Ren remained untraceable for a week and no one knew where he was. His phone was off, he didn't respond to emails, his credit cards weren't used at all and after using all their sources to investigate where he could possibly have gone from the airport - Pax and Wolf were able to find out that Ren had chartered an aircraft to an island on the other side of the world. The island was remote and not well connected to any mainland. Wolf had gone off to the island to look for Ren, but it seemed that he'd left the island within a few hours of his arrival. After three days of searching meticulously, Wolf found the boatman who had ferried Ren to another island nearby. Wolf followed the trace and was led into a merry wild goose chase for several days until he finally located Ren in a small village in the dry, arid and oil-rich Sand Country, happily discussing a business deal with the ruling monarch over a luxurious meal.
