Chapter 28 - Aurina disappeared

"Aurin?" Alfizar called out again, but louder, but still no one answered. Alfizar waited for Aurina to step out from behind some massive machine or behind a cupboard, but there was no response.

A feeling of dread rose up to his throat and almost blocked his airways, Aurina told him to meet her in her workshop, but somehow, she wasn't here. Another painful vision clouded his sight.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" The older hyphen looking Alfizar slammed his hand against the table, with so much force that the table actually cracked under the pressure; he was in his office taking out his anger on his subordinates, one of the Hacker team under Aurina's lead.

"Boss, I'm really sorry! I thought Young Miss was with you." The young promising hacker lowered his head. He was expecting his Boss go smash a few things or lecture him more, but the Boss only stood up with an order to follow him and rushed out of the office.

The young Hacker originally came to ask about Aurina's whereabouts because no one had seen her since this morning after breakfast with Alfizar, Henry, and Zio.

But she wasn't back yet, and the young Hacker looked for her because he needed some advice from Aurina regarding some debugging on his codes.

As for Alfizar, after breakfast this morning, he received a message from Aurina telling him that she was out with her friends, and she already has some of his men coming with her. And Alfizar felt foolishly reassured with that message, he replied with a 'have fun and don't come home too late'.

And now that the young Hacker said that Aurina promised to mentor him on his hacking skill, only then did Alfizar feel that something was off. He tried to call her phone, but no one picked up. That's why Alfizar was so angry back then.

Alfizar slammed open a double mahogany door and rushed into a big room full of newest computers and unidentified gadgets he doesn't know the use of. With an urgent loud voice, Alfizar ordered the Hacker team that Aurina usually lead, to trace her whereabouts.

He doesn't care if they have to infiltrate the police's security footage or whichever organization, as long as they could find her, even if someone found their traces, he doesn't care. He will deal with the aftermath later.

And as he ordered, they managed to find her phone in a trash can near their headquarters, but it's slightly damaged as if someone had thrown it away.

Thirty minutes later, which will only be 10 minutes if Alfizar asked Aurina to look for someone, they found her in a CCTV footage where she was unconscious and carried by a man along with his two companions like a rice sack with her stomach on his shoulder.

They took her to a red district in the city, into the dirtiest part of the district. With that information, Alfizar took several of his men with him to rescue his sister... Unfortunately, they were too late. The recording Alfizar saw was already 9 hours old. And she died in the most painful way.

With that vision, Alfizar became more panic. He didn't have any subordinates, he didn't have any hacker that could find Aurina for him.

Someone patted his shoulder, and that pat cleared his sight from the panicked and horrible vision. It was Frans, he looked at Alfizar with a confused look.

"Calm down, what are you panicking about?" Frans actually rubbed his back in a soothing manner. Alfizar just noticed one thing, Frans was oddly aware of his surroundings, it's weird because he is 'Frans'. The filterless mouth Frans.

Alfizar shook his head to clear his thoughts and head. Taking in a deep breath to calm his chaotic heartbeat. He took out his smartphone and tried to call Aurina. It's connected, but she didn't pick up.

Aurina rarely ever left without her phone, actually, she never left without her phone. So whenever he called, when always answered within a few seconds unless she was in the bathroom.

Even if she was in the bathroom and didn't pick up, she will call him back not long after.

Dioz asked around, he asked one of the Tech club's member and have said that there's a boy came before they did and asked for Aurina. While the boy waited outside, the Tech's member went to inform Aurina, soon she came out to meet her guest. After that, no one knew where they go.

"Did you see his face?" Alfizar questioned Ofriza, the Tech Club's member.

Ofriza's eyebrows furrowed as he tried to recall the "guest's" face. Then he seems to realized something as he punched his own palm with wide eyes.

"Ah! He wore a masked and sunglasses. Really weird, why would he wear a sunglasses indoor?"

That answer sent Alfizar's heart up to his throat. Something's terribly wrong. Ofriza said that the boy came around 5 minutes before they did. But 5 minutes was more than enough to harm someone.

Rachzi, Dioz, Frans, and Vianzo seems like they sensed his discomfort, so they decided to began searching for his little sister. Alfizar was worried, he afraid that something bad might happen to Aurina... For the second time...

Alfizar left his phone number to Ofriza, just in case that Aurina came back here. Hopefully so.

"Let's go." Alfizar didn't even wait for his friends' confirmation as he rushed out from the club. His first destination is, of course, the computer club right next to Tech club. He didn't have to look back to know that his friends will definitely run after him.

Soon after, he made his way to the computer club's room, he slammed the door opened with a loud bang, the commotion brought all the eyes in the room to them.

He looks around frantically but she wasn't there, feeling depressed he walked out to the hallway and tried to call her phone again.

A familiar classic tone reached Alfizar's ear, his heart jolt in surprise as he snapped his head to search the source of the ringtone. Didn't take him a long time to find the music's source.

It came from a trashcan, and he found a phone with his name as the caller on the screen.
