When Ferne received Jaquan's call, he gathered a group of people to look for Stony at noon. They searched for an entire afternoon but found nothing. Everyone was in a low mood and held their packed lunches. Then, Ferne's phone rang again.
It wasn't Jaquan. It was Randy.
It was not good news, but news about Lord Top being kidnapped.
Ferne rubbed his temples and was a little confused. He was thinking about who would kidnap Stony and who would Lord Top. But his thinking was muddled. Then, Ferne stood straight abruptly.
The others stared at him in surprise. Ferne quickly dialed Noah, "Lord Top disappeared. Do you remember the Forest Hot Spring...?"
Noah knew what he was going to say, "You mean Nikhil."
"Yes, maybe he did it." Ferne finally cleared up his thoughts and spoke logically, "Help me look into Nikhil. I'll look into Branden."
