NovelApp"Yeah." Avery glanced at the time. "I'm about to go hfor a nap." "Hey, it's rare enough for you to drop by and you aren't even going to spend stwith me?" Mike had two hours of lunch break.
"I don't want to disturb you while you are working. You keep saying how busy you are..." "I still have the tto meet and chat with you." Mike dragged her to his office. "Have you bought the car?" "Not yet! We ran into Sebastian when we were looking through the options so it got delayed." "Leave it to me," Mike said, before turning to Avery's bodyguard. "Giveyour haddress and the car will be delivered to your doorstep." "Thank you, Mr. Mike!" He turned back to stare at Avery. "What did you and Sebastian talk about?" "He toldthat Dean was behind the car accident Bobby was in. Dean has to be sick in the head to do something like that," she mumbled. "All the kids that died in the Jennings family might be the work of that man." "Pfft!" Mike cclose to spitting his food out.
"Do you have anything to eat in your office? I was so shocked to hear this that I couldn't eat it just now." Avery rubbed her belly as her stomach rumbled.
"What do you want, Miss Tate? I will go buy it for you," her bodyguard asked. "I think the canteen is still open so I'll head back there now." "Go ahead. I only have drinks in my office. No food," Mike said.
The bodyguard strode off. Avery scanned Mike's office and sat down on the couch.
"What a chilling theory you have there. Have you asked Sebastian about that? What did he say?" I didn't mention this to him... I don't hink he knows much because he Belie aid his father has been quite nice t lim." Avery's head was starting to urt at the thought. "If Dean Jennings really is a psychopath, hen Elliot's chance of survival is Ainimal because I have no clue as o why Dean would kidnap him." "If he is a psychopath, he might not have a motive to begin with." Mike propped his hands on his hips and stood before her. Nothing in my research indicated that he is that kind of person, though!" "Neither did your research indicate the fact that Dean was behind Bobby's car crash. Things aren't always what they seem :c): QNT= sometime's you can't tell what's wrong judging from the surface she said." I remember this news report about a serial killer who killed a lot of people a decade ago and the police failed to find him the entire time, do you know why?" "Because surveillance cameras weren't a thing a decade ago." Avery shot him an annoyed glare. "It's because everyone in the neighborhood knew him to be the humblest man in the area. No one could imagine that he was the killer." "But Dean Jennings isn't exactly a known humble man." "It's just an example. Something has to be wrong for so many children to die in the Jennings family. If this was any other family of high status, they would have strengthened the security if anyone was killed to make sure that the sthing doesn't happen again, but not the Jennings. This means that Dean Jennings doesn't care that his children are dying." "You are right, Avery. Something must be wrong with Dean Jennings." Mike had not thought of it that one, and instantly realized the truth after hearing what Avery had to say.
"Which is why I have to get Elliot out as soon as possible. The Jennings family is a hellhole that's scarier than even the basement we were locked in back in Ylore!" She felt a lump forming in her throat as she muttered.
