He is one of Nick's bodyguards.
Avery looked at him and asked, "Do I look like somebody that smokes?"
"I just think you look like somebody who could use a smoke,". Replied the bodyguard.
Avery laughed and extended her hand, "If so, pass me one."
The bodyguard passed her one of the cigarettes and lit it up for her, "Nick called me just now and told me to go back."
"Alright, you can go now! I'll go back on my own," replied Avery as she tried to mimic the bodyguard and took a hit from the lit cigarette,
The moment she inhaled the smoke, she started to cough vigorously.
The bodyguard laughed and said, "Nobody takes such a large hit on their first try."
Avery was of course upset that he was laughing at her, "I would like to see how good your first time with a scalpel would be.”
"Naha! Are you mad? Things between you and Elliot Foster seemed to be improving at a lightning pace," said the bodyguard as he noticed the hickey on her neck.
"No. After finishing, he just acted as if nothing had happened. He didn't use to be like that," said Avery,
"People change according to their surroundings. Do you want to leave now, with me?" Asked the bodyguard.
Avery was shocked by how sudden the bodyguard said that, even her cigarette fell into the ocean.
"What do you mean?" Asked Avery.
The bodyguard gave her a sly smile, "I’m asking if you are going to leave now. I'm afraid that if you don't, you are going to regret it."
"Why would I regret not leaving now?" Asked Avery.
The bodyguard seeing that Avery did not get what he was saying, was adamant about revealing any more.
