It had been a week, and the chances that Elliot was still alive were slim.

Once they managed to get access to those places, they might be able to find Elliot, but it would already be too late.
One hour later, Ben found Avery, who was standing at the accident site, frozen like a statue made out of stone.
He grabbed onto her arm and dragged her toward the car.
"Your fever has only just gone down. You are going to catch a cold again,” Ben said sternly. "Mike is really worried about you. He toldto take you to the hospital once I find you." "I'm fine. Why should | have to go to the hospital?" She stared at him and said stubbornly, "lI want to find Gary. Taketo him!" "Why would you go to Gary?" Ben retorted." Do you think that he's the one who killed Elliot? So what if it was him? Avery, this is his territory. We are no match for him.
Calm down. Once we find Elliot's body, we will take him back to Aryadelle and give him a proper funeral.” "I am not going after him for revenge. | am going to him to look for Elliot," Avery choked on her words and continued, "I think he is hiding Elliot. Why else would it be this difficult to find Elliot?! This makes no sense! The rescue team has been looking for a week! How could they not find a body? The body must have been taken away!" Ben's heart sank. "Why would Gary want Elliot's body? He is a businessman, not a corpse collector. | can't think of a reason why he would do such a thing!" "You can't imagine why because you are a normal human being." The suspicion within Avery only grew deeper. "Isn't it strange to you? We are here, and it's almost like Gary has vanished into thin air. He is hiding from us because he is guilty, right? He has to givean explanation!" "His men explained tothat he was admitted to the hospital because of depression.” "Oh, let's go visit him in the hospital, then!" Avery got into the car. "Do you have his number? Or just contact his men, if you don't. If he refuses to see me, | am going to his house to look for him." "Do you even know where his house is?" "I don't, but | can find out. | can log into Elliot's social media account. He >a.?WKV: Gary share scommon friends." Seeing how determined she was, Ben immediately gave Gary’s man a call to find out where he was.
One hour later, Ben brought Avery to Gary's mansion.

"Please take a seat." Avery sat down next to Gary.
"It's been a while, Miss Tate. You look even paler than you did before," laughed Gary." I've also been grieving over Elliot's death as well." "You don’t look like you are grieving." Avery stared at his face and said, "If he's alive, you won't be able to keep him hidden, but if he is dead and you are keeping his body, aren't you scared that he might cback to haunt you?!" "Tsk tsk! You are so resentful, Miss Tate, perhaps | should be worried about you coming back to hauntinstead,” Gary retorted viciously. "l was nice to you only because of Elliot! Now that he is gone, do you really think | would put up with you?" "Gary, all Avery wants is the truth. It's not just her; | need the truth as well. The rescue team has been at work for a whole week now, and they have found nothing. How does that even make sense?" Ben said.
"And so, the two of you chere demanding that | deliver Elliot to you?" Gary sneered. "Fine, you can have him." Gary gave his servant a look and the servant brought a document to Avery shortly after.
