Chapter 106: Angelina
" Why is he here? This isn't even his period. " One of the students spoke.
" Must be here for some announcement from that dwarf principal, you know how much Monk lick his ass. " Another student added in a whisper, that was loud enough for everyone in the class to hear.
" Silence, I am here to deliver a news to you all. This news is both terrifying and saddening, I have received words from John and Ron's parents that both of them have been kidnapped by someone, and whether they are alive or not is still unknown.
Their parents had received their photos and both of them looked critically injured in those images, do any of you know anything about them like where they usually go or the people they hang out with? "
After speaking, Monk paused and looked over the entire class but no one responded, so he added:
" I am telling you all about this so that you can be careful in the future. Also, the police are currently searching for them, they had come here to ask some questions to you all, so answer them carefully. "
After Monk announced, he looked towards the gate and from there two police officers walked into the class, since they needed to find John and Ron as fast as possible so the cops decided to ask all the students this way.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
After knocking on the door, Lucian stood in front of the house with Tess standing beside him, she was rehearsing her long dialogues.
*CLICK*
Then they heard the sound of footsteps from inside and the door opened, then a woman with a sweet smile appeared in front of them, almost half of her hair was white.
" Who are you? " Angelina asked.
" Hello Auntie, it's me, Lucian. " He spoke with a smile, Angelina narrowed her eyes and stared at his face for a few seconds.
" Lucian? You are the little Lucian? " Angelina asked in surprise.
" Yes Auntie, we are meeting after such a long time, how have you been? " Lucian replied.
" Oh I- you have changed so much, I didn't recognise you at all. You have become such a handsome boy. "
Angelina spoke, she lived alone since her husband had died a long time ago because of cancer, and then her gaze moved towards the girl holding Lucian's finger.
" Oh, this is Tess. " Lucian said then he looked towards her, gesturing with his eyes for her to say hello, though he just wanted to see how she was going to act.
" H- Hwloo " After messing up her single dialogue, she hid behind Lucian's leg.
" Such a pretty little girl, so adorable. " Angelina said then remembering something she spoke:
" Ah... Please come inside, though there isn't much space here. Where did I put the chairs again? " She then walked into the small house and both of the guests walked inside.
After walking into the house, both of them found a seat for themselves and sat down, while Angelina went to bring water for them.
Then they talked casually for a while, talking about the times when she used to work at his home and how their current lives are.
" So why did you come to meet me? " Angelina asked, she does not have any problem in talking normally or doing normal work but her thinking is slower compared to other people.
" Aunty, if it's fine with you, can you take care of the house like you used to do before? You have to look over her too. " Lucian replied, patting the head of the little girl who was busy eating chips.
" Ah, that... I would really love to but the people for whom I am working currently won't let me leave easily. " Angelina spoke, releasing a sigh.
" Why, did you form a contract with them or something? Why can't you just quit? " Lucian asked.
" No there is no contract but I know, those people are rich and in the past, I had told them that I would be quitting but... " Angelina released another sigh as if she didn't want to remember something.
" You have a mobile right? Call them I'll talk. " Lucian said with a firm expression, he didn't want to put someone he did not trust inside his house, so she was the only person he could think of.
" B- But they aren't normal people, you can get into trouble so it's better for you to just forg- " Angelina tried to refuse.
" Don't worry Aunty and just give me your mobile. " Lucian said, extending his hand towards her and after hearing his commanding tone she could no longer deny him and just handed her old mobile to him.
" Hmm You have calls from just one number so that must be of the person for whom you are working, right? " Lucian looked through the call logs, she can't operate the mobile and only uses it to answer calls.
" Yes, that's her. " She nodded with a worried expression.
*RING* *RING*
Lucian called the number and then brought the mobile to his ear, after several rings someone finally picked up the call.
" I was about to call you, come here right away I have some work for you- " From the other side, the voice of a woman sounded.
" She won't be coming from today, you can find someone else. " Lucian cut her mid sentence and spoke.
" Wait- Who is this? Pass the mobile to Angelina, you can't just quit like that send her here immediately or I'll make you both regret it- " the woman began to speak angrily.
" If you have a problem then come to her house right now, I'll be waiting. " Lucian said and instantly hung up the call without giving her time to speak.
' Her voice sounded strangely familiar, where have I heard it? ' he wondered but not thinking too much about it he looked at Angelina and spoke:
" She wanted you to go to her house immediately, but now she is coming here. "
" What?!! You shouldn't provoke them like that, those people are from a different world. She had recently injured her hand so she has been calling me quite often, I should just go there now- " Angelina said, the colour almost drained from her face.
Lucian wondered why she looked so afraid of them, but stopping her from getting up he said: " Don't worry and just wait here, I'll take care of it. "
" Sigh It is only going to bring more problems. " She said and just sat there nervously.
While they were waiting, Lucian was talking to her and also thinking about the code at the same time, his mind was working like never before, and he was sure that this time Echo would be much more intelligent and efficient.
Soon they heard the sound of a car screeching right outside the house, two people walked out of it and walked towards the small house, one was a woman and the other was a man with short height and almost half of his head was bald.
*BANG*
As they arrived in front of the door, instead of knocking the woman kicked it open and then angrily walked inside with her husband trailing behind,
" How dare you talk- "
