"What have you been so busy with?" Elliot asked as his seething gaze bore into Avery.

Avery finished tending to his wound, then turned and packed up the first aid kit.

"I've been busy with work," she answered casually.

"You're lying. If it's work, then why aren't you going to the office?"

Elliot sat up straight, then grabbed onto Avery's arm and continued, "You've been giving me a weird

vibe recently. I can't read you at all."

"What's there to read?" Avery said. "Listen, Elliot. I'm thankful that you saved me last night and I can

buy you dinner... Or I could give you a medal."

Elliot was taken by surprise as he released Avery's arm and said, "I didn't save you for your thanks.

Take your daughter and go! Also, that bratty son of yours messed with my home's power and internet

today. If you won't discipline him, then don't mind if I do so myself!"

"I'm sorry," Avery apologized awkwardly. "I'll teach him a lesson when I get back. I promise this won't

happen again."
