boots hit concrete as she follows the directions lighting up her phone, the sun beginning to creep below the skyline. the second she'd gotten off the bus, ava had pulled out arthur's business card and entered the address into maps. 20 minute walk. was this a bad idea? definitely. she didn't have a plan, but she felt this overwhelming need to help. or at least try. she had a choice, and she refused to choose to sit and live with the possibility that the only people truly looking for him were the ones that wanted him gone in the first place ... so she snuck out while ludo was playing with elliot and chloe. now, her eyes are glued to her phone as she walks, going over the directions in her head. at the end of the street, turn left and then - the distinct click of heeled boots against the concrete stop her immediately. ava didn't even have to look up to know it was morgan. of course.
her eyes flutter closed as she sucks in a breath, letting it out slowly before she finally locks eyes with her mom. " what are you doing here? how did you find me?! " her tone dances the fine line between defiance and determination as she shoves her phone and arthur's business card deep into her jacket pocket. she can only hope morgan would miss something for once in her life. as an attempt to cover up the action, she pulls her zip - up jacket tighter around her, also trying to keep from shivering as the chill of the air seeps through the fabric. " last time we texted you said you were checking something out with karadec and would probably be home late. does that mean you abandoned your job to spy on me?! "
@ptential - as morgan gillory.
