The expression is "Anybody
see Lila ? " Perhaps that
violates the " rule ", but that is the way it is. At any rate,
that is short for " Does anybody see Lila ", which is a variation of
" Has anybody seen Lila ? " ( I sure hope they find Lila soon. )

It's an elliptical sentence that has lost the
auxiliary verb, so
' sees
' would sound rather strange. |
