"Do you know his number?" she asked.
"No. I don't know him in person but we have a mutual friend. I can try to see if I can ask about it. What do you want with him, though?"
"There's something I need his help with. Please help me check with that mutual friend of yours."
"Sure. I'll keep you posted."
Meanwhile, in Aryadelle, Elliot had regained consciousness and stared dazed at the ceiling. All his memories came rushing back to him from the moment he opened his eyes.
Life seemed to have resumed to normal in the past days, giving him an illusion that everything was going to be alright; but the headache last night had burst his bubble.
He knew that Dean was behind it. He had scammed a fortune out of Dean and so Dean had been doing everything he could to gain control over Elliot.
Elliot did not doubt that Avery must have been blackmailed last night following his headache.
"Big Brother," a pleasant voice called out, pulling him back to reality.
He glanced over and was confused when he saw Shea. "Shea? Why are you here?"
He looked outside the window past Shea and noticed that it was dawn.
