Chapter 13 Condition

• Despite of being clouded by anger towards my boss, I choose to remain focused and collected. I drove fast as I can just to reach Aisle's school fast. Biting my lips, I hurriedly jumped out of the car as soon as I park. My eyes then find for Helena and saw her in the gate, talking to guard with recognizable panic in her every movement. I jogged on her place, then caught her attention afterward. She immediately wrapped her arms around me and sobbed on my shoulder. I as well started to cry again. The tears I am controlling while I am still driving earlier just flowed heavily from my eyes. It seems unstoppable especially when Helena mentioned to me that my daughter is still missing.
• I didn't know what to do anymore. We already talked to the guards and they are now trying to check every CCTV footage. I and Helena are sitting on the bench, outside the CCTV room—waiting for the results. Helena tried to calm me down but I just can't. She offered me a bottle of water but I can't even open its cap. My hands are trembling for f*cking sake! Different scenarios played inside my mind, nonstop. On my side, Helena looks like me too. With her bloodshot and puffy eyes, I could say that the level of her worry is the same as mine.
• “She's not like this, Alice…” Helena started the conversation between us. I agreed with what she said. She is right. Aisle is not like this.
