Chapter 277 After getting off the plane, Breanna found herself waiting at the exit for Allison to pick her up. The chilly breeze nipped at her as she stood there for what felt like an eternity-half an hour and still no sign of Allison. Finally, she pulled out her phone to give Allison a call.
To her surprise, a cold, automated voice informed her that the number she dialed was no longer in service. How could the number just go dead like that? They had just talked an hour ago! This didn't sit right with Breanna. Could something have happened to Allison? Unable to reach her by phone, she quickly switched tactics and tried a video call through her messaging app. The call rang out and eventually disconnected on its own. Breanna tried five more times, each tgrowing more anxious as the silence persisted.

Without wasting a second, Breanna jumped online to search for the firm and quickly found their information, including the office's landline number.
She dialed, but the phone just rang and rang. In her panic, Breanna had forgotten it was after business hours and the office would be empty. That call was a dead end.
With no other options, Breanna decided to involve the police. They acted quickly, contacting Allison's family to see if she was truly missing. Javier and Linda, alarmed by the news, immediately started calling Allison's friends, hoping she might be with one of them.
Sabrina was at a bar when her phone buzzed. "No, Allie's not here with me," she replied.
Javier's voice was a mix of urgency and concern, "Can you try to reach her? Allie's phone is out of service." "Uncle, don't worry. I'll try to get in touch with her," Sabrina reassured him.
After hanging up, she attempted to contact Allison herself. Just as vel Javier had described, Allison's phone was unreachable, and messages went unanswered.. Sabrina sensed something was off and quickly relayed the situation to Joshua.
