“Not sure. What’s wrong with Elijah,” Lowell asked, scratching his head.
“He’s giving me the evil eye, and his tone’s all off.”
“Really?”
It seemed like Elijah was harboring some resentment towards Tarquin. His words were laced with sarcasm, and his glances were challenging.
This resentment was new, only cropping up tonight.
Elijah, though usually reserved and not much of a talker, clearly adored and respected him before. He could feel it.
But tonight…
Elijah was contradicting him at every turn, even going as far as to disrespect him with a disdainful look!
Something was off tonight, and when things are off, there's usually trouble brewing!
Tarquin couldn't for the life of him connect the dots that the person he was dealing with wasn't actually Elijah. He suspected Elijah's odd behavior had something to do with that mysterious stranger!
Could the guy have said something to Elijah?
Stirring up trouble, perhaps?
No, he had to find that guy and get to the bottom of this!
“Expand the search area! That man couldn’t have just appeared out of thin air, there must be some clue! And check on that dead cat again!”
“Right away!”
...
Inside Elijah’s room.
Elliot was holding Elysia's hand, trying to comfort her, “Mom, don’t be afraid of him. If he glares at you, just glare back. If he’s mean, you be mean back. And if he dares to insult you, you give it right back!”
Elysia asked timidly, “Elliot, do you not like him?”
She could tell from Elliot’s tone that he wasn’t fond of Tarquin.
Elliot was always gentle, even to strangers he was nothing but polite. But his words to Tarquin earlier were harsh.
Considering it was their first meeting, and Elliot didn’t really know him, his attitude seemed uncalled for.
