This New Year's Eve is destined to be a sleepless night.
After going back, Sonia hid under the quilt and cried for a long time. After 25 years of grievances, all the unwillingness and resentment should be let go.
When I see you next time, I can still talk and laugh. But I won't feel a thing for you.
She stayed up very late that night, and Quincy also tossed and turned on the next door for a long time. When he got up the next day, he had raccoon eyes.
Sonia passed Carl's room when she went to work. She knocked on the door. "Remember to go to work today." There is no reply inside.
There is no holiday for New Year in the game studio. There are more students playing games on their holidays on New Year, and they have to maintain the server at any time.
When she arrived at the work place, Wade sent everyone a big pack of snacks. Sonia was surprised. "Why do you give us this?"
"This is called reviewing childhood memories."
Wade opened a box of the snack. "Happy New Year, Sonia."
"Happy New Year." Sonia smiled and greeted everyone in the studio. And everyone exchanged their soluble coffee with different flavor according their routine here. Then they sat down and devoted themselves to a new round of work.
On that day, they waited for a long time, but Carl still didn't show up at work.
"This is strange." Little Moon muttered, "Although Carl is always late, he never skips work."
"Is there something wrong?"
Green Dinosaur began to call Carl. But no one answered.
"There shouldn't be any accident. He slept well in my house." Sonia thought for a while. "Could it be him forgetting to apply for one day off because he has something to deal with?"
"It's possible."
While Fiona saying so, she stopped the work at her hand. "Is there any other contact information of Carl? Let's check one by one."
After going through her phone, Sonia realized that she didn't have any other contact information except his Whatsapp account. And neither did everyone in the studio.
Carl disappeared on the first day of the new year.
Sonia felt a little anxious. "I'll go home after work and check in my house."
"Okay."
After all, he is a 27-year-old adult, so there won't be something bad really happening to him. Although everyone is worried, they don't feel too anxious about it. Although Carl doesn't talk much, he is pretty reliable!
Sonia worked overtime before she got back home. When she returned to her house, she found that Victor and Carl were not at home.
An alarm bell suddenly rang in her mind. Sonia rushed out to look for them, but she couldn't find them. She immediately called Victor with her hands trembling.
Victor only has a phone for children. Life has been peaceful for her recently. No one came to take Victor away from her, so Sonia somehow let her guard down. Now Victor disappeared with Carl, which made her feel unsafe immediately.
Did Victor bring trouble to Carl?
She was suddenly at a loss, so she collapsed on the sofa.
Where did Victor go? Where did Carl go? She didn't know what to do, and they didn't leave any trace for her to find.
She was too powerless to fight back against those powerful people in this society. She stayed in place will a dull face for a long time. Quincy who lived next door passed by her house after work. Seeing her door was wide open, he went in and saw Sonia sitting on the sofa with a decadent face.
"What happened?" Quincy was startled.
Sonia suddenly looked up and muttered unconsciously to Quincy: "Victor and Carl disappeared."
Quincy felt that someone suddenly grabbed his heart. It's not a big deal that Carl disappeared. But if Victor is missing, too, things can be serious.
He picked up Sonia. "Don't be anxious. Go downstairs with me to check the monitoring cameras. I will accompany you to find them."
