Christopher's heart was racing as he frantically tried to reach Abigail on her phone. When he didn't hear back, his worry turned to terror. He couldn't imagine what could have happened to her. His mind raced with worst-case scenarios.
"Why is she not answering my call?" he muttered when his call went unanswered once again. "Is she still working at the office?"
He called Aaron to confirm.
"Hey, Aaron. Is Abi with you?" he asked hurriedly.
"Abigail? No… I have arrived home. She probably left at her regular time. What happened? You sound worried."
"No, no… I am fine… I think… she went to meet her friends. I apologize for disturbing you."
"Don't apologize… Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. I'd love to help you."
"Thanks, Aaron."
Christopher ended the call, his face pulling up. His mind couldn't stop conjuring up all kinds of horrible situations.
