" We asked the neighbours and they confirmed that Eric did come back home "
" Are you sure of what you are saying ? "
" Yes Officer "
" We will have to confirm and thoroughly investigate this issue "
" Please do everything you can to find him "
" I assure you that we would do just that , We will bring Eric back safely "
°°°°
" Wait ! If Eric did come back home , then why did his uncle tell us that he didn't return "
" That is true "
" Officer ! "
" We confirmed the story , Eric did actually come back home at exactly 6:06 pm but no one saw him leave the vicinity "
" Eric's uncle told us that he didn't return home . Does it mean that he lied to us ? "
" But why would he lie ? "
" Maybe he is hiding something "
" Something smells fishy "
" Well , it could be possible that his uncle is involved in his disappearance but we can't just come to a conclusion just yet . Everyone is a suspect , so it's possible but we will have to find out . Thank you for your time and cooperation "
" Thank you officer "
°°°°
" I still don't get why Eric's uncle lied "
" You heard the officer , everyone is a suspect "
" But even if it's true that he is involved in Eric's disappearance , why would he do that to his nephew ? Eric is his nephew for Christ sake ! "
" Maybe he has a grudge "
" Or maybe he knows what happened exactly but he is been threatened by the mastermind to keep his mouth shut "
" Guys ! Stop making up stories ! We have no evidence whatsoever to back it up "
" But there are possibilities "
" Let's not get to a conclusion , allow the police to do their job . All we need now is to pray that we get to the bottom of this "

" Hey guys "
" Any update ? "
" Eric's uncle was invited to the police station for question and of course he denied having a hand in the disappearance of Eric . They let him go anyways "
" What are we going to do now ? It has been a week since Eric was last seen "
" I have been doing my own investigation . I have found out from his neighbours that Mr Lewis has been going out quite often this past few days , that is suspicious "
" So what do we do now "
" We are going to spy on Eric's uncle and found out where he has been going "
" It is dangerous ! "
" We need to do this Cassandra ! It is the only we can find out who abducted Eric "
°°°°
" Why are you kids sneaking around my compound "
" We were not sneaking , we were actually spying on you "
" You call that spying ! And next time , Try to hide your entire body if you don't want to be seen Kelvin , I could see your head from afar . I can sue you for trespassing , you know that right "
" Listen Mr Lewis , we need you to tell us the truth , do you have anything to do with Eric's disappearance ? "
" You trespassed on private property and invaded my privacy and now you are accusing me of k********g my own nephew ! I am calling the police "
" Come on Uncle Lewis , we are not saying that you kidn*pped Eric , you will never do that . We thought that , maybe you have some information about Eric's abductors , that is what we are trying to find out . Please tell us the truth Uncle , we are really concerned , we want Eric back "
" We can't talk out here , get in "

" Would you like some juice ? I baked some cookies too "
" Thank you "
" Eric was a sweet and cheerful child , he and his parents were one happy family , even though his parents were not always at home with him , they still find time to be with him and I was always the one to baby sit , he was such a trouble maker , he still is , it was so difficult baby sitting him . His parents were detectives , we all know that's a risky job . After the death of his parents on Christmas , a part of him died . From that day on , he was determined to find out who killed his parents . It was just recently that he finally got a lead , he was so close to finding the culprits then this happened , he got kidn*pped . "
"Do you know the identities of the killers ? "
" I have no idea but his kidnappers called me up "
" Did you inform the police about this ? "
" No , I couldn't , they threatened to kill him off if I say anything to the police. I don't want anything to happen to my nephew "
" I understand but you have to inform the police so that they can be brought to justice , they need to pay . Please do this for Eric , he needs you "
°°°°
" Well thank you Mr Lewis for informing the police "
" Don't let anything happen to him "
" I assure you that nothing would happen to him , leave it to the police "
" Wait , where is Cassandra ? "
" She left , she said something urgent came up that she had to attend to "
" Did you notice ? Cassandra has been acting weird and strange since Eric's disappearance "
" Yes but I didn't take it seriously , I thought she was agitated because of Eric's disappearance "
" Could it be that she knows something about... "
" She is our friend Kelvin , she won't keep anything from us "
" How well do you know her Jasmine ? We have been friends with her for 2 months . We don't know everything about her , she can be hiding something . "
" I really don't want to believe that she knows something but you are right we don't know her that well "
