69. Forgive him?

After seeing the fruit shop which was not far from the school building that had been opened, I went to meet the owner immediately to try my idea. "Excuse me, I would like to ask you something. I wonder if you ever saw this kid," I asked politely and held out my cell phone showing Antonie's photo, "Does he live around here?" 

The fruit shop owner looked at me with a suspicious look. He looked at me and he photo alternately, "I never saw him," He said

I did not want to waste my time, I started asking some people around the park, passers-by, the security of my old school, the passers-by with their shopping bags, and the fruit shop owner said the same thing, they had never seen Antonie. 

"Miss, we have to go back," it was noon already when Kerberos reminded me.
