All of the circus animals went silent. What Alex had just said to Gloria and Melman struck the words from everyone's mouth. Stefano joined those who were silent. Although he was quiet, Stefano knew the deal and moved closer to Alex to hear what he just said.
"I'm sorry what?",he asked.
He was unsure. Alex turned towards Stefano then repeated what he just said to Gloria and Melman. This was the same thing what he had said before.
"Marty's missing.",repeated Alex to Stefano.
Stefano's face dropped and he started gasping in shock.
"Oh..mama mia!",shouted Stefano panicked.
All the other animals had their mouths opened. Then, they started whispering to each other. It was't until Alex's partner, Gia, had came over towards Alex that things started to change. She put a paw on Alex's shoulders down and stare into his eyes for a little while.
"Alex, it's going to be okay. We will find him.",said Gia softly towards Alex.
Alex tried to stop worrying. Once he was staring into the eyes of Gia, he began to smile at her.
