"Isn't that a good thing? You can rest for a while."
"Stop messing around! I'm still young! My mom would be worried sick if I didn't have a job," Chad said without hesitation. "And I would be bored as well."
"I'm just kidding! I know you can't stand not having a job, just like your boss. If Avery wasn't home to keep an eye on Elliot, he would probably be working right now," Mike teased.
"Yeah. Avery needs some rest as well, so you should go back to Bridgedale. You can bring Hayden over for their wedding. Don't tell Hayden about this just yet. It's a surprise and we will wait till Christmas eve."
"Alright, I get it. I'll leave tomorrow."
...
Meanwhile, in Bridgedale, Dean had agreed to meet with Holly that morning. Excited, he woke up at five and headed out at six.
The sky was still dark, and the headlights of his car split the darkness in half.
The people who had been waiting near Dean's house spotted his car and immediately took out their walkie-talkies. They sent their colleagues, who were on the highway, a message about his departure.
Dean's car moved past the high-end residential area and drove toward the highway.
The car that was stationed by the highway waited until Dean's car had driven a little farther before it began following him from a distance. There weren't many cars on the road at this time, and if their car was too close to Dean's, it would raise suspicion.
Dean had his eyes closed, resting. Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
