Chapter 522


    Cami cast a doubtful gaze my way, and I could tell she was puzzled. We''d agreed that the kids would


    help guide the police, but I hadn''t said as much.


    I couldn''t exin at the moment, particrly since I wasn''t sure if the two little rascals were fibbing.


    Monique nodded, "Alright, we''ll be back soon!"


    After saying that, she nced at thevish spread on the dining table, seemingly lost in thought. But


    the next second, she sighed, grabbed Probert by the arm, and said to me, "We''re off then, Mom. Don''t


    worry, we''ll be right back!"


    As they left the dining room, I turned to Hannah, "Hannah, shadow them. See what they''re really up to."


    Hannah arched an eyebrow at me, as though sizing up my intentions. I added, "And don''t let them spot


    you!"


    "Got it!" Hannah replied and promptly headed out.


    Mom finally turned to me and asked, "Weren''t they supposed to stick with the cops to look for Fidelia?


    Why''d you let them go?"


    "I''ve got a hunch those two are holding back the full story. They might know where Fidelia is!" I


    confided in my mom.


    "What? Do you really think they know where Fidelia is?" Cami perked up, pressing me for answers,


    "How do you know?"


    "It''s just a guess," I quickly rified.


    "No wonder those two didn''t seem concerned about Fidelia''s whereabouts!" Cami mumbled to


    herself.

    I nced at Cami who had been paying attention to the kids'' demeanor.


    "Let''s wait and see what Hannah reports when she gets back," I reassured everyone, hoping my


    suspicions were incorrect.


    Truth be told, I wasn''t confident and just had an instinct the kids were less than forting. They


    couldn''t possibly be indifferent to Fidelia''s disappearance. Even Cami had noticed theirck of


    inquiry about Fidelia.


    It was out of character, especially for Monique. If something big went down, she''d be the first to spare


    no effort to get to the bottom of it. It didn''t make sense for her to act that nonchntly and im to have


    tidied up some books with Probert.


    That was unreasonable. Besides, Hannah was always on the ball. She mentioned checking out the


    Wood Manor and found nothing. If Hannah couldn''t find Fidelia, could the kids'' story hold any water?


    I was convinced there was more to the story.


    "Logically, the two of them would know Fidelia best. If Fidelia decided to hide on her own, they''d likely


    know where," Cami spected.


    "Exactly, they''ve been inseparable since day one. So just hang tight!" Mom took the opportunity to


    Before I could piece together more thoughts, Ronan''s call came through. He''d checked several leads


    without a trace. If Fidelia had been taken, there should''ve been some clue.


    It dawned on me I hadn''t shared thetest with Ronan. I briefed him on the situation, suggesting that


    Fidelia might have run off on her own, and we were searching.


    After hearing me out, Ronan still urged caution, "Don''t let your guard down, and stay safe!"


    Once I ended the call, Cami casually inquired, "Was that the police?"


    I responded instantly, "My dad''s pal!"


    Cami apologized, "I''m sorry for all the trouble. It''s my fault for not well taking care of Fidelia."


    Cami nodded in agreement, "Thank goodness we''re in Silverdale City. Otherwise, we''d be at a loss."


    "Kids can be headstrong. Even when we find her, go easy on her. She''s still a child and made friends


    here. The thought of leaving must be tough for Fidelia," Mom advised with patience, "She''s adorable.

    "You folks are truly wonderful," Cami said sincerely.


    And just then, Helga let out an exmation that startled us all, "Oh my..."
