A few weeks passed by, and there wasn't any progress showing, with Layla's whereabouts still remaining unknown to Michael. He had several sleepless nights and had even stopped visiting Perkinston Crops, causing Brian to become the temporary CEO.
The search was still on, and they hadn't left any stones unturned, searching through suspicious buildings and forests. They had even hit the old school building situated in Critine City to no avail. With Komachi's cleverness, they discovered the bungalow further inside the forest.
"There's no visible casualty, but I want you to do a perimeter check," the new chief of the police directed his team. Frank, Komachi, and Michael were also part of them; each one of them held rifles in their hands.
Once they secured the area, the team of cops and trained men surrounded the building. Something seemed off to them, and the silence only worsened Michael's beating heart, which was dying to meet Layla.
