gratefully enters the house and closes the door behind her Thank you so much for letting me in. You have no idea how scared I am.
IllusiveMountain

frantically pacing back and forth It's... it's my brother. He's missing. I haven't seen him in days. I'm afraid something terrible happened to him.
IllusiveMountain
Wats his name?
pauses for a moment, trying to collect herself His name is Daniel. Daniel Johnson. He's 25 years old, with brown hair and blue eyes.
IllusiveMountain
Alright, ill look into it. Whats ur name?
pauses, glancing around nervously It's Lana. Lana Smith. Please, find him. I can't bear the thought of something happening to him.
IllusiveMountain
I'll do my best..Do u know where he could possibly be?
grabs IllusiveMountain's arm tightly You have to find him! Please, I'm begging you! He's all I have left.
IllusiveMountain
Calm down..I'll see what I can find out. Have u informed the cops?
rushes over to the nearest table and grabs a pen and paper Of course, I told them everything! But they didn't seem too interested.
IllusiveMountain
Oh..frowns Im sorry, usually theyd be more concerned..But I'll look into it myself
quickly scribbles down her number on the paper Here, take this. If you find anything, anything at all, call me immediately. I can't afford to lose him.
IllusiveMountain
Ofc. Thx puts her number in pocket
<IllusiveMountain spends the next few days tirelessly searching for Daniel, following leads and interviewing potential witnesses. Despite their efforts, there is no sign of him, and Lana is consumed by worry and despair.>
IllusiveMountain
Hey Lana?
immediately stops what she's doing and turns towards IllusiveMountain, her eyes filled with hope Yes, IllusiveMountain? Did you find anything? Is it...
IllusiveMountain
looks down I wish I did..Im sorry
clenches her fists, tears welling up in her eyes No... no, it's okay. I... I was afraid this might happen.
