*Isabella Hernandez's POV:
(This takes place two days after Chapter 20)
"I'm sorry, no one is available to answer the phone at this ti-"
"God, why isn't anyone answering the phone?!" I yelled out in anger as I hung up.
I called the house phone that Beval and his friends were using in the hideout about twenty times. None of them answered.
Me, my parents, Gaia's parents and older brother Thomas, and Robin's parents were at Mrs. Mizuki and Mr. Hada's house. We were trying as hard as we could to get in contact with Shimizu, Robin, my brother Beval, and Gaia.
I dialed the number and called one more time.
"It's been about two or three days since we could get in contact with them. They knew that we would call them every day to check up on them, so what is the problem?! Why suddenly they aren't answering the phone?!" Mr. Douglas ranted as he laid his hand on top of his bald head and patiently waited as my phone rung. His skin was a faint pink as he started to stress more and more.
My phone went to voicemail after about ten seconds.
"Do you think something happened to them?" Thomas walked up and asked me.
"I don't know. I hope not."
"I'll try to call them" Mrs. Mizuki volunteered. She dialed the number and called. After it went to voicemail, she left a message. "Shimizu, it's your mother, please call me. We are worried about you and your friends. You haven't been texting or calling in a couple days, is everything alright?"
"Mommy, is Shimizu okay?" Hikari asked Mrs. Mizuki with worry in her voice.
"Yes baby, he should be fine, you don't have to worry" she responded as she crouched down and caressed Hikari's hair.
"Ugh, it keeps going straight to voicemail!", Mr. Douglas yelled out in anger. "What on earth is going on?"
Robin's, Gaia's and Shimizu's parents started having a group discussion about this whole thing. I decided to stay out of it.
"Isabella!" my mom yelled out.
"Yes?" I answered.
She wiggled her finger for me to come over to her. I walked over and sat down in between her and my dad on the couch.
"¿Crees que los oficiales se los llevaron?" my mom asked. Translation: (Do you think the officers took them?)
"No lo sé, mamá. Pero le pido a Dios que no sea así", I replied as I shrugged my shoulders. Translation: (I don't know mom. But I am praying to God that's not it)
"Tenemos que tener fe en que Beval está bien. Tal vez su teléfono acaba de morir", my dad said to us as he wrapped his arm around my mom, comforting her. Translation: (We have to have faith that Beval is okay. Maybe his phone just died.)
"No sé sobre ese papá. Él y sus amigos no han contestado sus teléfonos desde hace un par de días. Por lo general, nos llamarán todos los días para decir que están bien y a salvo," I said back, giving my thoughts on this whole thing. Translation: (I don't know about that dad. He and his friends haven't been answering their phones for a couple of days now. Usually, they'll call us daily to say they're okay and safe.)
"Okay, maybe we are just overreacting and maybe they're busy doing something?" Mrs. Mizuki stated to the others with a nervous laugh. She said it loud enough for me and my parents to hear.
To be honest, I was really thinking the same thing at that point. What if we were just anxious about the whole thing and they were alright?
"Busy doing what Mizuki? They are in an underground shelter with Wi-Fi. They should be know where else but in the hideout. What else could they be possibly doing?" my dad spoke up in frustration as he got up from the couch.
