Nang Namulat Ang Kanyang Mata

Kabanata 340 

Ang mga pinto sa itim na Rolls-Roice ay naka-lock sarado.

Nakaupo si Avery sa kotse na puno ng panghihinayang.

Hindi pa siguro siya ganap na gising nang pumasok siya sa sasakyan noong umagang iyon.

Sa oras na siya ay hopped ito, ang mga pinto ay naka-lock na.

Ano ang kahulugan nito?

Ito ba ay isang pagdukot?

“Ano ang gusto mo, Elliot?” Tanong ni Avery habang nakakunot ang noo ni Elliot.

Hindi ba ito ang araw ng pakikipag-ugnayan niya?

Saan siya nakahanap ng oras para puntahan siya?

“Kilala mo ba si Eric Santos, Avery?” Tanong ni Elliot habang itinaas ang tingin kay Avery na kumikinang ang mga mata. “Huwag kang magsinungaling sa akin!”

Matapos sagutin ni Avery ang tawag niya noong umagang iyon, naubusan ng baterya ang kanyang telepono at nag-shut down.

Wala siyang paraan para malaman kung ano ang nangyayari online.

Tumunog ang mga alarm bells sa ulo ni Avery sa biglang pagbanggit kay Eric.
