As Bruce began to drive away he turned on the radio. He turned up the volume to its maximum to try to drown out his thoughts but he still heard them. He heard Lucius' words. His ego was not more important that his wife. He knew that was true but he also did not feel that he was being egotistic.
No one knew where she was but Bruce had a feeling. He drove to Sidi's house. Sidi had been avoiding him since he stopped Brake's death. Since Sidi wasn't there, Aymara was able to let him in.
"Where is she?" Bruce asked Aymara as soon as he came in.
"Mother's not here and I'm sure she wouldn't want me to tell you where she's at," Aymara said.
"Not Sidi," Bruce said. "I'm looking for Adriana."
"Oh," Aymara shrugged. "She's not here. I haven't seen her since the weekend."
"Makes no sense," Bruce sighed. "Where could she be?"
"You don't know where she is?" Aymara asked, her voice sounding worried.
The sound of worry in Aymara's voice made Bruce realize how foolish he was being. Aymara had no idea what was going on, no bias, and she was already immediately concerned.
"No...I don't know where she is," Bruce told her, the headache from his hangover making his temples throb.
"Well, where did she say she was going?" Aymara asked.
"She didn't," Bruce said. "We had an argument. A significant one, to say the least. She walked out."
"Well, she should come back soon then," Aymara said. "Give her a couple hours at least."
"It was last night," Bruce said.
The words coming out of his mouth made him realize his mistakes. It was sounding more serious the more he explained the details to someone completely removed from the situation.
Aymara frowned. "She's been gone all night? Is Arsenio with her? Did she take him?"
"No," Bruce said.
Aymara looked afraid.
He thought of the words he had said to Adriana, the threats. There was no way he could tell Aymara this without feeling like a horrible person. Perhaps that was the truth. Lucius was right. It was his ego, he was ashamed.
"Oh...Bruce.." Aymara said, and Bruce could see she was trying not to panic. "Can you call her sister?"
"I could try but I don't want to worry her if she hasn't heard from her," Bruce said. "I'll check her phone record to see if she's even been in touch with Harri."
"You can do that?" Aymara asked about the phone record.
"It can be done," Bruce said.
"Okay," Aymara said, nodding quickly. "If she contacts us or comes here, I will call you right away."
"Thank you," Bruce said to her. "I'll contact you once I hear from her."
Bruce walked out to his car. He got in and pulled out the computer that folded out from behind the radio. He checked Adriana's phone records. The last call was from Alfred the previous evening. He assumed that was the call where Alfred told her where he and Arsenio were. He didn't know what to make of it. He was also able to track the location of the call when it was received. Home. It must have been when she was in the elevator or in the private parking garage.
Immediately, he picked up his phone and called her himself. As soon as he heard the automated voicemail message he hung up. He needed to leave a message, but he wasn't sure what to say. He took a deep breath and called again.
