It was around 10:09 pm and Cheng was sitting on the couch with his mother Jing while she read her favorite novel.

"How can you read and listen to the news at the same time?"

"It's called multitasking son. Maybe you should try it"

"Sure"

"In more tragic news, The body of a young American girl was found in a dumpster outside of a Walmart"

"That poor girl. I can't imagine how her family and friends feel"

"The young lady was identified as Haper Destiny. She was a foreign exchange student from America" the reported said. Cheng knew that the dead girl had nothing to do with Vanessa and Kiara, but he could not help the worry that was building inside of him.

What if that was Kiara?
She works late hours and walks home alone
And Leia! She may not be American but still
Shit! What if Vanessa got home late tonight

Cheng quickly pulled out his phone and pulled up his texting app.

Kiara𓅓

Hey, are you home yet?
Hello??
Kiara??

Cheng began to panic at the thought of something happening to Kiara

Is she ok?

He tried calling her, but to no avail.

Answer the phone!

I was taking a shower!
What do you want?

Nothing

Bullshit
Answer the question

Just making sure you got home safely

Am I on your mind ;)

I just wanted to be sure you got home
Drop it or I'm blocking you

Cheng then switched from texting Kiara to Vanessa.
