Cassandra arrived at the college and imdiately she walked into the classroom and she didn’t et any of her friends, she looked worried.
She brought out her phone to dial Maria’s number and imdiately she did, the number was not connecting and after several attempts, she was fed up.
Once she decided to call Laura, she heard footsteps approaching her and when she lifted her face, she saw Laura standing before her with a smile on her face.
"Good morning Laura, I was just about to dial your number... How are you doing?" With an exciting smile on her face, Cassandra uttered those words.
"I am fine, I was just contemplating not coming to the college today, but I later changed my mind at the last minute and that’s the reason I ca late!" Laura explained calmly, as she dropped her bag on her seat.
"Why didn’t you want to co to the college today?" With a curious look on her face, Cassandra inquired.
"Nothing serious, I just woke up feeling tired and I felt like taking a rest, but I later changed my mind... Where is Maria?" Laura said as she ended her statent by asking about their friend.
"She’s not in school and I have been trying to reach her, but her number has not been connected... I don’t know what is going on with her!" Cassandra said as she sounded worried and concerned.
"Hmm... Have you tried calling Bernard also?" Laura asked.
Cassandra paused a bit, as she looked at Laura sternly, before letting out a smile on her face.
"Why do I need to call Bernard?" Cassandra asked as she rolled her eyes up.
"Because he likes you and I am very sure you do have his numbers, then lastly... We need to find out how our friend is doing!" With a smile on her face, Laura replied to her.
"Okay, that’s true... But I am only calling him because of Maria’s sake!" Cassandra said as she dialed Bernard’s contact on her phone.
The number connected and it started ringing several tis, but there was no response, till it stopped ringing.
Cassandra and Laura had worried looks on their faces, as they were concerned about Maria not being at the college and the fact that they were unable to reach her.
"What do we do now?" Cassandra asked as she looked into Laura’s eyes sternly.
"One of us will need to go check up on her in the house and that will be you, then I will need to quickly go to reach Mr Frederick to know if they had any agreent on seeing each other... Please let’s get moving now!" Laura said, as the both of them picked up their bags and walked out of the classroom quickly.
Imdiately after they got outside the college, it was Cassandra that was the first to get a cab, and she quickly got into the cab, as she departed for Gilbert’s mansion.
’I will calmly follow up on your tracks... I need a distraction to be able to check and know what’s stopping Maria from not coming to the college and why her number is not connecting!’ Laura thought to herself, as she flagged down another cab and she also got into the cab, with Gilbert’s mansion her destination.
*At Gilbert’s Mansion*
Cassandra arrived at the mansion and she went straight to the gate, as she knocked on it and in a very short ti, the guard at the gate opened the gate to interrogate her.
"Good morning sir, please I am here to see Bernard!" Cassandra said as she had an innocent smile on her face.
"Who are you and do you have an appointnt with the boss?" The guard asked as he looked into her eyes sternly with a scorn on his face.
"I am Cassandra and I don’t need an appointnt to see him... Just go tell him that I am at the gate!" With a lot of confidence and audacity, Cassandra made those statents.
The guard was stunned by her confidence and with the looks on her face, he had no option, but to step back inside to inform Bernard about her.
"I will be right back!" The guard said, as he locked the gate and went back inside to et Bernard.
Cassandra took a very deep breath, as she was so scared with all her acting skills and she was only hoping that the guard won’t get furious with her while acting all very courageous earlier.
After about five minutes, the guard arrived and he opened the gate with a smile on his face.
"Please co in!" He ushered Cassandra into the mansion, as he locked the gate and he led her to where Bernard was waiting for her.
Cassandra noticed that most of the guards were not around and where the guard was taking her to, was not towards the living room, but the library and that was the place she t Bernard the last ti she was at the mansion.
She suddenly stopped in her movent, as she looked at the guard with a curious look on her face.
"Please ma’am, co with !" The guard said politely.
"Where are you taking to... Are you sure Bernard is there?" Cassandra asked as she kept on with her acting skills.
As the guard wanted to reply to her, Bernard walked out of the library, as he tapped the guard to return to his duty post with a hand gesture and also nodded his head in appreciation of him.
"Cassandra, good morning to you!" With a charming smile on his face, Bernard greeted her.
"Good morning Bernard... So I will always have to be going through all these interrogations whenever I co here to see you?" She greeted him, as she also questioned Bernard with a look into his eyes.
"I’m sorry about that... But he was only doing his job, please co inside!" Bernard apologized, as he took her with him into the library.
He offered her a seat imdiately after they both got inside, as he sat before her and with a questioning gaze on his face towards her.
"Why do you want to see ?" Bernard asked.
"I and Laura didn’t see Maria in the college today and we were worried about her, as her number was not also connected... Laura and I agreed on coming here to check on her and I also missed you so much!" Cassandra said as she sounded a bit mushy at the end of her statent.
"Hmm... That’s nice of you guys to think of checking on a friend. But I am afraid that I don’t have good news for you on that!" Bernard said as he sounded unhappy.
"What do you an?" With a heavy look of curiosity on her face, she asked with a stern look into his eyes.
"What I am about to tell you should never co out of your mouth to anyone... I am only going to tell you because I trust you and I love you!" He said as Cassandra nodded her head in acceptance of what he said with curiosity consuming her already.
"Maria has been kidnapped and we are looking for her... We wanted to perform a rite and ritual in our park and she holds a strong stand in the success, so we believe that those that ca to abduct her, are those against being an Alpha and I am very sure they won’t hurt her!" Bernard explained as he looked deeply into her eyes.
"So what are you guys doing to help bring her back and how sure are you that she’s safe with them?" Cassandra asked as she sounded very scared and worried.
"We are sure that Maria has no problem with anyone and those people will not hurt her, because her existence ans a lot to everyone in the park and including them... They need her alive and well to talk with and that I have made a step to et them!" Bernard said with much confidence, as he let out a soft smile on his face.
"Hmm... I just hope that she’s fine. I don’t want anything to happen to Maria!" Cassandra uttered with a concerned facial expression.
"Don’t worry, she’s fine... I promise to get her out there as soon as possible!" He said as he promised her assurance on the safety of Maria.
"Co over here now... I miss you so much!" Bernard said excitingly, as he drew Cassandra close to himself.
*Outside the Library*
Laura was at the back of the window that connects to the library, as she was eavesdropping and she heard everything that the both of them discussed.
’Hmm... This is sothing bigger than I expected, I need to reach Mrs Spencer as soon as possible!’ Laura thought to herself, as she quickly sneaked out to make her way out of the mansion.
She made sure her steps made no sounds at all in order no to attract anybody...
