"But Dad, I just came from the children's room, and there is no one there. Even their belongings are gone. Have you started loading the things?" Ashley asked in astonishment as she looked around at her father and mother.
"What? No, not yet. Their belongings are still in their room. And one more thing, the van's not even here because Tiny is refueling it and Ruffy's still outside driving. I'm sure he'll be back soon. If their belongings are gone too, they must've gone somewhere, right?"
When everyone hears what Jessie said, they all had the same thing in their mind. Everyone had quickly run to the children's room to check for any clues that might lead them to where the children were.
Except for Tanaka, who went to their mother's room to see if she's there, he was suspicious that his mother had something to do with their disappearance. He prayed that his mother was still asleep and was still in her room, but he was wrong.
