"I hope...that they can forgive me," Luana murmured, looking down at the floor. She sat in front of the little boy's father and kneaded her hands. "Forgive me...for not...approaching little Denny at that time. I was...too cowardly and afraid," she confessed, ashamed. The father was silent for a moment, then smiled. "No, please, don't apologize. You couldn't really help it...being scared is perfectly normal. Especially...since you agreed to help us...I am extremely grateful," the man replied kindly.
"But that's...not enough," Luana sobbed. "If only I had stopped," Luana cried, and again her tears dripped onto her summer dress. "No...don't blame yourself. Don't lose hope. I haven't lost hope for several years, I firmly believe that I will eventually find Denny. Be it ten, twenty, or a whole hundred years, I will not stop looking," he murmured, placing a hand on Luana's knee reassuringly. "As they say...Hope dies last," the wife murmured weakly, smiling. "I'm sure Denny is waiting for us. He's waiting for us to pick him up," she talked to herself. "I'm sure of it," she added.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang again. The husband, astonished, let the policeman and the Two Boys in. "Lu! Cheng!", Luana was happy to see the two. "Were you able to find out anything?" she wanted to know. Cheng shook his head. "No, unfortunately not," Xiao Lee admitted dejectedly. The video cameras are not enough, the blind zones are too big," he explained queasily.
"I have one more question," Lu spoke up.
Cheng looked up curiously. The father pondered. "I can take a look," he replied. On his cell phone, he swiped back and forth. Lu looked at all the children's photos in the parks. Some photos of the store. A photo of toys, then a photo and the drinks. Last, a missing person's report.
"One moment, can you show me the photo before again?" said Lu tensely. The father showed the photo of the toys.
A photo of toys...?
"He had to have taken the photo...on the day of the kidnapping!" shouted Lu, Cheng and he father at the same time.
"Cheng, can you try to find out if we have a chance?", Lu wanted to know. Cheng took the cell phone and tried to see the future from the time of this photo. Blurry images of a ball. Then a girl with black hair. Then...a hotel?
"We'll try it right now".

Lu opened his eyes when he saw the two toys in his hands. It had worked! Lu could see the memories of Denny! "Be on your guard," Cheng warned him. He sat in an adjoining room with Lu on the bed so no one could watch. After all, they couldn't just say they had paranormal powers. A ball rolled by next to Denny, and immediately the boy grabbed it.
"Now!" exclaimed Cheng anxiously. "A ball?" wondered Lu. Briefly, the little boy looked up, which is why Lu caught a glimpse of the person. "It's a woman! About 40 years old, at least 1.70 tall, massive. She's wearing a black shirt and has pink shorts! Short brown hair, dark, almost black eyes," Lu quickly described her.
Cheng wrote down everything he could. "Come on, give the ball back to Auntie, little boy," she said kindly, extending her hand. All of a sudden, Lu heard a strong smell...what was it?
"DAMN THE BALL IS FILLED WITH DUST!" shouted Cheng. But little Denny stood up and reached out his hand to the strange woman.
"LU! LU!" he tried to get into Lu's head, but it was completely fogged.
The woman and the child left the store.
"Ehm, that kid is leaving," someone in line commented.
"Didn't you hear? That's his aunt. Probably the parents called her," someone else replied.
