Caleb and Aidyn watched the chopper vanish into the distance, then exchanged a knowing look.
Caleb, swallowing his rage, quickly ordered his guys to track the helicopter's path.
They returned to the villa, planning to follow Ethan once they had the route.
They found a voice recorder, a tape, and a note addressed to 'Bernard' in Eleanor's bedroom.
"Caleb, these were all under the note. Looks like Ms. Shultz left them for Mr. Laurence."
Caleb took the items and played the voice recorder. Hearing the familiar voice from it, he froze, turning to Aidyn, "This is..."
Aidyn's face hardened, "It's Ms. Shultz's voice."
Aidyn took the tape from Caleb, saved it on a USB, and plugged it into the computer.
The video made them uneasy.
Holding the items tightly, Aidyn said to Caleb, "You go after Ethan. I need to head back to A City and let Mr. Laurence make the call."
Caleb looked serious, nodded, and went after Ethan with his guys. Aidyn quickly returned to A City.
Before entering the sickroom, he gripped the items tightly.
He wasn't sure if Mr. Laurence could handle the news, but he didn't want to keep it from him any longer.
Determined, Aidyn gathered his courage, pushed open the door, and approached Bernard.
Bernard, lying in the hospital bed, brightened slightly at Aidyn's entrance, "Did you find her?"
Seeing that Mr. Laurence's mind was still on Eleanor, Aidyn sighed, gripping the recorder and USB tightly.
He was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head, "Not yet."
Bernard frowned, giving Aidyn a cold look, "Then why are you back here?"
Aidyn handed Bernard the items, "I came back to ask if you want to continue searching for Ms. Shultz."
Bernard didn't quite understand what Aidyn meant and thought something had happened to Eleanor, his heart pounding.
