Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 436

When Elliot and Evan arrived at the hotel, Nola and her bodyguard were still unconscious. The duo swiftly moved them into a bedroom and locked them in, cleverly closing most of the doors and windows but leaving their escape route open. Since they weren't familiar with the person they were expecting, Elliot had meticulously planned an escape route for him and Evan, just in case.

Once everything was in order, Elliot lit the scented candle Emmett had prepared for them. Having taken an antidote in advance, the boys weren't worried about falling victim to its effects. Turning off the lights, they hid in the shadows, waiting.

After a while, Evan checked the time and whispered, "Bro, it's midnight!" Elliot took out Nola's phone and sent the location to their target. Evan was getting nervous again, "Is that all we need to do? Shouldn't we say something? Will he really come?"

"He will. If he wasn't planning to, he would've deactivated the burner phone by now. It's still active, which means he's waiting for our message. He'll come."

Suddenly, Elijah's voice came through the earpiece, "Someone's tampering with the hotel's surveillance."

"Who?" Elliot asked.

"I'm checking. Not sure if it's our guy, but don't worry, I've secured our surveillance system. They can't breach it."

Elliot nodded, then asked, "Is Mom asleep?"

"Yeah, she's sleeping soundly. Don't worry about her."

Then, through the earpiece, Elliot checked with Emmett, "Emmett, is Blossom asleep too?"

Emmett's childlike voice replied, "She's been asleep for a while. Don't worry about us. If Blossom suddenly shows up, I'll say you guys are in the bathroom."

The four of them stayed vigilant at their 'posts', working together to catch the big fish. After a bit, Elijah suddenly said, "Weird, there are two groups messing with the surveillance."

"Two?"

"Yeah, doesn't seem like the same person. One must be our guy, but who's the other?"
