Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1484

But after searching for a while longer, Elliot still couldn’t find a single clue. It was as if the two old men had vanished into thin air.

It made sense that Howard, a master hacker, would be hard to track. But he knew Gerald’s identity, so why couldn't he find any trace of him?

His great-grandmother had said Gerald had some family business to attend to and needed Howard's help, so he’d taken Howard back into the city with him. But Elliot had checked on Gerald's family and found nothing out of the ordinary. There wasn’t a single shred of evidence that Gerald had ever returned.

Elliot knit his brow, sitting silently in front of the computer for a long time. It wasn't until he heard noises outside his door that he let out a long sigh, closed his laptop, and got up to get ready for the day.

...

Around eight in the morning, Clayton and Pamela Patel arrived at Number One Mansion with the children. Their plan was to head to the airport from there.

Elysia was almost done packing and told the kids to go check their rooms one last time for anything else they wanted to bring. When they heard Tarquin wasn’t coming with them, the little ones were surprised.

“Why isn’t Daddy coming?”

Elysia explained for him, “Your daddy’s busy with work lately. He also has a business trip to Border City, so he doesn't have time to come to Oceanopolis with us.”

At the sudden mention of Border City, Elliot and Elijah's eyes went wide. “!”

Realizing something, the two boys frowned in unison.

While everyone else was busy packing, the two brothers pulled Tarquin upstairs to the study.

“Are you going to Border City?”

“Yes.”
