In our modern age, when you can call someone and can't find them, you can pretty much be sure they'll get the message.
"Hey L it's Alyssa. Listen, I know it's early, but I thought I'd ... So this is my third call. Where are you? ...It's me again. I've left you a couple messages, and you haven't called me back... I think we should hang out today. Friends hang out... Maybe you've lost your cell phone. Can't wait to see you..." Alyssa says sending the voice message.
But if they don't call you back, it usually means they don't want to be found.

Marcel is playing his guitar and Mg comes out of his room.
"Hey, do you think "Track Me Down" should come before or after "Everytime"?" Marcel asks him.
"Is the Rolling Stone thing tonight?" Mg asks since he kinda had forgotten.
"I guess I really am in one of the Top Ten Forgotten Bands of the '90s..." Marcel says sarcastically.
"It's true. I forgot." Mg says with a laugh.
"Yeah, but a lot of people remember. There's a reason that issue was one of the highest selling of the year." Marcel says.
"And I'm proud, Dad, I really am. You got your follow-up article and a concert, surely followed by an overpriced CD sold at corporate coffeehouses for Gen Xers without taste buds or taste." Mg says.
"Hey it's gonna be cool. I mean, they're even filming it for vh1" Marcel says with a shrug.
"Vh1 Classics. The "classic" is kind of important." Mg says.
"I'm classic! Uh-oh, no retort. Signs of a sleepless night. Disinterest in making your father feel old and irrelevant... That can only mean one thing. Girl trouble." Marcel says.
"Yeah Lizzie and I, we had a fight last night. This new kind we keep having where she says something, and I know it's not the whole truth." Mg says.
"Well, have you asked her what's really on her mind?" Marcel says.
"Only about ten thousand times, yeah." Mg says with a sigh.
"Yeah, but did you really mean it? Most times, when people don't offer the truth, it's because they're afraid of what someone might think. And I don't know if you know this, but you can be a pretty judgmental guy." Marcel tells his son.
"So you're saying that I should learn to be someone else around her so she can be herself around me?" Mg says confused.
"Couldn't have said it better myself." Marcel says.
"Thank you, Dad. I'm gonna go find her right now." Mg says and then he walks away.
"See you tonight... Both of you." Marcel says going back to playing his guitar.
