His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1909

"Hmm, we've just reached." Elliot took a bottle of water, twisted the cap off, and passed it to Avery.

Avery accepted the bottle and drank some water.

"Do you want to eat something?" Elliot took the desserts he brought over and passed them to her. "I'm afraid you might not be able to eat anything tonight.”

Avery shook her head, pushed open the car door, and got out of the car.

After getting out of the car, she walked forward a little while before seeing the tape all around. Beyond the tape, there were many people busy at work.

The pit was in the old cellar of a dilapidated brick house. The cellar had originally been used to store food. No one had expected the crime organization to use it as a burial pit!

The brick house was dilapidated with tall weeds obscuring it. On the ground, there were many skeletons. Some were complete and others were not.

Avery stood by the cordon tape, looking at the scene in front of her. Her eyes could not help but turn wet.

She thought of how Ivy would have died in there, surrounded by the bones of the dead. She did not know how much she must have suffered while she was still alive. Avery was extremely heartbroken!

Elliot talked to the staff there for a while before walking to Avery. He held her hand and walked past the cordon tape.

"Don't cry. Our daughter might not be here. " He took a tissue and passed it to her.

She accepted the tissue and wiped her tears dry. She strode into the pit.

After getting closer, the smell of rot and mold became stronger. It penetrated through her, making her dizzy.

Elliot did not expect the smell would be so strong. He immediately took Avery and retreated.

"You need to wear a mask." A staff member passed them a mask. "If you're planning to head down to the pit, you have to wear protective gear too. It's one thing being smelly. The most important thing is the number of bacteria and viruses down below

Elliot passed the mask to Avery before quickly putting it on himself.

"Avery, calm down." Elliot bent down in front of her and looked into her eyes. "Our daughter might not be in that pit."

"Even if our daughter isn't there, those bones belonged to other people," Avery choked and said, "Even if our daughter is still alive, she might be tortured somewhere else..."

"Stop thinking about it!" Elliot felt as if someone was cutting his heart open. His eyes darkened and grief appeared. "It's all my fault! I couldn't protect her well!"

"Elliot, stop talking about it! I didn't recognize my child. I can't blame anyone else either!" Tears fell from Avery's eyes. She pushed him away, hard. "I want to be alone! Let me have some peace!"

Elliot looked at the tears on her face. He pursed his lips tightly.

He walked out of the room and gently closed the door. Then, he stood by the door, not leaving.

Soon after, he heard her crying.
