Elliot hummed and helped Avery up.
"Go stay in the neighboring town. There's a signal there," Hayden said. "You can always move back here once electricity and
intee back on."
Avery and Elliot had been awake for over a day since they had not been able to rest at all on the flight to Cambrode.
As soon as Avery closed her eyes, she could not help but imagine all the horrible sights on the mountain and she could not keep
the tears from streaming down her face.

At spoint, she ran out of tears to cry.
When they arrived at the hotel, Elliot ordered food while Avery read the message she received from Robert.
[Mom, have you and Dad arrived at Cambrode? Ivy and | areing tomorrow morning. Callback when you see this. I'm really
worried.]
Avery walked over to the balcony with her phone to call Robert back, only to find that his phone was shut off, and she assumed
that he was already on the plane.
She returned to the room and replied to Robert's message. [Your dad and | are already in Cambrode. We are in the hotel right now.]
She then sent him the location of the hotel so that Ivy and Robert could meet them at the hotel.
"Elliot, Robert, and Ivy areing here."
Elliot sobered. "We didn't tell the kids when we came."
"They already know." She picked up her purse to look for the charging cable.
"Eat something when the food arrives and go to sleep!" Elliot studied her bloodshot eyes worriedly.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Her entire body was sore.

She used to be fine even when she stayed awake all night and went to work when she was younger.
"I can't sleep. Don’t worry. | won't go anywhere. I'll stay right here." Elliot trusted Hayden, and if Hayden promised to locate Layla
before nightfall, he knew that Hayden could deliver his promise.
"At least lie down for a while!" She charged her phone and sat on the bed before sighing. "We can't burden Hayden."
He walked over and sat down next to her. "We are getting old, aren't we?"
"Yeah." She lifted her chin. "We aren't as strong, as energetic, or as sharp as we were when we were young."
"Don't be so pessimistic." He wrapped his arm around her waist. "It's not the tfor it yet."
