"I asked Ivan and Alexei to bring him here," Vaughn explained, his expression serious. "And then they found out he's been missing for the past two days. No one can find him."
Eliza's frown deepened. "Maybe he's hiding somewhere," she suggested, the unease in her voice mirroring the tension she felt in her chest.
"Maybe," Vaughn replied, not sounding convinced. He took a deep breath, trying to shake off the frustration. "It's just… odd. Caleb isn't the type to run and hide. He's more the confrontational sort."
Eliza nodded, her mind racing with possibilities. "Do you think he knows you're looking for him?"
"It's possible," Vaughn said, leaning back in his chair. "He might have caught wind of our plans and decided to lay low."
"Or he could be planning something," Eliza added, the thought sending a shiver down her spine.
