As we started walking, he mentioned calling Benson to inform him that I had been found. I quickly interrupted, suggesting that we should quietly return to the car and wait there instead. I apologized, pretending that my earlier reaction was simply due to fear of the forest. In reality, I was trying to buy time and think of a way to get out of the situation safely.
He eventually agreed to return to the car, saying he would use a tracker to guide us. While he spoke, I carefully watched his phone and noticed that he had already sent a message to the others. At that moment, I realized that if I didn’t act quickly, I might lose my chance to leave safely.
My mind raced as I searched for an opportunity. I needed a distraction—something that would give me just a few seconds of freedom. Then, I came up with a simple idea. I told him I needed a moment to step aside. As soon as he loosened his grip, I knew it was my only chance.
