𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐃 escalated at the sudden realization that Samira Havir, was not missing. She was running away. Omari had sped the car back to the hotel, meeting up with Mizo and Ronin, who also sped there. Everyone met back in the room you all started at, an hours ago, in Rufaro's hotel room. Rufaro hardly moved from his spot, occasionally getting up when necessary. But he stayed on his computer the entire time.

Instead of the earlier calm air, panic arose in the fresh fumes of the hotel room's atmosphere. A missing person is already bad enough. Depending on how they were taken, the stakes are always high. But finding out a person ran away with the intent on not being found, makes the situation harder because now you have to change perspectives.

"She ran away?" Rufaro had been caught up to speed on your theory of what happened to Samira, which everyone was positive is what actually happened due to evidence. "Why would she run away?"

"Strict traditional parents. Controlled life. Strict rebellion." Omari answered as he skimmed through the diaries Mizo and Robin brought back. "What need to find is the stressor. What made Samira decide to run away now? What made her run away now out of all times?"

"We need to figure it out quick." Mizo warned everyone as she leaned against her seat at the table Rufaro was sitting at. "It's been almost 33 hours since she's gone missing."

"We can assume she spent those hours getting everything she needs." Ronin stated from where he stood behind Mizo's chair. "But tonight, if she knows you're here searching for her, she's probably gonna attempt to leave. We won't find her if she does."

"Why tonight?" Rufaro questioned, his gaze specifically on Ronin for an answer. "Wouldn't she have eveything by now? Why can't she leave as we're speaking?"

"By now, I'm sure she knows people are looking for them. So, if they leave during the daytime, they'll more than likely get caught." Ronin explained, and Rufaro nodded his head to show he were following. "Night is the best time to run away. It's harder for people to see and it's more frightening to be out, which means it's easier to sneak around."

"Makes sense." You stood against one of the walls in the room with your arms crossed to your chest. Your attention turned to your best friend, who's head was focused again his laptop which he continued typing away on.

"Samira and Bryson ditched their phones so I can't track it. And I can't lost them on the traffic cameras because they found away to avoid it." Rufaro looked up from his computer to look at everyone in the room. "They really don't wanna be caught."
