Chapter 2: A Servant's Intuition
Sam knocked on the door again, harder this time. After a few seconds that felt like hours, Sam finally opened the door to Bag End. He was sure Frodo wouldn't mind if he just came in since he spent a lot of his time there anyway. Sam couldn't explain exactly why he had rushed out into the snow storm-and against his Gaffer's wishes-with a horrible fear for Frodo's safety. All he knew was that he had seen his master leave his home looking distressed and never saw him return. Of course, Sam hadn't been in a position to see Frodo return if he had, so his fear was completely irrational.
But Frodo hadn't answered his door.
Sam went through the eerily quiet hobbit hole calling his master's name, but there was no reply. At last, when Sam was sure Bag End was empty, he headed out into the storm in the direction his master had gone.
