After a long day of Turf War and meeting new people, Kai began to walked home. Normally, he would walk home with Sol, but he was nowhere in sight. According to him, he got a call and had to leave early so Kai was left with with Star and Niki.
Once both Star and Niki left for their apartments, Kai was left completely alone. The sun set on the horizon and the sky turned to its midnight shade of blue. He could hardly see anything but the lights from Inkopolis behind him.
Hmmm, I wonder If Sol is available to text. Kai thought pulling out his phone to try and text him.
"Hey, how are you doing? I'm on my way home! Today was really fun! Star helped me make up a rap and I was thinking you could do the beat, since you're really good at that! I can't wait to see you tomorrow oh and also Niki and Star are letting us play a few more rounds with them tomorrow! So I can't wait to see you!"
Kai hit send, and then ran the rest of the way home. Kai let the breeze glaze his sides as he ran. His lips slowly became chapped from the wind that blew in his face. His tentacle also slapped him as the momentum swished it up and down.
Kai has forgotten about the message he sent Sol. He was too caught up in the nature around him. It had always caught his eye ever since he arrived at the surface.
After a while he arrived home. Kai opened the door to his apartment, and sat on the couch. He soon remembered he sent the text to Sol earlier. Kai opened the message app to see if Sol texted him back.
Kai looked desperately at his phone looking to see if there was a response, but sadly there was none.
"He's probably sleeping." Kai murmured, trying to push away any worrying thoughts.
After a while Kai decided that he should go to bed and not worry. Nothing could've happened, right?Kai went into his room and crawled into his bed, exhausted.
He'll most likely come tomorrow morning to wake me up. Kai then later down in his bed and let sleep take him away. Soon enough, the night passed and it was the middle of a new day.
"Yawn! I wonder what time it is?" Kai squinted at his clock. "WHAT! It's 12:50!?" Kai rushed out of bed to get dressed and prepare for the day.
"Where the carp is Sol!?!"
He quickly grabbed his Clear Dapple Dualies and rushed out the door.
I'm going to be so late! He thought.
Kai ran as fast as he possibly could towards Inkopolis Square. While he was running, he overheard many Squids and Octolings talking. The only words he could hear were "Agent 3" and "Gone". Kai was very confused, but he shrugged it off. Before he reached the Lobby, he was approached by a squid.
"Hello, there sir!"
"Uh yes?" Kai stood there, confused.
"We were wondering if you have seen a squid with purple tentacles and light lavender eyes? He was last seen wearing a green backwards hat and a gray hoodie. He also wore gray lace-up shoes with green laces. Do you remember seeing him?"
"Why do you need to know?"
"You haven't heard?" This inkling squinted back at him.
"No, what's wrong?"
"Well you see, Agent 3 is missing."
