New Years in New York (Part 3: Lost In New York)

Michael's POV
Alex: "Daddy?", he said looking up at me.
Michael: "Yes Alex?", I responded looking down at him.
Alex: "Where are we going?"
Michael: "Well, we're going to-- just wait and see, Alex", I said and kissed him on the cheek.
A few minutes later, Jim parked and we all got out. We were a few blocks away from Times Square. As we got out, I closed the door. I held Alex's hand and María carried Michelle who was fast asleep. I covered up Michelle with the blanket. As we got to Times Square. We saw all these stores and theaters and people in costumes and so many people. It's really true what they say, New York is for sure 'the city that never sleeps'. Just then, I spotted a person in a Mickey suit. Alex did too, I see, which is why he hid behind me. Then I saw Michelle waking up and looked over at Mickey.
Michelle: "It's Mickey!", she said pointing at Mickey.
María: "Yes, it's Mickey", she smiled and looked at her, "Say to Mickey. Hi Mickey", she said waving to Mickey but still looking at Michelle.
Michelle: "Hi Mickey", she smiled and waved at Mickey. María laughed a little and sneezed into her scarf.
Michael: "Bless you", I said to her.
María: "Thank you", she said with a sniffle and then sneezed again into her scarf.
Michael: "I think you're coming down with a cold"
María: "No, no, I'm fine", she said, denying it and sneezed again into her scarf.
Michael: "Yes you are", I said as I took off one of my gloves and felt her forehead, "You have a fever. You're burning up"
María: "Michael, I'm fine. Really. It's just that I'm wearing this heavy coat that makes me warm", she said and sneezed again and coughed into her scarf.
Michael: "Come on María. Stop denying it, you're sick"
María: "Alright", she sighed and coughed, "I'm sick", she said pouting and sneezed again into her scarf.
Michael: "Oh poor baby", I chucked and hugged her, "Come on, let's all go back to the hotel"
María: "Well, I just ruined everything", she said pouting.
Michael: "Ohhh no you didn't baby", I laughed a little, "You didn't ruin anything... Now let's go. Come on Alex. Alex?", I said as I looked down and noticed Alex wasn't there. "Alex? Alex?!"
María: "Where's Alex?"
Michael: "I don't know but we have to find him", I said, my eyes filling with tears. We both run back to Jim, who was back at the car, "Jim, is Alex with you?", I asked.
Jim: "Oh, no sorry Michael", he responded, "He got lost?", he asked.
Michael: "Yes, we need to find him"
Jim: "Well, he couldn't have gone far"
Michael: "Then let's go", I said as I grabbed María's hand while she held Michelle, "Hey, you okay?", I asked as I stopped and looked at María.
María: "Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine", she said with her eyes filling with tears. I removed her hoodie and saw her eyes were red and puffy, well because she sick and because she was crying. I put my arms around her and hugged her tightly with her crying on my shoulder and Michelle between us. Alex, where are you?😭💔

where's Alex? Where could he be?
