Nkosi finished his work for the day and headed home, feeling a sense of unease still lingering in his mind. He had decided to take Sakhile's advice and talk to Nokukhanya about Tina, but he wasn't sure how she would react.

As he drove home, he stopped to buy some flowers and chocolate for Nokukhanya, hoping to soften the blow of the conversation they were about to have.

He arrived home at 19:20, expecting to see Nokukhanya waiting for him in the living room. But to his surprise, the house was empty.

He tried calling her, but she didn't answer. He tried again, but still no answer. This was unlike Nokukhanya, she always answered his calls.

Nkosi started to feel a sense of panic rising up in his chest. He checked his phone again and saw that he had missed a message and call from Nokukhanya while he was still at work.

He quickly opened the message, his heart racing with anticipation. The message read: "Hey love, I'm having coffee and lunch with Tina at a Mugg and Bean in Mall of Africa. I should be back home before you get back from work. Enjoy the rest of your day. Love you."

Nkosi's eyes widened in shock as he read the message. Tina? Why was Nokukhanya having coffee with Tina?

He felt a wave of anger wash over him, followed by a sense of panic. He tried calling Nokukhanya again, but she still didn't answer.

He quickly dialed Unathi's number, his voice shaking with urgency. "Unathi, it's Nkosi. I need your help. Nokukhanya's not answering my calls and I'm getting worried."

Unathi's voice was calm and reassuring. "Nkosi, calm down. I'm sure she's fine. Maybe her phone died or something."

But Nkosi was beyond reason. "I need you to find her, Unathi. I need you to make sure she's safe."

Unathi's tone turned serious. "Okay, Nkosi. I'll find her. But you need to calm down and think clearly. We don't know what's going on yet."

Nkosi took a deep breath, trying to calm down. But his mind was still racing with worst-case scenarios. He quickly dialed Samkelo's and Sakhile's numbers, telling them to meet him at his house.

He needed his boys to help him find Nokukhanya and make sure she was safe. He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong.

As Nkosi waited for his boys to arrive, he paced back and forth in his living room, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios. Where was Nokukhanya? Why wasn't she answering his calls?

Unathi arrived first, followed closely by Samkelo and Sakhile. They could see the worry etched on Nkosi's face and knew that something was seriously wrong.

"What's going on, Nkosi?" Unathi asked, his voice calm and reassuring.

"Nokukhanya's not answering my calls," Nkosi replied, his voice shaking with urgency. "And I just found out that she was having coffee with Tina."

The boys exchanged worried glances. Tina was trouble, and they all knew it.

"I've been trying to trace her phone," Unathi said, "but it seems to be disconnected from the networks in South Africa."

Nkosi's eyes widened in alarm. "What does that mean?"

Unathi's expression was grim. "It means that someone has deliberately disconnected her phone from the network. We can't track her."

The boys fell silent, their minds racing with the implications. Where was Nokukhanya? And who had taken her?

"We need to find her," Nkosi said, his voice low and even. "We need to find her now."

The boys nodded in agreement, their faces set with determination. They would do whatever it took to find Nokukhanya and bring her home safely.

"Let's strategize," Samkelo said, his voice calm and logical. "We need to think about where she could be and who could have taken her."

Sakhile nodded. "I'll check the security cameras around Mall of Africa. Maybe we can get a lead on where she went after meeting Tina."

Unathi nodded. "I'll try to hack into the phone networks and see if I can find any information about Nokukhanya's phone."

Nkosi's eyes narrowed. "I'll pay a visit to Tina and see if she knows anything."

The boys nodded, their faces set with determination. They would leave no stone unturned in their search for Nokukhanya.
