The absence of Axl worries him the most. If he's hiding from him as a game, then it's fine - but if he's doing it on purpose...
If the Professor could have contacted him, then maybe he contacted Axl, too. Took advantage of the kid. Coerced him into doing something he didn't want to do. And that burns him up inside, makes him furious. Red Alert wasn't to be toyed with - Axl wasn't something to be toyed with. Full potential or not, better to have him happy and safe than to leave him in the hands of others.
He wanders down another corridor, recalling memory data of the hiding places Axl liked to use. Small, narrow places Red couldn't get in but could only check (he'd found him anyway, squashed into some small alcove, laughing or pouting when he was caught. The memories are bright).
"If I were you, where would I go..." he hums, kneeling to check a crawlspace briefly.
To Axl, his footsteps sound closer, now. His voice, too. But if there's anything Red has taught Axl, it's to hold his nerve, right?
