The next morning, Ronnie didn’t show up for breakfast. He was not in his room either. The backpack, never far from him, was gone too. The receptionist confirmed that he had left very early, in a cab to the airport. Timea called him. His phone was off. The hours began to pass by and Timea kept calling. Ronnie answered. He excused himself. He had decided to go to Skiathos. He had contacted the sponsors, who had quickly prepared everything he needed: a ticket for the first flight, a rented car, travel money. A representative from Trench Pioneer was waiting for him at the airport and gave him everything, including the key to the house of the Karides family. Ronnie apologised again to his friends for leaving like that, without notice; but as they had refused to go, he felt it was his duty to try. Stubborn young man! Timea thought. Ronnie was determined to find that journal; he was convinced that he would find it in the house on the island.

”OK, I see... I can't change your mind, even though I tried my best... Pfff... At least, try not to spend too much time there, and come back as soon as possible. Please, call us, so we know you're fine.” Timea said.

That evening, the young man had not called yet, nor answered the phone. The two spouses made a lot of calculations: sufficient time had passed. Ronnie should have already reached the holiday home three times and rummaged through it at least as many times. Ryan started searching for the phone number of police stations in Skiathos.

He provided Ronnie's full name and the address that Timea had obtained. The following day, Ryan received two phone calls, one after the other. First, the police department from the island called. The cops had searched for the young man, especially because they had received a similar request from Trench Pioneer. Unfortunately – they said – the news could not have been worse. The young man had been found dead in the courtyard of the house. The presence of the Dulays was not required, because no indications of violent death had been discovered and the student was not carrying anything, except for a backpack with a few clothes, a history book and a few pictures of Marion Karides with her parents. He was carrying his ID card, so an identification procedure was not necessary, and the people from Trench Pioneer had already assured the authorities that they would take care of all formalities.

Timea and Ryan didn’t manage to say anything before the phone rang again. This time it was Gabriel from Trench Pioneer. “I really don't know how to express more deeply my regret for this new tragedy!” He told Ryan then that this unfortunate event had been impossible to foresee or prevent. The autopsy had
