Upon reaching Houston, Emina started to search in every corner of city, just as she did in other cities for the whole day, until she asked an old man who was passing through the streets about the girl who had disappeared a while ago. The man happened to know her and assured that the girl could not have ran away with a man.

"Do you know that girl in the picture, sir?" asked Emina "I do not know if you knew that she had disappeared many days ago."

"I do, miss officer," he replied "this girl is the granddaughter of a golf friend of mine, we play alot of golf from while to while and sometimes he brings his granddaughter with him. I believe that this lady could not have ran away with a guy, she is a mature one that always finds out a solution and tell her grandfather about her problems in order to solve them together. I do remember talking to her grandfather about a guy she loved but her parents rejected their marriage, so she asked him to convince her father, who is his son, to approve their marriage, I remember asking me a few questions about tje situation and how to treat her parents but the you can know the rest of the story from her grandfather personally, because I did not dig alot in the family's matters. But I am sure that she did not escape her parent's house since she is morale girl!"

"I am curious of what her grandfather might provide us with, so how can I get in contact with him? When can I meet him?"

"My friend lives in this city, however, he is currently on a trip outside, and I do not know when will he return.."

"I want his contact number if you please."

"It is my duty to serve the law, so mark down.."

Emina had caught a glimpse of hope in that city, although she wanted to meet up with that grandfather in person, however, she had to talk to him on her laptop to save time and find the truth as quick as possible.

At noon, Emina and her group went to the FBI agency in Houston, to the person whom she mentioned that she had known. She had confidently entered the building, where many people and agents were staring at her and mentioning that she was the propheted Emina, the genius one and most favorable detective. All eyes were mesmerized on her angelic beauty and her young age for being a detective, she suppressed many agents who had worked before her even for twenty years, so her reputation created an audience and a fandom of hers that wait only to see her passing.

"Is this the genius Emina?" asked agent 1

"Yes, she surely is, you can know her from her barbie looks and her smoky aura!" stated agent 2

"Oh my gosh, just let me take a selfie with you‼" insisted agent 3

"Isn't she younger than me? How come she has this fame?" wondered agent 4

"They say she did not solve a single case by herself!" mocked agent 5

"What do you mean? She is a genius!" assured agent 6

"Idiot, no. I have heard that someone solves all of the cases she faces and then she takes the credits." Claimed agent 7

"I do not think so, this girl is an exceptional." Stated agent 8

"Then, how do you interpret a 16 years old teenager solving one of the weirdest cases the FBI has ever faced!?" questioned agent 9

"It's totally intelligence!" answered agent 10

All of the agents started gossiping the very moment she entered, many voices fussed together like a traffic jam, all their voices were annoying as if the agency was a hive of bees. A team was on Emina's side defending her and the other team was against her calling her a lier and a hypocrite, in addition to accusing her of being a mage, stealing detectives' crefits, cooperating with the criminals and lying. Emina's young age and high reputation created many enemies and haters for her, and many of them tried to hurt and even kill her witg no mercy, however all of their actions were no threat for her.

On the door of an office in the western side of the building, a young gentleman wearing a classy black suit waited them and welcomed her wholeheartedly. His snowy white skin glowed and gleamed as if it was carved by frozen flakes with a long collar-length sooty coaly hair tied backwards bordering and lining his button nose and half-dome cheekbones that sat above an oaken jaw with a pair of soft Irish eyes crowning his face that twinkled like a galaxy. His wrestler's shoulders were part of his burly physique which anyone could know with only a look that he was an athlete, and he stood at the door with a lion like tread, as if he was the boss there. Whereas, his juicy aroma was appealing that could make any women's heart skip many beats. Although, he was not a male model nor any fairytales prince but he should have been for he was adored by the gentle cute sex.

"Welcome welcome, my old friend!" he called Emina with his spicy voice "Long time no see, Emina."

"I asked you not to call me by my first name anymore, captain Christen." Coldly replied Emina who was not showing any interest in him

"How cold of you, miss Williams. We can at least be best buddies, joke together, drink from time to time or play golf! However, you only come to me when you need help.. So sad.. So cruel.."

"I have no time for your games, captain Christen, so please let us finish our job."

"Ahhh, I love your cold attitude, it strikes through me. At least do not call me captain, we know each other for a long time."

"At 8:52 am on 19 August, we received a report of disappearance of a young man, at 4:05 pm on 21 August, another report of disappearance of a high-school girl, at 11:30 am on 25 August, a new report of disappearance of a little child, at 10:22 pm on 2 September, another odd report of disappearance of a male adult and finally on 15 September, two different reports of disappearance of two different people in the same area with different times were received. Do you have any idea?"

"Changing the subject, huh?... You are telling me that in one month about six people has disappeared into nowhere without being able to contact them nor hear any word from them?"

"Precisely."

"Do I have any idea? What do you think yourself?"

"I think it is being done by the same criminal.."

"I suggest it has nothing with series of crimes!" joined Flora "Maybe separate disappearances, since the victims have nothing in common nor any knowledge to each other, in addition to having their reasons to disappear from this world! Also, all of the victims were in different spots and times of the crime, which means that they probably disappeared on their own or another probability that there are different criminals."

"That's logical, detective Nelson!" replied captain Christen Thomas "I expect nothing less from you. What about you, young detective?"

"The criminal is one.." she murmured

"How.." he mocked

"Because.."
