"Jackson.. Smith.." Joanne began to panic. He continued to step, here and there to find the whereabouts of his two colleagues who suddenly disappeared somewhere.
"Nothing...where are they?"
"Why aren't they everywhere?"
"I've been looking around, but why aren't they there? Wasn't the last time they were here?" Joanne was silent where she had come.
Joanne still remembers well, exactly a few minutes ago; they were still together in the room she is in today. But in just a matter of minutes, his two comrades had already disappeared from his sight.
"Don't they leave me?" He mumbled slowly while trying to calm down.
"I have to find them." Joanne moved from her place, stepping towards the path she had come with her friends.
...*...
Smith was still silent looking at the carvings on the wall. Somehow, but he was sure from the beginning, the carvings along the wall had a hidden meaning that could help them.
"Friends, it looks like we can find a way out if we can—" Smith turned his head. His words were cut off when he found the place was empty.
"Friends?"
Smith got up from his seat, his eyes listening to look around trying to find the whereabouts of Jackson and Joanne who suddenly disappeared from the place.
"Jackson…?"
"Joanne…?"
Smith stepped one by one the passageways that might pass through them. But he could not find them.
"Where did they go? Why did they suddenly disappear? Did they leave first?"
Questions popped up in Smith's mind. The man began to step back, find out where his two colleagues went and disappeared suddenly.
...*...
"I'm sure, just a few seconds ago they were here. Why are they suddenly gone?" Jackson muttered softly, his brain still trying to digest every incident he was experiencing.
He kept going, trying to make sure where his two colleagues were back.
"They're completely gone." Jackson muttered softly, he had walked long enough since earlier looking for the whereabouts of his two colleagues but he never found.
"Something's wrong with this place."
Jackson was silent for a moment, his eyes rolling around; the old building he was in felt strange.
"I have to find them both so we can get out of here and find the Kane Collection we're looking for."
Jackson stepped back, continuing his search.
...*...
"If it's not wrong, the three of them were here."
The man stepped into the room he had originally been in, Jackson, Joanne, and Smith.
Arriving there, he saw no one but an empty room that only inhabited him.
"Surprisingly, why aren't they here?"
"Did they go somewhere else?"
The man stepped towards one of the passageways that was there. His steps suddenly stopped when he suddenly heard something moving from behind him.
The bird man stopped. He looked back to make sure.
"What sound was that?" Mumbled slowly. His forehead was staring in the direction where he was coming. There was nothing there, but he was sure that something was moving right behind him.
"There's nothing."
"Maybe it's just my feelings?" He murmured slowly, continuing to look back.
