There is a sudden meeting that the Police Chief would like to discuss. Everyone fell silent and focused on the Police Chief, who is currently taking care of his PowerPoint presentation. Everyone was shocked when he suddenly showed his presentation, and the first thing they witnessed was the moment where the first contestant died from the explosion. Everyone starts sharing their reaction to their fellow police officers.

"Attention!" The chief of police shouted, and everyone fell silent again. "The reason why I arranged the sudden meeting is to talk about the show where the elimination method is by killing them one by one every week until there's only one contestant left." Then the police chief clicks the next button to show the poster of the reality show.

"This is the poster that became popular throughout the whole internet. This also explains why there are only ten contestants throughout the whole show with the winning prize of thirty million dollars. This means there are only nine contestants left where the next challenge will be aired this Saturday. Now we only have eight weeks to rescue the rest of the contestants. "

Then the chief of police showed the next panel. It shows the volleyball court where the contestant plays the sport. "Now the only evidence in order to locate the location is this inside volleyball." I want all of you to search the entire Crite State Area for the inside volleyball court. Understand? "

"Sir, yes sir!" Everyone shouted in sync.

"Sir!" Detective Kathy raises her right hand. "We have a problem!"

"And what seems to be our problem?" The Chief of Police inquired.

"There are only two volleyball courts in the Crite State Area. The first one was used for the local arena, and the second one was used for national and international competition. Both of the volleyball courts are set outside. The only court that was set inside was the basketball court. There is a probability that the show was held outside the Crite State Area or from another country. " Detective Kathy explained.

"About the show being held outside the state or other country, I have already contacted and held a meeting for the chief police international. They are also doing the same thing. Search for the remaining contestant. Now we must find the remaining eight before they all die from the challenges. Now start the operation! Dismissed! " Everyone stands up and, one by one, leaves the room. "Detective Kathy, I want you to stay for a moment. This is urgent.

Everyone left the room. Only the Chief of Police and Detective Kathy were left in the meeting room. The chief police officer opens the image from his laptop and shows it to Detective Kathy, who suddenly feels shocked. It was a picture of one of the contestants, the brown-haired woman. "I notice this contestant looks exactly like yours." Now do you have a twin sister? " Detective Kathy's hand slowly shakes as she slowly responds in whispers. "Yes, sir."

"I see. It looks like one of the contestants is your twin sister. But don't worry, we will find her. " Chief Police said as he stood up and left the room, leaving only Detective Kathy, who was still shivering in the meeting room. She looked down as she let her tears fall from her eyes.

Tons of Youtubers make videos about their reactions to the reality show.

Detective Kathy silently watches one of the YouTube videos that relates to the reality show in the passenger seat. It was raining so hard, and she had no choice but to share a ride with her best friend, Jeff, who is the owner of the car. It was already evening and both of them were exhausted from the search and rescue. They still have no clue where the show was held. They both decided to take a drive through McDonald's for their dinner. After they paid and received their order, Jeff parked his car in the parking area and ate their dinner.

"Kathy, I noticed something from one of the contestants in the reality show. That brown woman, she looks exactly like you. Like I feel that you are one of the contestants. " Jeff says to Kathy as he bites into his big mac.

"Well, because it was my twin." Kathy responded. Jeff was shocked by what he heard.

"Wait, you have a twin sister?" "Jeff?" he asks, his mouth full.

"Yes, but it's been so long since she decided to leave us."

Flashback

"Katherine! "Please don't leave us." Kathy yells from the door, who is six years old. She watches her father and her twin sister enter the car. Kathy, with no hesitation, quickly ran to the car and started banging on the door. "Please, dad! Kathy! Don't leave us! " Kathy keeps begging as the car drives away. She tried to chase it, but unfortunately she immediately tripped. She watched as the car disappeared from her vision. She cries as her mother reaches for her.

"I'm so sorry, Kathy." Her mother hugs her as she slowly cries. "It's my fault that your dad decided to file for divorce. I'm so sorry! "

Kathy and her mother cry as the dog barks loudly and some of their neighbors watch them from a distance.

Flashback concludes

"Let's not talk about my twin sister, shall we?" she said as she took a bite of her bacon and cheese sauce loaded fries.

"Sure, if you insist." Jeff replied.
