And that I cannot do so because His Body is missing.... Someone has taken His Body away.... But I don't know where His Body is... Who can help me find His Body?...

Very likely, the two angels inside the tomb of Jesus will have been there when Mary Magdalene looked inside the tomb the first time. They will have been there as well when Peter and John looked inside the tome and even went inside. But somehow she and the other two disciples had not seen them at that time.However, this time she is allowed to see them. Had she left with the other two disciples she would have missed seeing these two angels.And these two angels are somewhat mystified as to why she is crying as you can read in John 20:13-14

They asked her, "Woman, why are you crying?" "They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put Him." At this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there but she did not realise it was Jesus.

Obviously the angels have a very different perspective on the situation but, after all, they are angels and not human beings. So Mary Magdalene tries to explain to them why she carries so much grief.
