The Marvelous Elijah's Return

The box 

Unmuting his mother’s call, Elijah hastily asked, “Did you talk to doctor Harry to come over and check her up?” 

“Yes. He’s attending to her right now.” Mrs. Maxwell answered. “I just thought you would like to know.” 

“Thank you, mom, for telling me. I will be on the next flight back home soon…” 

“You don’t-“. 

“Let me call you back.” 

“Is everything okay? You sound” 

“Love you, mom.” 

After those words, Elijah ended the call, seeing Rick’s incoming call, and he immediately answered, “Rick,” 

“Why is Dice speeding up, boss?” Rick’s voice came through the phone, sounding concerned. Subconsciously, Elijah glanced at Dice’s speedometer, seeing that it was dangerously close to the limit and then he said, “The hoodie, cap, and glasses at the airport didn’t work in my disguise to enter the country without drawing unwanted attention… But it doesn’t make sense that someone would knowillam entering Syldavia or when, if… Shit!” 

“What?!” Rick exclaimed, clearly worried about Elijah’s sudden change of tone. 

Pausing for a moment, Elijah tried to calm himself before answering, feeling sick with guilt.” We have a spy on us in Bordoria. That’s the only way anybody would know I left to come to Syldavia.” 

“What now boss?” Rick asked. 

The plan to keep attention off me has failed. There’s no need to stay scattered, so pass the message to the others to assemble.” 

“Yes, boss.” 

Spying in the rearview mirror, Dice hesitated and then said, “You wanted this to be an in-and out situation… I can still shake them off, and we can.” 

“I need to know who is behind this. If my guess is right and they have eyes in Bordoria, I can not let them get away.” Elijah said. “You think Miss Grace and your wife-” “They are in the safest place I can think of. Let’s take care of these fools and then worry about the rest later.”

his boss. “Change route,” Elijah commanded. The moment they reached the intersection of the dusty road, leading down to the rundown train track, Dice made a hard turn, and the three cars had no choice but to pursue because the SUVs had them close up and when they tried to slow down, they got hit in the bumper. After speeding down the dusty road for a while, Elijah heard a loud, “Bang” from the back of the car, and the force swung him forward, but the seatbelt pushed him back. “Hold on, boss.” Dice warned as he

A sigh escaped Elijali’s lips as he walked over to achair, and dragged it toward the bed, causing Lawyer Meeks to open his eyes. “You… you came.” The lawyer cried, coughing slightly before groaning in pain, “Like you asked, ” Elijah said, skeptical of the old lawyer since the timing of the incident allied with the information
