Avery and Elliot had already discussed the matter that afternoon.
To prevent the woman from taking any actions apart from their agreed plan, Avery would drive while Elliot guarded the woman.

After they entered the car, Avery asked, " Now, can you tell us the address?" "Have you two been to the pit?" the woman asked.
"Yes." Elliot's face darkened. "Are you saying that Ivy's in the pit? Avery's hands clutched the steering wheel tighter. Her ears perked up, waiting for the woman's answer.
"No. She's on the other side," the woman replied with determination. "Drive over there. Once you're nearby, I'll guide you." Since the journey was long, Elliot said to Avery, "Why don't I drive!" "No need. I can drive." Avery pulled up the GPS on her phone and started driving.
The atmosphere in the car was eerily quiet.
Avery felt a little suffocated as if someone was choking her. "Is my daughter alive or dead?" "If your daughter is still alive, do you think your sweeping detailed search would yield no results?" the woman asked in response. That was a huge blow to Elliot and Avery.

Elliot's mood was extremely heavy too.
"Avery, why don't you stop the car." "It's fine. Even if she's dead, I still want to take her body home." Avery took a deep breath and held back the tears in her eyes.
Elliot looked at the woman next to him. He asked, "Is there more than one pit?" The woman hesitated for a while before responding with a rough and nasal, "Hmm." Avery's tears fell once more! Elliot felt chills run down his spine. Due to extranger, his voice was trembling. " How many pits are there!" "Two." The woman noticed how terrifying Elliot looked. She immediately said, "The pit that I'm bringing you two won't have that many bodies..." Elliot swallowed. He finally got confirmation of his daughter's death.
His eyes turned watery. He clenched his fists tightly.
"Please don't hate me... We were forced to join that gang. The women... they were all tricked into it." The woman tried hard to explain things to him as she was afraid that Elliot would take his anger out on her. They tried first luring us, but if that did not work then they would use coercion ;b.;QKX = intimidation. They told us that they would kill us if we didn't join them." "Everyone is afraid of death!" The woman thought about how nét miserable her past was. "I only left hto find a job... Who would have thought that I would be tricked into joining a criminal organization? What could I do? I didn't want to die, sol could only listen to them-" "What is your name?" Elliot asked "Seven," the woman replied. "That was my nin the organization." "What is your real name? Where is your hometown?" Elliot did not know why he was asking her these questions. Perhaps, he did not want to listen to how miserable he encounters were. Ivy had passed away. He could no longer care about the troubles of other people.
"My real nis Holly Blanche. I'm from Blenir City in Ylore." "Blenir City? That's close to the borders of Ylore." "Yes."
