SanJuanpolis' reeks of alcohol when someone breaks a glass of wine in the station. There are people who are shouting at each other because of wrath and impatience. The officers are all busy doing their tasks.
Cylon Pasatiempo, the most handsome police officer, walks towards Arya's desk. He watches Arya as she studies the case of a missing student. He glares at her sharply. After a while, he gets Arya's pen because her fellow rookie is just ignoring him.
"Give me back my pen." Arya demanded.
"Uh uh. Before I give this to you, answer my questions." Cylon put Arya's pen in his pocket.
Arya raises her eyebrows.
"What do you want from me this early huh Cylon? Don't mess with me. I am busy. Don't you have something to do?" Arya raises her voice while glaring at Cylon.
"I just want ANSWERS. How did you know that Harvey isn't the intruder? How did you know about his sister's plan? F*ck Arya! I have so many questions in mind! I don't believe any single thing you uttered to my brother. I am not that stupid."
"Cylon, we have two missing cases today. Are you going to disturb me the whole day? If you don't believe what I have said back then, you can do your own investigation on how I came up knowing all of those. You can use my pen, it is a rare one. It can sense danger and it will give you the answers to your question." Arya laughs when she sees Cylon clenching his fists.
"What is the commotion all about?" Divonne taps Cylon's shoulder as she sits beside him. Cylon fixes his polo and hair before facing Divonne.
Cylon stopped teasing Arya when Divonne came. For him, Divonne is like an angel. She has the sweetest voice and the smile. Her body has perfect curves. No wonder Cylon likes her.
"Good morning Divonne. I am just asking Arya about the recent case." Cylon sprays some perfume. He gives his best smile to Divonne. Arya smiles secretly as she witnesses Cylon's weird side.
"Divonne, I have some urgent things to do. You can talk privately. Cylon seems nervous when you are around him." Arya teases Cylon.
Cylon follows Arya. He didn't want to be alone with Divonne since he can't control himself doing weird things whenever she's around.

General Lary visited them to see if Arya is doing fine. He sat bedside Eris.Ythan started the briefing about the missing cases.
"We already have two missing cases. It is still not being concluded as kidnapping but we are looking for that possibility. Both of them went missing while on their way to school. They vanished in different locations but one thing is common, it is within the one kilometer radius of Laiya. Have you read the victims' profile?"
Everybody nodded.
"When there is a missing person, the family needs 24 hours before they can report it to us. TWENTY FOUR HOURS is already long. Imagine how scary it can be for the victims and for their parents also. Forty eight hours of a person's disappearance is crucial for us because it is the best time to follow up on any leads and before any solid evidence begins to fade away.Rookies, I am proud of your achievements so far but please take this case seriously. We already have two missing students today. We have to find the culprit soonest. Use each other's strength to cover one's weaknesses. I hope each of you will cooperate. Sgt. Rufie and I will be gone for a month. I have been working on this case, together with Arya's parents, for almost three years already -online drug trafficking and illegal firearms sales. This case is really nerve wrecking so Ythan and Divonne take good care of the rookies while we aren't around."
"Yes, General." Ythan and Divonne answered in chorus.
After General Lary walked out of the briefing room, Ythan continued.
"Cylon, you have to find this van, take note of the plate number. Eris, you have to go to the immediate family. Now is the time to start soliciting for additional information. Leo, check the students' call logs and phone's location. Also, try if you will be able to track their phones and give me the report after you are done. Divonne, you have to go with me. We have to confirm something."
"Okay Ythan."
"Do you also need my help, Bro? I mean Detective Ythan?" Cylon smiled at his brother, waiting for an instruction to accompany them.
"Cylon, just do what I have asked you to do. Work is work. Don't mix it with your personal issues and emotions." Ythan warned Cylon by his tone.
"What about me Ythan?" Arya complains.
"Let's talk later. Guys let's move!"
Leo tapped Arya's shoulder. Arya has no choice but to go through the victims' profile again. While reading every detail about Sheryl and Edlyn - the girls who went missing; Arya gets a load of Leo's memories. She sees Leo pulling the trigger of his gun too many times. After that, Leo dropped the gun and he picked it up again after some minutes. He drove his way to the nearest sea. Thereafter, he threw his gun. He grabbed his head and he shouted something repeatedly. The senior police officer cried. Arya can't comprehend what Leo was saying back then. Leo's memories vanish when the phone suddenly rings beside her. Arya answered the phone.
"San Juan Station, how may I help you?"
"Can I talk to a police officer?"
"Yes, speaking."
"Edlyn is now here with us."
"How come? I mean did you find her or did she go home alone?" Arya's tone suddenly descended.
"She went here alone."
"Thank God." Arya sighed and smiled.
"It's a relief that she is safe but she is not her old self. She was cheerful and talkative before but now, she can't even speak a word."
"Did she tell you already where she came from? Did she tell you who abducted them?"
"No. She went directly to her room and locked the door. Can you please go here? Sheryl's parents are here too because they want to know Sheryl's whereabouts. We can't force her to talk. Please help us Ma'am.", she begged.
"I'll go there. Kindly monitor her. Don't let her go out of the house. I'll be there in twenty minutes."
"Thank you Ma'am?" The woman waited for her to say her name.
"Arya. My name is Arya."
"Okay Ma'am Arya. Take care. We will wait for you here."
Arya gets her things hurriedly. She texted Ythan about the news. Before she could even read Ythan's reply, she started driving.

"Why can't I contact Eris? Divonne try to call Eris.
"I can't reach her either."
"Call Leo and tell him to follow Arya to Edlyn's address. Arya isn't picking up my calls and she's not replying to my messages. I can sense something isn't right but I can't explain what it is."
~~~
Leo reached the address that was sent to her by Divonne. The place is somewhere in the middle of the woods. There is only one log house in the area so Leo assumed that it is where Edlyn's family live. He gets his phone to update the team but there is no signal in the area. Upon observing the place, he saw Arya and Eris' cars.
"Did Eris and Arya go here by themselves? I think something is odd but I can't explain it. Arrrghh." He sighs.
~~~
Arya's head hurts. When she opened her eyes, she saw Eris unconscious. She tries to move her arms and feet but she can't since someone tied her up. When she realizes the situation, she looks around. She sees Sheryl's parents and just like Eris, they are also unconscious.
