The Danger In Elizabeth

"What is it?" Nic asked. 

After his friends left Alex Ogden told him to stay, and he instantly felt his gut tightened. There is something wrong. Nic could reel it. Though Alex Ogden didn't give anything away with his blank face, he could see it in Alice's and Elizabeth's eyes when they looked at him. 

So when Alex told Nic to follow him into his office, Nic didn't waste time and asked him as soon as they were inside. 

Alex Ogden didn't sit behind his desk. He walked straight to the sliding glass door that leads to the lanai but he didn't open it to step out. He just stood there in front of the closed door and stared outside. 

"The youngest of the Lish family who was expected to take over the Crocs after Linus Teagan disappeared," Alex said in a grave tone.
