Friday, July 28th[Evening]

The television flicked on. It's bright colors seemed blinding in the darkened room. 

"Hello! I'm Nadja Chamack.  Don't be bemused, it's just the news!" Her normally happy face seemed a bit strained.  "Breaking news: Local, world renown fashion designer Gabriel Agreste has been declared missing less than an hour ago. If anyone has an information about his whereabouts, then contact the Paris Police station. Mr. Agreste has one son, Adrien; however, about a year ago, his wife Lilith Agreste went missing too. Are these two cases possibly connected? Let's find out! Sadly,  Gabriel's son and Nathalie, Gabriel's personal assistant, declined joining us..." 

Nadja went on. The news went on too. Everything went on, in every household, except for one.

Many texts and calls began flooding his phone. Nathalie stepped forwards. "Adrien..." She spoke. "I know this was unexpected but there's many problems for us to deal with now that's Gabriel's missing." 

Marinette, Master Fu, Wayzz, and Gorilla sat quietly in the dining room. Adrien sat at the head, still frowning, eyes fallen. Plagg and Tikki flew in from Adrien's bedroom, bringing his buzzing phone.

"You're getting a lot of texts, Kid. Chloe, Nino, Alya; everyone's asking about the news." Plagg dropped the phone in front of Adrien. 

"Do we know when he ran?" Wayzz asked. "Maybe he saw Master Fu gone last night, and left after.

"What if he didn't run? What if he got taken?" Tikki asked. Everyone looked to her. "He's a miraculous holder too, no matter how he got his miraculous; the Zodiacs could be against him too."

Master Fu stroked his chin. "Interesting, it could be. However, its more likely he ran after finding me gone."  

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fu." Nathalie apologized. "It's horrible that we couldn't find you sooner." She sighed. Turning to Adrien, she continued: "First, there's an issue with Gabriel we must deal with."

"Yes, starting with finding the villain." Plagg jumped up. "He couldn't have gone far. Use your trackers and stuff to corner him."

"It's harder than that, Plagg. And I was referring to the company Gabriel. Since Gabriel is missing, a few precautions must be taken. Firstly, if anyone asks, you don't know where he could have gone or why.I'm in charge in his absence, but it'll be harder to run without him."

"Fine." Adrien said.

"What now?" Marinette asked. 

"We'll search; the police will search. We'll find him." Nathalie said.

"We'll find him." Marinette repeated.

"Hopefully." Master Fu assured.

Thanks for waiting through a long period without new chapters. Hopefully, I'll post more since it's Summer.  I'm terribly good at procrastinating, and i'm so sorry for the wait.

Also below is designs that a reader @teenage_freak101  made of Hawkmoth themed outfits. They are truly beautiful and incredible!! (BTW I can't get the image bigger, but I hope you can clearly see it)
