Brown looked at Aurora with concern. He didn't know why, but he couldn't believe she'd just disappear from the team for no reason. That meant… someone must've taken her.
But who? Was it Everett?
Couldn't be. If it was Everett, why would she want to report it to the police?
That thought made everything more complicated. Brown was sure there was more to Aurora's situation than she was letting on.
But seeing how exhausted she looked—covered in dust, forehead soaked in sweat—he didn't have the heart to push her for answers.
Aurora spoke privately with the director for a while, then got in the car with Dominic. By then, Everett was already long gone.
The director looked grim. Once in the vehicle, he hesitated, then decided to call Eric and let him know Aurora had been found.
Eric only asked one thing: "Is she okay?"
When he heard she was fine, he didn't ask anything else—just told the director to keep an eye on Autumn.
