Chapter 14
Nino Lahiffe passed by in the afternoon by the mansion of the Agreste's to see, if his best friend's wife Kagami Agreste was there. Nino rang on the doorbell, then the door got opened by the new assistant Maria.
"Good afternoon, is Kagami Agreste here?" Nino asked earning a nod from the woman, which opened the door fully back to let Adrien's friend enter.
"Thanks," Nino said walking into the hall, then saw her in the dining room sitting next to Emilie which talked to the younger woman. Nino got into the dining room, then knocked on the arc of the room to call the attention of the two women. "Hey there"
"Have you heard of something?" Emilie asked looking along with Kagami at Nino.
"Not fully, but Adrien seems alright" Nino pointed out. "He called me saying he stuck inside a car trunk and landed in Germany"
"Germany?" Kagami asked surprised. "But how did he land in a car trunk?"
"He didn't manage to continue talking. His smartphone's battery must have come to an end and I tried to call him back, but he never attended it again,"
"Okay at least he's alright," Emilie mentioned. "Difficult would it be for him to get back,"
"There are several trains, coaches, or even flights he could get back here. The only thing he needs is the money"
"If he's got enough money" Kagami pointed out. "Well he sure has his debit card with him, but we don't know the story how he got there,"
"He may have been assaulted in the restroom or his drink had drugs in it and he acted out strange. Not all the guests in the bar are angels,"
"We better wait the next 24 hours to see, if we receive any more messages of Adrien, otherwise we will have to go by ourselves to Germany and help him back home,"
"To Hamburg where he last talked to me are about 10 hours by taking the car" Nino mentioned. "If he manages to find a way to get back, he won't be gone for so long"
"I just hope he gets back here all safe and sound" Kagami lamented, then Nino looked back hearing the door of the entrance close and he saw Adrien Agreste appear along with Gabriel Agreste.
"Thank god you're alright," Gabriel stated watching Nino look at the two blondes confused.
"Dude, how did you get here?" Nino asked surprised.
"Oh Nino, last night was horrifying!" Adrien complained running into the arms of the Moroccan man. Some strange men attacked us on the outside and took us away from the bar. I don't know how, but I managed to escape their hands and they left with their car while taking my beloved cousin Felix…..I've run behind them, but I couldn't hold it up with them and got tired. I was frustrated with what happened and I tried to look for the car and Felix everywhere. I couldn't find him. I don't know, what happened to him,"
"Uh who were those guys?" Nino asked.
"I have no idea, but they were mean!," Adrien complained making Nino furrow his eyebrows at Adrien's scaredy-cat behavior. Emilie and Kagami approached Nino, then Adrien embraced his mother tight making her smile, which patted his son on his head.
"We're going to find Felix, don't worry" Emilie promised while Kagami exchanged looks with Nino.
"Nino had told us you called this morning from Germany and you had been stuck inside a trunk the whole time" Kagami pointed out. "How come you be here right now?"
"Oh Kagami, my beloved wife. I'm sorry I didn't greet you" Adrien added embracing the woman, which widened her eyes in confusion. "I think I didn't make myself clear before with Nino. I meant Hamburg near the rue de Gotlieb I think was the address, where there's this place named Hamburg,"
"Really?" Nino asked trying to remember his conversation from the morning. "Well, so far I know you didn't say Germany,"
"I have to be honest my friend, I didn't really pay attention to the surroundings this morning and believed I wasn't in Paris, but I was. I'm sorry if I caused all of you to be worried about me,"
"I guess it's okay" Nino responded. "But you really sounded worried this morning,"
"Everything is fine" Adrien answered, then Gabriel placed his hand on Adrien's shoulder nodding.
"Well Adrien is, for now, safe and sound, the only thing we need to know is where Felix is," Gabriel mentioned.
"I hope we find him father" Adrien quoted earning a nod from the fashion designer.
"We will don't worry" Gabriel assured the blonde patting him on the back. "If you don't mind, I would love it if you two stay under this roof, for the next time until we find Felix. I don't want any of you to get hurt,"
"Okay" Adrien responded looking at Kagami, which shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm okay with it" Kagami answered earning a smile from Adrien, which gave her a short spank on Kagami's butt shrieking her and he walked into the kitchen.
"I'm going to get some water, is that okay mother?" Adrien asked afterward Emilie followed her son and Kagami looked at Nino a little disturbed, then the Moroccan placed his arm behind Kagami's, then watched Gabriel disappear into his atelier.
"Is it just me or does Adrien have a strange behavior right now?" Nino asked Kagami, which shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know. Could it be possible that he feels traumatized about what he saw?"
"No idea, but we could observe him the next few days" Nino suggested earning a nod from the Japanese woman.
Adrien Agreste, who was stuck in Hamburg walked around the main station of the city on the platform with the trains, which were meant to travel to the outside of the country. He stopped by a row with four ticket automats, then Adrien searched under the door, where the ticket and the change got dropped and he encountered one-cent coin, then sighed.
"Only one euro and seven cents isn't enough" Adrien complained putting it into his pocket, then took out his smartphone trying to turn it on to only show the battery icon blink. Adrien walked further on the platform passing by other pedestrians approaching the end of the railways, where he found another corridor, which leads to the exit of the train station and he left the place to encounter the main road and several buildings next to each other. Adrien saw across the street a man selling hot dogs, causing Adrien's stomach to growl making him lick his lips at seeing the man preparing the hot dog for the man.
"I can't buy food with only one euro" Adrien mentioned, then he widened his eyes as he had an idea and approached a random woman, stopping her from walking. "Excuse me, where's the Swedish furniture shop?"
"It's at the Altona Altstadt" The woman answered. "If you've got your smartphone I can give you the address,"
"Yes, but the problem is my phone's charge is dead and I can't find a way to contact my friends or use twint to pay for my food" Adrien explained. "The furniture shop is the only place where I can use this one euro coin to buy at least a hot dog"
"Oh if you're hungry I can at least buy you something to eat there at the hot dog stand" The woman offered. "Are you from Sweden?
"Uh, no France" Adrien responded. "You don't recognize me from anywhere I guess?"
"Uhm no, do I have?"
"Not really" Adrien answered. "I thought someone could, but I guess in Germany no one has heard of me or has forgotten about me,"
"It depends" The woman pointed out. "But if I had to look, who you are I would find you on the internet, right?"
"Yeah. If you type Adrien Agreste you'll see old pictures of me" Adrien explained earning a nod from the woman, which typed down his name to search for him and encountered many images of Adrien modeling for magazines, ads, and beneficial reasons.
"Okay I still have no idea, who you are, but as I see, you're famous," The woman noticed. "But what happened to you? Did you lose your wallet?"
"More my money and credit card was stolen as I was set unconscious back at the bar,"
"Okay, I will get you a hot dog, just wait here and I'll bring you one" The woman answered earning a nod from the blonde.
"Thank you very much Miss" Adrien answered making the woman smile and make her way towards the stand to order for the blonde a hot dog. Adrien smiled, then leaned his back on a pol to wait. Adrien saw beside him a long thread appear and he glanced down at the ground to see the thread belonged to a long dog leash and he saw in front of his feet a small trio-colored dog with the fur-coloring resembling a Beagle sniffing Adrien's shoes making the blonde smile.
"Hey, little guy" Adrien greeted the dog, which moved the butt towards Adrien crouching down to pee on Adrien's shoe. "Hey!" Adrien complained stepping away and the dog looked up at Adrien, which was annoyed at the dog's incident and Adrien looked around to see a tan-skinned man with the exact same clothing style of him appear placing his hand on the collar of the dog.
"Scarlett, bad girl!" The man scolded the dog, which sank the head from having done a bad thing. "You can't pee on the feet of people"
"Your clothing is nice" Adrien mentioned watching the man look up, then he widened his eyes as he recognized the fake-blonde man. "Hey, aren't you that fanboy that used tp run behind me in the city?" Adrien asked.
"Adrien Agreste?" The man repeated widening his eyes at recognizing his idol. "Oh my god, how long has it been since we saw us together?" The man shouted hugging the blonde.
"Do you live here, Wayhem…..that's your name, right?" Adrien asked earning a nod from the tan-skinned man.
"You even remember my name. Awesome!"
"I know yeah…..look, do you live here?" Adrien asked making Wayhem shake his head.
"No, yesterday was the concert of a band I like and I'm here until tomorrow night" Wayhem answered. "What is my favorite man doing out here?"
"Hehe. It's a funny story. I can tell it to you later, I'm currently waiting for lunch" Adrien pointed out at the woman, which watched the man finishing the hot dog for the woman.
"Adrijana is your girlfriend?" Wayhem asked surprised making Adrien look bewildered at the fanboy.
"Oh the woman there….no, she said she would buy me a hot dog as my money had been stolen,"
"Oh okay, I didn't know, this happened to you" Wayhem mentioned.
"It's fine. Hey uhm one question. Have you got a charger for my smartphone here?" Adrien asked showing the phone to the blonde.
"I've left it at the hotel" Wayhem answered. "Do you need it?"
Adrien nodded, then the woman whose name was Adrijana according to Wayhem appeared with the hot dog and handed it out to the former model.
"Thank you. I wish I could repay you this" Adrien avowed accepting the hot dog.
"I could give her the money for it and you could repay it in the end to me, when you find your money again," Wayhem suggested noticing his dog Scarlet lick the wet shoe of Adrien. "Scarlet don't do that. Adrien might not like it,"
"I think she just wants to say sorry" Adrien mentioned watching the puppy look up at the blonde wagging her tail waiting for him to share the hot dog with her.
"No Scarlet the food is for Adrien, not for you"
"I may give you something later, don't worry" Adrien promised with a chuckle.
"Alright, finish your lunch and I'll bring you to the hotel room, so you can get the charger" Wayhem decreed to the blonde, which nodded while taking a bite of the sausage.
