Mylo seemed to have already expected me to say that. He finished his meal in big gulps and said, “Let’s go.”
I hesitated. “Mylo, I can go by myself. You don’t have to come here and there with me.”
“I’m worried when you go around alone.”Mylo walked to the door and changed into his shoes. “I don’t want you to drive my van and get into an accident from being distracted. If that happens, I will be guilty forever.”
He opened the door. “I still have a long way to go in life.”
He turned around and smiled at me.. “Let’s go.”
At that moment, he gave off that mysterious feeling that I’d always felt from him. Yes, Mylo felt really mysterious, but it’s not the time to ask now. I quickly followed him into the camper van and drove to the front door of the Hall Corporation.
The main gate of the Hall Corporation was still guarded by many people. We did the same thing as yesterday, circling around to find an unlocked door, but we still couldn’t find a way to enter.
We then went to the police station, but still didn’t get any useful information.
Mylo said, “Let’s go back and wait for the news.”
“I want to look around more.” I got into the driver’s seat.
Mylo didn’t stop me and he got into the passenger seat. I started the van and started driving around the city in a daze.
I went to a few restaurants that we frequented, and then to all the schools we’d been to since we were kids. The night passed by really quickly. I hadn’t been to many places and it was already dawn.
Mylo stretched. “I’m too hungry. We need to go back and eat something. We also need some rest to replenish our energy.”
I took out my phone and checked the news. The police still hadn’t released anything.
I continued my search for a while longer, but Mylo couldn’t stand to watch any longer. “Pull over by the side of the road,” he told me without emotion. “I’ll drive.”
I knew he was really hungry and sleepy, so I stopped the van by the road.
I got out of the van. He got out too and walked to the driver’s seat. I smiled at him. “Mylo, thank you. You should go back and rest.”
Mylo’s expression darkened. “Aren’t you coming with me?”
“I was hoping to look around a bit more.” I don’t know what expression I’m wearing right now. I can only feel the muscles in my face go numb.
He seemed to think that I was being unreasonable, and there was a faint flicker of anger in his eyes. But after a moment, his eyes were clear again. “I’ll drive. We’ll look around again.”
“You don’t have to stay with me, Mylo.”
“I want to look around the city too.” He pulled me along, then walked back around to the passenger seat and pushed me into the car. He got into the driver’s seat and drove without an expression on his face.
I suddenly felt really guilty. When I find Abraham, I must get him to bring a gift and thank Mylo.
We drove around the city’s main thoroughfare, my eyes glued to the pedestrians on the road, afraid to miss a glimpse of Abraham. After a long day, my eyes were unbelievably painful.
In the evening, Mylo drove the van back to his house. I only paid attention to the pedestrians and not the roads. Only when the van stopped in front of Mylo’s house then I realized that I was already there.
Mylo handed me the mirror again. “Look at your eyes. They’re already bloodshot.”
I didn’t want to look, but I knew my situation was definitely terrible.
Mylo said helplessly, “Take a rest. You’ve been searching for an entire day.”
I didn’t want to rest. All I could think about was Abraham.
Mylo saw that I was stubborn, so he picked up his phone and took a picture of me. He then threatened me, “If you don’t get some rest, I’ll send this picture to your parents.”
I gave in and went to eat and sleep, just as Mylo wished.
Mylo put a sleeping pill in my water, all in my presence. “Half a pill. I hope you’ll have a good dream.”
I drank it without hesitation, since I knew that I couldn’t sleep without the help of the drugs.
When I woke up, it was afternoon again. I took out my phone to check the news, finally seeing the news from the police.
However, after reading through the entire article, the police still didn’t manage to find any useful information about the Hall Corporation being involved in the disappearance of those eight employees. They learned towards the possibility of the eight employees disappearing due to some personal reasons and it had nothing to do with the Hall Corporation.
My greatest hope was gone.
I looked around. Mylo’s not here. I left a note for Mylo and walked out. There was only one thought in my mind right now. I needed to find him, even if it meant spending the rest of my life searching for him.
I switched off my phone and began to weave through the streets of Elsingborg. I bought water to drink once I was thirsty and would eat bread once I was hungry.
I have no idea how long did I do that, up until I lost consciousness on a bridge.
