Chapter 84 - Detected Part 1 (1/2)
He kept on typing on his computer to finish loaded of works. After typing emails sending it to his directors, he turned off the monitor and then proceed on reading the proposals. It was exhausting but the more he's busy—the less he's worried about her. And every time he stops, he kept thinking about his wife.
”Andromeda.” Zach sighed and looked at her photo on the wood frame. ”Are you even safe now?”
Zach frustratedly pulled his hair then shoved his face on the papers. He kept on thinking of her until suddenly something pop-up on his mind. He was sure that he put the emergency phone on her bag. So he glanced at the clock. Six-thirty in the evening. He cleaned his desk took his bag and uses the motorbike he always parked on his private parking area in the building and drove all the way home.
He went to his laboratory which is in the basement under the secret passage of their home. He logged in and entered the unit of the phone and since he secretly put a detector on it, he saw the red light blinking in the middle of Madagascar. It's in the jungle of the country.
”Tsk. You are stubborn, Andromeda.” He was busy checking the service and she hasn't turned on the phone.
He was interrupted by the noisy ringtone. He glanced at it and the unregistered number. He didn't answer it and then suddenly it beeps a notification for the message. He checked it.
”It's Alanis.” Said the number. Then it rang again and he answered it.
”Yes?”
”So, where's your wife?”
”I don't know.” Zach lied though he knew now where she is located. ”Aren't you with her?”
”No. Come, Zachary, tell me where your wife is. I am sure that you know about her whereabouts. I am sure that you even put the detector on her so you can detect her anywhere she goes.”
”Look. What do you want, Alanis?”
”I am certain that my girlfriend is with her.”
”Uh, who's your girlfriend?” Zach asked with creased brows.
”Moira Mondragon.”
Zach falls silent contemplating. Moira Mondragon? He didn't know that there's Moira Mondragon. Then he thought of Moira, James's assistant and the show up of Andel which he did not almost recognize. It's a little messy and Andy did not mention to him about Moira and Andel.
”Moira is your girlfriend? I thought she's James's girl.”
”No, dummy! She's mine! And they can't be together. So now, tell me, where is she?”
”Hey, buddy… I don't know, okay? My wife said that she's leaving on an adventure and I don't know the details.”
Alanis is quiet for a while.
”I can't track you,” Alanis said. Zach laughed out loud.
”Buddy, you can't track me. Why won't you post her photo around the world so if any saw her, they can alarm you immediately.” Zach hung up and looked at the beep on the monitor.
He rubbed his chin and started guessing about her mission in Madagascar.

Andel immediately booked a flight to Zimbabwe after Moira's call. He was a little worried that someone spotted them and would kill the three of them. They can't be all together at the same time in the same place.
Once that he's already on the plane, his phone started ringing. They haven't departed yet and people are still coming in. He answered the call from a little girl.
”Hey, Kiddo?”
”Uh, where are you?” Ellen asked in a sleepy voice. ”You didn't even organize your bed.”
”Oh, so, that bed is already mine?” Andel grinned. ”I'm on my emergency trip. Don't worry, baby girl— I'll be home before you know it.”
”Ugh. Don't forget that you are going to help me with the arrangements.”
”Yeah, sure, baby girl. What do you want me to bring you from the Jungle?”
”Uh, Jungle?” She asked.
”Yup. I'm going somewhere in Zimbabwe.”
”Uh, anything.”
