Ilario stepped down the aisle towards the place where his crew gathered to prepare their filming place. He sped up his footsteps when he remembered that he had to tell his assistant that there would be a change of plans in their filming this time.

"We have to change our filming plans this time," Ilario said in a loud voice that spontaneously made the people there turn to the direction he had just arrived. Everyone who was there stopped doing their activities and walked over to Ilario there.

"Change of plans sir?" Repeated his assistant who was now standing right beside him.

"really. Since this ferry is already quite far away from the port, we can't go back as it will take just to get back. So we'll start filming."

"What sir? That means we're going to shoot with one ship?"

"Rubber. So let's prepare everything, prepare our artists and accelerate your work! We need to take a picture immediately."

"But sir, is this not too hasty? When we sail for just two days to San Marino, will it be enough?"

"I'm sure it will be enough, so let's work together and don't be lazy! Go back to work and get everything ready!"

"Okay sir" they said simultaneously.

"Then you can get back to work."

His crew is again busy with their respective work, leaving Ilario and a few people there.

"Oh yes, I want you to make sure and check everything carefully" he told his female assistant.

"Okay sir" the woman replied.

"Then, we also have to make sure that our artist is ready. Let's check and make sure of them" Flavia told his fellow managers.

"really. Let's go" said Ciro who then moved from there with the others.

"Where is our artist now? Since then I have not seen them," said Fio as he looked at Ciro who was walking side by side with Elvera. Meanwhile on his other side, he was next to Flavia who was busy contacting his assistant to help prepare for all Fito's needs.

"You're right. Nor did I see any of them" said Flavia, who turned to him after ordering all his assistants to help.

"I think they're preparing, maybe they're rereading the screenplay and rehearsing their acting" Ciro said.

"But somehow I felt unsettled since then," Elvera there muttered making the others turn towards her while stopping her steps.

"You mean?" Fio asked confusedly.

"That's it, but I've been thinking about Analia and other artists ever since. And I don't know why I feel like something's gonna happen to them."

"Hey! Don't say it like that!" Flavia.

"Don't make us anxious just because of how you feel!" Gregorio suddenly appeared and made them turn to him.

"True, don't make us anxious" Fio chimed in.

Elvera was silent for a moment, he then turned his eyes to Gregorio who is the manager of Piero. From the beginning the key to her and Analia's problems was with the man. The man who had made Analia go through a trauma that was quite disturbing to her life as an artist.

"Yes, it just seems to be my feeling. Maybe it's because I'm too anxious for Analia" Elvera murmured later. Ciro who saw it felt an oddity. It seems obvious that something is going on between Analia and Elvera, but Ciro is reluctant to ask her.

"That's it, let's go and get our artist ready!" Gregorio moved from his place leaving Elvera and the others.

"Right is what he said. Let's go," Fio chimed in. Soon they left their current place.

"Oh yeah, by the way you guys know where the artist's waiting room is?" Flavia turned to look at Ciro, Elvera and Fio beside him.

"It's okay just that I forgot to bring my tablet, all the room plans were there but I left it in the bag in the waiting room. It will be a long time if I have to go back and take him" Flavia explained.

"We just need to keep walking and then turn to the right and there we will see the door of the room that is made the waiting room for the artist."

"Oh."

Flavia and the three of them then accelerated their footsteps towards the room in question.

Their steps came to a halt when suddenly once they got there, they saw Gregorio scolding one of the assistants working with Ilario. Assistants assigned to help artists prepare. More precisely, it is actually a crew who switched professions to become assistant artists provided specifically by Ilario.

"What's this about? Why are you scolding her?" Ask Flavia who incidentally is the oldest in age compared to other managers.

Gregorio who found Flavia there then turned to look at him with a look of annoyance.

"Our artist is not in his place!" His face was still full of annoyance due to the negligence of the assistant.

"What do you mean by not being in his place?" Flavia did not understand.

"They're gone!"

"WHAT?!" Spontaneously they were shrieking in surprise.

"You're serious?" Elvera.

"Yes! If you don't believe it, you can check yourself inside or just ask him!" Resenting.

"Is that true? All the artists don't exist?" Ask Ciro who started panicking there. The woman lowered her head and nodded slowly.

"Truly," he mumbled.

"But how can it?" Fio did not think.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know either. Since then I was too busy helping other crews who needed help to prepare everything, but once I got the notification if there would be a change of plans, I checked right here and I couldn't find any of them."

"Who doesn't exist?" Ask Flavia again.

"All the important players in this film. They're missing. There are only a few figures that are deliberately prepared by Mr. Ilario to appear in the film."

"What's? That means Fito's missing too?" Flavia was surprised there.

"Lucio too?"

"What about Analia? Dario's? The zeta? Piero's? The widow and the others?" Ask Fio to make sure.

"Everything is gone" he said slowly.

"What's? But how can it be?" Fio and the others began to suffer from extreme anxiety.

"I'm sorry but I don't know either."

"Let's find them. Who knew they were still on this ferry?" Flavia.

"I agree! Then let's do the job" said Ciro. Flavia as the oldest then directs them.
