[THE DAY BEFORE THE FLIGHT TO FRANCE]

Both Rade and Adelaide went on separate ways to fulfil the plan they came up with. The boy with the glasses was indeed good in hiding what he really feels. During that moment, he was obviously bothered at the fact that his best friend was missing.

His mind was travelling elsewhere as he walks the busy streets of their city. Occasionally bumping onto strangers that would eventually glare, look at him suspiciously, and sometimes even talk to him in a rude way regarding his actions.

He was tasked to gather people they will be needing while Adelaide on the other hand booked their chartered flight. Silently wishing the people he had in mind will be free in the time of his need.

His first stop was at the Luxury car dealer garage. He walks in as he silently admires the lined up cars under the roof of the huge garage.

“Yes? How may I help you?” A man in his overalls approaches Rade as the man gets his hand clean from touching the grease.
