Since three hours ago, Max had contacted Chleo to ask her out. But the girl didn't answer the call, which made Max think she was busy with her studies.
Max tried to call Chleo for the next half hour, and again she didn't pick up. Max contacted her again and again until negative thoughts invaded his mind.
He was sure that no matter how busy Chleo was, she would text him or call him back.
But no reply or news from the girl made him think someone had kidnapped her.
However, he was sure that the party planning to harm Chleo was not Vectis or another mystical creature. Because right now, the Vectis portal door has been locked by Aslan so that for decades to come, there would be no Vectis roaming this human world.
In the end, Max ordered Falcon to help him find Chleo.
