Back Suspicious

[Alice, how is Archer doing?!]

"Sorry, Bella, but Archer's co-workers and I don't know where he is, we're trying to find him!" Alice answered.

[Oh, God! How about this? My husband is missing!?] Bella was crying.

"Bella, take it easy, Bella, trust that Archer will be fine," Alice said.

[How can I calm down, Alice, I don't even know where my husband is? What if he is in danger?!]

"Bella, rest assured, if Archer is okay, you have to be strong for Daniel and Diana, wish Archer the best," Alice pleaded.

She kept trying to calm her old sister down, but Bella still looked unsettled, sobs could still be heard clearly on the phone.

But Alice didn't want to give up, she tried to reassure Bella that Archer was fine.

Slowly but surely Bella finally started to calm down a bit and she ended the call.

"Miss Alice, who called you?" she asked.

"She is my sister, Mrs," Alice answered.

"I heard that something is missing, who is missing? What are your relatives, something is missing too?" she asked.

"Ah yes, Mrs, my brother-in-law suddenly disappeared somewhere. He was on duty in this city, but since last night he seemed to just disappear," said Alice.

"Gosh, I am stupid, I gone and complained to people who are currently in trouble for losing someone. I'm sorry, Miss Alice," Rose lowered her head.

"It's fine, I don't mind Mrs. It's just that I'm a little surprised why we have the same problem. Livy hasn't been found and now my brother-in-law is missing, what's wrong with this town?" Alice cursed.

"I don't know, Miss. I even thought the kidnapper was the same," Rose added.

"Why, Mrs, think that this is all the work of the kidnappers?" Alice asked.

"I don't know either, Miss. But why didn't the police find my daughter, even though I was also distributing pamphlets, and now your brother-in-law is also missing?" concluded Rose.

Alice was still suspicious of Sea. But the suspicion is only about 50 percent. Because it seemed impossible if Sea was the kidnapper. The sea is a very kind, gentle and friendly person.

Of course, it would be impossible if she kidnapped her.

But on the other hand, the only person who last saw Livy and Archer was Sea.

"I can't ask Sea anymore either. Because she'll be mad at me," Alice muttered.

"Miss Alice, what are you talking about?" asked Rose

Instantly Alice blinked rapidly.

"Oh no, Mrs!" Alice answered quickly.

Then Rose opened her cellphone she saw an incoming message and after that, she said goodbye to Alice.

"Miss Alice, I'll excuse myself, because my husband told me to come home immediately," said Rose.

"Ah well, Mrs, be careful on the road," said Alice.

"Very well Miss, thank you again for allowing me to stop by and listen to my complaint,"

"Yes, Mrs, you're welcome," answered Alice with a friendly smile.

The middle-aged woman walked away, while Alice was still standing watching her leave.

In an instant, she remembered what Sea had said earlier. Which suddenly Sea said if she was 'not a killer or a corpse collector'

It felt strange, even though Sea had denied it earlier, but there was still something odd.

Sea's thoughts were too far beyond common sense. Alice was silent for a moment and remembered Sea's words.

"Sea is speaking out of her mind, maybe what she's denying is true," Alice muttered.

"Could it be, Sea...?" Alice narrowed her eyes.

"She is a—"

Alice's body suddenly felt hot with her heart beating very fast.

Alice was at a loss as to what to do, to prove her suspicions because there was no way she would suddenly enter Sea's house for no reason.

If her guess is wrong, and Sea finds out if Alice still suspects her then this can worsen Sea and Alice's relationship.

Alice doesn't want to get into any more trouble, she just lives a quiet life in this town, and slowly forgets about Carlos, but a new problem arises.

"What should I do? And the only person I currently trust is Felix, well! I have to meet him!" Alice immediately grabbed her bike, but sadly she just remembered something...

"Oh my! Why did I just remember? Felix, about to go to Oxford! He's visiting his brother there!"

Alice also gave up, she sat back on the sofa with a disappointed face.

"I can't go to Oxford now, and I can't even see Sea now, I'm afraid she'll be mad at me for suspecting her.

Alice looked agitated and repeatedly scratched her head while biting her nails.

She hoped that there would be a miracle and that she could find some light on this matter.

"Oh my God, please make away,"

Tok! Tok!

"Oh, who is that?" Alice looked surprised.

"Alice!" Someone called her.

"That isn't Felix's voice!" Alice immediately stood up and ran to open the door.

Ceklek!

"Felix! Aren't you going?" Alice asked.

"I'm not going now, maybe the day after tomorrow I'll go there," Felix replied.

"Good, because I have something important to tell you!" said Alice with a panicked face.

"What's wrong, Alice? Why do you look so panicked?" Felix asked.

"Felix, apart from Livy who disappeared, now my brother-in-law is missing too," said Alice.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Felix asked.

Then Alice explained everything to Felix, including her suspicions about Sea.

Even Alice also told Felix, about Sea's behavior which was sometimes very strange, and the bloodstains she had several times found on Sea's clothes.

"Are you sure that Sea is someone who has a mental breakdown and likes to collect corpses?" Felix asked.

"I don't know, actually I'm both sure and unsure about that. But the only person Livy and Archer saw last time was, Sea!" Alice insisted.

"Okay, I will report this to my colleague who is a police officer, hopefully, he can investigate this case," said Felix.

"But please keep my identity a secret, don't tell me I was the first to suspect Sea and report this to you because I don't want my relationship with Sea to be damaged," Alice ordered.

"Relax, Alice, I guarantee your identity will be safe," concluded Felix.

"Thank you, Felix, once again only you can help me,"
