"Not yet. I only found out that they were in Ylore last night." Nick yawned. "The pit is located in the outskirts of the city, with people working constantly there to recover the bodies. Elliot and Avery's bodyguards were there yesterday, but they didn't see the two of them anywhere."
"Mr. Felix, who do you think would harm them?" Chad asked gloomily.
"I really can't put my finger on it. I've stayed up all night thinking about it and, still, not a clue. I called Edward and Ted, and they were both shocked when I told them about this. I am the closest to Eliot amongst them, but he is quite close to those two as well. They aren't in Ylore at the moment, but they said to let them know if we need help with finding Elliot." What Nick meant to tell Chad was that, if there was someone who dared harm Elliot in Ylore, it had to either be Edward or Ted, but they had no motivation to do so.
"I heard that there’s another prisoner who went missing with them. Has anyone found her yet?" Chad had received a detailed message from Mike as soon as he had landed and could not help but feel like something was off.
If it was someone other than Elliot or Avery who had gone missing, he would have concluded that this was a kidnapping case, but how had a prisoner kidnapped Elliot and Avery?
"No. There's someone pulling the strings, for sure," Nick said. "Elliot was with Avery, and that prisoner might be a pawn of another force. Why else would all three of them go missing at the same time? The car they rented was found near the train station, but the control panel inside the car was destroyed. Elliot and Avery couldn't have done that, right? The situation isn't looking that good."
Chad paled at his words. Had he not been sitting on the couch, he would have collapsed.
After talking to Nick, Chad called Mike back, who had not slept, either.
"Chad, what's going on over there now?" If he did not have to look after Layla and Robert, Mike would have followed Chad to Ylore.
