Ever since she was a young girl, she was a devotee of inspectors, detectives and policemen which resulted to making her more curious of that major, reading books, stories, news and cases, solving high IQ riddles and visiting the crime scene. Emina was an exceptional girl on both physically and mentally traits as she was a breath-taking beauty, she had an adorable face that any human might think it was a pearl, and a couple of fruity cheeks that looked pinkish like cotton candies with silky golden locks framing her sweet childlike face, a pair of sapphire eyes dipped in creamy pools and lips that looked like cherries. Therefore, she was adored and admired by many people around her for her special self.

At the age of 16, the genius Emina had solved a crime that was as impossible as the one she was solving back then, when most if the detectives could not even reach out for the truth. At the age of 19, she was demanded by the FBI to join their forces together, then, she became a great detective that could solve any odd case, solved over 100 crime, caught many perpetuator, and served the US wholeheartedly. However, at the age of 26, she had faced the most dangerous and hard case to ever face.

On 19 September, two days had passed after the investigations, Emina had to visit with her team the neighboring cities and investigate them thoroughly. They asked for more than five thousands of police men with a one thousand police dogs that were trained intensively in order to catch the glimpse of any given odor and many radar screens that could locate the victims' cell phones or contact numbers.

Emina started her further investigation in Memphis, where many policemen surrounded it daily at day and night, since it is not a very safe city, especially when it was a tourism season. First of all, she searched in new buildings, garbage dumps, abandoned mansions, Shelby forest and other random places, but the results were fruitless even with the large number of officers and dogs. However, she did not give up as she felt that she might get a simple clue anywhere that might lead her to the obvious truth, so she asked all of the citizens in the street and stores, showing them the pictures of the disappeared and questioning whether they met them anywhere in the past days or saw them with someone around. But, her several questionnaires were in vain since they did not result in a hopeful results.

The next day, on 20 September, to Chicago, the Windy City and the third-largest city in the United States, which was famous for its basketball team, deep pizza's and buzzing nightlife was also known for its crime rate and was the one-time stomping ground of Al Capone. Petty crime is one issue, but some of the city's residential areas are hotspots for gang-related crime which has led to some alarming statistics. So, Emina also expected to find some odd crimes around that large city and any clue leading to the real criminal. She just did as before in Memphis and searched for traces of the bodies asking people around and showing the disappeared photos, until she reached for the same hopeless results as Memphis's, when her teammates started to feel awkward..

Another round for Evansville on 21 September, a city with a crime rate of 48 per one thousand residents, which had one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes – from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. And then to Springfield, Peoria, Louisville and even Dallas, until all of her colleagues felt annoyed and upset about her and the investigation, where they were pretty sure that these were a random difference occurrences with different methods and reasons.

"Williams, please give up, we all know that you are a genius but you might make mistakes!" stated Joseph "Please, tolerate your mistake and let us return to our home city, we have already lost a lot of time!"

"Senior Williams, I suggest to continue our investigations in St. Louis," assured Johan "and label them as logical disappearance like running away with a man and traveling!"

"You are convincing me that six people had disappeared in the one month just as idiot excuses?" replied Emina "Had they all decided to disappear together at once and never contact this world again?!"

"Emina, stop being selfish and think wisely, do you think if it happened for you to solve some cases by chance means you know everything and your always a righteous?" yelled Flora "Just let us finish our investigation as we find it the best and stop forcing your naïve suggestions on us!"

"What do you mean by solving by chance, Flora? Have all of my cases been solved on their own? Who solved them? An angel of investigation? Don't you even remember that you have never solved a single case on your own? I am the leader here! I take you all wherever I want and investigate wherever I find it essential, you have to obey my commands no matter what they are! So please, know your limits and let me focus!"

"Yes! Focus on your useless thoughts and force us to lose time in far cities so that the criminal might escape St. Louis! Let us see what your thoughts may result with!"

"Oh please, ladies!" interrupted Johan "Nelson, senior Williams, please calm down, this is a no time for fighting!"

"I believe in your choices, miss Emina, you will surely find a fruitful result." Commented Mehmet "I will follow you wherever you go!"

"Thank you, Mehmet." Thanked Emina who was depressed and disappointed. "Let us head to Houston, I know some people who might be able to help us there.."

Finally, on 22 September, Emina decided to go to Houston as the last resort, hoping she might touch the thread of the solution in there. So, she started her search from the brick of the dawn with thorough attention to the situation in the city and to people's statements, knowing that one of the disappeared had a link with someone in Houston. As a result, she increased her caution and work..
