Later in the afternoon, Scarlett hurried over to Reese's house on her bicycle. She was confused and afraid.
When she reached their apartment, she got down from her bicycle and pushed it away before hurrying to their doorstep.
She banged her fists hard against the door but no reply came. Her uneasiness increased and she paced back and forth before knocking the door again.
They had no close by neighbors so she was left with only one option.
"Mr Manoah?! Mrs Manoah!! Ethel!!!"
She repeatedly called their names but there was no reply and it frustrated her.
She rushed to the backyard to see if she could get in but everywhere was locked.
"Where could they have gone to?"
She muttered to herself before hurrying back to her bicycle.
It took almost an hour before she finally reached her home. She was panting hard and beads of sweat ran down her face and her shirt stuck to her body.
