Chapter 21 - 21 GLORIA MISSING

In the morning

Renah was on her computer finding some information about where she's going to apply for a job. It was not far from where George's home was. As she was reading the content, she got a phone call from a random person.

ON THE CALL

Renah: Hey! Who's this?

Unknown: We are the bright cafeteria in town. Are you Renah?

Renah: Yes sir.

Unknown: Come at 10 for an interview. Thank u for ur time

Renah: No problem sir. Yes I'll be there.

Renah hunged up and got up to prepare herself. She went for a quick shower and later put on his favourite cloths on. It was time for her to get ready to leave but before going she went to see how George was doing.

Knock!

George answered loudly to Renah telling her to come in. Renah came in and asked George how he was doing. George said he was OK and Renah asked again if he wanted anything but George denied. Renah told him she was leaving for the interview at the bright cafeteria. George wished her luck and she went. She headed to the room to check on Gloria and Lubby. To her surprise, Gloria wasn't there.

Renah got scared. She looked for Gloria everywhere. Under the bed, in the wardrobe, in the restroom but she was nowhere to be found. Renah was freaking out. She went quickly to George's room and told him what happened.

George: What are you talking about? How can a small baby go missing in this house?

Renah: You are not believing me. I searched everywhere but she's nowhere to be seen. I'm worried 😟

George: You go to the appointment, I'll deal with it. You don't want to miss this opportunity, do you?

Renah: Keep me updated about her whereabouts. See u

Renah took off. She then walked to the cafeteria. She called the black guy. It took a while for him to answer but he still picked up.

Over the phone

Renah: Hey. Sorry for bothering but I need your help

Black guy: Wassup?

Renah: I'm panicking right now. We've lost baby Gloria. It would be either Lucas or the king of the 000X group because of what u guys did to the eliminaters.

Black guy: How do you know about that?

Renah: I've read the content of the 000X group you sent George. George thinks he can hide it from me but i have the right to know.

Black guy: I was planning to come take care of my bro and you say what? Gloria is missing?

Renah: Yes. Look help me. I'm heading out. Keep me updated please

Black guy: Alright. See you I'll try my best to help.

Renah had some hope and went to do her interview.

1 Hour After

Renah reached the cafeteria and sat down with her papers. A random worker came to welcome her

Worker: Hello. R u Renah?

Renah: Yes. I came for the interview

Worker: Follow me please

The worker guided Renah to the office of the manager for the interview.

She then thanked her and sat down

Manager: Renah, right?

Renah: Yes. Thank you for welcoming me

Manager: No problem. Now let's start.

GLORIA'S SIDE

We all know that Gloria is missing and no one knows where she is now. Let's find out.

THROWBACK

Last night when Gloria was sleeping with Renah and Lubby, there was a masked guy outside George's home. He had intentions to take Renah but he wouldn't do it when he was alone. He climbed a nearby tree and ended up in their room. Lubby saw the masked guy and he tried to bark but the masked guy spilled chemicals to Lubby that made him sleep. He took Gloria slowly that even Renah didn't hear it. He then went out with the baby.

THE MASKED GUY'S POV

Renah's mom was my enemy. She never helped our neighbourhood and she had money that wasn't useful at the moment. I always wanted to take revenge on her only daughter Renah. She soon ended up dying and Renah was in the hospital. Since then I never saw Renah. Now I'm back to take revenge. I belong to the tough empire in the city. Our goal is to take revenge in every way. Our powers are indicated by anger and we fight people using their weakness. My name is Emmy. Now that I have Gloria, Renah won't recognise me because she never saw me or even don't know my identity. I'll destroy her using her very weakness.

End of throwback and Emmy's pov

Renah on the other side, she ended her interview with the manager and headed home. She was walking home slowly and noticed a change on the sidewalk. The road was cracking slow by slow and she decided to run home. Lucas had his target on her and she kept running and so did the road keep cracking. Renah knocked a stone and fell down, suddenly Lucas appeared behind her.

Lucas: You thought you'd get over this so easily?

Renah: What do you want from me?

Lucas : I've heard ur so called baby is gone missing.

Renah: Is it you who took her? If so I'll finish you once and for all. How could you kidnap an innocent baby?

Lucas: Why would I take that brat? I want you to know that this is the beginning of your pain. I'll never go easy on you and if u make me angry I'll kill u and sell your pieces.

Renah: You're miserable. Lion boy

Lucas: So you know I'm a lion boy? Great. Keep fighting then

Lucas disappeared from Renah and she sighed deeply thinking where Gloria could be. She walked fast home.

AT HOME

George was sitting on his bed talking with the black guy

Black guy: She knows about 000X group. She found the link i sent you

George: Why is she in my computer in the first place? Is she suspicious of me or what?

Black guy: I don't know her intentions bro but be careful. Do u really trust her?

George: I don't. She seems cool but this. This is beyond. I'll take care of it

Black guy: But think twice bro. She's the only girl you can trust with ur secrets, right? It's not like you would just chase her out

George: It's good if she leaves. Maybe she's even the reason my Gloria went missing. Look bro, don't worry I'll handle it.

As they were talking they heard a door open indicating that Renah is back from the interview. They heard foot steps and immediately Renah opened the door without knocking.

Renah: Hey, I'm back. Did u guys find Gloria?

George: You care, don't you? You know what, I need you to leave my house and never come back

Renah: Just because Gloria is missing?

George: How dare you check my computer and start opening links that don't concern you. I gave u freedom to do whatever you want in this home but never joke with my stuffs. I want u to leave. I don't care where you'll go to. And another thing. I want my baby back

Black guy: Hey, this is not the right time to argue. Just chill. I was leaving anyway you both take care.

Renah didn't think of anything at the moment but went to get her stuffs as George wanted. She then went back with a happy face back in his room. She thanked him for finding her a job and that she'll find Gloria and bring her back home. She promised never to call him or live in his house again and she also told him that she will always be grateful for everything. She then left with her stuffs and headed out.
