Albert got out of his car and then walked around slowly, stretching his legs.
"Old age is catching up with me…."
He kept looking in the direction that Shelby had disappeared, worry lines coating his face.
"It's been a while since Miss Shelby went out there. She should be back by now."
Albert looked at his wristwatch, noting the time while trying to stifle the slight anxiety.
"It's been hours, and it's almost evening. Maybe I should go look for her and help her come back?"
He asked himself, but then the main issue was where he could start with the search. The park was too huge. Still, Albert took a chance anyway.
"Miss Shelby could not have gone far with all the things she brought with her. I will check around as I am doing nothing anyway."
He had barely taken a few steps when he received a phone call.
After hanging up, he turned back to the car. He was a bit hesitant, but he drove away.
