The group was thunderstruck by Thaddeus’s sudden burst of insight!
“Thaddeus might be onto something. Evadne could very well be on this island called ‘ROSE’!”
Elsie’s eyes sparkled with fierce hope, confirming, “I once overheard Harvey mention that Avery had bought an island he was particularly fond of, where he often went to unwind.
I didn’t pay much mind to it then, considering Avery’s vast holdings, one island seemed insignificant. But now, it’s all starting to make sense. If it were just any island, why would he care so much to check on it in person so often? That’s not his style. He must have been planning this for a while, that island must be his final hideout!”
Others might have been skeptical of such a claim.
But Elsie, once a confidant of Avery, was unlikely to be wrong in her deductions!
“Let’s head out now. I’ll pilot the chopper myself and land on the island!”
Thaddeus’s heart raced like tempestuous waves, his chest heaving with each tumultuous beat.
His eyes reddened as he holstered his gun, grabbed his phone and gear, ready to leave, only to be blocked at the door by Aaron and Bennett.
“No way, it’s too dangerous!”
Bennett spread his arms in front of him, “A hurricane’s hit the coast of Helgen City, starting tonight and lasting three days. Ports and flights are all shut down!
Flying out now in a chopper is a suicide mission!”
Thaddeus’s eyes were bloodshot, showing no signs of backing down:
“Then we’ll sail, head out to sea!”
Aaron cursed out of desperation, “That’s the same damn thing! Don’t make it so we can’t find Evadne, and then lose you too!
We get you’re anxious, but cool it! So much time has passed, if something had happened to Evadne, it would’ve already happened. What’s three more days gonna change?! But if you go now, there’s a 99% chance you won’t make it back! We can’t afford to lose anyone else!”
As Aaron’s voice trembled to a halt, his eyes welled up with tears.
“99%, but what about that 1%?”
Thaddeus struggled to contain his emotions, his voice raw with agony, “As long as there’s a sliver of hope, even if it means risking it all, I have to try!”
There was no reasoning with him, a man on the edge, especially with the only person who could calm him not by his side.
