To Summer Thorne, the group of men was unfamiliar and their appearance sudden, but they didn't seem to have any obvious malicious intent.
They didn't reveal their identities. They brought her to a hotel room but didn't take anything from her.
They even left her phone, seemingly unconcerned that she might call the police or ask someone for help.
And to them, Summer Thorne was just as strange.
A woman, all alone, faced with several strange men who appeared out of nowhere, yet she didn't struggle, resist, or show any fear. She just obediently went with them.
She didn't even ask who they were or what they wanted.
Instead, it was as if she was waiting for them to make their move.
Because of this, the men couldn't get a read on Summer Thorne and held off on making any rash moves.
Summer Thorne waited alone in the hotel room and tried calling Timothy York's number again.
Still no answer.
Afterward, she tried calling Ivan Gray and Silas Dunn.
