A Trip To The Center Of The Sea.

The moment Owen heard the line go dead, a sense of dread filled him. He quickly tried to recall her, but much for his dismay, his call went to voice mail. "The user you're trying to reach is currently not available. Please try again-" He ended the call before the automated voice could complete it's words.

He had a very bad feeling.

He tried calling her once more, but his call went to voicemail again.

The next time he tried to make a call, he called Cassandra instead. Steading his voice as he heard the phone ring, Owen reminded himself to be as subtle and calm as possible. Because for all he knew, Leonica could have possibly butt texted him her location and then ended up dropping her phone, cracking the entire thing.

Yeah, that sounded like it, he thought, but deep down, he knew Leonica's voice when she wa relaxed and when she was anxious and on edge and her voice a few minutes ago had clearly sounded like she was anxious and on edge.

"Hello?" The sound of Cassandra's voice pulled him away from his own mini world.

"Mrs. Romero? Hi. Sorry to intrude, but I just wanted to confirm if you've sent Leonica home."

"Yes, yes I did, so don't you worry." Cassandra said and muttered. "Young lovers nowadays sure are quite clingy."

Owen would have made a jest out of his soon to be mother in law's words, but not in this situation he couldn't. He was anxious, pacing the room back and forth before even he could notice it.

"I see. Thank you, Mrs. Romero." He said and was about to hang up when Cassandra asked.

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes," He lied, knowing fully well that if he were to put the elderly lady on high alert over nothing, Leonica would have his head.

So, he forced a smile and lied, "Yes, everything's fine, don't worry, Mrs. Romero."

"Well, okay. Have a good day and don't overwork yourself. Bye now."

And just like that, Owen ended the call, but he couldn't stop pacing, even after Cassandra's reassuring words.

Something was wrong, he could feel it. Glancing at his phone, precisely at the location Leonica had sent him, Owen grabbed his jacket and keys and dashed out of the room.

He couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad had happened, and he was not going to sit and wait for Leonica to tell him that she's fine.

Not when he had a very bad feeling.
