"Not yet. | only found out that they were in Ylore last night." Nick yawned. "The pit is located in the outskirts of the city, with
people working constantly there to recover the bodies. Elliot and Avery's bodyguards were there yesterday, but they didn't see the
two of them anywhere."
"Mr. Felix, who do you think would harm them?" Chad asked gloomily.
"I really can't put my finger on it. I've stayed up all night thinking about it and, still, not a clue. | called Edward and Ted, and they
were both shocked when | told them about this. | am the closest to Eliot amongst them, but he is quite close to those two as well.
They aren't in Ylore at the moment, but they said to let them know if we need help with finding Elliot." What Nick meant to tell
Chad was that, if there was someone who dared harm Elliot in Ylore, it had to either be Edward or Ted, but they had no motivation
to do so.

"I heard that there's another prisoner who went missing with them. Has anyone found her yet?" Chad had received a detailed
message from Mike as soon as he had landed and could not help but feel like something was off.
If it was someone other than Elliot or Avery who had gone missing, he would have concluded that this was a kidnapping case, but
how had a prisoner kidnapped Elliot and Avery?
"No. There's someone pulling the strings, for sure," Nick said. "Elliot was with Avery, and that prisoner might be a pawn of another
force. Why else would all three of them go missing at the stime? The car they rented was found near the train station, but the
control panel inside the car was destroyed. Elliot and Avery couldn't have done that, right? The situation isn't looking that good."
Chad paled at his words. Had he not been sitting on the couch, he would have collapsed.
After talking to Nick, Chad called Mike back, who had not slept, either.
"Chad, what's going on over there now?" If he did not have to look after Layla and Robert, Mike would have followed Chad to Ylore.
"The control panel of the car they rented from the hotel was destroyed. There's no sign of blood, but they were definitely
kidnapped! The person who kidnapped them hasn't contacted us, which means they didn't do it for money... Nick suspects that
they might have been killed." Chad choked on his voice. "lI don't know what to do! There's no trace ?e*;XLX: no hope of finding
them..."
As soon as Mike answered the call, Hayden snatched his phone away; his expression darkened as he listened to Chad.
He returned the phone to Mike. "Stay hto take care of my brother and sister. | am going to Ylore to look for Mom!" he said,
before hurrying into his room to pack. He cout with his backpack shortly after.
"Hayden, | remember you inserting a chip into your mom's phone before," Mike suddenly remembered. "Have you tried locating
her phone?"

"There's no signal in Ylore. | need to build a station over there to capture it," Hayden said, before leaving without any further delay.
The only reason he had not followed Chad to Ylore the night before was that he had needed tto prepare everything. Now that
he was fully prepared, it would take no more than three days for him to track his mother's phone once he arrived in Ylore.
Once he found Avery's phone, he would be able to trace everywhere she had been in the past few days, and, even if Avery did not
have her phone with her, they would be able to determine what had happened to her.
Mike called Chad after Hayden left." Hayden is now going to Ylore."
Chad scowled. "Why is he coming here? Doesn't he have school? He won't be of any help here. You can't just let him do whatever
he wants.” "Relax! No one can stop him once he's set
his mind on something," Mike said casually. "Besides, he's not going to you once he arrives."
