Elliot could see a black car just behind them, keeping speed with the car he was in.
Elliot turned back towards the road and said, "Look for an empty place without too many people and stop the car."
"Okay,”. Replied the driver as he floored the pedal and turned into an intersection that led to an area that was less crowded.
The bodyguard, of course, followed suit.
Just as the bodyguard passed through the intersection, Elliot's car pulled over to the side of the road and stopped.
The bodyguard could only slam on the brakes.
Elliot got down from the car and calmly walked over to the bodyguard’s car.
The bodyguard cursed under his breath and wound down his window.
When Elliot saw who was tailing him, he finally understood why the car, which was so obviously tailing him, would dare to do something like that.
"Did Avery send you?" asked Elliot.
"Of course, why would I follow you if not for the boss' orders. I would rather get some sleep. Which is why you should just let me go, I'm just doing my job here," answered the bodyguard.
"Why did she ask you to follow me?" asked Elliot.
"She wants to know where you are staying at. Mr. Foster, why don't you just tell me where you live, that way I can leave you alone. My boss already said I have to tail you until I know where you live. I'm sure you don't want me up your ass for the rest of your life, right?" Proposed the bodyguard.
"Avery isn't scared of me, but why are you not scared of me also?" asked Elliot.
"Of course I am scared. Avery told me that if anything happens you can bring it up with her, don't hit me!" Exclaimed the bodyguard.
"My boss perhaps only wants to know where you live, in the case if you die unexpectedly, she would still be able to know where to find your body and give you a proper burial. It might not have to do with your new fling," continued the bodyguard.
After hearing the bodyguard’s words, Elliot could feel his temper rising.
Elliot could not help but feel that the bodyguard was cursing him.
Avery took a look at the slip of paper before tucking it in her pocket.
"No matter how good I am, I can't fight all their bodyguards, that's why I beg you to not do anything stupid," pleaded Avery's bodyguard, "Do you think I'm stupid? You did great, I'll make sure that you get a big fat bonus. Stay here and watch over him, I have to talk to the chief doctor," said Avery.
"Is it so serious that he needs the chief medical expert?" asked the bodyguard.
Avery did not tell him that the reason she was looking for the chief doctor, was not because of Jed but rather she wanted to know more about Elliot's situation.
Even though Jed broke his ribs, there was nothing too severe about his condition.
However, to Avery's dismay, the chief doctor was not at his office.
Avery even stood by the door to see if she could perhaps wait for him to come back, but alas, lady luck was not standing by her side and she could only go over to the imaging department to see if she could
take a look at Elliot's CT scan results.
