The next morning, Mark went through Emily’s things while she was in the shower, finding a note on the kitchen counter that sent chills down his spine: “You’re not ready. This is too much.” The note was unsigned, but the cryptic message made everything click into place. Was Emily hiding something from him?
The tension reached a boiling point when Mark found himself alone with Coco one afternoon. The capybara stood in front of the door, refusing to let him leave. Mark shoved the animal aside, but it wouldn’t budge. He called Emily, but she was still out. Frustrated, Mark finally decided to do what he’d been avoiding, he dialed 911.
When the police arrived, Mark explained that he had become concerned about Emily’s secretive behavior and Coco’s increasingly protective nature. They took the situation seriously, sending a unit to check on Emily’s well-being. As the officers spoke to Emily, Mark’s heart raced. He feared the worst, was Emily involved in something dangerous? Had Coco been trying to warn him about something he couldn’t see?
