"How's it?" heru asked Gloria after a moment of silence. The girl turned to the direction of the voice with a gloomy look on her face.
"He can't be contacted. For some reason, since yesterday Rei also disappeared and I can't call."
"Jeez... Where exactly are they? What happened, and why did they disappear? I really don't understand. Were they kidnapped?"
"I don't know either, which I must have been on the phone many times by his mother Lusia who asked him where he was."
"Watch them gone. We need to call the police!"
"can't. It hasn't been twice twenty-four hours. So we can't report yet."
"Then what should we do? There's no way we're gonna shut up, are we?"
"We'll try to find her house first. After that, we'll take the next action."
"Okay. Then, go home to school later, we go straight to his house."
"Yes." Yeah."

"How's it?" ask Claire to her assistant.
"I've got the information you asked for."
"Really?"
"Yes, madam. I've also sent some people to check into Rei's residence to inquire about his whereabouts."
"good. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's no problem, madam."
"You can go."
The man bowed before then retreating from in front of Claire.
As his assistant left, the old woman fell silent. His focus shifted to a frame containing a photo of himself with his favorite grandson.
Twenty-four hours have passed, even more. Since the disappearance of his favorite grandson, Lucia.

"So, Rei didn't come to school? And you came here to ask about her lover?" asked Isyana who now seemed shocked by what she had just heard.
"Rubber. There is a possibility that the mother's son took Lucia away" said one of the men who came to his house.
"Don't just accuse! My son can't do such a thing!" isyana.
"We are not accusing. We're just talking about possibilities."
"That's a possibility, and it doesn't mean the child you mean is missing with my son! Anyway, Rei came home yesterday, and he didn't bring anyone!" jab Isyana with an annoyed face.
"So Rei came home yesterday?"
"Yes. Not even just me looking, but everyone in this house knows Rei's coming home."
"Do you have any evidence?"
An annoyed Isyana immediately shouted to her housekeeper and asked him to testify to convince the two men that yesterday, Rei came home.
Instead of helping her, the old woman who became her domestic assistant said no. He said yesterday, Rei didn't come home all day.
Isyana rounded her eyes to hear the words of her house assistant.
"What do you mean he didn't come home yesterday?!" annoyed screams.
"But it's true, madam Rei yesterday did not come home" she said.
"God. You're blind, you forget, or what? Why can you say that Rei didn't come home?!"
"If the mistress does not believe, the mistress can check the CCTV in front of the house. If Mr. Rei comes home, he'll be caught, right?"
"Okay, let's prove it. If you get it wrong, watch out. I'll cut your pay!" annoyed Isyana who immediately took her phone and checked the recording connected to the object.
Once in check, he was made wide-eyed when the maid's speech was right.
