"Nothing." Glizzy slammed his phone on the table in front of him, running a calloused hand down his face. The moment the sound diffused throughout the room, Zebediah craned his neck toward the sudden disturbance.
His thick brows were scrunched together in frustration and a hard, intimidating mug was sewn into his mien. The duo had been rummaging through the possibilities all day, trying to draw a conclusion as to where the missing woman could have possibly disappeared to.
His built frame claimed the vacant seat at the very center of the room. Around him were pristine glass walls showcasing a beautiful outside scenery. Crashing blue waves, chirping birds, and the light whirring of the air condition vent were the only sounds that resonated in the large enclosure.

A single thumb slid across the glass screen to accept the call, the same moment Diah stepped onto the hotel room's balcony, shutting the track door behind him.
