Arc: Level C [Continued]

March 19 *15 years ago* *About 30 minutes later*

    After getting off the bus station, I quickly head towards the front of the hotel where plenty of people were stationed. Lights from police cars light up the area as the sun began to set.

    Those from news stations rush into the front of the hotel as the commotion gradually gets louder and louder.

    I look at the side, and carefully attempt to move pass the police to get into the hotel, though am stopped by a familiar voice behind me.

    "Desirée?"

    I quickly turn around, only to notice David, the Vice President of FBHE, standing behind me. "A-ah." I quickly bow. "Hello Vice President." I've had the chance to talk with him quite a few times, thanks to my parents' jobs at FBHE.

    Once he gets close enough to me, he smiles. "I told you that you don't have to call me that. David is fine."

    I nervously chuckle as I nod my head. "R-right."

    "So what brings you all the way out here?"

    David Cater. Both him and Kai Genji, the President, are known to be the newest high officials of FBHE. After both of their fathers' deaths 6 years ago, they immediately assumed their fathers' positions as 19 year olds, which became one of the biggest news of the decade.

Though even though they're young for big business leaders... they're quite capable... and I'd trust both of them with the life of Elites.

"Desirée? Are you okay?" David asks as he examines me. I must have been zoning out as I quickly blink to snap out of my thoughts. "You seem out of it today. Is something on your mind?"

I take a deep breath before looking up at him. If I tell him everything... he could help, right? He's bound to know eventually anyways. "I-I need your help..."

He noticeably becomes intrigued as he moves closer to me. "What's up?"

"C-Chase is in trouble." He makes a confused expression, though doesn't say a word as he waits for me to continue. "H-he met a Yamiren..."

"A Yamiren?"

I nod my head. "A-and he's made him do all this stuff... that I'm sure he regrets. This whole situation at this hotel... was caused by them..."

He remains silent as he thinks to himself. "Wow... Desirée, I'm sorry this happened to you. This is surely the worst situation an Elite can be in."

I nod my head. "My parents are looking for him at this very moment. Though... once they do find him... I'm afraid of what will happen to him..." I take another deep breath. "You know... with the legal stuff and all of that."

David nods his head as he rests his hand on my head. "I'll do whatever I can, don't worry."

A smile gradually grows on my face as I nod my head. "Thank you, David!"

He smiles back before looking at the scene ahead. "So you came here expecting to find him...?"

"Yeah... but I doubt I'd find him here."

"You think he went back home?"

I quickly look at him. "H-home? Maybe... I have been out for a while."

"You should quickly get to him then. I'm sure he'd be shock with the sudden search. You should tell him what's going on before your parents get to him."
