Mira walked towards the roller coaster mindlessly completely unaware that someone was trailing behind her. The man was wearing all-black clothes which looked like a uniform with a shade covering half of his face.
He promptly brought out his phone and dialed a number before placing it on his ear and said in a respective voice " Boss.. miss is now heading to the roller coaster " and the person at the other end said something to him then he replied " okay.. boss " before hanging up.

Clara and Jack arrived at the ice cream stand and they summoned the vendor's attention who was busy with some customers.
When the young man in his twenties turned around, he noticed the cute little twins the man was holding and the water flasks the pretty youthful lady held in her hands and thought that they were family. He flashed them a cheerful smile and said considerately " Ma'am what cute babies you have.. Today is your lucky day, there's a family discount going on and a free cup of ice cream ".
The twins giggled when they heard the man called her their mother, They were obviously pleased.
Clara instantly shook her head with a friendly smile and was about to say " no we're actually not a family " when Jack beat her to it and quickly said " Thank you " with a wide smile obviously looking happy while bringing out his wallet from his pants pocket.
Clara was astounded and wondered why he didn't deny it but she quickly dispelled the thought and guessed that he was probably happy because of the discount.
The ice cream vendor asked them what type of flavors would they like and she replied " Strawberry for me and Vanilla for the twins please .." while Jack answered " Vanilla".
Clara quickly turned back to ask Mira her preference who she thought had been quiet all along then found out that she wasn't there. She was instantly baffled and turned to Jack who was about to put down the twins on a nearby bench.
" Jack have you seen Mira...??? " she asked while looking around with an uneasy expression.
Jack looked up and also found out that Mira was not with them. He placed the kids on the bench then stood up properly and looked around with a puzzled look and muttered " But She was with us moments ago.. ".
Clara was looking apprehensive, she quickly looked around the enormous place filled with so many people and found no trace of Mir, and she quickly took out her phone and dialed her number which she found out that it was switched off.
Seeing her apprehensive look, Jack was bothered and he squatted down in front of the twins who were already eating their ice cream and asked softly " Babies.. Have you seen auntie Mira???".
The twins shook their heads and replied simultaneously in their cute voices. " No uncle Jack ".
Jack stood up immediately and looked at Clara who was vigorously looking around for any sign of Mira " Did she answer the phone..??? " he asked worriedly and Clara shook her head anxiously. " No. her phone is switched off.. " she replied upset.
" Jack I think we should look for her. " Clara added hurriedly and called the attention of the Ice Cream vendor who was now preparing the strawberry flavored ice cream for her " Sir please can we trouble you to look after the twins for a moment..? My friend is missing and we need to find her," she asked cautiously with a helpless look on her face.
" Sure... no problem " the ice cream vendor replied with a friendly smile.
Clara instantly smiled back at him gratefully and said " Thank you " before squatting down in front of the twins " Babies.. wait for me here.. I'm going to find auntie Mira., don't run off okay? " she said to them slowly.
The twins nodded their heads and replied " okay auntie " obediently then continued eating their ice creams.
Clara smiled lightly and said " good girls.. I'll be right back " then she kissed them on the cheeks before standing up and turning to Jack " You check that said... I'll check back there," she said hurriedly pointing to different directions before she quickly put down the water flasks beside the twins and ran off to a random direction, then Jack also took another direction hastily to look for Mira.

Carl and his two siblings arrived at the amusement park and he put on his sunglasses shielding half his face.
They bought tickets and entered inside when Lucy suddenly grabbed Carl's hands and said hastily while jumping " Big bro..Big bro.. Look look there's a carousel over there .. quick let's go.. I want to ride horses " and she ran towards it excitedly like a five-year-old and Carl followed her and sat silently on a bench monitoring the enthusiastic girl who was already on one of the horses.
Zach who was behind them abruptly took out his phone which was ringing and received it before saying " okay " " make sure you don't lose her " and he quickly left the place and went in another direction without anyone noticing.
Some minutes later, Carl brought out his phone and was about to look at it, he subconsciously looked ahead and a familiar figure suddenly ran past him..... He was shocked for a second before he abruptly stood up and then pressed a small Bluetooth headset which was placed in his left ear and said " watch her " before striding in the direction of that familiar figure.
Clara had been looking for Mira for quite some time and she was famished, she walked dejectedly and slouched down on a bench which she spotted behind a dunk tank. She sighed heavily wondering where her friend would be, and looked around and noticed that there were no many people there. She brought out her phone from her bag and dialed Mira's number again which didn't go through.
She sighed again heavily and hoped that nothing bad had happened to her friend because she heard that bad person always wandered in crowded places like this.
She was still deeply in her thoughts when she sensed some footsteps stopped in front of her and she instinctively looked up and saw four wild-looking men staring at her with malicious grins.
She gasped and instantly felt apprehensive then stood up immediately to leave the place.
