Bella glanced at Justin. Surprised because his girlfriend kept ignoring the ringing phone.
"Why don't you pick up? It seems like an important call," Bella said staring in full search. But Justin was resolutely shaking. Then turn off the phone so that no more incoming calls.
"Just a prankster. I don't know, why these days so many unknown numbers are calling. Looks like I'll have to change the number" Justin said. He explained while looking straight ahead. Not daring to return Bella's gaze.
"really? In that case, maybe changing the number is the best option." Bella tries to trust Justin.
"I know." Justin developed a smile. She was glad Bella didn't doubt it.
The taxi stopped in front of Justin's apartment building. Bella can only deliver to the front. Then hand the carton bag to Justin.
"You don't want to stop by? Are you afraid that something that happened the other day will happen again? Come, Bella. You know--"
"Of course not. I haven't been home since last night. I was drunk and had to spend the night at a friend's house" explains Bella. Accidentally cut off Justin's words. Replying to Justin's lies with honesty.
"Friends? Cecil or Brian? Are there any other friends?" Justin probing.
"Just a friend who doesn't care about me. He wasn't even interested in taking me home. You don't have to worry. I didn't do anything." Bella touched Justin's cheek gently. He knew his girlfriend was jealous.
"Look, Justin. I'll be ready to do it. Notnot now. But soon, remember that." Bella said before moving on. He took a moment to kiss Justin on the cheek. The girl immediately left in a taxi.
Bella came to her house first. He opened the door and found his residence very quiet. Bella felt something was strange. David usually sits in the living room. Especially in the morning.
"Dad? Where're you?" Bella checked the whole room. His feelings began to panic. How hard he looked, he found no David anywhere. Even in the back yard.
"David!" Bella called her father's name dozens of times. But there was only the sound of the barking of the neighbor's dog.
Bella's eyes began to tear. He decided to look for David in the area around the house. Bella is afraid David forgot his way home, or accidentally got into an accident and passed out. Because last time, David once walked alone and forgot his own home.
"David!" peeking Bella while taking her steps. The commotion he made made made one of his neighbors say hello.
"What's up, Bella? Something happened to your father?" ask Mauren. A few blocks from Bella's house.
"I can't find David anywhere!" said Bella.
"really? Gosh darn. Then I'll help you find. If he can't be found yet, we'll report him to the police." Mauren intervened to help. He also did not forget to take other neighbors with him.
David's search was carried out by Bella and the neighbors. Although Bella's neighbors are often upset with David, their level of concern is quite high.
While he was driving around, Bella's phone rang. Cecil just told me that Victoria was waiting for therapy.
"I'm sorry, Cecil. But I can't leave now. David disappeared and he hasn't been found anywhere. Please convey my apology to Victoria, I'm sorry to have made her therapy schedule always interrupted" Bella said in a state of suffocation.
"really? I'm sorry, Bella. I hope David is found soon. You take it easy, Victoria will understand. Brian and I will join forces to help" Cecil replied from across the phone.
"Thank you, Cecil." Bella hung up on the phone call. Then continue the search.
Brian who happens to follow, advises Bella to take a break. But Bella refused, because she did not want to buy time. Brian could do nothing. The man immediately sat down beside Cecil. The two were in front of the house of one of Bella's neighbors. Right under the shady tree.
"Did Bella report to the police?" ask Brian.
"Already, but the police can't help if David's disappearance hasn't been more than 24 hours." Cecil told while folding his hands on his chest.
"That's outrageous!" comment Brian.
"The way the police work has been so for a long time," responded Cecil. He soon moves on to help Bella get back.

Ben is in the company. He happened to have to overtime for the official launch of the latest food product. Ben had to sort out proposals submitted by stores, minimarkets, and supermarkets throughout America.
The door slowly opened. Justin appears in front of Ben. Justin is Ben's favorite employee. That's because Justin is known to be very competent and able to perform tasks well.
Because of Ben's kindness towards Justin, some employees think Ben secretly harbored feelings for Justin. Only Justin gets special treatment from Ben. Other employees are not.
"Hello, Mr. Mayer. I'm not interrupting, am I?" greet Justin friendly.
"Of course not. You just got back from London?" Ben got up from the chair. Then I invited Justin to sit on the couch.
"Truly, I just got home. I came here because there's something to be done immediately." Justin told me about his intentions.
"I heard your meeting with London investors went well. Good job, Justin. I wonder why you never fail at your job" Ben said sincerely.
"Thank you, Ben. I wouldn't be able to do it without your support" Justin replied. He and Ben immediately resume chats related to the latest food launch. They talked for quite a while. Spent about three hours.
Ben and Justin not only discuss marketing, but also plans to create ads that will be done in the near future. Unexpectedly, Oliver suddenly opened the door. He looked panicked.
"What's up, Oliver?!" ben is disturbed.
"That! Outside there are groups of motorcycle gangs who troublemaker. They said they wanted to find a guy named Lucky. Though we have said many times that there is not a single employee named Lucky. but.." Oliver's speech was cut off when Ben meringus just passed him.
Ben rushes to a motorcycle gang that he thinks are members of The Dark Place. How shocked he was to see the company lobby falling apart. Looks like one of the members of The Dark Place went berserk. Even the company's security was outnumbered by Lucky's colleagues.
"Let me, please" said Ben. Intercepting the security chief of the company who almost used his gun.
"Lucky! Where the hell have you been? We're looking for you everywhere. It's you..." Sean didn't know what to say. Watching Ben's neat appearance in a suit made him feel strange.
"What happened to you?" sean was astonished.
Ben put on a firm face. Then pulled Sean closer. He whispered, "I'm not Lucky. But twin. Lucky and I have been separated for a long time. So, don't ever show up in front of me again!"
Sean's dumbfounded. He immediately stared pushyly at the rest of his gang. They communicate with their eyes. Afterwards, Sean secretly took something out of his pants pocket. It was a scissor. One of the things that can trigger the appearance of Lucky.
