Chapter 8 - An unknown caller

The following day was sunday so Alan hadn't gone to school. He was busy researching about the project.

'Rrringg~' The doorbell rang.

Alan went and opened the door and found a middle-aged couple standing with a concerning look on their faces.

"G-good afternoon. H-how may I assist you?" He said, framing a smile.

"We're here to get back Keith." With that, they went inside and began to search the entire house. "Keith! Are you here? Come out!"

Hearing the noise, Sam and Sofia came downstairs with a confused look on their faces. "What's happening here, Alan? And... Who are these people?" Sam asked.

"They are Keith's parents. They are here to look for him."

Sam and Sofia's looked at each other and appraoched the couple.

"Didn't Keith reach home?" Sam asked.

"No! We got to know from the teacher that he went to your house to discuss the project." The lady said. "By the way myself Naya Thompson, and he's my husband lenin Thompson. We are Keith's parents."

"But....he said he is going home. We said that we'll drop him, but he refused and went. Where could he go?" Sofia added.

"Let's go to the police station and register a complaint." Sam said.

They all went to the police station, but Alan was still confused. He closed the door and went inside. He went to Ricky's room and asked;

"Mr. Wang. Did you saw a curly-haired boy with short height around the house?"

Ricky looked up with a cold face. "How would I know? Your father only pays me to manage your family. I do not get paid enough for this thing." He said, coldy.

"He's so cold! I'll not talk to him ever again!" Alan thought to himself. He was going upstairs when Myra called for Sam.

"Mr. Hills! Mr. Hills? A call is waiting for you!" She exclaimed.

Alan decided that he himself would pick-up the call. As he was the son of a Royal elite, he should have enough power to attend his dad's call. He hopped the stairs and wnet straight to Myra. "Dad's not home. Let me pick-up the-" He was cut-off the call.

"No! I will pick it up tell the caller that when Mr. Hills comes, I will tell him about the call."

"Please~" He whined. "I also want to pick it up. And... I want to tell him what you're going to."

"Ok. Just for this one. Here, take it." She handed him the telephone.

Alan finally got the courage and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Sam Qingang, Rina Tamake and Quin Lee are to be executed. I repeat..... "
