Chapter 13
Nino stood at the bar chatting with the barista as the major part of the guests were at the dance floor dancing.
"I sat there three hours straight watching that movie and I cried like a baby at the end" The barista stated to the brunette man, which nodded.
"Yeah, those Bollywood movies really know how to touch someone this deep" Nino agreed from hearing the story of his work pal. "Last time Alya and I watched one with a love triangle and I almost cried at the start of it as Roshan's wife died,"
"Yes it was a really tragic and well-made scene"
"Yeah" Nino agreed then checked the time on his smartphone and widened his eyes at how much time had passed since Adrien and Felix left for the bathroom. "Dude, it's been an hour since my friends went to the restrooms. That stain must be really hard to get off,"
"Maybe you need to check on them. Something could have happened to them or they're feeling bad or anything. I would really go and check it out"
"Yes I'm going to do that" Nino mentioned walking around the crowd to head to the restroom of the men, then entered into it to only see a man standing a little dizzy in front of the urinal peeing almost out of it, making Nino roll his eyes at the drunk state of the guest. "Yo Adrien, Felix are you two alright?" Nino asked hearing no one respond back. "Maybe they in the middle of the crowd" Nino mentioned then walked towards the exit, which got opened and Nino encountered the owner of the bar dressed as a barista and Nino smiled at recognizing the man. "Hey boss, you're here too"
"Yes, Nino" The man answered. "You're having fun?"
"Yes, I am. Look you know the blonde Adrien Agreste, the son of Gabriel Agreste?"
"Yes, I do" The boss responded. "You were controlled along with him at the entrance according to Pierre,"
"Indeed. Have you seen Adrien? He went to the toilet along with his cousin and I haven't seen them ever again"
"Well no, but maybe Pierre saw them leaving" The boss mentioned. "Inside the club, I haven't seen them in the last ten minutes,"
"Okay, I'm going to ask him," Nino said speeding across the hall to the exit, where the two securities stood and Nino tapped on the shoulder of a tall, muscular man. "Pierre, did you see Adrien Agreste leaving?"
"No Nino. He hasn't left yet,"
"That's strange" Nino mentioned. "How can't I find him in there?"
"I don't know"
"There's something fishy here," Nino said watching Pierre take out his smartphone and call someone on it.
"Hey, I need you to check where the guest Adrien Agreste has been seen last time," Pierre asked, then waited for the person on the other side to search for information of the blonde. "At 23:12 he was seen entering into the restroom the last time and until now he hasn't been seen leaving it,"
"So the only way the two could have left would be the window?" Nino recalled earning a nod from the security. "But why would he do that?"
"I don't know that"
"Well thank you for the help. I will see, if I can call him" Nino said taking his smartphone out to search Adrien's phone number, then pressed the call button waiting for him to attend it, but it took long and Nino gave up. "Okay, I will try to call Kagami instead" Nino surfed down his list and pressed on Kagami's phone number to call her. "Finally someone answers it,"
"What's going on Nino?"
"Sorry for calling you so late, but I wanted to ask you if Adrien and Felix were by your house?"
"No. None of the two are here" Kagami answered. "Why? What happened?"
"To be honest I don't know it either. The two left for the restroom and they vanished. The only possibility according to the surveillance as they're only shown entering the restroom. There was an open window in the restroom with enough space for people to leave if they want to,"
"Why would they leave through the window?"
"I don't know, that's what's worrying me. I have no idea, why they would do that. It doesn't make sense,"
"Do you think something happened to them?"
"I have no idea, he doesn't attend my call" Nino explained. "I will check the surroundings out to see if I find something"
"Send me your location, I will come with you"
"Okay, see you later" Nino finished the call, then ran around the building to look for anyone, but only encountered the parking spot behind the building, then ran behind the cars to check out for any signs of the two cousins.
Adrien lied inside the trunk of his father's car with his eyes closed, then slowly began to wake up from his sleep lifting his head up to hit it on the hard cover of the door.
"Ouch….." Adrien complained followed by a groan, then he saw he lied inside a dark place, which seemed familiar to him. "What is this?" Adrien slowly lifted his head to avoid hitting it again, then he began to palpate around his head and grab on something and he pulled it down and he recognized it as the warning triangle of a car. Adrien realized he was stuck inside a car, then began to hammer on the door for help.
"Hey! Get me out of here!" Adrien barked hitting harder on the material of the car. "Help me! I'm stuck! Anyone, please!" Adrien begged unhappy about his whereabouts. "Get me out of here! Please!" Adrien complained leaning his head on the ground. "Help!….."
Back in Paris Nino and Kagami entered back into the commune to catch Kim and Alya awake leaned towards the couch of the living room.
"And?" Kim asked.
"Have you find them?" Alya added watching Nino shake his head.
"We've been looking for them for almost two hours with no success. We've tried to call him too, but his number cannot be reached,"
"That's awful" Kim mentioned. "I hope nothing bad happened to them"
"Do Adrien's parents know about it?" Alya asked. "They could be there"
"I didn't have their phone number to ask"
"But I can ask" Kagami mentioned taking out her smartphone to look for the phone number of the house of the Agreste's then pressed on the call button waiting for someone to answer. After almost two minutes Kagami managed to reach someone and spoke. "Good night Mrs. Agreste it's Kagami here. I'm sorry to interrupt your sleep, but Nino went out with Adrien and Felix. Are they there with you?"
"No, only me at the moment. Why?"
"Nino told me he couldn't find Adrien and Felix anywhere and I came to help him and we couldn't find them anywhere and the surveillance camera from the bar they visited with Nino only showed them disappear in the restroom and never get out. I have no idea, what to do" Kagami confessed a little jittery, then Nino placed his hand on her shoulder. "We've spent two hours trying to find them, but we couldn't find them anywhere,"
"Where are you, sweetie,"
"At our commune"
"Okay look I will see if Gabriel knows something. He didn't come back yet from his appointment" Emilie explained. "Pass by later by us and we'll see, what we can do together,"
"Yes"
"I'm sure they're out somewhere and will come back. This might just be a misunderstanding,"
"I'm not sure"
"Shhh don't worry. Everything will be fine, just have faith in it"
"Thank you" Kagami said then Emilie turned the call down and Kagami sat down on the couch worried about not knowing where her husband is.
"We better sleep here in the living room with her to give her company" Alya suggested sitting down next to Kagami, which had covered her eyes feeling bad about what happened.
"I will send everyone a note to know this" Kim said walking back into his bedroom picking up his smartphone to type down a message.
"I really want to know, where my dude is" Nino mentioned looking at Alya, which felt bad about the situation as the others and tried to comfort Kagami.
Inside the car trunk Adrien lied over his arms annoyed with his imprisonment inside the vehicle for hours listening to a foreign car engine sensing, that the car was being taken by another one as he couldn't feel the car he was in with its own engine turned on. Adrien heard the vehicle squeak a little as it braked, thereafter it turned off its engine and pushed its handbrake.
"Finally" Adrien wailed, then heard two voices from the outside, which he couldn't recognize from anywhere. "Hey! Get me out of here!" Adrien shouted. "Help me!"
"Did you hear that?" A male voice asked.
"I think so" The second man answered.
"I'm here in the trunk! I'm stuck!" Adrien shouted and knocked on the door. "Get me out of here"
"It's coming from the car," A man said, then Adrien heard someone knock on the door of the trunk.
"Please help me out of here. I have no idea, who brought me here"
"Eren, can you open the door"?
"I don't have the key" The man named Eren responded. "How did you get in there man?"
"I don't know" Adrien responded. "I was at the bar and the last thing I remember was my cousin trying to suffocate me with toilet paper,"
"I believe we've caught the car of a bad guy" A man said, then Adrien sighed at the two men, that were taking longer with the help.
"Look, the car isn't locked up" Eren mentioned opening a door, then Adrien knocked again on the door of the trunk and finally Adrien could see the light as the second man opened the door trunk to see Adrien put his head up to catch fresh air.
"Finally!" Adrien yelled shrieking the man, that had freed him.
"How did you get in there?" The man mentioned, then Adrien placed his hand on his forehead flinching as he passed his finger on his eyebrow.
"Ouch" Adrien complained passing his finger over it feeling something crusty over his eyebrow. "What is this?"
"Dry blood I'd say," The man answered.
"Fuck, how did this happen?" Adrien asked climbing out of the car, then fell down at the ground as he hadn't realized the car was on the truck's platform.
"Watch out, friend" Eren warned seeing Adrien get up from the floor. "Where am I?" Adrien asked looking at the surroundings to see a long complicated word on their truck from the company. A…...b…..ssssssstsch…...uh what language is this?" Adrien asked. "Where am I?"
"Let me guess your home is Paris, right?" The man asked earning a nod from Adrien.
"Yeah" Adrien answered.
"Well, you're a little far from your home right now,"
"So where am I?" Adrien asked watching Eren jump down of the truck.
"You're in Hamburg" Eren answered.
"Hamburg?" Adrien asked earning a nod from the man with the three-day-beard. "Germany?"
"Yep"
"Uh…..well…..but I don't understand, why did you tow my father's car away up to Germany?" Adrien asked making the two men switch looks and Eren closed the trunk to notice the car had a French license plate.
"Oh, we did a big mistake" Eren mentioned. "That wasn't the car we had to tow,"
"Alright, well happens. Hey, is in the near here a train station or something?" Adrien asked earning a nod from Eren.
"Yes, down there is a bus stop, where you can take it to the train station"
"Thanks, I'm going to check it out" Adrien answered, then he walked away taking out his smartphone to see it was 8 am in the morning. "Ugh I can't believe it, why did Felix do such a thing?" Adrien asked himself noticing on the top of his display the service bars appear and raise up to five, afterward he received four messages announcing he had missed calls. "Oh boy" Adrien unlocked his smartphone to see each two missed calls coming from Nino and Kagami.
"2 am and 3 am. Nino sure noticed me gone at the bar and Kagami must have heard it from Nino" Adrien pressed on Nino's phone number to call him, then Nino attended it making Adrien feel relieved. "Nino!"
"Adrien my dude, is that really you?" Nino asked. "Finally you've answered. Where the hell are you?"
"Nino you won't believe it what happened. I'm in Hamburg"
"Hamburg? What the hell are you doing there?"
"I was stuck inside the trunk of my father's car and it got towed all over here" Adrien explained. "I haven't asked why, but apparently they mistook the car for another one,"
"That's weird. Glad to know you're alright. We were all worried about you, mostly your mom and Kagami. Kagami even stood the whole night awake as she couldn't fall asleep not knowing, where you were,"
"She must be working right now. I saw missed calls from her. Tell her I'm alright and I'm trying to find a way back home really quick" Adrien mentioned.
"She will happy to know that"
"Hey I'm going to call her, she sure has her phone around her"
"Yes do that and….."
"Huh Nino?" Adrien asked taking his smartphone down to see his screen black and the battery symbol blink making Adrien groan annoyed as he saw his smartphone had no battery. "Are you kidding me?" Adrien complained pressing the side button of his smartphone to turn it on, but it lighted up again the battery icon. "Gosh, I should have my contact list next time here with me…...my wallet!" Adrien shouted and searched on all of his pockets for his wallet, but he couldn't find and ran back at the tow truck of the German company and got up on the platform to check the trunk to encounter his wallet there and he opened it with a smile, soon he lost it as he saw his money and credit card was missing along with his phone numbers list, only things that remained were his driver license and train pass. "Felix, if you did all this I hope you really had a good explanation for this" Adrien complained looking up angered with the current situation.
