Areson :

Nowhere. She's nowhere to be seen.
I called her. Maybe she left willingly. I wouldn't blame her though, she deserves better.

"Ares we've got a problem." Avery announced as he entered my office in a rush.

"Does it have to do with her?" I asked...

"Really? The only thing you can think about now is her? Ares the police is after us because they think we caused the explosion. Come down to earth for at least 5 minutes to understand this." he angrily said, looking really stressed.

"What evidence do they have?" I ask, trying to focus at this problem.

"John's the problem, he's the evidence they have for now. They are sure that he caused the explosion." Nathaniel says as he comes in the office and approaches my desk.

"Where's John right now?" I ask.

"He and his men are practically hiding but it won't last long." Avery answers.

I was going to say something, but then Elaine entered the office.

"Mr. Kingstone there's somebody here to meet you... I think you have met before." She said, avoiding to look me in the eyes.
I'll have to talk to her sometime.

"Oh it can't be him." Avery says in disappointment as he ironically laughs.

"Who is 'him' Avery?" I ask, becoming more and more suspicious.

"Oh c'mon Ares think about it and link all these things together." He starts saying...

"Elaine please tell him to wait." I interrupt Avery.

"Wait a minute..." I say...

"The explosion materials Alastair used..."I start to figure out...

"The explosion materials and one of the cars in which Alastair showed up... We've seen them before" I continue...

"No way..." I laugh...

"Don't let him come in." Avery suggests...

"Don't let him come in so me and John can deal with him later...You know what I mean." he says...

"No. We're not doing that." I answer, determined.

"Elaine let him in." I tell her.

"Oh God." I say as I lower my head and smile ironically.

Avery slightly frowns and rolls his eyes because I didn't listen to him.

"Probably lost something Mr. Perez? Is there anything you are searching for? Like death? I can help you, you know." I say, still annoyed and at the same time surprised.

"Oh hello Mr. Kingstone, it's been quite a while don't you think?" He says as he approaches my desk.

"I just passed by to say hi." he adds while smiling...

"Oh and to cause an explosion too, I think you forgot this one." Avery says, his face dead serious.

"You are really smart, aren't you? Well, nobody actually planned the explosion so thoroughly, it was just something to impress you." he says with an arrogant smile.

"The police is now after John I demand you to fix that." I say.

"Is that what concerns you the most right now?" he says, slightly smiling, as if implying something...

"Or is it..." he starts talking...

"Don't you dare." I interrupt him as I give him a threatening look.
