Altair became worried and anxiety slowly crept upon his c.h.e.s.t when he saw dozens of police cars fill the area around the Eiffel Tower. He got out of the taxi and immediately called his sister's phone.
She didn't pick up!
He kept trying to call her many times, but there was no answer. He wanted to run toward the tower, but he was blocked by a police line, and several officers were chasing away the crowds.
"What is wrong?" he asked worriedly.
The people around him just shook their heads.
"I don't know. Some say there was a murder ... but we don't know for sure."
News helicopters and media cars rushed to the scene. He saw reporters and their cameramen prepare to broadcast live reports from the scene.
Altair quickly opened the internet to find out what had happened, and his face immediately turned pale. His body staggered and he had to hold on to the person next to him so as not to fall.
TERROR IN THE EIFFEL TOWER
There was an attack by an unknown group of terrorists. Twelve people were killed, and dozens were injured. This was the worst terror attack in French history for the past ten years.
Gosh .. Vega, Altair instantly became panicked. He received a text from his sister telling him that she went to dinner with Mischa a few hours ago. He thought everything was going fine. But then at 10 pm, Vega asked him to come to pick her up at the Eiffel Tower, where the restaurant was located.
That means, something must happen between Vega and Mischa, that Vega decided to go home alone and asked Altair to pick her up. Altair initially thought Mischa would take Vega home because he had been watching and protecting Altair and his sister.
Cold sweat dripped on his temple. Oh, God ... don't let anything happen to my sister ...
"My sister is inside ...!! Let me in!!" He tried to break through the police line and shout out Vega's name. "Vegaaa ...!! Vega .. where are you??"
"Sorry, no one can enter. Young man, please wait there." A young officer tried to hold Altair and pulled him towards a police car. "You must wait here. My partner will take your statement."
Altair felt his body suddenly turned weak. Tears streamed down on his face as he took his cellphone and contacted his father in New York.
"Father... something happened with Vega. I can't contact her..." Altair stammered. "There was a terrorist attack in the Eiffel Tower .. Vega was here earlier to have dinner with Mischa .."
Alaric, who was sitting in his room while reading something, was shocked. He rose from his chair and clenched his hands tightly.
"What? Where are John, Leon, and the others?" His voice sounded calm, but Altair could feel that his father was also distraught.
"I don't know. I can't contact them either ..." Altair cried uncontrollably. "It's so chaotic here. I can't go in, the police are blocking me. They said I had to wait here to make a statement. "
"You calm down there," Alaric said later. "We will come soon."
Aleksis, who heard Alaric's voice on the phone, looked anxious. She approached her husband and touched his arm. "What's wrong? Is that Altair?"
His pair of purple eyes seemed filled with grief and anxiety, making Aleksis involuntarily take a step backward.
She had never seen this expression on her husband's face. Did something bad happen?
"Honey ... we must immediately go to France. I will get everything ready." Alaric patted Aleksis's shoulder slowly and then contacted Terry.
"Hey ... what's up?" asked Terry, who was working out in his penthouse gym, facing a huge window that gave him beautiful views of Central Park
"Please take care of Ireland and Scotland for a while. There is an emergency, and we must immediately go to Paris," Alaric said quickly.
"Eh ... what?" Terry's question was not answered because Alaric had hung up. Terry frowned in surprise. He really did not understand what had happened, but he knew that Alaric would not joke about his children.
If he entrusted the twins with him, that means something bad had happened that needed his attention, and he can't bring his two little boys with him.
Finally, Terry stopped his workout and immediately showered and changed his clothes. He drove to Alaric's family's mansion in Manhattan. He arrived ten minutes later and found the couple ready at the door, about to leave for the airport.
"Please take care of the children here. We will call you every few hours," Alaric said calmly. He kissed Ireland and Scotland alternately, then shook hands with Terry. "Thank you."
Terry didn't dare to ask questions because he knew Aleksis was in shock. His younger sister looked devastated, and she couldn't even say a word. When Terry said goodbye, Aleksis only nodded weakly and did not answer.
The trip to the airport felt very slow. When the couple finally boarded their private plane, the two just sat silently in their seats. Both of their hands clasped together.
Only the two of them understood what's in each other's hearts. Neither Alaric nor Aleksis ever imagined they would have every parent's nightmare: hearing the news that their child had disappeared and then died.
Various news about the terror attack on the Eiffel Tower immediately filled all the media throughout the world and the internet. Splitz was filled with condolences for the victims and pictures of the incident, as well as photos of the victims.
Alaric immediately contacted the three bodyguards who were assigned to protect his children in France, but he could not reach any of them. Mischa also didn't pick up his phone. Finally, he called Nicolae who was immediately overcome by panic and hurriedly contacted Marion, who was still in France.
The woman quickly went to the Eiffel Tower and found Altair who looked devastated by a police car. By disguising herself as a police inspector, Marion soon made it inside the perimeter and got the information they needed.
There were 15 deaths and 22 injured victims in the terror attack, mainly at the restaurant. She found Vega's two bodyguards dead around Champ De Mars and one bodyguard in the restaurant. There was no trace of Vega or Mischa.
Alaric immediately contacted all of his former men in Rhionen Assassins. He asked them to help him find information about the whereabouts of his daughter, Mischa, and the terrorists who were courting death by disturbing his family.
The atmosphere was very tense.
Trembling, Aleksis also contacted her father and told him what had happened. Her tears broke when she heard her father's worried voice.
"We ... we are heading to Paris. Hopefully, nothing happens to Vega ..." she sobbed.
"We will also be there very soon," Caspar said quickly. "You calm down, Sweetheart.. we will find her."
Aleksis dropped her cellphone when her hand became very weak, and she could no longer hold it. Sobbing, she buried her head between her hands.
Alaric could only stare at the plane window with a clenched jaw. He tried his best to hold back his emotions so as not to overflow. He had never been this angry and sad at the same time.
Just watch ... you will pay for you've done... I will find you even to the ends of the world...
The trip to Paris lasted for five hours, and during that time, the husband and wife did not move in their place. Only their hands clasped together, and Aleksis' soft sobs showed that they were not sleeping. Their minds were a mess, and their c.h.e.s.ts were heavy.
***
Marion forced Altair to return to the hotel. She did not want the teenager to become traumatized if he stayed at the scene. She helped Altair hop into a taxi and then go to the Nobel Hotel. In her opinion, the security there was far better than the Amarylis Hotel. After arriving at the hotel, she led the young man to the penthouse and told him to rest.
"You must wait here, don't go anywhere. I can't take care of you if you went out. JM will come here soon and keep you company." Marion rubbed Altair's head and tried to calm him down. "Your father and mother will also arrive shortly before dawn. You should rest while waiting for them."
Altair could only nod weakly.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
