Igor and Gosha agreed to meet with their parents in a cafe near the house at 16:00. They agreed that the parents would come later. Gosha, of course, was always late, but he tried to get out early. Anyway, being late and arriving 15 minutes later, Gosha sat down at a table and ordered several dishes for everyone, surprisingly Igor was never late. Suspecting something was wrong, Gosha continued to wait for Vitya, Igor and Yura, because he had no other option. Yura has already arrived, Vitya was late, but not often. Sitting and talking between himself and Yura, Gosha spontaneously looked at his watch at 16:30. Nothing bothered him, because Igor could go with Vitya. At 16:45, a breathless Victor ran into the cafe and flew into a chair at a table with apologies. The surprise of Vitya and Yura could not be described in words, 11 years after parting, they meet at the same cafe at the same table, and also find out that their adopted sons are dating. Interrupting the awkward silence that followed, Gosha: "Where's Igor?"
Victor: "Wasn't he supposed to come at 16:00?"
Yura: "When I arrived, Gosha was just sitting at the table with a bunch of dishes for all of us."
There was another awkward silence.
Gosha: "He was never more than 10 minutes late, something obviously happened to him."
Everyone started to get nervous, Yura paid the bill. After leaving the cafe in a crowd, they began to wonder what could have happened to Igor.
Gosha: "If he's late, he always warns, I think he's been stolen..."
Victor:" Don't think about such bad things."
Yura: "Well, you know that he always warns if he is delayed, for example, traffic will be blocked, he will definitely call and say: "I will be late, my traffic has been blocked," even if there is no network, he will send a message, and when the network appears, he will warn that he was not in the network coverage area and couldn't answer a call or a message"
Vitya: "Although yes, Yura, you're right."
Gosha: "Okay, you think about what you can do here, and I'll go away for a while."
Vitya and Yura: "Okay, but don't go too far and stay in touch."
After walking away, Gosha took out his phone and looked at it, the time was 17:30... It's really bad. Gosha specially put a beacon in the most inconspicuous place on Igor's jeans, because he knew that many people wanted to get Igor. After looking at the geolocation of the beacon, he went out to everyone and said: "They are going to the airport ..."
