blankets and two pillows.

"Shit!" Loudly, Lorenzo cursed, his frustration escalating as he looked at the tidy blankets. He pulled them out and viciously stomped on them, cursing with every step. "Holy shit! Damn it!"

Lorenzo then grabbed the walkie-talkie, speaking fiercely. "Keep an eye on Katie. I'm going back to cut her tongue out!"

After he uttered those words, he slammed the wardrobe door, which then fell off its hinges, crashing loudly.

In solitude, the darker side of Lorenzo came forth, forgetting any semblance of elegance. He trashed the room thoroughly like a bandit and then paused in front of the mirror to adjust his clothes and hair.

After flashing a menacing smile at his reflection in the mirror, Lorenzo then left the room feeling strangely satisfied.

As Lorenzo's footsteps receded, Raegan crawled out of the wardrobe.

She was not in room 8020, where Lorenzo suspected, but in her original hiding spot in 8019.

Fortuitously, she managed to scramble back across the balcony as Lorenzo was entering 8020. Returning to 8019, she used a hanger to secure the balcony window, keeping her movements undetected.

Outside, the hallway was silent, with a surreal sense of dread permeating the air as Raegan watched the door of the thrashed room.

She could clearly hear the violent destruction from next door, the soundproofing of the hotel unable to withstand Lorenzo's rage.

Fortunately, Lorenzo hadn't wreaked the same havoc in 8019, or she would surely have been discovered.

Before stepping out, Raegan steadied her breathing, psyching herself up.

She hesitated at the door for a moment, and then returned to the bathroom to tap three short beats on the pipe as a signal.

Concerned that Mitchel might not hear, she quickly repeated the tapping three times, signaling "I'm okay."

She didn't wait for a response and quickly found the elevator using Cary's security map, even though it was her first visit.

However, she stared at the elevator, its metal doors looming ominously, before ultimately opting for the emergency exit, distrustful of the surveillance that might be monitoring the elevator's use.
