    Eps XV Nose Down, Tail Up

    A storm looms over Scatter View, thunder rolling in like an omen. The road is slick, the trees towering, the night swallowing everything in its path. Somewhere in the chaos, a story is unraveling—twisting, slipping through fingers like a memory half-remembered.

    A voicemail surfaces, buried and forgotten. A message that shouldn’t be missing—gone from one phone, but not the other. A bloodhound picks up a trail, but where it leads changes everything we thought we knew. The pieces don’t fit, the timeline bends, and a blue sedan speeds off into the unknown.

    This isn’t just a disappearance—it’s a maze of contradictions. And the closer we get to the truth, the more the shadows shift.

    Did Shane Barton leave on his own? Or did something far more sinister take him into the night?

    The clock ticks in the shadows as secrets claw their way to the surface. In this gripping chapter of Hide and Seek, James (Baysinger) plunges into the chaos surrounding Shane Barton's disappearance, unraveling a story where every answer spawns two more questions. The text messages, the arguments, the desperate pleas—they all carry the weight of something just out of reach, like a voice in the dark whispering warnings too late to hear.

    Rachel Barton, raw and relentless, opens a window into a fractured past, piecing together memories of love, frustration, and eerie silence. Shane’s phone is a treasure chest of clues—cryptic messages, unsettling patterns, and sudden shifts that feel more like cracks in a frozen lake

    Tension twists tighter with every revelation. Financial strains that snap like frayed ropes, family ties that bind too tightly, and a lingering question—was this escape, betrayal, or something far worse? The answers feel close enough to touch, but just as elusive as Shane himself.

    The truth is waiting, hidden in the spaces between the lines. But when it reveals itself, will we be ready?
    A single unopened text sits like a ticking bomb in Shane’s phone. What did it say, and why didn’t he reply?
