Kage had gone to all the places he felt she could be-like the bridge, her favourite bar. When he didn't find her, he asked the people around if she's been there, but none of them gave him what he wanted.

He was getting into his car when his phone rang, the caller turning out to be Lancelot. On impulse, he thought of ignoring it, but Lancelot never called him for fun. And seeing that Sylvie was missing, he didn't want to leave any information ignored. his ear.

"Hello, Kage. Would you happen to be home? I know it's late, but I'll very much love to speak with Sylvie." Lancelot spoke in a voice that was less amusing than usual.

Kage froze, his brows furrowing. "Why the hell would you-"

"Yeah, I know it's strange that I'd be calling to speak with her, but the thing is, Sylvie and I have some unfinished business. I've been trying to reach her on phone, but her phone seems to be dead. Unfortunately, this business can't wait which is why I decided to call you instead. If you can, I'll need you to give her the phone."

Kage already had enough problems to worry about, but what unfinished business could Lancelot and Sylvie have?

He wanted to ask but waved it aside. Finding Sylvie was more important at the moment.

"She's missing, so we've been looking for her." He grumped and hung up, cutting Lancelot who was about saying something else.

Lancelot found it hard to believe in his hotel room. Sylvie didn't just turn off her phone, but she went missing!? She ran out of home? Typical her.

He poured himself a glass of wine, trying to calm his thoughts but it wasn't working.

"Damn it!" He cursed as he thrashed the glass against the wall.
