"Don't be afraid. I'm here for you guys, and no one can hurt you." Jombo quickly comforted the kids and said, "Then how about this? Cain, you send Randy back while others protect Josh and Venus at school. You guys must never leave their side. You hear me?"
"Yes, Mr. Giblo." The bodyguards bowed to Jombo.
"Here is close to home, so nothing should happen." However, Jombo was still worried, so he reminded, "Be very careful on the way back to the house. Ensure Randy's safety no matter what."
"Please don't worry, Mr. Giblo, " Cain replied.
After that, the car stopped, and they split up.
Cain alone drove a Maybach and fetch Randy home while the others followed Josh and Venus to school.
Before they split up, Josh reminded, "Randy, rest well at home."
"Got it. Thank you, Josh." Randy looked at Josh deeply, as he knew the latter was helping him with his plan.
"Drive carefully." Jombo waited until the car Cain drove disappeared from sight before retracting his gaze and instructed the bodyguard to continue driving.
In the car, Randy furrowed his brows while looking outside the window as if he was making up a plan in his mind.
Right when the car was about to pass through the area between Northridge and Southridge, Randy covered his stomach and screamed in pain. "Argh! My stomach hurts…"
Cain hurriedly asked, "Mr. Randuwell, what's wrong? Just bear with it a little more, we're reaching soon."
Randy shouted in pain, "My stomach hurts so much. I can't bear it anymore, so please stop the car. I want to poo."
"Huh? Here?" Cain slowed down the car and scanned their surroundings. They were in the wilderness and of course, there wasn't any toilet available.
Mr. Randuwell is still a kid, so no one will blame him for this. Plus, there's no one around. Seeing how much pain Randy was in, the bodyguard changed his mind and decided to do as the child said.
"Alright." He stopped the car by the roadside near the woods to prevent Randy from falling down the cliff.
Randy carried his small backpack on his back before getting off the car. Covering his stomach while wearing his pain-etched face, he ran into the woods.
"Mr. Randuwell, please wait." Cain immediately chased after him.
Randy commanded, "Don't follow me. Stay in the car."
"But…" The bodyguard sensed that something was amiss, but he didn't follow Randy as he thought it was normal for the child to be embarrassed if someone was to be near him when he was doing his business.
It should be fine since I'm just at his side.
Just as Randy went into the woods, he didn't stop in his tracks. Instead, he stopped pretending to be in pain and ran forward while pushing aside the plants in his path. When he got to an open space, he ran
toward Northridge.
I have to find some clues and get Mommy back as soon as possible.
Otherwise, some other woman is about to intrude on my home.
"Mr. Randuwell, are you done?" Soon after, Cain grew anxious. "You didn't have tissues, right? I'll take some for you."
With that, he took a packet of tissues from the car and walked into the woods slowly while looking around, searching for Randy. "Mr. Randuwell, I'm not trying to peek. I'm just here to give you some tissues…"
After saying his words, only silence ensued in the vast forest.
Cain froze. Scanning his surroundings, his heart started racing as he yelled anxiously, "Mr. Randuwell… Mr. Randuwell? Stop playing and come out now. There are wild beasts here. It's too dangerous to play hide and seek."
He didn't receive any response from the child.
Cain started searching here and there in the vast forest, but Randy was nowhere to be found.
Breaking out in a cold sweat, the bodyguard took in a deep breath and focused on his surroundings. On closer inspection, he noticed the thick bushes were messy as if someone had pushed them sideways while a trail of footsteps could be seen on the ground.
Following the footsteps, he quickened his pace and called Brandy. "Hello? Brandy, Mr. Randuwell ran away!"
"What?" Brandy was in the middle of carrying out his mission. When he heard what Cain said, he immediately jumped and asked, "What do you mean by that? Explain."
"It went like this…" Cain explained everything to him.
Meanwhile, Randy followed the route he had investigated before and successfully reached the hill behind Northridge.
Right when he was about to take out his laptop and drone to carry out investigations, an ear-piercing screech was heard from the sky.
