"Ryan, I asked her to bring my business laptop, does that take the whole day to bring?"
Glancing at his watch, "okay why don't you go and check on her? I mean–" shrugging his shoulders, "didn't you say she's at home today? So it's obvious there's something holding her back."
"Yeah, you are right. I'll check on––your phone is ringing." Pointing his chin at the phone on the desk.
"Oh yeah." Picking the call, "Yes Mom?–what?–okay, okay am coming." He said and hung up.
Scrunching his brows, "what is it?"
Walking towards the door, "dude are you still here? My mom just called that, Phoebe is missing."
"Missing?"
"No, kissing." Ryan said and dashed out.
Rolling his eyes, "Ugh, okay fine, am coming." Justin said and left.

4:03pm
Kevin and Elsa's apartment
"Where the hell is my daughter?" Kevin yelled.
Bursting into tears, "I swear, I don't know." Elsa cried.
Scrunching his brows, "what do you mean by you don't know? There were pool of blood in your room and you stand here to tell me you don't know?"
Rushing down the stairs, "dad, dad, I've informed the police about it. They are on their way to investigate." Nelly said.
"I don't want to see the police, I want to see Phoebe." Looking at Elsa, "where is my daughter? I know you are hiding her somewhere, but pretending to shed crocodile tears."
Vigorously nodding her head, "I swear, am not hiding our daughter."
Raising his eyebrows, "when did she became your daughter? Please tell me, is it overnight? Or by day?" Kevin inquired.
"Mom tell dad, you hit her with the stool." Nelly said.
Widening his eyes, "what? Elsa you did what? Did you hit Phoebe with a stool?" When she did not answer but cried harder, he yelled. "Answer the damn question!"
"Yes but it was a mistake, I didn't mean to do it intentionally." Elsa cried.
Brushing his hands on his face, Kevin helplessly sat on the couch. With his face buried down. He was short of words at the moment he heard what Elsa did. How could she be so heartless, ruthless and wicked towards an innocent girl? If she was having a problem with Phoebe staying here, she would have say it to him directly. But she went to far by hitting her with a wooden stool.
