Chapter 1928


    As they had expected, Avery did not pick up.


    "Why don''t you try calling your boss?" Avery''s bodyguard suggested.


    Elliot''s bodyguard wanted to see the pit, as well, and called Elliot intending to ask for permission.


    "He''s not picking up either! Did they turn their phones off at the same time?"


    "Maybe. Let''s just go check that pit out! One look, and then we wille back. That way, it won''t


    take too long." Avery''s bodyguard was not scared of her, so he was more casual about the affair.


    Elliot''s bodyguard remained thoughtful for a few moments, before deciding, "Let me send Mr. Foster


    a message first."


    "I’ll send my boss a message, too."


    The two left the hotel and drove toward the suburb after sending Avery and Elliot a message.


    The sky was gloomy, and it appeared as though it was about to rain. An ominous shade of grey


    loomed over the site as they approached the pit with face masks on.


    "Unrted individuals are not allowed toe in!" A staff member came over and reminded them.


    Avery''s bodyguard wanted to take a closer look at the pit and said, "We are Elliot Foster''s


    bodyguards. We were here the day before yesterday."


    Elliot’s bodyguard was taken by surprise by how shameless his fellow bodyguard was and gaped at


    him.

    Avery''s bodyguard whispered, "It took an hour’s drive for us to get here. It''s a shame if we don''t get


    a closer look."


    The staff did not hear what he was saying, but recognized the two, as they had been here when


    Elliot and Avery hade by two days ago.


    "Why isn''t Mr. Foster and Miss Tate with you?" The staff let them into the site.


    "They were tired, so they sent us instead," Avery''s bodyguard made up an excuse.


    "Oh. Go on, then! The work here is quite boring, actually. We are just moving the bodies up from


    below and checking them. Apart from that, there''s nothing else to do," the staff informed them.


    "Yeah. It’s still quite shocking to see so many bodies at once," Avery''s bodyguard said.


    "Throughout the years I''ve worked, it''s my first time seeing something like this, as well... It''s no


    wonder that Miss Tate couldn''t take it. Has she fallen sick? I remember her saying that she wanted


    to help..." the staff said.


    "Didn''t theye here yesterday?" Elliot’s bodyguard asked.


    The staff was taken by surprise for a moment. "No! Don’t you two know their schedules?"


    "They headed out early yesterday :d-:SMW> didn''t let us follow them..." The bodyguard exined


    awkwardly. "I knew they didn''te here. They would have taken us with them if they were going


    somewhere this far."


    "Then they probably went to the hospital! The autopsies on the bodies have be quite


    overwhelming. It''s mostly just heavylifting over here, so we didn''t really need Miss Tate''s help with


    this." The staff scanned the bodyguards up and down. "Are you two here to take a look at the pit


    only?"


    They stilled.


    "To be honest with you, we are a bit short-handed." The staff sighed. "The weather isn''t all that great


    today, and it could start raining at any point. All these bodies on the ground need to be carried over


    to the truck ahead... but the trunk can''t get in... and all our staff are exhausted..."


    The two bodyguards gave each other a knowing look and said, "Let us help, then!"


    "Thank you! Thank you so much! I will grab the protective gear for you!"


    So, just like that, they started working as volunteers, despite their original intention only being to see


    the pit.


    They hurried back and forth in the pit throughout the day and returned to the hotel in the evening.


    They went into the hotel lobby and sat down in the lounging chairs.
