So many kidnappings started to happen in the town called Nishille. A girl was reading the news on her phone. Suddenly she got a notification saying, "you were added to the group chat." She opened the message. Slowly, so many other people were also added to the group chat. When the group chat had 16 people, the admin changed the group''s name to ''Suspects''. Everyone was confused, then the admin started typing.


    ???: Hello. From today onwards you guys are the prime suspects of the kidnappings that have been happening around recently.


    ''Alex'': And how could we be the prime suspects when you are the kidnapper?


    ???: Well, of course I am the kidnapper, but my real identity is still a mystery and that real me''s phone number is also in this group chat. What you all have to do now is to find that one person who is behind these kidnappings and you will be out of the suspects list.


    ''Mary'': Why are you doing this and why do you want to get caught by shortlisting the suspects?


    ???: Well you see, I want to see something interesting. It''ll be fun to see you guys trying to solve the case desperately. Life is so boring without some real life adventures, after all.


    ''Donkey'': Are you for real?!


    You are only doing this because you are bored?!


    Are you a psychopath?


    ???: Yes.


    ''Coolguy69'': But why us?


    ???: Well... You guys are the smartest people in this town.


    ''Eva'': How can you say that with so much certainty?


    ???: I have your personal details, your academic details, your actions that make you eligible for this group chat, and so on.


    So your time starts now.


    ''Phantom'': Like we will listen to you, we don''t care about who the culprit is.


    We just need our peace of mind. It will be fine as long as we know that we are not the kidnapper, and what will happen if we don''t listen to you?


    ???: I will leak these suspects list to the people of this town. Plus, don''t you think it''s a little bit selfish to think about your "peace of mind" when the people I kidnapped are suffering a few miles away from you? How can you sleep well after knowing the fact that you were one of the 15 people who could''ve saved them from their sufferings?


    The choice is all yours.


    The kidnapper went offline after that.


    Everyone discussed it and came to the conclusion that they''ll investigate this. Everybody introduced themselves in the group chat.


    ''Alex'': I''m Alex, obviously as in my profile.


    ''Mary'': I''m Mary.

    In the chat: Vishnu.


    In the chat: Akbar.


    In the chat: Satoshi.


    In the chat: Catherine.


    In the chat: Meera.


    In the chat: Annie.


    In the chat: Trevor.


    She introduced herself.


    In the chat: I''m Misty.


    Misty: Hey guys, can we all meet up tomorrow?


    We need to discuss a lot of things.


    Satoshi: You are right, but where?


    Misty: At the Graveyard.


    Trevor: Graveyard? Are you into some sort of horror shit.


    Misty: No, I meant the cafe Graveyard.


    Trevor: Who names their cafe graveyard?


    Anyways, I don''t know where this cafe is.


    Mary: You totally don''t go outside much, do you?


    It''s the most popular cafe out here, you will find your way.


    Btw, time?


    Misty: 12 pm, if you all are fine with it.


    The next day in the Graveyard cafe


    "So guys where were you all when you were added to this group chat. I was at home," said Misty.


    Trevor, Ralph, Catherine, Akbar, Alex, Vishnu, Satoshi, and Annie said that they were at home as well. Mary said that she was at her aunt''s house helping her aunt to make cookies. Meera said that she was at the hospital. Tony said that he was at the gym. Vincent said that he went to get the groceries. Evelyn said that she was at her Karate class. Cheng said that he was coming back from the library.


    "Okay guys, I have a plan to catch the kidnapper right now, right away. Well, it''s more like 1% chance. Anyways, to come to the point, I know that Trevor is a hacker, so I-" said Misty.


    Catherine interrupted her. "Wait a minute, how do you know that?"


    "Well, he was caught by the police for hacking into the government stuff."


    "Yeah, he''s Jonathan James 2.0," said Mary.


    "I''m not that great, which is exactly why I got caught so easily but I can do simple stuff," said Trevor.


    "Okay, but how were you so sure of that? It could have been a random Trevor. Plus you only saw him today for the first time," said Catherine.


    "Well I thought it couldn''t be any random since the kidnapper said that he picked the "smartest" for this. So I just simply asked Trevor if he''s the same Trevor."


    "Hmm, makes sense," said Akbar.


    "So what I was getting to was that Trevor will check into ours and this kidnapper''s yesterday''s location and see if these two cells were in close range," said Misty. Trevor looked into the location of these people. Everyone''s cell who said they were outside showed the exact location they said they were in yesterday. Everybody else''s locations were random since they were at home including Mary''s since she was at her aunt''s house. However, the kidnapper wasn''t anywhere near them. In Fact the kidnapper was not even in their town itself, they were at the nearest town.


    "How could it be possible?" said Alex.


    "It''s possible, if they''re a hacker as well, they could do some hacking. Not only that, there could be a helper as well," said Trevor.


    "Hacker, you say, there''s only one hacker in our group," said Meera.


    "They could be hiding that fact from us," said Trevor.


    "Could be a helper as well, since there''s a total of 5 people kidnapped so far. It''s not easy for a person to hide 5 people alone. Even though it''s not that hard it''s not that easy either," said Misty.


    "What do we do now?" said Cheng.


    "There''s so many things we could do but for now I have a proposition to all of you," said Misty.


    "A proposition?" said Cheng.


    "Yes," she glanced at everyone. "Let''s all move to one house until we find out who the kidnapper is."


    "It''s only a logical reaction considering that it will help us all monitor each other''s actions. I don''t mind it but we need a house for that," said Akbar.


    "I arranged it. Well, more like I have it, a house spacious enough for all of us. When Misty asked about it before everyone arrived, I immediately said that we could stay in my big house," said Satoshi.


    "So far, me, Ralph, Mary, Meera, Satoshi, and now Akbar agreed to this proposition. You can tell me if you''re against this, if not you don''t have to say anything," said Misty.


    Nobody said anything against it, that meant everyone agreed to her proposition. "So tomorrow we will all meet here again and then Satoshi will lead us to this house, so pack your bags and be here tomorrow. By the way, it''s my cafe," said Misty.


    "Yes, it totally makes sense. The name of this cafe is as weird as you," said Trevor. They all went back to their home agreeing to meet-up and move to that house tomorrow.
