Bad Day for Science (2)

Damien was nervous. Chairman Young was old, and he might not survive this. Katherine had already been so stressed about what she discovered from Deborah, and now she might lose the only family she got apart from Damien. 

"What is it?" William asked when he noticed that his cousin was looking pale.

Damien told him about Chairman Young. Since Frederick sat between them, he heard it as well. His uncle showed a look of surprise, but he didn't say anything. It was William who replied.

"What do we do?"

Checking the time on his watch, Damien narrowed his eyes. It had been more than two hours since the supposed meet-up, and yet there were no signs of Deborah. "Call the number," he said.

William grabbed the phone from the center compartment and dialed the number that Deborah used to text Frederick. "Can't be reached."

"You have any idea where she might be?" Damien turned to his uncle.
