"I've always wanted to be a bounty hunter you know? I just never had the opportunity to horn my skills." Biggie said lightly, trying to distract a very troubled Iverson beside him as they both entered yet another empty room.

He had watched his friend's stress level rising up with every house and every room they searched. Now, he could practically feel the negative anxiety rolling off of him in waves and unwelcomely sipping into Biggie's own skin.

This was the last of the three houses listed under 'F. D. Campbell' and still there was no sign of Bella or Daniel.

The first house they went had a 'To let' sign at the front that made getting in really easy for them. They'd only waited a few minutes for an agent who gave them a thorough tour of the bungalow and talked their ears off about the advantages of it location, thinking they were interested in getting it.

The second house had signs of occupants from the outside and after a little deliberation they both decided breaking into someone's house in broad daylight wasn't a very smart idea.

Thank God for little wonders like Pokemon Go, it had never been any handier and Biggie made a mental note to send an empty gift basket to the company, he was sure they would find a use for it.

He and Iverson had quickly whipped out their phones after ringing the doorbell and both pretended to be engrossed with the game even though only Biggie had it installed. Iverson had probably clicked on Piano tiles or Garageband or one of those music relating shít he has on his mobile.

"No one has to get hurt, but our Magicarp and Pikachu are wilding in your living room. We'll just catch them and be fast out of your hair like we were never here." Biggie deadpanned to the young lady who opened the door.

But it turned out he couldn't have picked a better day to wear a tank top. The lady's wide eyes had accessed both him and Iverson before settling impressively on Biggie's muscled biceps.

Noticing this, Biggie had folded his hands on his chest to further flex his muscles, with a Cheshire cat smile on his face and the lady practically swooned while Iverson rolled his eyes to the back of his head. But hey, it got the job done and they even got offered to stay for tea! Unfortunately, Bella wasn't there either.

The last house was an uncompleted storey building in a secluded part of town, with free land behind it that would make for a great garden later. That was saying whoever live in it when it was complete likes gardening.

It solitary location gave him and Iverson hope.

"This have got to be it." Iverson had said and Biggie agreed. Being caution as to not alert any occupant, they'd parked Biggie's car at the last house they came across, which was roughly five minutes away and wisely legged it over.

Unfortunately and frustratingly enough, there was no sign of life here either. Maybe Daniel was more of a slime than they gave him credit for and took Bella some place that couldn't be associated to him or maybe they were just too late.

"I didn't even believe she was missing!" Iverson suddenly exploded instead of supporting Biggie's bounty hunting aspiration.
