OMNISCIENT

Once the show was over, the gang were waiting for Alena to wrap her post show evaluation, assuming she won't have anything else afterwards and they can all go straight home or get something to eat because some of the were starving.

They were waiting around the backstage near the artists area. The boys got into talking with J Balvin and Bad Bunny who were featured artists in the Halftime Show. It was a statement since the show was dominated with Latin artists and being known for it as well, the boys felt really proud about it and who knows, maybe it'll be them being featured or performing up there in the near future.

"Where is she?" Isa restlessly asked Jose and Kenny who was with her. They shook their head and looked around still. When Isa went on her phone, the two shared looks since they and Zabdiel were the only ones who knew about Sebastian's possible plan.

"Hey," Joel greeted the trio, walked over to Isa and put his hands on her shoulder. "She isn't here yet?"

Isa shook her head and saw the others behind him. She also noticed Zabdiel was more quiet compared to the other three. "I thought you went to get her after going to the artists lounge."

"Nah they still have eval, the room was still crowded." Richard answered based on what he saw when passing the bigger hall earlier. Isa nodded and she went to talk with Joel. Richard went into a conversation with Erick and Chris while Zabdiel was with Jose and Kenny.

"Did you see Santiago anywhere?" Jose asked Zabdiel, he shook his head. "I think he's still in the evaluation, if Richard said the dancers are still in evaluation then he should be in there."

Jose rolled his eyes. He was restless himself knowing what had happened to Alena before with Sebastian, especially after the diner incident many months ago which was when he last saw him.

Let alone Zabdiel. When he finally confronted Santiago about their encounter at the gym, he didn't say anything just that Sebastian would be at the show and he'd have easier access to her.

With that fact confirmed when they saw him on stage, Zabdiel grew more and more anxious and couldn't wait to get Alena out of there and safe from harms.

They were all still talking when a big group of people walked out from the big hall. They looked around for any familiar faces but so far they had no luck.

Until Zabdiel noticed a few of Alena's friends from her team. "Lucy!" He shouted and the girl stopped to turn around. She smiled at the sight of him.

"Hey Zab, what are you doing here?" she asked, "waiting for Alena, where is she?"

"Oh, we actually got separated before eval since I got called by one of the backstage crew, I'm sure she's around here somewhere." Zabdiel grew more and more nervous, he had a feeling that something wasn't right.

"Don't worry Zab, she's probably getting a head start to the dressing room. We're going there now and we'll check on her. We'll let her know that you're waiting here okay?"

Zabdiel lightly smiled at her assuring words. "Thanks Lucy." She smiled in return.

"No problem, I'll catch you later." Lucy said one more time before walking away with her friends.

Zabdiel went back to the rest of the rest of the gang and told then what Lucy said. They continued to wait.

About 40 something minutes later, they were waiting in the parking lot in 3 separate cars right next to each other. Zabdiel were on his phone when he was startled by a knock on his side of the window.

"Lucy what is it?" He immediately opened the door to when he noticed the familiar girl had a frantic look on her.

"Lena isn't here by any chance is she? We couldn't find her anywhere but some of her stuff are still here."
