Jason's heart pounded in his chest as worry consumed him. He dialed Ashley's number repeatedly, his fingers trembling with each press of the buttons. But each time, her phone remained silent, her voicemail the only response he received.Why is her phone switched off? That alone is enough reason to feel something was off about Ashley’s missing.Growing more anxious with every failed attempt, a nagging suspicion began to creep into Jason's mind. He couldn't shake the thought that something was terribly wrong. His thoughts drifted to Ashley's father, unaware that she had stayed behind. Could he be involved in her sudden disappearance?Fearing the worst, Jason knew he couldn't face this alone. He needed the support and help of his friends. He quickly dialed the numbers of the other boys, desperation evident in his voice."Guys, it's Jason. We need to find Ashley. Something's not right. Meet me at the usual spot," Jason said, his voice tinged with urgency and concern.The boys wasted no ti

The initial fear and tension instantly dissipated, replaced by a flood of relief and joy. He tightly embraced her, his heart still racing from the adrenaline of the earlier encounter.“Oh my God, Ashley! I was so worried about you,” Jason exclaimed, his voice filled with genuine concern. “What happened? Why did you come back here? And why were you trying to sneak into your own room?”Ashley returned Jason’s hug, her voice trembling slightly with a mixture of emotions. “Jason, I… I suddenly remembered something important,” she replied, her words filled with a sense of urgency. “I needed to come back and find some evidence. It’s crucial for understanding the truth behind everything.”Jason’s brows furrowed with curiosity and conc
The next day, an air of indifference enveloped both Ashley and Jason. Their silence continued, unaffected by the concern of the other boys. It seemed as though they had reached a point of no return, with both of them choosing not to engage or communicate.Eric approached Jason cautiously, sensing the growing distance between him and Ashley. “Hey, man, have you tried talking to Ashley? This silence isn’t doing any good for either of you,” he suggested, his voice tinged with concern.Jason shrugged, his expression apathetic. “I don’t see the point, Eric. It feels like we’ve drifted apart. Maybe we’re just not meant to be a team anymore,” he replied, his voice devoid of emotion.Eric shook his head, disappointed by Jason’s indifference. “You can’t just give up like that, Jason. Remember the promise you made to find your parents? This disagreement shouldn’t break your bond. You need to try harder,” he urged, his voice filled with determination.Jason let out a sigh, his gaze distant. “I d

Jason’s mind raced with a desperate urgency as he flagged down a taxi passing by. The driver, initially taken aback by Jason’s frantic demeanor, rolled down the window and asked, “Where to, buddy?”Jason leaned towards the window, his voice filled with desperation. “Follow that car! I’ll pay you whatever it takes!”The taxi driver’s eyes widened at the sight of the wad of cash Jason threw at him.

Jason waited anxiously until the following day to go to Ashley’s house. As he arrived, he approached the gate and requested to meet Ashley’s father. However, the security guards denied him entry, insisting that Ashley’s father was not available to see visitors.Frustrated , Jason tried to persuade the guards, explaining that it was urgent and he needed to find Ashley. Despite his efforts, they remained adamant and refused to let him pass.Just as Jason’s frustration reached its peak, a car approached the gate. It was Ashley’s father returning home. Seeing Jason at the gate, he parked his car and stepped out, a nonchalant expression on his face.“What are you doing in my house?” Ashley’s father demanded, his tone laced with irritation.Jason confronted him, his voice filled with determination. “Where is Ashley? I know you’re involved in her disappearance. Let her go!”Ashley’s father feigned surprise, his face a mask of innocence. “I thought you knew. Ashley is out of the country. Why
That was when Jason knew something terrible was about to happen to him and interestingly it would be at his crush’s home.“I think his shirt might be expensive too, it is only nice we allow him get something to wear home” another guard had said.Soon enough, they descended on him bringing out cudgels. Jason could hear them laugh at him while discussing how he should be dealt with.“I think using a strong rope to beat him is the best” one of them said. “I am not really in support of that. That will only make us look wicked” another said laughing.Then he heard a strange voice. Different from the one he is familiar with. “You should just allow me punch him and that’s all” and the two other guards screamed then it occurred to Jason that he wouldn’t have survived his fist.They kept going on and on about what to do with him and finally results to using some cudgels on him. Jason groan in anger and frustration as he was being beating and his voice could barely be heard after a while of be
