A few minutes passed before the refrigerator door opened slightly. The operator leaned closer to the monitor, expecting to see someone waking up. Instead, a small family dog emerged from the narrow space beside the cabinets. It slowly walked toward the mattress, sniffed the blankets, and stopped beside the youngest family member.
The dog looked toward the kitchen again before quietly disappearing behind the motorcycle. Suddenly, one adult opened their eyes. Rather than getting up, the person looked directly toward the kitchen. Something about that brief reaction made the operator realize the family might have known more than the recording initially suggested.
