Samuel turned his back on her and left the gate, however she grasped on his arm and stopped him from going further. He rolled his head and stared at her with his cold steely eyes, her face had changed in that moment. Her face became darker as she was glaring at him, beads of sweat rolled down her temples as she concentrated, and her eyes earnestly gazed upon his as she looked him dead in the eye.
"What do you want," he asked
"Take me with you!" she replied
"Are you serious? Or just lost your mind?"
Her temper and voice were both rising as tension grew in her eyes. She had never felt so certain of anything else in her life.
"I am!" she ensured "I know where he goes to the most. I want to find my dearest friend, so I will help you. Also… You are tired…"
Samuel felt his heart would skip a beat, as if the world could not carry him.
"Are you sure about it?" he sighed "So, what will you do about the baby of yours?"
She stood steadily in front of him and kept glaring at his eyes seriously, as if she was telling him that her tummy and baby would never stop her to save her friend.
"I am sure about it!" she roared "Take me with you. The baby is strong as his mother!"
In his deep thoughts, he was only wondering and imagining how strong she was. He surely had loved her, ever since that day, ever since he realized how strong she was and how weak he became.
"Get in the car." He stated "But you will regret it if you obstruct me."
Both of them went as quick as possible to search for any traces of Rafael as they were calling for him and waiting for any response. At first, she asked Samuel to check in the restaurant the used to dine in, and asked the waiters and gatekeepers whether they had seen him lately, but their response was: "No, he did not come here nor passed by…"
Secondly, she went to the gym they, both, had trained in and attended daily, because he loved to vent all of his anger and relax his mind through exercises and workouts. But he was in nowhere to find.
She continued her search all over the places she knew that he would attend. Her power was fading away, as a pregnant she had to rest, but she continued with the best of her efforts. She checked at the headquarters, she asked police colleagues, she contacted his friends, she went to his favorite places and searched Seoul upside down, but could find nothing about him, as if Earth had divided up and swallowed him inside.
Samuel started to lose his temper as he felt wasting his precious time, from his wife who was nagging at him for being with another girl and from his mother who was worried sick about both of him and his brother.
He wanted to scream loudly but he tried to stay calm as he could. Then, Julia mumbled some words in front of him: "Where could he be? I have searched all the areas I knew he would visit, but found not any clue about him. Is he alright?"
"What do you mean by all places???" he yelled "You did not help me at all, you only wasted my time while I was searching for my disappeared brother, yet you mention that you have no idea where he might be. Then, why did you accompany me to find him?? Did you only try to distract me from finding him?? Now, tell me, where is my brother?? Where might he be?? Where shall we search?? I know nothing about this matter!! Are you a police sergeant for nothing?? Just investigate thoroughly about my brother!!"
"What nonsense are you blabbering about??" she replied "Are you crazy?? Why are you pouring all responsibilities only on me?? You just did so to your brother, so help me out. Don't you know anything about your brother??"
"Are you yelling on me?? You have to know your limits, Julia!"
"Fuck your limits, mister Spear!"
Ring… Ring…
Ring… Ring…
Suddenly, his phone started to ring, it was surely Alena!
He picked up the call as his fury was raging up inside of him, she started nagging and lecturing him for his betrayal.
"Where are you now?" she questioned "Who are you with!!?"
"I am nowhere, you cheap!" he yelled "And with no one!"
"I hear breathing sounds beside you?? Are you with that girl?"
"Why the hell do I have the worst and lowest wives in this universe?"
"Because you are low," commented Julia "mister nauvoriche!"
"You are with that woman!" yelled Alena "I am coming at once, where are you??"
"Still searching for him," he roared "I will inform you when I find him. Bye!"
"The hill!!" yelled Julia "He must be at the hills!"
