Although I said I was not worried, I was afraid that Harriet would do something out of the ordinary. We hurriedly caught up.
The strange thing was we had seen their shadows in front of us, but they were gone in the next second.
We could not find Theo and Harriet no matter how much farther we went.
I looked around for them anxiously. "Theo, Harriet, where are you?"
"Wanda, don't panic just yet. We don't know this place well. Let’s get the locals up to help us look for them so that we don't get lost ourselves." Delia held me back, expression calm.
She was right.
I nodded, then took out my phone and made an emergency call. "Hello, two people from our group have gone missing. Can you please bring a few people up here to help us look for them? We’re now..."
We waited in place for the locals to arrive.
I could not sit still, however. I did not know where they had gone. The mountaintop area was so big that we did not manage to find them even with a few of us.
It felt like a long time has passed, but when I looked at my phone, only ten minutes had passed.
Delia noticed my anxiety and covered the back of my hand with her hand, comforting me. "Don't worry. President Grant is a blessed man. Everything will be fine."
I would not be so worried if Theo was the only one who got lost, but Harriet was now with him.
Who knew if Harriet would take this opportunity to do something?
The more I thought about it, the more irritated I got. I stood up, "No, I'm going to go look for them."
"Wanda, don't be impulsive. You'll get lost yourself if you go alone. What about Munchkin?" Delia held onto Munchkin’s hand tightly. He was looking at me pitifully at the moment.
I forced down my anxiety, and after a while, the security officer in charge of this area finally arrived.
"We were just walking when we noticed that the two of them had gone missing. Get people to look for them quickly," I said anxiously.
