The wedding started. The ceremony was short and sweet.

The reception was just a few feet walk away. As soon as the wedding ended. Silas called Oisin again. Still, his call went straight to voice mail.

"Dammit! Where are you?" Silas softly said to himself.

"Are you okay?" Santiago asked.

"Oh. Yes." Silas replied.

"Are you sure?" Santiago asked worriedly. "I noticed you earlier and all throughout the ceremony you were constantly looking at your phone."

Silas looked at him suspiciously.

"Hey, do not get me wrong." Santiago seemed to have read Silas' mind. "I'm not a creep or anything. I just find you attractive that's why I noticed you earlier. Also, the fact I'm a police officer, so I am keen to observe my surrounds. Let's say it is part of my work hazard."

Before Silas could say anything, Willow appeared before the two as her groom was at the other side of the tent greeting their other guests.

"Oh, Silas, there you are. I see you have met Alejandro's brother, my new brother-in-law Santiago."

"Actually, I was just about to introduce myself."

"I see. Well, I'll talk to you guys later."

"Okay. Thanks."Silas said.

"By the way, Silas. Have you seen Ajax? I invited him and he confirmed that he'll be attending my wedding, as well as Huntley."

"No. What makes you think that I would know where those guys are?"

"Whoa. Relax. I only asked since Huntley mentioned, you all went to school together and all."

"Wait, are you talking about the Ajax fellow around 183 centimeters in height, perfectly symmetrical face and who lives in Holies Upper Street?"

Silas and Willow was dumbfounded by what Santiago said.

"Willow's brother-in-law, you are starting to creep me out with what you just said."

"Hey, let me explain. It was a couple of nights back. We received a call from a resident at Ajax's building. His unit got broken into. I mean literally the door was broken down. I was ordered to stay at his place the whole night to ensure that he was safe."
