"Let's do one thing. We will go different ways, that is better. Right? "Mon says.
" Okay"they all say in unison.
As usual Sam and Jake went together whereas the others went to a different path.
Sam and Jake search almost every place where he could possibly go. Jake was more tense after all what he heard from him the previous day was still a surprise for him. The members had yet to know about the whole story, but he was not sure if he should tell them because he said everything to him when he was drunk.
"Where should we look next? "Sam says as she checks her phone.
" I don't know… we searched everywhere I guess "
"Let's ask the others"
"Yes, they may have found him"
"It's ringing" Sam starts walking back and forth . She was almost about to stumble on a rock.
"Careful" Jake was quick to grab her hand on time.
She gives him a sheepish smile.
"Hey! Mon what's going on there? We searched here but no. He is not here! "
"Same here. But do you know where Mr. Loy is? " Mon asks.
"Don't tell me he is missing as well?" Sam widens her eyes.
"Who is missing now? "Jake interrupts.
" No, I mean Dayal must be with him? So we tried to contact him but he did not answer as well" Mon says.
"What is happening? Put it on speaker" Jake asked.
"Okay.. Okay. Relax"Sam turns on the speaker.
" Jake did you contact Loy today? We are not able to"
"No, why is he missing now? "Jake says.
"I don't know. That's why I am asking you" Mon says.
"Let me try once, Mon." Sam hangs up the phone and directly calls Loy.
Ring….ring….ring..
"No… he is not answering. " she says as she dials his number again.
"Let's go back to the office then"
"Yep.. That is the only thing we can do now"
After some time they all reached the office and were shocked to see Loy and Dayal in the meeting room. Here they were searching for them the whole evening and these people were chatting.
"Seriously? "Jake crosses his arm.
" What are you two doing here? "Sam raises her eyebrows at Dayal and Loy.
" Nothing "they say in unison.
" We were searching you all around and you are here. Also, what about your phones? Why don't you pick up our calls? "Mon says.
"I don't know where my phone is? Even I am searching. " Dayal clarifies.
This reminds Jake about the previous night. He clearly remembers how Dayal tossed his phone into the fireplace even after repeatedly telling him not to do that. He threw it and then was searching for it in his unconsciousness. Not much later he was so tired that he fell asleep on the armchair itself. Jake tries to hide his smile but Sam catches him.
"What happened to you now? " She hushed.
"Nothing"
She rolls her eyes.
"Okay. And what about you, Mr.
Loy? "Sid asks.
"Me? I just remember my phone was on silent mode. I don't know how but.. "
"What about you all? We followed you to the airport but then you all left. Then suddenly you went back to my house then left again. We called out your names as well, but you'll be acting like deaf" Dayal says making 'black' stare at each other.
They finally understood the whole situation that actually both of them were right in front of them but no one realized.
"Alright.. Understood. Now what? That minister and miss Gill, we missed both of them! " Sid says.
