Callum's solemn face came into view as he picked up the video call. I tried to contain my tears, but my heart wouldn't ease.
And here was Zaylen, acting more mature and stronger than all of us. I knew Uncle Zyair was barely holding on because of how attached he was to Arata, and even though I was trying, I was an emotional mess.
Arata was my best friend and the sister I never had.
"Any progress?" Callum asked, and I had to shake my head.
"Not much, Uncle Zyair and Uncle Kail are speaking to the police now, and we are still trying to find a lead." I wasn't going to reveal the truth about the USB to anyone else yet.
"Alright. I made a promise to Arata, but I had no clue that such a day would come. So I am telling you guys."
Our ears perked, and Zaylen exchanged a look with me as we said.
"Go on."
