Recognizing the mistake
Kenneth’s mind raced as he realized that Pablo could never have been in the park. “We were looking in the wrong place,” he said, his voice quivering with frustration and fear. Lyla’s face lost all color. “Then where could he be?” she asked in a trembling tone. Kenneth shook his head helplessly as he tried to get a clear thought. “We need to regroup and figure out our next move,” he said heavily. The admission of their mistake was devastating – they were back to square one.

They had no fresh leads, and the uncertainty of Pablo’s whereabouts gnawed incessantly. They urgently needed a new approach before time worked against them.
