Mr. Ballin

So he took her hand, and they started down the path.

Around 8 a.m.

the next morning, 10 miles up the coastline from where Patrik and Audrey had been walking at that park, Patrik's older brother, Mark Iswar, stood on the deck of his boat, pulling a big oyster trap out of the water.

As he was doing this, his phone rang, so he stopped and he answered it.

But before he could even say hello, his mother's very worried voice came across the line, asking if he knew where Patrik was.

Mark frowned because Patrik lived with their mother, so she should know better than he would.

But his mother explained that Patrik hadn't come home last night.

He also wasn't answering his phone, he hadn't shown up to work that morning, and perhaps most concerning of all, he'd missed his daughter's dance recital the previous evening.

And it was this last fact that made Mark think that something might actually be wrong here, because he knew how much Patrick loved his daughter and how much he was looking forward to that recital.

So he promised his mother he would get to the bottom of it, then he hung up and began calling Patrick's friends.

However, with each conversation he had, Mark got more worried because nobody had heard from Patrik since yesterday afternoon.

He'd apparently left work around 4 p.m., but he hadn't told anybody where he was going.

Now, for Mark, he felt like this was at least somewhere to start, Patrik's work.

So he steered his boat to the dock, tied it off, and then jumped in his car and started heading that direction.

Four hours later, Mark stood on a rocky lookout point, scanning the city below.

Patryk's hospital stood in the middle of Set's business district, which was packed with canals and cafes and tourist spots.

And Mark and a handful of Patryk's friends had spent all morning checking them one by one, looking for Patryk.

But they hadn't found him or any sign of him.

And so now Mark had turned his focus to some of the more remote areas around the city.

like the hill behind the park where he now stood.
