You're Out Daddy

Chapter 406

“What's the matter?” Benjamin asked Anthony.

“I can't get through again!” Anthony cried out anxiously.

“What did Nat say?” Benjamin then asked.

With a frown, Anthony muttered, “There's something in my head telling me that Nat's message means

something else. It's as if she's trying to inform us about something...”

Even though he did not finish his sentence, Benjamin understood what he was trying to say.

Both boys paled, and Benjamin asked, “Were we too hasty to tell Nat about the news?”

“We were, but at the very least, Nat will be mentally prepared. If we didn't do that, I'm afraid she might

end up too trusting with others!” Anthony stated.

“Now what?” Benjamin mumbled.

“Let's go back to the room and think about it before anything else.”

Thus, the two boys returned to the room and began pacing.

A while later, Benjamin chirped, “What we should do right now is to look for Nat first.”

Sitting in front of the computer, Anthony solemnly replied, “That's easier said than done. Do you think

Nat's that easy to find?”

Benjamin frowned. “What about Daddy? Has he heard anything about Nat yet?”

Narrowing his eyes at the mention of Kenneth, Anthony shook his head. “I don't know, but probably

not.”

“Why don't we make a call and ask him about it?” the other boy suggested.

Anthony mulled over that for a while before replying, “You do it.”

Drawing his brows together, Benjamin remarked after a while, “Fine.” With that, he took the phone and

went to the side.

Benjamin felt as though he had some kind of communication disorder as he stared at Kenneth's

number; he kept constructing and deconstructing the sentences he was about to say to Kenneth.

Meanwhile, Kenneth was sitting in front of the computer with Dave as they watched Miguel work away.

His eyes were narrowed as he asked, “How is it?”

“I can't find it. I've been searching on both routes, but I can't find anything.”

“Are you sure?” Kenneth questioned.

Miguel never stopped typing as he replied, “I'm sure. I've looked through each and every one of them,

and I haven't missed out on anything...”

Right then, Miguel paused and began frowning at the computer.

“What's wrong?”

“I think I've found out the reason,” Miguel stated.

“Which is?”

Miguel's fingers flew across the keyboard again. Things popped up and disappeared on the screen.

Soon, a window appeared in front of them.

“Look here. There is a gap between the surveillance footage's time, and it's about fifteen seconds. That

means someone has done something to the footage before we accessed it,” Miguel explained.

Kenneth studied the footage for a while before realizing that Miguel was right. The frames did not quite

link up, and there was a fifteen-second gap.

“So you mean to say that someone has deleted fifteen seconds of the footage?” Kenneth asked.

Miguel nodded. “That's right.”

Kenneth then narrowed his eyes and mulled over something.

Just then, Dave came over to look at him. “J, the men have reported that they've combed through the

spot you've said. They found nothing.”

A grim look flashed past Kenneth's face when he heard that. He could not bring himself to believe that

Natasha would disappear just like that.

To his knowledge of Natasha's character, she was bound to be living in the area where she had

appeared twice in. However, he had failed to find her.

Kenneth continued to stare at the computer screen as he thought about those things. At that moment, a

thought popped into his head. “Say, do both routes have dozens of seconds of a gap, or is it just this

footage?”

Miguel quickly pulled up another footage. Ten minutes later, he replied, “The rest are fine. It's just this

one footage.”

“Does that mean she has gone in this direction, and that's why the footage is missing a section?”

Kenneth analyzed.

Dave inclined his head. “Yes, that's correct.”

Miguel then leaned forward and rapidly typed away. “I'll continue to search this route and see if I find

out anything else.”

A glint flashed past Kenneth's eyes as he watched Miguel work away.

Dave was right beside Kenneth, so he could see the anxious look the latter had on his face.

Right then, Kenneth's phone rang.

He promptly took out his phone. When he saw it was a call from Benjamin, he stood up and moved to

the side to pick up the call.

“Hello?”

“Daddy,” Benjamin started.

“What's wrong?”

Despite having mentally prepared himself for the call, Benjamin found his mind going completely blank.

“What's wrong?” Kenneth repeated when he heard no sounds from the other end of the line.

In the end, Benjamin straightforwardly said, “I-I just wanted to ask if you've found Nat.”

Kenneth was quiet for a while before he answered, “Not yet.”

“No news at all?”

“Not exactly. There's something we're on. Soon, I'll be able to find her,” Kenneth informed.

“Really?”

“I almost met her at a place I ate the other day, but I missed her by just a while. Nevertheless, I know

she's near me. I'll be able to find her soon!”

Benjamin was thrilled to hear that. “You saw Nat?”

“My friend did,” Kenneth corrected.

“And?”

“And Nat disappeared. She's quite wary, and I think she's just protecting herself. But don't worry, I'll find

her soon,” Kenneth reassured.

“Daddy, remember to tell us when you find Nat,” Benjamin uttered.

“Okay.”

“Okay, Daddy. Stay safe too.”

“Of course.” Kenneth nodded.

“If there isn't anything else... I'll end the call first.”

“Benjamin!”

“Hm?”

“I'm glad to receive your call,” Kenneth said to the boy.

Benjamin froze, for he never expected Kenneth to say that.

After that, Kenneth continued, “Come to me anytime you need anything. I'll do it even if I'm not home.”

“Got it,” came Benjamin's answer before he quickly ended the call.

Kenneth stared at the dimmed screen as emotions washed over his heart.

Seemingly having thought about something, he then took a deep breath and kept his phone before

walking back.

When he returned, Dave was sitting on the chair, leaning back lazily. The moment Dave saw Kenneth,

he could not help but tease, “J, don't tell me you have another woman.”

Kenneth frowned at that. “What nonsense are you going on about?”

“Who else would you be calling in such a gentle tone? That wasn't like you at all,” Dave pointed out.

Kenneth's frown deepened, but he did not bother with much explanation. “It's from home.”

“Rubbish,” Dave replied.

Right then, Miguel asked, “Is your family in Spaunia too, Mr. Hamilton?”

“No, they're in Glenport City.”

“Huh? That can't be. The call came from within Spaunia,” Miguel said.

“What do you mean?”

Dave turned to Miguel as well. “Are you sure you're not making a mistake about this?”

Miguel typed away on the keyboard for a while. Once he was sure that he had not made a mistake, he

uttered, “I'm sure about it. The one on the other end of the line didn't set a virtual address, so I can see

their actual location. I've set up a call tracking for LAN, and although I can't see the exact location, I can

see the general area. Your call earlier had connected to the internet, so I saw the location of the call,

and it was within Spaunia.”

After hearing that, Kenneth knitted his brows. “So the one who called me earlier is from within

Spaunia?”

Miguel nodded. “Yes.”

Instantly, Kenneth's dark eyes narrowed.

The two kids are here?
