“Ariana?” Holden called out while searching the house, yet there was no trace of Ariana or the children.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Mitchel’s voice sounded anxious as he said, “Holden, Ariana got into a car accident on the mountain road on her
way back, and now she’s missing.
I'm sending you the location of the car accident now; you need to chere right away.
A chill ran down Holden's spine, almost causing his legs to give way.
Shawn immediately supported Holden to steady him.
Following the call’s conclusion, Holden's ears buzzed so loudly that he could barely hear anything else.
“We need to go to the farm now,” Holden said, maintaining as steady a voice as possible.
Shawn quickly drove Holden there.
At the scene, police cars blocked off the area, casting a bright light on the disorderly scene.
The car Ariana had been in lay in fragments, scattered from its descent down the hill.

Debris from broken trees and remnants of a fire contributed to the wreckage.
The vicinity carried the odor of gasoline.
Holden was shocked as he stepped out of his car.
Mitchel cover from behind the police barrier, his expression somber.
He said, “The driver didn’t survive, but the children are mostly unharmed, just minor injuries.
Ariana is missing.
The police have combed through the area, but there's no sign of her.
Holden was so pale that he looked like a ghost.
Tears started to pool in his eyes.
He couldn’t make sense of it.
Just moments ago, he and Ariana had been texting.
But now, she was missing.
It didn’t make any sense.
Holden's hands were shaking, but he didn’t even notice it.
He kept staring at the scene, ignoring Mitchel, who was trying to hold him back.
He stumbled forward.
There was blood and broken glass everywhere, blurring into each other.
Holden's eyes were glued to the mess, his brain frozen.
But then, he heard a distant crying, and it snapped him out of his daze.
He turned toward the sound.
Melon and Adele stood there.
The kids had just woken up, and they were a mess, sobbing and looking around for Ariana.
When Holden got closer, he saw they had sscratches on their faces and heads, but they were mostly fine.

Clearly, they had been protected well.
Seeing the kids, Holden had this flash of Ariana, fighting like crazy to keep the kids safe during the car accident.
His throat tightened, and he didn’t realize his eyes were getting redder.
Melon ran up to him, crying.
“Daddy, Mommy's missing.
Did she get thrown out? We can’t find her.
You have to find her, please!”
Adele was so scared that she couldn’t speak.
Her wide eyes were filled with tears, and she just cried without making a sound.
Holden wanted to comfort them, but the words wouldn't come.
It felt like the cold air was slicing his throat with every breath he took, each one sharper than the last.
He felt totally powerless and overwhelmed by the thought that Ariana might be dead.
