"Not good, not good! Karl and Kaelan went missing!!!"
That was the news Ruby heard just after she and the whole team had finished editing the ending part of the project and rolled the credits on screen. The room, which had been filled with relief and quiet pride a moment ago, instantly turned cold.
"What!!!" Ruby's eyes widened, her voice sharp with shock.
Penny, who had rushed in with the news, looked pale and shaken. Her hands trembled as she spoke, her words spilling out too quickly. "Karl was walking toward his dorm, and suddenly this luxurious car stopped right beside him. They pulled him inside before anyone could react! And Kaelan—Kaelan saw it happening. He tried to pull Karl back, but they grabbed him too. He was also taken…" Her voice cracked, tears welling in her eyes.
Ruby's heart raced, panic flashing across her face as the weight of Penny's words sank in. She grabbed Penny by the shoulders firmly, steadying her. "Calm down! Don't cry now—we need to act fast."
