Capítulo 75: Message
I forgot about Robbie with all the scare about Twen. I took out my cell phone and saw that my hands were still trembling. I was about to press dial when I recalled that he had a meeting. I looked at Sam, who was talking to the cops. He might be busy and not be able to pick up the call. He told me to leave him a message in such a case.
I quickly typed the message and sent it. My shaking hands were not very cooperative. Just writing one text made me erase it at least eight times. I saw Sam talking to the teachers, but I just had about enough. I can't tolerate staying in the room any longer. I walked out of the room to the school porch.
The thought of Twen being somewhere with a stranger, who I don't know, what he was doing with him, was eating at me from within. I have been praying that they don't harm Twen. If he was kidnapped at around 4, it has already been more than an hour. But why wasn't there any ransom call so far? Was it really a kidnap?
My habit of overthinking was only making my thoughts get darker and grimmer. I pushed back my hair and slammed the pillar beside me with both my hands. I felt a stinging pain in my hands, but I couldn't care less. I was waiting for the cops to come and quickly search for Twen. I can't take this panic any longer. I feel it might spill out at any second. I took out my cell phone thinking of informing Fred and Tanya when,
RINGGGGGGG!!
My cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence and my chain of tragic thoughts. I quickly looked at it to see it was Robbie. I hurriedly picked it up and heard him speak urgently and in horror,
"Tony, what do you mean Twen is abducted?" he asked.
"Ro-Robbie...Twen is nowhere to be found. W-when Sam came to pick him up from school, he was not there. Sam c-checked the nearby areas, but he was not there either. We checked the security cameras, and it looks like some teacher took him," I said, my voice breaking.
"WHAT?? Did you call the cops?" he asked, sounding perplexed.
"Sam did. They must be on their way," I said.
No sooner were the words out of my mouth than I heard the siren of a cop car approaching.
"Tony, did that teacher take him in a car?" Robbie asked as I heard some music in his background and someone calling him.
"Yes," I replied shortly. My throat was too dry to speak.
"Send me the car's and the teacher's details right now and get hold of all her records and send them to me. Also, if there is any ransom call, inform me immediately! Got it?" Robbie said in a stern and alert voice that couldn't hide the tension beneath.
"Yes," I barely choked out.
All this doesn't feel real to me anymore. I could only agree to do what it takes to find Twen. At that very moment, I saw the cop's car reach the school, and many uniformed cops came rushing towards the school porch where I was standing.
"And-" I was focusing on the cops, so, Robbie's words slightly surprised me. He paused as if contemplating something, then said, gnashing his teeth, "Call Fred."
I was taken off guard on hearing that. I would have informed him anyway, but Robbie specifically asking me to call him surprised me. I stuttered, "Wh-what?"
"Fred belongs to the D'Souza family and has a large network. He will be able to help you track Twen down. I will be taking the first flight back, but I won't be able to reach there before it's night. Fred can help you till I reach there. So, call him, okay?"
"I-I will," I said as I saw one square-faced, tall cop approaching me.
"Sir, would you happen to point us towards the -"
"This way," I said, interrupting the cop who gestured to the other cops to follow him. I quickly wrapped up the call saying,
"Robbie, I have to hang up right now. The cops are here."
"Okay! Don't forget what I told you. Send me the details ASAP," Robbie kept reminding me.
"Yes, I will, and Robbie-" I said as the cops and I reached the faculty room. The cops immediately passed me and entered the room. I was about to follow them in as I said softly, "I'll be waiting."
