Half an hour later, Mike had gathered a group of people and was getting ready to head to MediLove Pharmaceutical with Avery. Just then, Avery received a call from Dean.

Avery answered the call right away.

"Avery, I heard that you found evidence that proves we have Elliot Foster. Let's hear it, then?"

Dean's casual tone provoked Avery and she immediately said, "You took Elliot from Ylore and brought him here to Bridgedale and kept him in Angela's office. I found the foldable bed Elliot used in Angela's office. Dean Jennings, what do you have to say for yourself?"

"Oh... And how would you know that the bed belonged to Elliot?" Dean was not sure how they got exposed.

"The search dogs sniffed out Elliot's scent from the bed. Angela isn't answering her phone. Does she intend on having you handle everything?" Avery asked. "You have one day. If you don't return Elliot to me before dark, I will kill you and Angela. I'll do whatever it takes! You can try me if you aren't afraid of dying!"
