Stuck in an Island with Twelve Beautiful Women-Chapter 77: Search for Gladwin
Everyone became worried because Gladwin went missing. Sam didn’t say anything. Layla noticed Sam was acting weird and she thought Sam might have something to do with Gladwin’s missing.
As Layla observed Sam’s unusual behavior and the growing concern among the group over Gladwin’s disappearance, a seed of suspicion took root in her mind. Though she had always trusted Sam as a valued member of their community, his recent actions had raised doubts that she couldn’t ignore.

Approaching Sam with a mixture of apprehension and determination, Layla sought to confront him about his possible involvement in Gladwin’s disappearance. With a furrowed brow and a steely gaze, she fixed him with a scrutinizing look, searching for any hint of guilt or deception in his expression.
"Sam,"
Layla began, her voice firm yet tinged with concern,
"I couldn’t help but notice that you’ve been acting strangely ever since Gladwin went missing. Is there something you’re not telling us?"
The weight of her words hung heavy in the air, the tension palpable as Sam struggled to meet her gaze. Though he knew that he had nothing to do with Gladwin’s disappearance, the accusatory tone in Layla’s voice left him feeling defensive and vulnerable.
"I-I swear, Layla, I don’t know anything about what happened to Gladwin,"
Sam stammered, his voice tinged with desperation as he sought to defend himself against her suspicions.
"I was just as shocked as everyone else when he went missing."
But despite his protestations of innocence, Layla remained unconvinced, her gaze unwavering as she continued to scrutinize him for any sign of deception. In that moment, Sam realized that he would need to prove his innocence if he hoped to regain the trust of his companions, and uncover the truth behind Gladwin’s disappearance once and for all
Layla walked towards Jude to tell something to him. Jude and Audrey were on cleaning job.
Layla: "Jude, Audrey, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Jude: "Sure, Layla. What’s on your mind?"
Audrey: "Is everything okay, Layla?"
Layla: "I’m not sure, honestly. It’s about Sam. Ever since Gladwin went missing, he’s been acting really strange."
Jude: "Strange how?"
Layla: "Well, he’s been avoiding eye contact, and he’s been on edge. It’s like he’s hiding something."
Audrey: "Do you think he knows something about Gladwin’s disappearance?"
Layla: "I don’t know for sure, but it’s possible. I mean, he was the last one to see Gladwin before he went missing."
Jude: "But that doesn’t necessarily mean he had anything to do with it. Maybe he’s just scared, like the rest of us."
Layla: "You’re right, Jude. I don’t want to jump to conclusions. It’s just... worrying, you know?"
Audrey: "I understand, Layla. But we can’t accuse Sam without any evidence. Let’s keep an eye on him, but let’s not make any assumptions until we know more."
Jude: "Agreed. We’ll stay vigilant, but we won’t jump to conclusions."
Layla: "Okay. Thanks, both of you. I just needed to get that off my chest."
Audrey: "Anytime, Layla. We’re all in this together."
Jude: "Exactly. Let’s focus on finding Gladwin and keeping everyone safe."
As they concluded their conversation, Layla, Jude, and Audrey resolved to keep a close watch on Sam while continuing their search for Gladwin. Though suspicions lingered, they knew that they needed to remain level-headed and thorough in their investigation, lest they make a grave mistake in accusing an innocent member of their group.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the landscape, the survivors gathered around the flickering fire to discuss their plan for the night. With darkness descending upon the island, the dangers of venturing into the forest became all too apparent, the threat of monsters and wild animals lurking in the shadows too great to ignore.
"We should wait until morning to search for Gladwin,"
Layla suggested, her voice echoing the collective sentiment of the group.
"Going into the forest at night would be too risky."
Jude and Audrey nodded in agreement, their expressions grave as they considered the perils that awaited them in the darkness. Though their hearts ached with worry for their missing friend, they knew that their safety must come first.
"Agreed,"

Jude replied, his voice firm yet tinged with sadness.
"We’ll need to stay vigilant tonight, but we won’t risk our lives by venturing into the forest after dark."
Audrey cast a wary glance towards the dense trees looming on the edge of the clearing, a shiver running down her spine at the thought of what horrors might lie hidden within their depths.
"Let’s make sure the shelter is secure,"
she suggested, her voice tinged with urgency.
"We’ll need to stay together and keep watch throughout the night."
With a solemn nod, the group set to work fortifying the shelter, gathering branches and vines to reinforce its walls and setting up a watch rotation to keep guard against any potential threats. Though their hearts were heavy with worry for Gladwin, they knew that they must remain vigilant and united in the face of the dangers that lurked in the darkness.
And as they settled in for the long night ahead, their minds filled with thoughts of their missing friend and the uncertain future that lay ahead, they clung to the hope that with the dawn would come answers, and, perhaps, the safe return of their beloved companion.
Aware of the dangers that lurked within the forest at night, monsters, wild animals, and the sinister unknown, Layla suggested postponing the search until the following day. Her words resonated with the group, who understood the risks involved in venturing into the darkness.
Despite their concern for Gladwin’s safety, they recognized the importance of prioritizing their own well-being and the cohesion of the group. The suspicion surrounding Sam and Fera only added to their apprehension, casting a shadow of doubt over their already fraught situation.
As they fortified the shelter and established a watch rotation to guard against potential threats, the survivors found themselves caught between the need for answers and the imperative of self-preservation. Though their hearts were heavy with worry, they resolved to remain vigilant and united in the face of adversity.
With the night closing in around them, they steeled themselves for the long hours ahead, their thoughts consumed by the mysteries that lingered in the darkness and the hope that with the dawn would come clarity, and, perhaps, the safe return of their missing friend.
