"Don't say this. It's our job." Mike answered.
"Okay, just cut this. Mike, I will give you a day off. Just enjoy yourself. I will pay." Athena said.
"Thank you, Ms. Stella!"
Mike didn't refuse. He stood there straight and expressed his gratitude happily.
"We should go."
Athena gestured to Evie.
Evie nodded.
The two then got into the car.
Before starting the car...
Athena handed Evie Linda's personal profile.
"This should be the first victim. Her parents' contact information could be found there. Luckily, our school is kind enough and has been sending people to visit them. But we have lost contact with them for the last ten years. Hope that Linda can bless her parents. They must be alive!"
Evie took a deep breath. "I'll call them!"
"Okay."
Evie quickly dialed the number of Linda's father.
After two beeps, the call wasn't answered. It was said to be a vacant number.
Her heart immediately rose to her throat. Then she called Linda's mother.
After a few long seconds...
The phone went through.
Evie immediately and silently made a victory gesture.
"Hello, who's that speaking?"
An old voice came from the other end of the phone.
Athena and Evie breathed a sigh of relief.
One hour later.
In the suburban area of Girard City.
Athena and Evie followed the address and found a villa area where retired people usually lived.
"This place is very nice." Evie looked around.
The villas were located far away from each other.
