The old brothers and sisters of the orphanage continued staring at the large room in pain. The sight of the empty beds and the damaged wall reminded them of what had happened during the night, and nobody seemed to know what to say.David slowly shook his head."It hurts me so much that this happened to those little children," he said sadly. "This is where we grew up. Not once did a child go missing from this place when we were growing up here."Everyone around him nodded in agreement."You are right," one of them replied. "This place was like our home.""Exactly," another person added. "We may have grown up and moved away, but we can never forget this place."Johnson remained quiet. His fingers were still around the bracelet he had found. He occasionally opened his palm and looked at the logo before closing his hand again.He was still trying to remember where he had seen it.Just then, Charles stepped forward and stood beside Mrs. Horton."Everyone, please listen to me," he said lou

Johnson was completely unconcerned about what Charles was saying. His attention remained fixed on the bracelet in his hand. The bold logo on it continued to disturb his mind, and the more he looked at it, the stronger the feeling became that he had seen it somewhere before. He slowly turned the bracelet around between his fingers and sighed. Where have I seen this logo before? he asked himself, but no matter how hard he searched his memory, nothing came to him.Charles noticed that Johnson seemed confused and assumed that he was simply unable to contribute anything to the discussion. He cleared his throat and addressed everyone again."Okay, listen to me, everyone. Just like our mother, Mrs. Horton has already said, we need to put all our differences aside and focus on bringing our missing brothers and sisters back home.” “This is not the time for competition or unnecessary arguments. If you have a way of helping, please help. But if you have nothing to contribute to this matter,

Everyone turned toward the entrance of the cafeteria when they heard the sound of footsteps approaching. A beautiful young lady walked inside with a bright smile on her face. She looked calm and confident, and the way she carried herself made almost everyone stop whatever they were doing. Some people immediately began trying to recognize her, while others whispered among themselves because her face looked familiar.The lady walked straight toward Mrs. Horton. As she came closer, Mrs. Horton stared at her for a few seconds. Then her eyes widened in surprise.“Mia, is that you?” Mrs. Horton asked.“Yes, Mom. It is me,” Mia replied with a smile. “I am so sorry for coming here late. I was involved in a car accident yesterday, and I wanted to get my car fixed before coming over.”The smile on Mrs. Horton's face disappeared immediately. Her usual motherly concern returned. Whenever something happened to any of the children, she became extremely worried, even when the situation was not as

The cafeteria became completely silent after Gibson Mencho made it clear that he had come because of Johnson.Everyone was still trying to understand what was happening, but Johnson and Gibson did not seem concerned about the whispers or the confused looks around them.Gibson already understood why everyone was confused. He knew that the old brothers and sisters of the orphanage did not know who Johnson really was.They only knew him as the quiet young man who had grown up with them in the orphanage. They had no idea about the position he held or the people who respected him.Gibson himself had once made the same mistake.He remembered the first time he met Johnson. He had looked at him and believed that he was just another young man without influence.He had never imagined that someone like King Bazz could be loyal to Johnson. The moment Gibson discovered that King Bazz respected Johnson and was willing to stand behind him, his entire understanding of Johnson changed.Since that day,

There was silence from the other end of the phone. Johnson and Gibson Mencho also remained quiet as they waited for Olivera's response.They could hear some faint voices moving around in the background, but nobody said anything clearly. Gibson stared at the phone with a serious expression, while Johnson watched him carefully, waiting to hear what Olivera would say.After several seconds, Olivera cleared his throat loudly enough for his voice to be heard clearly through the phone."Mr. Gibson, are you sure the bracelet you found at the scene belongs to my boys and that it has my logo on it?"Gibson's expression immediately became harder."You fool! Have I ever lied to you before?" he asked angrily. "How dare you question what I have seen with my own eyes and what I am telling you?"Olivera quickly became nervous."I'm sorry, sir. Please forgive me. I did not mean to question you.""You should be careful with your words when you speak to me," Gibson replied coldly."Yes, sir. I sincerel
