Using the excuse that he must stay behind in order to walk his daughter down the aisle, Kyle Averell ushered the groom and best man out of his office in the care of a bodyguard who would guide them to their place inside the wedding pavilion. As he returned to his desk, Averell glanced out his window to see the electric gate at the end of his long driveway standing open.
In the excitement of finally seeing his vendetta fulfilled, Frank Stone had been less careful than Jean in disguising the unlocked gate. Stone had left the gate open at least three feet, a gap that was easily seen from the house.
Averell didn't see anything moving near the open gate, but that didn't mean there were no intruders on the grounds, and he had too much at stake this night to risk underestimating his enemies. One enemy in particular.
He snapped his fingers, and the one bodyguard remaining in the room came to attention. "Go to my daughter's suite, and bring me Doctor Oberon," Averell commanded.
Rico and Carinne passed the bodyguard in the corridor, but they took no notice of one another. Rico seemed to be escorting the unwilling bride to her doom, as scheduled, and the bodyguard was simply following orders, as always.
