Grey got down and released a sigh. It felt good to be back in Jacksonville.
A message popped up on his phone, just as he took it from aeroplane mode. It was from Charles and he only informed him that he had arrived in Jacksonville.
Grey smiled at this and turned towards one of his men. "Is the suite ready?"
The man nodded briefly. "Yes, boss."
The night before, Grey and Charles went through their plans again. Grey informed him that he wasn't going to lodge in one of his hotels and suites because Giovanni and Alex could really be watching, especially with the trick they were going to play the next morning.
"What if? Just what if Alex is able to get to me?" Charles had asked a question that hadn't come to Grey's mind.
After several minutes of thought, Grey said. "If that happens, we will have to make sure he doesn't leave Jacksonville. We could send a letter to him, from his father or anyone. Something that would make him stay longer till we think of what to do with him. He must be around until the announcement."
"Something like that?" Aphrodite probed further.
Grey looked at her. "He might not need to speak directly with his father. We could make him not to. We could send him a letter telling him to stay till the announcement day. Well, we all know what Giovanni plans to do for him with his newly found power. And we could state that he wasn't to contact him until the day of the announcement," he explained.
They had all nodded in agreement.
The men led Grey to the car quickly. Grey got inside and went through his message again, sure that there was none from Charles. According to the plan, Charles was supposed to message him if the plan fail. So, they would prepare the letter as the plan B.
If Charles hadn't messaged, it only met that things were still going fine.
He placed a call, instead to Douglas, one of the special members. Douglas picked it up after the second ring.
"Hello, Hercules."
"Hi, Douglas. I'm sorry for calling at this moment. I only wanted to ask about how far you've gone and what is the assurance that everything we discussed was going smoothly?"
"Well, it's good news, Hercules. We were able to get one more vote from the special members. The other one seemed to have finally become Giovanni's supporter," he revealed.
Grey released a sigh. He had been bothered, especially after his discussion with Aphrodite and Charles the night before. If the plan doesn't go accordingly, what was he supposed to do? Some things would definitely be unrepairable. Things like Giovanni celebrating his success especially the fact that he would become one of the special members.
"Alright. Till then," he finished and hung up.
Grey smiled. He was almost close.
His phone beeped suddenly. It was a message from Charles. He hasn't been caught by Alex but they've been searching everywhere for him. And he might even leave unnoticed soon.

Avery knew Chloe's schedule, that is if she hasn't changed them. But she decided to check and see. Well, she had no choice as she lost Chloe's contact already.
There was a boutique that Chloe always visited every Saturday when Avery was still in Jacksonville.
Avery arrived at the boutique in less than thirty minutes. She hesitated before she walked inside.
One of the salespeople moved closer to Avery. "Hello, ma'am. What would you like to get?"
Avery gave the whole place a brief scrutiny. "Just some clothes for my size. That will be fine."
"Please, come with me," the salesperson started walking away, and Avery followed.
They walked around for some minutes, with Avery picking some clothes.
