"good job. You may return, and in exchange for having brought Lucia here, you are free from duty."
"Good, sir." Melinda bent.
"I'm sorry." Andrich and Melinda turned around ready to step up, but the professor stopped the two first.
"Not with you Melinda!" he said that in an instant his steps stopped.
Melinda and Andrich turned to her who had just said
"Don't forget that you still have a job."
"Oh.right. I still have to catch…"
"Are you assigning Melinda to arrest who?" His master turned to Melinda and the professor in turn.
"That's.." Melinda was confused as to what to explain.
"Rei. Melinda was given the job of catching him." Andrich.
Professor rounded his eyes. He did not believe Melinda explained her duties to other evolvers.
Melinda looked down with a scared face.
"You're assigning Melinda to arrest him?" His master turned to the professor.
"Let me explain, I haven't explained this to you yet because…"
"You just want to make sure first, don't you? I know that," cut off the master.
"How can you…"
"You don't have to worry about Rei. He'll come here by himself" cut him off again.
"How can you be sure?" The professor showed a confused face.
The man turned his head towards Lucia who was still unconscious before him.
"Because Lucia is here" he murmured.
"Lussia? What does this have to do with him?" The professor doesn't understand.
"Lusia is her lover. The lover of Rei."
"So we don't have to worry about Rei. Because he will come by himself to save Lucia. And in that moment, we'll catch him. You better keep an eye on Joe's job. The man still hasn't managed to catch Elvina and William."
Professor speechless. He did not expect that Rei still had anything to do with Lucia.

"Better now you go home, Rei," Elvina said as soon as they arrived at her house.
"I'll accompany you here. I want to make sure you're okay."
"You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine, you better go home. I don't want Aunt Isyana to look for you and scold me because you didn't come home. Besides, I don't want to get Aunt Isyana to wonder why you're staying here and she knows she's missing."
"But what about you? I can't leave you alone in this state."
"I'm fine, so go home. We continue the search tomorrow."
"You sure?"
Elvina nodded slowly in response.
Rei sighed softly, then said, "it's fine that you say that. I'm going home. But if there's anything, call me immediately."
"Okay."
Rei got up from his seat. Grab her bag and immediately go home to rest before returning to continue the search.
The day has changed at night. And Rei had been on the phone continuously by Isyana who asked her whereabouts.
Although speaking in a sharp tone, Rei knew his mother was still always worried about him when he came home late.
Rei drove his bike down the night road.
The sky was dark. There were only white clouds clustered and continued to move following the wind that blew.
Not only Elvina or Rei, even the heavens knew what they were feeling when one of them disappeared.
Vacuity. It is like a night without stars, and dark without light.
Rei's mind was full of the lost William and Lusia.
