Ava’s eyes lit up when she heard this. She quickly wiped her tears away, her face breaking into a smile. “Really?”

“Of course it’s real. I was worried about Elysia too. Here’s the deal: I’ll authorize both of you to take a leave to check on her. Just remember to keep me posted on what’s going on.”

“Alright, I promise to get the job done!”

“Alright, enough chatter. Just be careful on your way,” he said as he pulled a pre–prepared leave form from his black binder and handed it to the security guard.

Both Ava and Eric were taken aback. Ava looked at the finished leave form and couldn’t help but ask, “Landon, what’s this all about?”

“What? I knew you two would ask for a leave, so I had this ready since this morning. But I didn’t expect you to go climbing over walls. You’re not acting like the students I’ve taught; this is just silly.”

Ava, hearing that, didn’t get mad and just laughed, “If we’d known you had it prepared, we wouldn’t have taken this risk. We wasted so much time!”

“Good to know,” he replied.

By now, the paperwork was done. The security guard said, “You’re free to leave, but remember next time to use the front door. No more wall climbing.”

“Thank you, Mr. Guard!” Once outside, Ava felt a bit lost. She thought, ‘Where am I supposed to find Elysia? The Rosewood residence is surely a dead end. Where would she even be?‘

Eric lightly tapped the back of her head. “Are you being silly? Just call Elysia, and you’ll find out where she is.”

Ava finally snapped back to reality. Since hearing about Elysia’s situation, she’d been so panicked that she wasn’t thinking clearly.

Luckily, Eric was there to keep her on track; otherwise, she would have wasted even more time.

She dialed Elysia’s number again and called four or five times, but it just kept ringing. Growing more anxious, she was about to make a fifth call when a familiar voice called out, “Ava?”

Turning around, Ava looked but didn’t see anyone. Just as she was about to wonder who it was, the voice called out again, “I’m right here!”

The voice came from above her. She looked up and spotted a figure perched on the wall, raising an eyebrow. “Alice, what are you doing up there?”
