Elijah Wealthmoor's car went off the bridge earlier this afternoon. Nova was found and rescued but she survived with a badly damaged on her right leg and a big hit to her head but Elijah was not found.

The search for him went on for hours but there seems to be no sign of him anywhere. The search is still ongoing as we hope Nova wakes from Coma soon.

The News went viral, hitting like thunder and both Andrew and Noah had just seen it.

"Adrian!" Both men gasped at once, rushing out of their room and into that of Adrian's. Once the door was opened, Adrian sat crossed legs on the floor, his eyes glued to his phone as tears streamed down his face. "Tiger." Andrew approached the boy with caution. "Are you alright?" That was a stupid question he knows but Adrian looked spaced out of this world. Andrew sat in front of him and Adrian hugged him and cried wetting Andrew's shirt with his tears. "Shhh... they will find him. Elijah is strong, he will be found." Andrew whispered into his ears and kissed his hair. Noah soon joined and cried with both men. Deep inside, Andrew was terrified and he feared for the worse.

Oliver and Alison soon arrived shortly after and Andrew was happy to see them. He also needed to leave. He's not just going to sit around and do nothing, his best friend has just been in a terrible accident and his body has not been found.

"Tiger, I have to go help in some way. I can't sit here and do nothing. We need to find Elijah!" Adrian couldn't utter a single word, he just stared into space and cried. "Take care of him and do not let him out of your sight." He left his warnings with them, giving a quick kiss to Noah before he left.

Two weeks had long past and there still was no sign of Elijah. The lake in which the car had fallen and its perimeters even beyond have been thoroughly searched over and again. It's like he has just disappeared from the surface of the earth.

"What now?" Andrew asked the uniformed man sitting in front of him.

"If forensics didn't show he was in the car, we would have thought otherwise. We will find him." The man assured.

"When? It's being two bloody weeks! What if he's dead and afloat some ungodly place?" Andrew felt his eyes burn and tears soon followed. "Excuse me." He whispered, getting out of the office and slowly made his way outside.

Two weeks, Nova is alive and Elijah is missing, even if he was dead, his body should at least be found so he would rest in peace.

What news would he bring back to Adrian? The boy hasn't eaten well in the past weeks and he hasn't even left his bedroom, neither has he agreed to speak with anyone since then.

Andrew felt like a big failure.

He's failed Elijah and he has failed Adrian.

Dead or Alive he won't rest until he's found.

An incoming call on his phone knocked him out of his thoughts.

*********

Adam Littlefield, his wife, and Jared with his wife have just arrived at the hospital, Nova was supposed to get out of Coma today and they were all there to give their support. Jared has become a bitter man since the disappearance of his son. If only they would just find him, dead or alive at least he would have his son's body to put to rest.

"Honey, " his wife called softly and he blinked to meet the woman's face. "The doctor is here."

"Nova is awake and ready to meet her family." The man announced and they followed him.

Once inside the room, Nova peered her eyes open to greet her family. They had refused that the kids follow them this time.

"Mom, " she whispered, her voice barely audible.
