"Avery, how are you?"
"Good. Why are you here all of a sudden?" Avery asked. "We are close, and soon, we will find Elliot."
"You've done well. I came because you are certain that Elliot is here. Besides, Natalie could be hiding here as well. I feel disgusted whenever I think of what she's done." Ben scowled. "She signed a contract with Elliot, so I can wait. Once Elliot walks free, he will deal with her!"
Avery nodded. "When did you arrive?"
"I arrived at two in the morning and went to the hotel to rest for a bit. I figured you would be awake around this time and came over." Ben looked her up and down. "I heard that you were injured. Are you okay?"
"Much better now. I'm fine." Avery glanced at the kitchen.
The nanny was waiting inside and noticed Avery's gaze. "Breakfast is ready."
Avery turned to look at Ben. "Have you eaten?"
"I did at the hotel, but I can eat more." Ben walked with her to the dining room. "Is Hayden at school? Mike's still sleeping, huh?"
"If only things with you =e,
Avery bowed her head.
"Forget about us. Right now, Elliot is our top priority." Ben glanced at her. "Is there anything I can do to help? Should I look for Angela, or should I search Bridgedale for Elliot?" "Finding Angela will do. She has Elliot. Get your men to go undercover and start searching. Angela shouldn't be far." Avery picked up the glass to sip on her milk and drawled, "I am going to meet with a certain professor today to see if I can find out what Angela wants from Elliot."
Interested, Ben said, "I want to go with you."
