Nickel hang up the phone then proceed to the security office of Serenity Condominium. He wanted to see if what had happened the night Zoey was missing.Zoey isn"t the type of person who goes out late at night just to have fun or to meet people. That is why when Alfie told him that the last time that he saw her was the time he dropped her off into their building; he immediately accepted his story wholeheartedly.
He requested to see the CCTV footage last night, hoping that it will help them find where she is.
Frame by frame Nickel watched the footages carefully.

After learning what had happened, Alfie hurriedly packs his things and tried to check Zoey"s favorite places. She might just visit them and that she wasn"t actually missing or taken forcefully by someone.
"That plate number seems familiar to me. Where did I see it before?" Alfie pulled his hair down expecting that it will help him remember where he had seen it.
"AHHHHHH!" he exclaimed.
From cafes to malls, or to salons that she frequently in, none of it shows any signs of Zoey. He even visited Mr. and Mrs. Alcantara. Alfie was still torn whether he should tell them the situation or to make things clear first before broadcasting the situation to the victim"s family.
He remembered Nickel"s request, to not tell everyone until the circ.u.mstances that Zoey was kidnapped was final. He doesn"t wasn"t to make another worry.
Alfie was already confused about what to do. This is a serious matter to handle so he made up his mind and told Mr. and Mrs. Alcantara that their daughter is missing.
Both they slammed the floor after hearing the bad news. They didn"t expect that this thing does happen in real life and worst is that it happened to their child.
They immediately called the police for a.s.sistance to find Zoey as soon as possible. Mr. Alcantara also used all his connections to help them locate Zoey before the day ends, hoping that they can find her.
Zick, who just heard the news from Manang, also arrived at the residence with his lab coat and surgical gloves and mask. He was worried about his sister that he forgot to change his clothes before driving home.
Everyone inside the house has a heavy heart for the missing member of the family. No one dared to talk all except Zick.
"Does Nickel knew about it?" he angrily asked.
No one tried to answer him because worrying for Zoey exert too much energy fro the three elders in the house.
Zick turned his head to Alfie hoping that he can answer him.
"He did. He"s the one who told me that Zoey wasn"t in her home today." Alfie was a shame for believing that it was Zoey who he was talking to this morning. If only he tried to go up and check on her he would the first person to know that Zoey wasn"t sick and wasn"t inside her room.
"Why didn"t he told anyone from this family? Does he think he already had the rights to decide what is good and not for Zoey?"
Even Mr. Alcantara who was very in favor of Nickel starts to doubt his mind about the lad.
"Nickel probably had a reason for not sharing this news to us." Manang tried to save Nickel out of that situation.
"He called around quarter to six and asked for Zoey. As what Alfie had told a while ago, the lad just arrived home an hour before called. I think it wasn"t his intention to keep it for himself." It would the first time that Manang tried to defend other kids aside from the two Alcantara.
"Don"t easily jump into conclusions Ziccolo," Fatima warned her son.
