Too Late?

“So, where exactly do you have in mind to search first?” Emily asked Jaden who drove at a high speed.

“Uh... my house” Jaden replied.

“And you’re sure they’ll be there?” Dylan asked his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

“Sincerely, no’’ Jaden replied with a shrug.

“How about the car?” Emily questioned Dylan.

“I’d go get it when we’re back” He replied.

The rest of the journey was quiet, as tension began building up in every one of their minds.

They unanimously jumped out of the car immediately Jaden parked outside his house. Jaden rang the doorbell impatiently until he heard a click sound, and then his mother pulled open the door. Without a word, he rushed into the house.

“Good day ma” Emily greeted.

“Good day madam ...” Dylan greeted too.

“Good day to you too my dears, come in” She said, and they obeyed. They mounted at a corner of the living room while Jaden searched for his brother like a lost pin.
