( this chapter is a continuation of the previous one and still told from raina's pov )
"I'll call you back."
I ended the call before Malcolm could say anything else and sat on the edge of the bed staring at the dark screen.
Rhonda missing. Kuro. The Aizawa family. Felix. My grandfather. Every answer I uncovered seemed to split into three new questions and I kept arriving late to a game everyone else had been playing for years.
I scrolled to Tengu's number and called.
He picked up on the third ring, which for Tengu meant he had considered not answering.
"Himari." His voice carried the particular flatness of a man interrupted during something he considered more important. "Back from Japan already."
"I need your help."
A slow exhale came through from his end ."Of course you do." A pause. "It's late so Make it snappy. I got a hot date waiting for me, if you catch my drift ."
"I need to find a missing person."
