Disappear

Day 7

It was a busy thursday morning for Fugaku, but then again every day was like rush hour for the detective

Most cases were just petty crime like a pack of cigarettes stolen from a shop or teenagers breakin curfue and staying out past 10pm, but still, work was work.

It was a bit past 9am when his assistant knocked on his office door

"Not now, Sara, im busy."

"Uh, sir, there's someone here who wants to see you."

He raised his eyes from the documents he was holding and looked at his assitant, the worried look on her face made him frown

Before he could say anything his door was fully swung open and 2 men stepped in

His assitant quickly apologised and left the office, closing the door behind her

"What is the meaning of this, Jenkins." He frowned at the man as he put his documents down

The other detective took his time before answering, as he looked around the office like he owned it

"Im working right now, so if you wouldn't mind." He stood up motioning to the door

"So am i Fugaku.. I have a case." He spoke in the same unninterested voice,still not looking at the other man

It irritated Fugku how always relaxed and unbothered he looked, yet he was one of the best, they were on different jurisdictions, so the other had no business being here

"Well, then congradulations, so why don't you go and get back to work."

"I am working."

He finally took his gaze off of the cupboard and looked at Fugaku, his eyes serious. Fugaku could've sworn it was the first time he saw him like that. It was almost menacing

"So tell me, Fugaku," He sat down at the armchair that was in front of his desk, while his assistant still stood there patiently "Where is your son?"

Fugaku looked at the man and slowly sat down realising that he wasn't going to leave

"At school."

Jenkins chuckled

"That's not what we were told. See, apparently Your boy hasn't been to school for a week now."

Fugaku stared at him in silence, proccessing the information

"He should be at school."

"He should." The other nodded "Do you not know where your son is?" He looked at Fugaku with challanging eyes  

"Well-"

"The school administration tried to contact you multiple times. They were unsuccessful. 7 consecutive unexcused absences.. and the police had to get involved. So, tell me Fugaku, where is your son?"

"Maybe he got sick."

"Maybe? When was the last time you saw your son?"

When a couple seconds of silence went by as Fugaku tried to remember Jenkins opened his mouth to say something but this time it was Fugaku who cut him off

"Im sure this is some missunderstanding. Some sort of error.. Let me call him."

When Jenkins didn't say anything Fugaku took out his phone and found Ssukes number

It didn't even ring 2 times when Fugaku was immedietly sent to voicemail.

The man tried it a few more times and the result was the same
