The search

"Where is Adam?" he asked, jerking the shoulders of Valerie.

There was pain, fear and concern in his eyes as he asked her, his eyes were turning moist.

"How would I know Adam? Didn't you ask me to go and check their luggage? Then how would I know Leo, what happened here? But you were right here, you tell me.

I heard a gunshot so I came running here. When I reached here Adam was nowhere to be seen. You were laying here unconsciously and all these men were dead. Tell me how did they die? Who killed them when I just heard a single gunshot."

She continued barging her questions but Leo was not even listening. He stood up and started to look around in every nook and corner.

"Hey what are you doing? Do you think Adam is a small pebble that could be hidden around? You are looking for a human, for Christ sake!" she shouted but he was not listening.

Like in a trance, he continued to look around for Adam.
