On the other hand, at this moment, Ashley and Rita had already arrived at the Lodge. The two booked a room and cleaned up before going to the police station.
Half an hour later. Both of them had finished their bath and lunch. Ashley and Rita decide to take a taxi to get to the police station.
"Excuse me," called Ashley while flicking her fingers into the air. Trying to resuscitate the Sheriff who is now busy typing a report on the keyboard.
The thick-moustached sheriff was looking up. "Yes, can I help you?" ask without stopping the finger movement.
Ashley took a deep breath. "Sir, I want to report my missing child," he said, taking a quick glance at Rita.
The sheriff looked at Ashley and Rita's performance and asked, "Where are you from?"
"We're from Mississisipi, sir."
Ashley's reply made the thick-moustached old man take a deep breath.
"Actually, I'm not the one taking care of the missing child, my friend is on vacation, but since I'm being kind, I'll help you, now sit down first. I'll be back for a minute."
The sheriff invited Ashley and Rita to sit in the corner of the room.
Ashley looks agitated. Still thinking about Kenny and Kevin who don't know where right now. And hope both children are in good condition and can be found soon.
Rita stroked Ashley's back. "Ashley, be patient I'm sure the twins are fine, you remind them very smart and resourceful children."
"Hm, yes I know, Rita, but still, they are very small, how about people harm them?" Ashley let out a heavy sigh while pinning her hair upwards.
Rita was stunned for a moment. There's a point Ashley said, but she's sure the twins are fine.
"Come here!" tell the sheriff to bring a laptop now.
Ashley and Rita stood up and walked over to the Sheriff sitting at the table.
"Explain what your child's name is, his age, eye color and the last clothes they wore? And why did they get lost?"
The sheriff immediately typed Kenny and Kevin's names according to Ashley's words and did not forget he described the color of the clothes and hats and bags they wear and carry.
"When did you last meet Kenny and Kevin?" ask the sheriff again without taking a look from the laptop screen.
"Hmm, three days ago, sir, I was drunk that night." Rita added the caption because she was the last one to meet the twins.
"Oh My God, it's been a long time, why don't you just report, isn't there a plane in Mississippi?" asked the sheriff a little upset. Not what the level of human traffic in LA is very high. Both boys were kidnapped, killed, or sold their internal organs.
"We have no money, sir. After all, the cost of a plane from Mississippi to LA is very expensive, sir," Ashley said with a sad look.
The sheriff breathed deeply. "Alright, I'll put up a missing person search on the television station, leave a phone number that can be contacted and pray that your child can be found immediately" he said, typing again. "Oh yeah, do you guys have a picture of him?"
Ashley nodded. As fast as lightning took out a piece of photo. Then give it to the Sheriff. And do not forget to also note the phone number on the paper.

After completing the report of a missing child, Ashley walks lethargic out of the police station. The feeling is very upset now.
"Ashley, you don't have to be sad, we better find the twins too! How's it?" Rita gave me advice. He was also sad to see Ashley completely lifeless now.
Ashley looked. "Rita, even if we're looking, where do we start? This is Rita's big city!" he held back in annoyance. Because LA is so big.
Rita cengennesan's. "Hehe, at least we're trying on Ashley, come on, we better find a place to eat first, I'm hungry, Ashley, I'm sure the twins are fine!" he convinced Ashley.
Ashley could only nod.
Currently, the two are in one of the middle-class restaurants serving fast food. Rita ate the burger ravenously.
While Ashley daydreamed while looking at the burger on the table. He had no appetite to eat at all, thinking about whether Kenny and Kevin had eaten what yet?
"Ashley, come on, you have to eat, remember you have to have energy, don't let you get sick later, Kenny and Kevin must be sad that Mommy's sick," rita said instantly with her mouth still full of food.
Ashley was about to open her lips but the ringing of the phone in the bag, distracting her. He picked up and raised the call.
"What's? I didn't hear wrong, did I? Where are they now?"
"Okay, thank you, I'll be there soon, thanks again Sheriff!"
Ashley was so happy to hear that Kenny and Kevin had been found and are now somewhere.
"What's up, Ashley?" rita asked curiously when she saw Ashley's facial expression change drastically.
Rita smiled broadly.
'Come on, now we're going to Lean.Corp!" exclaim Ashley.
Rita shook her head, with a strong frown. "Huh? Lean. The corp? Why ki–"
"Here you go, come on, don't waste too much time!"
Ashley pulled Rita's hand and rushed out of the restaurant. And go to the Lean.Corp company by taxi.

Lean. Corp.
"Ashley, are you sure the twins are here?"
Rita's head wiggled, looking at the fifty-story-tall building before her. At first he stared in awe at the grandeur of the building but gradually a little afraid, when many pairs of eyes looked at him with a contemptible look.
Now Ashley's a little hesitant. Is it true the information the Sheriff gave just now but is worried about the twins. He walked quickly into the building. Leaving Rita in front of the main door, looking to the right and to the left.
"Rita! Come on, let's go upstairs!" sahut Ashley after talking for a moment just now to the security guard.
Rita nodded and walked over to Ashley.
Arriving upstairs. Ashley and Rita are welcome to enter by the secretary into the room.
"Mommy!!!"
Ashley smiled, seeing Kevin running to meet her. He immediately lowered his body and carried Kevin into his arms.
"Mommy misses you so much, son, why did you leave, Mommy," Ashley said.
"I'm sorry, Mommy." Kevin slid his face into Ashley's chest.
Meanwhile, Rita glanced at Kenny sitting in front of the beautiful old woman. And avert his eyes to the man in all white clothes was watching him too.
"Ashley, your name is Ashley Silverstone, right?"
Lily moved and approached Ashley, already breaking her embrace.
Ashley stood up, then flashed a smile. "Yes, ma'am, my name is Ashley Silverstone, thank you for finding my son before" he said sincerely.
Lily looked at Ashley, suddenly clutching her. "I'm sorry my son, Ashley, because of him you've suffered." His voice sounded vibrating. Without notice the clear liquid dripping on both cheeks.
Ashley was shocked and astonished to hear Lily's words. "meaning?"
Lily took off a hug while wiping away the tears. "Wait a minute." Then take a look. "Reza, I'm picking up the twins and you're Ashley's friend, here, I have to have a four-eye talk with Ashley" she told Reza and Rita in turn.
Rita and Reza both nodded.
***
Lily and Ashley are sitting opposite each other in a glass room. Ashley is confused as to why this charming woman is, reminding her of her late Mommy.
"Ashley, I'm actually the Mommy of the man who raped you before." Lily finally opened her voice.
Ashley jerks. The dark shadows of seven years ago made his body tremble. His chest rumbled strongly, recalling the moment of how savagely he was treated by the man who scowled his crown once.
Lily approached Ashley and immediately hugged her. He began to tell the story slowly in Ashley's ear, why and why Kendrick behaved like that, and apologized for all the mistakes his first son made. Lily also said, just learned the secret that Kendrick kept from Maximus.
"I'm sorry for the mistake, my son, Ashley," Lily said without letting go of a hug from Ashley who looked still sobbing strongly.
Ashley didn't comment on Lily's words. Still drifting in his thoughts at this moment.
"Mrs, Mr. K has finished the meeting" said Maximus from behind the door.
Lily turned to the doorway for a moment. "Ashley, you're here first, calm yourself down."

...Fyi, the sheriff is more or less the same as the police. Same with law enforcement. But the sheriff is a constitutional institution directly elected by the public. If in Indonesia like the Mayor or Regent. His job is to provide comfort for the community, etc. ...
