Rex's disappearance became a known fact in Obedin City just a few minutes after it happened, but it was only known to a few higher-ups and the police department of the city, the news was not circulated.
Though all the leaders of this city already knew the game that was being played, they acted oblivious as they sent the police to go search for Rex.
Only a few close friends of Rex were really affected by his disappearance.
Having been waiting for their friend at the hospital, Ben and Cassandra were one of the first to know of his disappearance as they entered a panic immediately.
They had no idea where Rex would have gone at this point in time and it left them both fidgeting in worry. Having no idea about Rex's current state almost drove them mad as their brains kept on thinking up a lot of horrifying scenarios.
In the end, they could no longer afford to stay still at the hospital, they decided that going out to search for their friend would be better than waiting here.
