37 The Missing Girl Part 1 (2/2)

************

Just as I was about to lose hope, I received a call from Haruto.

”Yo! Yuuji! How ya doin'?”

”I don't have time for this, Haruto. Scram.”

”Oi! Oi! At least let me tell you why I called.”

”You got one minute.”

”So, uh, why aren't you with your sister today? I running along the beach early in the morning today and saw your little sister running somewhere. I didn't see you with her so I was quite confused...”

”WHERE?!?!”

”Whoa! Calm down, dude!”

”Where did you see Mio?”

”Uh... On the 58th street, I guess.”

After getting that information, I hung up on him and opened up google maps.

”Let's see, the 58th street...”

I traced the street on the map to see where she could be going.

”Hmm... Let's see... If she goes toward the southern side of the island, she might be going to... Nah... That's impossible. She's never been to the southern side of the island anyway...”, I dismissed my thought in a hurry.

”What if it's toward the northern side...”

I traced my finger on the road and stopped at a certain place.

”Wait... It can't be, right?”

If my intuition is correct, she should be going there. If she really is going there, it seems that I'll have to hurry up and prepare. I immediately called Hanako when I reached a conclusion.

”Hanako! I have no time to explain. Get ready to go out right now. Bring some money, too. We might need it.”

”Wha- Yuuji?”, I could hear her confused voice from over the phone.

I immediately grabbed my wallet and headed towards the place where Mio is very likely to go.

”Meet me at the Port! Now!”
