Reviewing the Footage
The next morning, while Jacob was out, Elena reviewed the footage from the night before. She replayed the moment he left the house, zooming in on his face. His expression was strained, almost fearful. But what stood out most was how he checked the kitchen drawer before leaving. She hadn’t noticed it the night before. Curious, Elena walked over to the kitchen and opened the drawer. Inside, she found nothing unusual—just some old papers. But something felt wrong.

A Mysterious Routine
Over the next few nights, Jacob’s strange behavior continued. He would leave the house late at night, sometimes for an hour, sometimes longer. Each time, Elena watched him through the cameras, her anxiety growing. He never said where he was going, and when she asked, he dismissed her with vague excuses. “Just clearing my head,” he’d say, or, “Couldn’t sleep.” But Elena knew there was more to it. The pieces of the puzzle weren’t fitting together. Something was missing.
