Shayne went missing ever since that night. It seemed that he had faded away completely from Yanny’s world without leaving behind a single trace.
Even Jake did not have the slightest clue about Shayne‘s whereabouts. All he was told was that Shayne had given himself a really long break.
Yanny had even visited Samantha as an attempt to learn of Shayne's whereabouts through her. However, Samantha told her that her brother had always been really secretive about things and would never inform his family about where he went.
The post about her relationship with Shayne had gone viral on Twitter.
However, only Yanny knew that Shayne himself had vanished into thin air.
Yanny had no other options left so she went to visit Lucas, Heaton, and Rodney but none of them knew where Shayne had gone.
Heaton was able to provide some clues. He suggested, “There are quite a multitude of well-known islands across the world. Perhaps you could try and search for him there on each one? Besides, he’s on a long break. He’s most probably indulging himself on some random island.”
Yanny thought that she had a lead, so she asked Heaton to send her the list of islands Shayne owned.
However, as Yanny scrolled through the endless rows of islands, she could not help but respect Heaton from Shayne's motley crew.
With all of these islands on the list, it would take her an eternity to search for him.
Cindy suggested a plan. “Teamwork makes the dream work. Although this world might be vast, there are netizens from all over the world. If each of them lends us a hand,
we’ll be done in no time. Besides, we’re only searching for a person so it's a piece of cake! Why don’t you announce it on Twitter and the ones who find him will be given a reward.”
Without any hesitation, she announced her relationship with Shayne to the public and updated her feed.
[Missing: My fiancé had been missing for a week. Chances are that he isn’t in the country so if anyone notices him, please inform me of his whereabouts via direct messages as soon as possible. A picture of him is required as proof. Those who are able to locate him successfully will be given a reward. Thank you.]
Shayne's picture was attached underneath the caption.
After Yanny posted that tweet, it went viral. In less than two to three hours, netizens all over the world saw her tweet.
Everyone was searching high and low for Shayne.
When Lucas saw this breaking news, he laughed hysterically and made an international call to Shayne.
The signal over there was mediocre so it took a while for Shayne to pick up.
“Hey man, where have you been? You’ve been gone for so long that we’ve been bored without you.”
Shayne answered frustratedly as if he had something urgent to take care of. “Enough beating behind the bush, just spill it. I’m busy.”
Lucas arched his eyebrows. “Haven’t you heard the news? Yanny’s been looking for you everywhere. She even told netizens from all over the world to search for you. Yanny is one of a kind, alright. It seems like she’s tougher than any other man out there. If you don’t take this seriously, she might get to you and your little buddy down South will be in danger.”
“As if I have time to cheat, I’m extremely busy. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
Shayne was puzzled as he wondered, 'What do they mean ‘missing person’?' He would soon realize that he had not been on social media for the past few days.
Shayne got out of the sea, his body drenched with sea water as he dragged his feet out of the sand. He carried his surfboard and headed home while going online and looking at Yanny’s post.
Yanny's Twitter post had been trending for a few days.
As Shayne read the missing person post, he cracked a grin and thought to himself, 'You can't help it, can you?'
Shayne called Lucas back.
Lucas asked lazily, “What do you want? It's only been a while. Are you thinking about me?”
Shayne could not be bothered to joke with him as he spoke in a serious manner, “If anyone tries to give away my location to Yanny, they’re going to have to go through me.”
“Man, did you really hide in the corner just to cheat on her? No problem, If that’s the case, I’ll have your back.”
“F*ck you and your cheating. Look, this is called motivation by agitation. Whatever, it's hard to explain to an absolute idiot like you. I doubt you’d understand it. I’m gonna hang up now.”
Lucas was displeased as replied, “Hey now, I went for an IQ test a month ago and have an IQ of 180. Yet, you still have the audacity to call me an idiot?”
Shayne was in a good mood as he raised his eyebrows before hanging up. He did not want to waste his time dealing with Lucas.
