Caspian went to many places, including their favorite restaurant, gardens, and so on, yet there was still no sight of Larry. Given that he nearly went to all places in Marsingfill, even the cab driver couldn't help but ask if something happened.
After searching Larry for two hours, he almost wanted to burst into tears. He felt that it was way more tiring than the military training that he went through. After all, mental exhaustion was more devastating than physical tiredness.
Leaning against the headrest in the passenger's seat, he covered his eyes with a hand while massaging his temples with the other.
“Young man, where should we go now? I've been to all of the places you told me.”
Caspian replied in a weary voice, “I don't know.
Just go straight.”
After going straight for less than two minutes, Caspian's phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Thinking that it could be Larry's call, he hastily picked it up.
“Hello, are you Caspian? Where are you? I've been looking for you for almost the entire night!”
Since it was a stranger's voice, Caspian immediately felt that something wasn't right. He glanced at the phone screen and confirmed that it was Larry's number.
Why does he have Boss's phone? Holding on to his curiosity, he calmed himself down and continued answering the phone, “Who are you?
Why do you have my friend's phone?”
“Your friend is dead drunk in my bar. When I asked him some questions, he didn't answer me at all. Instead, he handed his phone to me and fell asleep right away. I don't mind if he's drunk, but he hasn't paid me yet. After all, these few bottles of vodkas are quite expensive. Since you were the last one he called, I thought I should call you. Are you free to pick him up? Otherwise, I'm going to call the police.”
