It had a simplistic interior with just a few pieces of furniture which made the house appear extremely empty. Listening carefully, they heard the faint sounds of a little girl crying.

Dean's expression darkened. "Why did you lock her up? Can't you just raise her like you would a normal child?" "That's funny. When have you becso charitable, Mr. Jennings? Both Elliot and Avery have been searching for her, and this little girl... Well, she is not easy to manage, and she keeps trying to escape. She would have run off if I didn't lock her up." Dean fell silent when he heard Holly's explanation.
"You guys can go upstairs! She's in a room on the second floor," Holly said as she walked toward the kitchen. "I'm thirsty so I'm going to pour myself a glass of water! You guys want anything to drink?" "No," Dean said.
The sounds of the little girl's struggles and her cries grew louder. "Letgo... Letgo... You are all bad people..." Dean's heart was moved by her cries, and he desperately wanted to see what the little girl looked like before he took her away. He would not be able to rest until Ivy was in his hands.
"Come. Let's go upstairs!" commanded Dean as he watched Holly go into the kitchen.
The two bodyguards went ahead and Dean followed them closely.

The bodyguards inspected the floor before turning their attention to the room with the closed door.
All the other doors were open, enabling them to enter the rooms and they had seen no sign of the little girl, which meant that she could only be inside the room with he closed door. Dean shot his bodyguards a look, and they turned the doorknob and opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Dean spotted the girl sitting on the floor. Her wrists and ankles were shackled. Tears covered her face She looked helpless, and the sight was enough to move any person who saw her. Dean had not noticed that his bodyguards had stopped moving after stepping into the room.
"Ivy, don't cry! am here to rescue you!" Dean hurried toward the little girl and helped her up. "Curse these bad people! How could they lock you up in here like you are sbeast... Don't be afraid. No one will ever dare to bully you ever again!" S Dean helped the girl up and proceeded to wipe the tears off her face.
The girl lifted her chin and batted her eyes at Dean, before asking innocently, "Grandpa, do you want to see a magic trick?" Dean froze in surprise as he had not expected the girl to say such a thing, and he had completely forgotten to check if the girl before him looked anything like Elliot or Avery.
The little girl unlocked the chains on her wrists with ease, before bending down to unlock the chains around her ankles. "This is such a fun game!" The little girl chuckled cheerfully.
