The cops had lived up to their word, keeping Uche's secret from the world and also clearing his name of being Snowflake. While at the same time, searching for Snowflake with all their resources, but they found no trace of him, not even his scent was perceived, it was as if he puffed off like smoke.
Both Mira and Uche had also been relentless in their search, but Snowflake was never found.
A week passed in their relentless fruitless search, and then another week passed, and another until it turned to a month. And still Snowflake was never found, Uche had already entertained the idea of giving up on retrieving his eyes, and just descending to the vampire world with his eye patch. And he had already prepared to leave with Mira.
