Chapter 48: On The Lookout For Justin

"Did I just hear that my son is missing?" Sarah asked Xavier with furrowed brows, and immediately he nodded in reply. ___________________ "We can go and look for him together if you want," Xavier said to Sarah while trying to touch her. "Don't touch me," Sarah said to him with an icy glare before taking her handbag and walking out of Xavier's office, and immediately Xavier followed her from behind while dialing Ben's phone number. At the same time, Sarah took the phone and started dialing the number of the only person who she knew could help her, which was Charles. After some minutes of ringing, he picked up. "Good morning, my love, how are you?" Charles asked Sarah over the phone. "I'm fine. What about you?" Sarah asked him before entering her car. "Actually, I wanted to call you; it's just that I was a little..." "Charles remembered that you told me that whenever it comes to me your help is unlimited?" Sarah asked Charles over the phone. "Yes, but why are you reminding me of that?" Charles asked her. "That's because I need your help," Sarah said to him while praying that he help her out. "Okay, what can I help you with?" Charles asked her. "Justin is missing," Sarah said to him. "What? Come on, Sarah, I'm not Superman or Batman; you can't just call me and tell me to help a friend of yours who I know nothing about," Charles said to her. "Justin is my son, not my friend," Sarah said to him with anger. "Ooh, wait just a minute; you never told me that you had a son," Charles said to her. "At least I told you that I had a husband; it's the son I had with him," Sarah said to him. "Ok, I understand. I hope you have his picture because I can't find someone who I don't know," Charles said to her. "Yes, I have his picture; I will send it to you right away," Sarah said to him before hanging up. Once she hung up, she immediately searched for the pictures of Justin that were in her phone. Once she found them, she quickly sent them to Charles before driving out of the company in search of Justin. Once Charles received the message, he immediately placed a call with one of his friends who was a tracker. After discussing it with him for some minutes, he sent the photos to him. "Wow, bro, with the way Sarah looks young and elegant, who would believe that she had a child in the past?" Adrian, who was inside Charles' office while he was taking the call, asked him. "To be sincere, I thought she was joking when she said that the person who she was talking about was her son; if not for the fact that the boy in the picture resembled her, I would never have believed it," Charles said to Adrian before sighing heavily. "Do you have any idea of who's the father of the child?" Adrian asked Charles. "Yes, it's Xavier; they were both married, but for a reason unknown to anyone, they divorced later on," Charles said to Adrian. "Wow, I never knew that Sarah too has her own secrets, so now that you know that she has a child, are you still in love with her?" Adrian asked Charles with a mockery tone. "Look, bro, I was never in love with her, so whether she has a child or not, I don't give a damn; I'm only doing my work, and that's it," Charles said to Adrian with a serious tone. "Thank goodness you have finally come back to your senses. Don't you think that you should inform the old man that Sarah has a child? The information might help him in the future," Adrian said to him. "I think you are right; I'm telling him right away," Charles said to Adrian before taking a call and placing a call across to the old man, who picked up after some minutes of ringing. "Good morning, sir. How are you?" Charles asked the old man over the phone. "I'm good. What about you?" The old man asked him. "I'm good, sir; actually, I wanted to ask you something," Charles said to him. "Ok, go on; I'm all ears," the old man said to him. "I wanted to ask if you are aware that Sarah has a child?" Charles asked him. "No, of course; does she have one?" The old man asked him with a surprised tone. "I guess so, sir; he is even missing, and they are searching for him right now," Charles said to him. "Really?" The old man asked Charles. "Yes, sir," Charles said to him in reply. "If that's the case, find him and bring him for me," the old man said to Charles. "Ok, boss, I have asked some of our men to look for him," Charles said to him. "Perfect, I'm really proud of you. You took such an important decision that would benefit all of us. If we find that child, then you won't need to pretend to be in love with Sarah anymore; you can get rid of her and earn the freedom you have been yawning for. Remember, this is your last mission before you earn independence?" The old man asked him. "Yes, sir, I'm aware of that," Charles said to him. "That's good; make sure you find him and bring him to me before Sarah, and if you have pictures of the child, send them to me," the old man said to him. "Ok, sir, I will send it to you right away," Charles said to him before hanging up. Once he hung up, he sent the pictures to the old man before grabbing his jacket and taking his car keys. "Where are you going?" Adrian asked him. "The old man wants the child; if I bring him to the old man, then I'm a free man," Charles said to him. "Wow, you are owing me a favor; you know that, right?" Adrian asked him. "Yeah, I will if I succeed in finding him before Sarah and Xavier and taking him to the old man," Charles said to him while walking out of the office. "Good luck," Adrian said to him. "Thanks a lot," Charles said to him while hurrying to the garage to take his car. To be continued...
