"What's the third option?" Andrew asks, raising his eyebrows in surprise.
"Let Gabrielle go, and I'll take her place at the police station," Avery says confidently.
The station is dirty and depressing, but Avery feels relatively safe. She knows that Andrew won't let the officers harm her. Eventually, Evan will find out she's at the station and use the Howel family influence to get her out. On the other hand, Andrew doesn't care about Gabrielle, and he might order the police to torture her.
Andrew bursts out laughing. He wipes an imaginary tear from his eye and pats Avery on the shoulder. Avery shakes his hand off and scowls at him.
"What are you laughing at?" she asks.
"I'm laughing because your plan is terrible," Andrew says.
"How's that?" Avery asks. "It makes perfect sense to me."
"Come with me," Andrew says, leading her back into the interrogation room.
