The police call Paige Northwood to the scene to interpret for the witnesses. They’re in shock, but Paige senses the Hunters are hiding something.

2⭐️ Below Average.
This had a decent start and an okay ending , but boy was this slow going.
The narrator’s voice was very monotone and this certainly didn’t help the atmosphere.Julie7 2024-06-01
