Missing
Ma Lia
So... I would like you to find my girl, Chen Ge.
Police officer
Okay. Is it a girl?
Ma Lia
*mumbles* I just said 'my girl' but it seems you are deaf...
Ma Lia
Hum... I said... You should find her faster because I think she was kidnapped!
Police officer
So... did you see who kidnapped her? When? And where?
Ma Lia
Huh? I... I didn't see who kidnapped her, but...
Police officer
...You didn't see his face? Was it a man or a woman?
Ma Lia
I... I really have no clue... I just left my friend, but when I came back, she was nowehere to be found.
Police officer
...So, you're basically saying your friend was kidnapped even though you haven't seen her being kidnapped?
Ma Lia
...Yes? But, I know her! She wouldn't leave me behind. And even if she did, she would've already called me or sent me a message, but you can see I haven't received anything!
Ma Lia almost showed the police officer her phone with her conversations, but the police officer stopped her.
Police officer
Okay, okay... So tell me, when was she missing? And where?
Ma Lia
It was about... twenty minutes ago, it was outside the new restaurant that opened not too long ago. You know, just not far from here.
The police officer sighed loudly, as if he just found out a news that wasn't real but shoched the hell out of him. Ma Lia was pissed off by his attitude. Like what? Her friend is missing, but the police officer doesn't give a damn about it? Ma Lia tried to contain her anger and tried not to lose temper, so she then calmly asked:
Ma Lia
What do you mean by that?
Police officer
Sorry, but we can't do anything.
Ma Lia
...What? I don't understand... You're not gonna help me?
Police officer
We only investigate the case when the victim has been missing for at least two days. If it was just some minutes ago, she can't have gone that far, you don't need the help of the police to find her.
Ma Lia
...Excuse me? But it's YOUR duty to help the citizens! I knew you were incompetent, but to think you were this useless!
Police officer
Please behave yourself, young lady. Swearing at a police officer is grave crime...
Ma Lia
But I don't give a f-
Suddenly, Bai Xue and Anna Kim barged in and held Ma Lia, stopping her from saying anything more.
Bai Xue
Hi... We are friends of hers. We're really sorry for her behavior...
Ma Lia
What? What behavior? I normally behave like this! And I haven't finished-
Anna Kim
Stay still and close that mouth of yours!
Anna Kim
Shh- Don't go overboard!
Bai Xue
We apologize...Don't mind her, she's just too stressed out because our friend is missing. It's just it seems a bit unreal for her to disappear suddenly... Haha...
Police officer
Oh... I understand, but you should do something for her behavior. If it were other police officers, they wouldn't be as tolerating as I am.
Bai Xue
Thank you... Now, we're off. Sorry for troubling you.
Bai Xue and Anna Kim brought an enraged Ma Lia outside the police station. Bai Xue sighed then looked unhappily at her friend.
Ma Lia
What? Why staring at me like that?
Bai Xue
Don't you have something to say?
Ma Lia
Yeah, that police officer was an assh*le!
Bai Xue
Hey, keep it down! You know he can hear you!
Ma Lia
So what? I'm not afraid.
Anna Kim
Go if you want to, but don't drag us with you.
Ma Lia
You-! Whose side are you taking?
Bai Xue
It's not a matter of taking whoses side... but rather, you should control your emotions.
Ma Lia
I tried my best, but he just pissed me off...
Anna Kim
Okay, but don't do that in the future.
Bai Xue
...So, you said on the phone that Chen Ge was missing?
Ma Lia
Yes! I'm sure she was kidnapped...
Anna Kim
Why do you say that? It's not like she's that rich or anything...?
Anna Kim
Sorry. What I meant was, who would kidnap such a kind and lovely girl? I don't think anyone can detest her... Maybe some are jealous, but not to the point of kidnapping her...
Ma Lia
But... But she can't leave just like that! You guys also know her, no?
Bai Xue
I know, but why kidnap her out of some people? Something feels kinda off...
Anna Kim
I think we should ask the surroundings if they saw her anywhere.
Ma Lia
You're right! I didn't think of that...
Bai Xue
Let's go before it's late!
