The year 2037  is going full speed for me for everything is happening smoothly the way I wanted.

But that's what I thought.

Incoming call from Jordan...

Michigan snobs the call as she continued to drink a bottle of beer

*sirens*

"What do you want from me?" Michigan ask the officers that just halts her way and knocks for her car window to be slide down.

One of the officers clutches his pistol

"What are you doing?!"

(THE DAY AFTER)

President Dylan came rushing to open the television.

21 Years Old , Michigan Hailey reportedly missing, the young Flight Stewardess car seems to be found in one of the street in Atlanta.

My hangover got faded after hearing the news that makes me jumps off my bedroom and rushed my way to the family area.

"this can't be true.." Jordan whispered with such confusion

The vase falls on the ground after I felt my body getting weak slowly it makes me sit at the floor as my mother comforted me with tears.

She went missing over the night, the night that I was having fun at the first snowfall no wonder she is not answering her call.

"I'm so stupid!" Jordan blames himself after hearing the news

It's happening all over again and this is truly unbelievable, I have to find her. The president calls his troops and calls for code red.

"Don't worry son, I'm going to bring her back" President Dylan promised as he holds Jordan by the shoulder.

I run outside to get my motorbike so I could find her as well. I can't let her be taken away from me as well, I don't think I can handle it.

"C'mon Hailey, hang on!" Jordan shouted as he goes full speed down the street of D.C

President Dylan orders two of his men to follow Jordan and secured him as he tells Brenda that he will make sure that Jordan is safe.

"Protect him" Brenda begs his husband.

Jordan calling Michigan

"C'mon Hailey, answer it! Dammit!"

Twenty and up missed calls and still got no response from her. My heart is pounding with fear and such worriedness. She must be somewhere or this might be a setup or a joke. I don't want to believe it until I received a call from an anonymous number.

"Let's have a Trade"

The anonymous person wants something that I have and the creepiest part of his words is that he got his eyes on me the whole time. It's not a prank call for I heard Michigan yelling for help.

I was trying to rage but at the same time begging and wanting her life to be spared that It led me no choice but to follow it's need.

"I want you to shut your mouth about everything you know with that incident"

Is this true? Someone wants me to zip my mouth for the truth? But why? What's the purpose? Are those two white monsters still hunting me down? Is this possible?

"Everyone whom you will let your mouth spill for the truth after this call will DIE, EVERYONE."

My legs are shaking and I'm all sweating. This is like those threat I've seen in the television. I got speechless as the time ticks for my decision. This is risky than every hard quiz I take during my academic years. It's like the hardest problem with a very confusing formula.
