"Could... could that person be Ophelia...?" Amelia suggested. She almost regretted saying that.
"OPHELIA?" Screamed Desmond. "Why'd you even get that idea?" He asked.
"I-i...I can elaborate my statement.."
"Please do! It's my fiancee you are accusing....!" He defended Ophelia. Anyone would should do that for their partner.
"Aunt Adri said only you guys parents were supposed to be home that day. Clearly Ophelia must have told them you were out with her for her cover as she knew you won't be there anyways. She stayed home and probably posed as a traitor... I mean only that's a plausible theory don't you think?! Why would any of us want Annabeth or Raymond or anyone for the matter to be in pain?" Amelia explained her theory.
It did seem pretty plausible. Rather it fit. Because, it was Ophelia who told Adrianna about the date. Somehow, Ophelia was always there.
That's when something hit Adrianna.
"It has to be her... remember that ild lady? Her words..her..her prophecy?"
Everyone was in utter shock. All the circumstances just, fit perfectly like a puzzle.
"This does seem incriminating...I should have seen everything earlier. She is secretive as well. I know nothing of her past life, her parents her story about her being Orphan...
I doubt that story because today she told me she's going to visit her sick father? When she clearly mentioned an orphanage and all. She said her parents were dead...?" Desmond was in utter shock. He couldn't understand anything going around him....he just drank some water.
"What about Annabeth...?" Raymond finally spoke again. "I'm concerned about my wife even more now..."
"Ya..we need to find her.... quickly. " Amelia agreed.
"My kids...look at the time.... it's past midnight. We must rest. First thing we do tomorrow is go and ask for police help. Ofcourse we find her as well. But, you must rest. Ray, Sam, Melia especially you guys. Look at those eyes." Daniel expressed his emotions.
Everyone ate something light. They all went to their own homes. Adrianna and Llyod however stayed at the Jameson's.
- With Raymond -
Raymond came home, entered his apartment locked the doors. As soon as he entered he was greeted by their 8 month old puppy. He sat with her.
"Hello..Beth isn't back sweetie...we have no idea where she is...you are going to have to eat my overcooked food for a while... I'm sorry"
Bailey, their 8 month dog just sat there listening to Ray as if she understood everything.
The night was miserable, but it passed.
The very next day they went to Beth's workplace. They reported the incident. Soon Beth's squad got to know the truth and insisted that their own squad works the case.
They permitted Raymond and his friends to work on this case.
Beth's grandfather got involved as well. Her grandfather was in the army. He almost ordered that they include him.
Soon all of them got busy with the investigation.
They look and looked, searched and searched.
And continued for hour's.

"Wh-what at do you even want..fr-from me..." Annabeth asked confidently, yet she stuttered.
