"Rafael!" Marco called out, his voice echoing as he checked each restroom in the venue.
One by one, he made his way through them, only to find them empty. Eventually, he reached the hallway leading to the suites and resting rooms, his brow furrowed in growing concern.
Where could he be?' Marco thought as he stood in the dimly lit corridor, his eyes scanning the length of the hallway. Each closed door seemed to stare back at him, mocking his mounting frustration.
'He couldn't possibly be in one of these rooms, could he?' Marco muttered under his breath as he started down the hall. He tried each doorknob, only to find them all locked.
As he kept checking, his eyes caught sight of someone leaving the bathroom he had just finished checking, and he quickly turned, his eyes glued to the individual.
"Jaden!" Marco called out, the name ringing loudly from his mouth.
