"Missing?" What does he mean? How could he jump to a conclusion like that all of a sudden, especially when Shiny just talked to her not long before.

"Excuse me?" Shiny asked
"Yeah, what do you mean missing?" Andy continued.

Andy puts the call on speaker so Shiny gets to hear what Kuro has to say.

"Dokki is supposed to be home an hour ago."
"Maybe she was going somewhere urgent..?"
"She could at least tell me in advance... I'm worried for her..."
"Did you tell others about this?"
"Yeah and all their answers are the same: nothing."
"Have you reported this to the police or something?"
"Not yet."
"Don't worry, we'll meet up there."

Kuro hangs up. Andy looks over to Shiny and see her worried frown. She didn't know what happened backstage, so all she can do at the moment is be the light of the moment.
The two rushed outside the shop, completely forgetting their orders. They  made their way outside beneath the pouring rain. They stayed for about a minute, waiting for a cab to pick them up. It wasn't for them to realized that nobody would be outside at this time and weather. So, they rushed down the road to their local police department. Andy knew a shortcut that would save them 5 minutes, so she led the way. It was difficult for Shiny to focus on running because all the thoughts flooded her head. She blamed herself for the terrible news that had come to her loved one. If it wasn't for her, Dokki wouldn't have ran away. Her vision started getting blurry, and her hearing became muffled. Till all of a sudden, she can only hear is high pitch ringing on her left ear. She gained consciousness not long after because Andy has been tugging her sweater and shaking her vigourously. It seems that she went too far beyond the trail that they were supposed to be heading to.

"Ey, you there?" Andy asked.
"Oh, sorry I dozed out." Shiny shrugged.
"Yeah... Running with an empty stomach isn't such a good idea..."
"That doesn't matter to me right now."
"If you say so.."

The two continued running, till they finally reached the station. Kuro was already there waiting for them. And behind him were two officers, they seemed to be busy.

"Okay... we're here..!" Andy struggles to speak while catching her breath from running.
"That was quick..!" Kuro exclaimed.
"Yeah, we took a shortcut.."
"Huh. Anyways, take a seat. They'll be with us in a sec."

Kuro moves a few chairs aside and pats the seats. Andy and Shiny takes a seat. Andy notices her chair is squeaking and decides to rock it like an old man in his rusty rocking chair. Minutes pass and an officer walks by.

"Excuse me, sir, about the missing person..."
"We have informed the other officers about this, we'll take care of this."
The three sighed simultaneously.
"You two should be heading back home. It's curfew time."
The officer points at both Andy and Shiny.
"Don't worry, I can take you both home." He continues.

The officer invited the three teenagers inside to his car. They seemed to be confused at first but the officer gave them an assured grin and hopped inside.
