Desmon: whispering Where could she be? looks around anxiously
Desmon's right hand assistant, 21 year old Samantha "Sam" Sorkin, is seen in her office, staring at her computer screen.
quickly approaches Sam Sam, have you seen DelicateCanyon? She's been missing for days now, and I can't reach her.
no, I haven't seen her since she texted me that she had some "urgent" business to deal with.
furrows his brow "Urgent business"? What kind of business could be so urgent that she would disappear like this? paces back and forth
business could be anything! She always gets stressed by the holidays and the workload at the office.
stops pacing and clenches his fists This isn't just about the holidays or the workload, Sam. DelicateCanyon wouldn't just vanish without a trace.
Look, I've seen her phone. She's clearly been busy with something, but she didn't want to tell me what it was.
narrows his eyes, suspicion growing Something she doesn't want to tell me... crosses his arms Alright, Sam. I need you to dig deeper. Find out what DelicateCanyon is hiding from me.
But Des, she's your girlfriend, not mine. You should be the one doing the digging.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself I appreciate your concern, Sam, but this is something I need to handle myself.
Fine, whatever. Just don't go looking like a fool.
nods and thanks Sam I understand, Sam. I'll handle it. walks away, determined to find DelicateCanyon
I continued to work, scrolling through social media on my computer, trying to find any information about DelicateCanyon's whereabouts.
starts making calls, asking anyone and everyone if they've seen DelicateCanyon Hello, this is Desmon.
frantically searching online, checking social media, and running background checks Come on, DelicateCanyon, where are you?
Desmon, are you okay? You look really frazzled.
pauses, takes a deep breath, and speaks in hushed tones Sam, I need you to trust me.
Trust you with what, Des? This whole situation has me on edge.
leans in closer, his voice barely audible I know you're worried, Sam, but I need you to keep calm and trust me.
Keep calm? Easy for you to say. You're not the one desperately searching for his missing girlfriend!
sighs heavily, disappointment evident in his eyes I understand that you're upset, Sam, but I'm doing everything I can to find her.
And what are you doing, exactly? Besides calling around like some lost puppy.
leans against the desk, trying to keep his composure I've got detectives on the case, Sam. They're working tirelessly to find any leads on DelicateCanyon's whereabouts.
Detectives? That's...that's a bit much, isn't it?
leans in closer, his voice filled with urgency Sam, this isn't just about calling around anymore. We need to go above and beyond to find her.
swallows hard, eyes flickering with fear "We?" Des, you're talking about hiring a private investigator?
smirks and nods Yes, Sam. We're going to hire a private investigator who has the resources and connections to find DelicateCanyon.
Stares at Desmon, wide-eyed A private investigator? Des, that's...that's serious. Are you sure about this?
grabs Sam by the shoulders firmly Sam, I don't have time to waste. Every second counts, and we need to act fast if we want to find DelicateCanyon.
Okay, okay, I get it. You're determined to find her, no matter what it takes. Just promise me you won't let this obsession ruin you, Des.
releases Sam from his grip, determination shining in his eyes You have my word, Sam. Finding DelicateCanyon is my top priority, but it won't consume me.
looks down at her hands, nervously wringing them Okay, Des. Let's do this. But if things get too crazy...you promise to pull back, right?
puts a hand on Sam's shoulder, his voice filled with conviction You have my word, Sam. I will find DelicateCanyon, but I won't lose myself in the process.
Looks up at Desmon, determination in her eyes Alright, let's bring in this private investigator. But remember, Des, we're playing a dangerous game here.
pulls out his phone and starts searching for a qualified private investigator Don't worry, Sam. We'll find the best person for the job and make sure they leave no stone unturned.
Nods, a mix of determination and apprehension on her face Okay, Des. Let's get started then. And remember, we're in this together.
quickly sends out a request for proposals to various private investigators We need to find someone who's experienced, thorough, and discreet.
Swallowing hard, she nods Okay, Des. Let's see who responds. And remember, we're in this together.
reviewing the proposals, his eyes scanning the details intently Sam, I've found the perfect candidate. His name is Jack Williams.
Raises an eyebrow, surprise flickering across her face Jack Williams? Des, you're sure about this? He's...he's good.
nods, determination in his eyes Yes, Sam. Jack has an impeccable track record, and he's known for his discretion.
Gulps, her eyes widening Impressive. But...discretion? With someone like Jack, that's a tall order. Are you sure we can trust him, Des?
narrows his eyes, leaning in closer to Sam Sam, I know we have our doubts about Jack, but trust me, he's the right person for this job.
Bites her lip, hesitating before nodding Okay, Des. If you're certain...then let's move forward. Contact him immediately.
quickly types out an email to Jack Williams, detailing the situation and his expectations We need to act fast, Sam. We can't afford to waste any more time.
