In De Ligt Hotel, Elliot did not head to the reception to ask about Hayden. Avery had done so, and if the receptionist said that there was no information, then it had to be true.
It was either that Hayden had come to Ylore with a forged identity, or he had checked out from the hotel as soon as he spotted Elliot.
Elliot had to find out if Hayden had indeed been to this hotel, and he went straight to the guard room. There he asked for this morning's surveillance footage.

He only needed to check if Hayden had checked in at the counter and examine the surveillance inside the elevators to see if he had gotten into it to determine if Hayden had truly checked into De Ligt Hotel.
Elliot keyed in the time when he ran into Hayden in the search column, but nothing came up.
He immediately tensed and his fingers stiffened around the mouse as he realized that the surveillance cameras were hacked.
He randomly keyed in other times of the day and none of the other footage had any issues. The only footage that had been deleted was the time when Hayden appeared in the hotel.
It was enough proof that Hayden was in Ylore.
He stood up and strode out of the guard room to head toward the reception.
Noticing that there was a different person at the reception, he asked, "Where is the receptionist from the morning shift?" "She just got off work." The receptionist scanned Elliot up and down and instantly recognized him. "Should I call her back here immediately?" "Call her right now," he said and headed outside.

Avery picked up almost immediately," Have you heard anything about Hayden?" "Hayden hacked the hotel surveillance cameras," he said calmly, "No one else could have done that apart from him." "He still hasn't called me." Avery had been waiting anxiously. She had checked her phone countless days >d’'=YJQ; was disappointed just as many times.
"Do you have any recent photos of Hayden? " he asked. "Send me one." "I do." She remained silent for a moment, before saying, "Are you in De Ligt Hotel right now? How about I go over and join you in your search for him? Even if he isn't in De Ligt Hotel, he has to be in another hotel." Elliot hesitated for a moment and hummed in agreement.
All things aside, finding Hayden was their top priority.
After the call with Elliot, Avery started getting ready to head out when suddenly, she received a call from Mike.
"Avery, Hayden replied to my message. He didn't say anything though, and just sent me an emoji of contempt." Mike was slightly irritated. "That brat! Just because I call him Big H, he really thinks he is all big and mighty!" "Did you tell him that | am looking for him? " Avery asked worriedly.
