"So that's how you get to the answer," the Maths tutor explained. "Thanks for clarifying anyway. See you next week."
"It's nothing. Asking for help when in doubt is the right thing to do," Mindy confessed. "You too. See you next week!"
However, no sooner had Mindy stepped out of Chicago 9, her phone rang. Mindy immediately picked it up. This time, the contact read:
Darren Kagari
Urgent. Respond immediately.
Mindy leaned on the wall outside her classroom and answered the call.
"Hello, Darren?" Mindy asked.
"Hey Mindy. Can you look for Jarius? He didn't attend volleyball training or remedial classes," Darren replied frantically.
Mindy's eyes widened.
"Sure, I'll check for him immediately. Thanks for letting me know. Bye." Mindy immediately slipped the phone into her skirt pocket. She broke into a run, reading to find Jarius.

Eliminating all the schools, Mindy went to the paediatric clinic first to see if he was sick and seeking consultation.

Going to Pockymasters, Mindy hurriedly scouted for Jarius. However, he was not there.
Unsuccessful.
🔎
Passing through the arcade, Mindy went inside. The arcade was abuzz with the sound of coins and the beeps of the machines.
Unsuccessful.
She even reminded her airheaded brain those with school uniforms aren't allowed entry, but this time, she was lucky.
🔎
Walking up the stairs, Mindy decided to look at the Internet cafe. Jarius has been playing video games like crazy, so there was no doubt he'd be there.
And he was!
🔎
Walking into the Internet cafe, Mindy walked around frantically looking for Jarius. Just then, she heard a familiar screaming voice.
"HEADPHONE JACK! GO! GO! BEAT DAMN DYNAMITE TO DEATH!"
"Kor!"
