His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1977

"Yeah. Your mom headed over there to handle something. She will be back once she's done."

"Oh... She's not in any danger, though, is she?" Layla asked.

"Probably not. Your brother and Mike will be there in Bridgedale to take care of her once she arrives in Bridgedale."

"Okay! Let's go to Ms. Kennedy's apartment to finish my homework, then! She told me that she has a meeting earlier this afternoon and will get off work a little later. She handed me her keys and told me to go to her place first."

The two headed to Leah's apartment, and the bodyguard opened the door to find someone sitting on the couch.

It was someone they knew.

Natalie's aunt had asked her to visit Leah at her apartment to check in on her, and Natalie had not expected to see Layla and Elliot's bodyguard there.

Layla turned heels without hesitation, wanting to leave as soon as she spotted Natalie, but the bodyguard stopped her.

They had not ruled out the possibility that Natalie might have something to do with Elliot's disappearance, so she still could be involved.

"Leah, what's wrong with you? You can tutor Layla, but why would you invite them to your apartment? Are you trying to gain some benefits by associating yourself with the Fosters?" Natalie shut the door, but her voice could still be heard inside the apartment. "The Fosters have lost their glory! Now that Elliot is dead, they have no one left to lead them, and here you are kissing their boots. Are you mad? Did you not listen to a word I said to you before?"

"Cousin, I thought you said that Elliot Foster is just missing?" Leah flushed and said, "and now you are saying he's dead. Is he dead?"

Natalie took a deep breath and lowered her voice. "He is dead if I say he is! Go back inside and chase those two out!"

Before she could finish, the door flew open...
