“Were they wearing their watches when they left?” Madilyn, who was calmer than Roxanne, asked with a frown.
At once, a light bulb went off in Roxanne's mind. At the same time, regret and frustration inundated her.
Too many things had happened today that everything else fled my mind when I realized that Archie and Benny had gone missing, leaving panic all that remained. Luckily, I went over to look for Madilyn!
Following Madilyn's reminder, she called Archie and Benny without delay.
Alas, Archie didn't answer even after a long while had passed.
She then called Benny, but still, no one picked up.
As Roxanne and Madilyn listened to the ringing tone drifting out of the phone, their hearts sank to the bottom.
There were too many reasons that Archie and Benny weren't answering the calls.
The worst possibility flashed across their minds...
Roxanne dug her nails into her palms to force herself to remain calm. Unlocking her phone, she checked the GPS location of Archie and Benny's watches.
Only when she saw the two tiny green dots on the screen did a sliver of relief creep into her.
Phew! Fortunately, I can still track them!
“I'll drive.” Likewise, having seen the GPS location, Madilyn immediately started the car engine.
Roxanne nodded weakly while staring at the two tiny green dots that were seemingly overlapping, not daring to take her eyes off for even a second.
Fortunately, the two tiny green dots remained stationary. Thus, they wouldn't have any trouble tracking Archie and Benny down.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity flooded Roxanne as she scrutinized the distance between her current location and the tiny green dots. But on second thought, she found that absurd.
...
In her bedroom at the Farwell residence, Estella tilted her head in puzzlement at the sight of Archie and Benny's watches flashing incessantly.
“It seems that someone is calling you, Archie.”
Archie glanced at the caller ID before he shook his head guiltily. “No, it's just my alarm.”
