Upon arriving at Hyde Park, Jacob parked his car. The man ran through the park to look for Licia. When his younger brother's figure was within eye range, Jacob halted his steps.
"How did it happen? Why did they disappear?" ask anyone who is there. I hope one of them can explain.
"I-I really don't know, brother." Licia looked confused, the girl's face looked pale.
"Let me explain it to her." Freya moved forward, she couldn't bear to see such a shocked Licia. Not only Licia, they all really felt shocked and hard to believe. "It happened like this...." And the girl starts to tell what happened, from them taking pictures together to a few moments later Licia who first realized if Helena disappeared. Shortly after, Elie disappeared.
"We really don't know where Helen and Elie's sister went. Since we were near them, but they were gone somewhere," said Freya sighing heavily as she ended her sentence.
Jacob scooped his face after listening to Freya's story. If concluded, it would be impossible for Helena and Elie to just disappear.
"We'd better ask the officer." Jacob proposes, he is about to step up but Freya first restrains his arm.
Realizing what he was doing, Freya let go of Jacob's arm. "Licia and I talked to the park staff. And right now they're helping search around Hyde's garden."
Hearing Freya's words made Jacob undo his intentions. "I've called the others, we'll try to find them."
Freya and the others nodded. Soon, several sports cars and several black Jeeps filled the park. A group of men dressed in all black were seen gathering, which was none other than the Black Lion.
"Are you really looking around the park, Jac?" asked Elden, representing the questions of the other friends. As he and the others are given word by Jacob, they soon glide. They were very panicked and worried about the situation of their two cousins.
"Already, but there is no clue whatsoever" Jacob said lethargicly.
"Then give it all up to search!" Elden shouted impatiently. Helena and Elie are her cousin's older siblings, her job is to replace Arthur to look after them while not in place.
Then they immediately mobilized all the men who were there to split up. Quickly the men searched the entire area of Hyde Park. Previously the park was already secured, so there were no visitors other than them.
Devano was there trying to calm his sister, Freya. "They're both gonna be found." He rubbed Freya's back, to channel calmness to his sister. "I'll try to call Aunt Elle, maybe they'll go home first."
Freya just nodded and noticed her brother trying to contact Aunt Elleana. "How's it?" tanyanya. "Are Helen's sister and Elie's sister there?"
Devano shook his head in response and it made Freya's entire body weaken. "How's this? I should have been able to look after Brother Elie and Sister Helen. But I'm too careless."
"You're not wrong. There's nothing wrong here. There must be something wrong." Devano tried to calm down. Actually, he was very anxious, because in addition to the disappearance of Elie and Helena, he thought of Arthur and Austin who could not be contacted.
Two men who had just come in a black rover ranger car immediately descended, then approached. They are Dante and Tiago, two of Darren's confidants. The news of Helena and Elie's disappearance has reached their ears and can be ascertained if Darren has heard the news.
"You guys really searched the whole Hyde Park?" ask Dante to make sure. He wants everyone there to look until they meet, even if it is necessary Serpentine Lake must also be explored.
"They're splitting up. How then? Where did the men you assigned go?!" Elden rebuked, because some of the men deployed by Dante and Tiago. As long as Darren's not in place, it's the two men who are in control.
"They were not found. There is a possibility they were given poisonous gas. Me and Dante just found a few bottles of poison gas not far from the park." Tiago answered first. Before going to the park area, they both look for traces of the disappearance of some of the men assigned to guard.
"What the fuck!! Why can we miss something like this!" Liam exclaimed furiously, punching the air to vent his anger.
"How about Der? If you've learned of the disappearance of Brother Elie and Sister Helen, shouldn't you have reported to her?" Gavin asked to make sure. It does not rule out the possibility if Darren already knows what happened. But he had not seen Darren's whereabouts.
Dante and Tiago cast a glance at each other. Both seem reluctant to answer. Elden, Gavin, and Liam were aware of it.
"What's wrong? Is there something we don't know, heh?!" liam shouted suspiciously, because both are compact to silence.
"Tiago.... Dante.... Tell me, what happened? Romanov Group is fine, isn't it?" Elden urged the two to open their voices immediately.
"The company is fine. You don't have to worry" said Dante trying to calm down.
"Then, what are you hiding from us, heh?!" gavin spray. Apparently he was not satisfied enough to hear Dante's answer.
"A few hours ago Boss Der and Mr. Mike left London for Dubai."
"Dubai?" Both Elden's eyebrows frowned upon hearing Tiago's words. "What are they there for?"
Tiago did not immediately answer and instead glanced at Dante. "Let them know what's going on."
Because Dante had already said so, so Tiago nodded and was about to open his voice again. "Bos Ar and Young Master As had an accident in Dubai, the car they were riding rolled over and since morning blind some of the men had been deployed first."
"WHAT?!!" They were really surprised to hear it. The accident? Austin and Arthur had an accident in Dubai?
"Until now, Tiago and I haven't heard from you yet."
The atmosphere became silent in an instant. The events that were happening right now had completely shaken them. How not, Arthur got into an accident and his wife disappeared. Austin was also involved in the same accident. Mike then travels to Dubai without knowing that his wife is missing.
***
For over an hour down the park area, there was not a single piece of good news they got. Neither Helena nor Elie were found anywhere. And the girls are already secured in a safe place. Regarding Elie and Helena's disappearance, they agree not to tell Uncle Xavier until they find a clue first.
"Check the CCTV around the park. There must be a clue!" exclaimed Elden gave the order that was immediately executed by all the men.
Jacob and Red Dragon helped. They searched around the highway area. Fifteen minutes later, Jacob and Albern return with a frightened old woman. While searching the roadside area, the old woman stalked herself and Albern, so Jacob led the middle-aged woman into the garden.
"Say, why are you following us?!" jacob asked to press the old woman before him.
"I-i...." The old woman looked nervous and was tucked into panic at the look on her face. "I-I'm sorry, I really don't know who else to talk to."
"I don't understand what you're talking about, old aunt, you better talk more clearly!" Jacob's patience was indeed thin, so the man was so impatient with the old woman.
And sure enough, because Jacob's clasping made the old woman walk backward full of vigilance at some of the men around her.
"I-I'm not a bad guy. I-I don't know anything."
Jacob increasingly did not understand what the old woman was saying, thus making him sigh violently. "You better just go. If not -"
"Wait for Jac, let him talk. It seems like he's afraid to deliver." Albern prevents Jacob from expelling the old woman. "Let me speak to him" he continued, then stepped closer to the old woman.
"What does Aunt want to talk about?" Unlike the previous Jacob, Albern asked so gently.
The woman looked at the face of the young man before her. His face showed a little calmness. "Hm, I.. I'm afraid to say it, w-what if they shoot me?" In just an instant the old woman's body shook violently, even hugging her own body.
Albern tried to understand the old woman's fear. "Who's Aunt's name? And where's Aunt's house? Is Aunt lost?" He tried not to push it.
"Betty. My name is Betty." The old woman named Betty looked at Albern's face, as if she was wondering whether Albern was a bunch of bad guys or not. Given the moment they surrounded him.
Realizing that Aunt Betty did not believe him, Albern touched both of her shoulders. "Auntives need not be afraid, they are my people. We're here because we're looking for our missing family in this park. Not only Auntie, but everything around here we're questioning."
Aunt Betty's vigilance decreased with a nod of her head. "Who is your family missing? Is she a pregnant woman?"
Albern was stunned to hear it. Jacob was similar, he wanted to approach Aunt Betty because she was so impatient. However, Albern tries to interrupt Jacob to stay put. Jacob snorted in annoyance, but obeyed Albern. Albern and Jacob's attitude is similar to Roy's holding Zayn back if Zayn always puts emotions ahead.
"How can you tell if our missing family is a pregnant woman? Did Auntie see it?" the question returned gently.
Aunt Betty nodded. "I'm a dairy vendor not far from the park. I happen to be looking for my son who used to skateboard in this park. B-but suddenly I accidentally saw a man who was holding a woman who was heavily pregnant, then put her in the car. I thought the man was her husband, but when I heard their talk, I found out they were kidnapping the woman."
Albern and Jacob looked at each other. If Aunt Betty was a witness if Helena was put in a car, it can be concluded if Helena was abducted by someone.
"Did Aunt see the other woman who was also put in the car?" And Albern went back to sniffing out information from Aunt Betty. He doesn't expect Elie to be the victim of a kidnapping like Helena.
Aunt Betty shook her head violently. "I-I don't know. I left right then and there. Because I'm afraid they'll kill me if they catch me, let alone hide the weapons behind their clothes."
Albern tried to understand and was no longer urgent. "Then accept still for Aunt Betty's testimony. I'll assign my men to keep Aunt safe."
"Te-thank you. Thank you very much." Aunt Betty cupped her hands together in her gratitude. "Hopefully you can find the whereabouts of the woman. I'm so sorry if it happened to him and to the baby he's carrying."
Back Albern nodded. "I also wish it was like that Auntie." And after that, Albern actually assigned some men to guard and escort Aunt Betty to her dairy shop.
"Wait a minute, let's tell El. I'm sure Lim found CCTV footage around here." Jacob, who had been impatient to pull on Albern's shoulder, forced Albern to drag his step.
From Aunt Betty's testimony and CCTV footage, they hope to discover the whereabouts of Helena and Elie, before Uncle Xavier learns that his daughter-in-law and daughter are missing.
