An hour later, at lunchtime, teachers from each class were calling roll in preparation to take the kids to eat. However, they discovered that Audrey, Ned Mamet, and Elijah were missing. After repeated roll calls and confirmations, the three were still absent.
These three kids were significant, even Elijah, who was always under Gem Atkinson's wing.
The teachers didn't dare to take the matter lightly and hastily mobilized everyone to search.
Teacher Long was Ned Mamet's homeroom teacher and was in charge of the students' welfare during the trip; she went straight to the park's security office.
In the office, after Teacher Long explained the situation, the security manager tried to console her, "Don't panic, maybe the little creatures are being mischievous and are playing somewhere. Plus, our park is quite big."
"Could there be bad people luring kids away?" asked Teacher Long.
