Chapter 25: Sad Truths

Ewan

The atmosphere is tense at best as Logan, Phoenix, and I search my father’s grounds. Even though I wish to rush in and shoot him between the eyes, I know that I have to be careful. If he took Ava, it must be because of his quarrel with Logan and me. My hope is that he hasn’t hurt Ava in any way. I couldn’t bear it if he hurt someone as innocent as Ava to get back at Logan and me.

“All of the lights are off.” Logan comments. I glance at him from the vehicle’s dim interior. The only thing I can make out is the glow in his eyes and the steady sound of our breathing. I turn my gaze back to the house and inspect the grounds. It’s quiet and still.

“The men we stationed to watch him said that they saw nothing of suspicion. Stuart’s routine didn’t change at all. As he does every day, he got up, went for a round of golf, headed to work, then he had his usual late dinner at the club.”
