Whilst a couple of volunteers offered to take on smaller groups, Eddie stood back and watched others gather together in preparation for the trek. ❝ I’ll take three other people with me- ❞ Eddie shifted his gaze towards his cousin, watching as a couple of members began to huddle nearby. Whilst Ed’s trust for Fred was admittedly rocky at the best of times, he would begrudgingly point out as well that he knew he could rely on him to do a good job. When it came to hard work, Fred was one of the hardest working men that Eddie knew.
And then, he looked around to oversee the groups coming together, only for his gaze to land on Joey who looked moments away from a breakdown. Lips parted ever-so-slightly, listening to her attempt to carry a conversation until she cracked. ❝ She just never came back. ❞ Nostrils flared gently as he watched her world crumble around her, Joey crying gently with her hand covering her face. He had insisted that all able-bodied people ought to help in searching for Aiden but clearly Joey wasn’t in the right place emotionally to take part.
Whether it was because he cared a lot about the Van Doren family and that baby in her belly, or he still ensured to keep his promise to make sure they would remain safe, Eddie couldn’t put Joey through any more grief than she was already feeling. After all, she was likely one of the very last people to ever see Aiden before her disappearance; it must have been traumatizing. Eddie sighed before walking over towards her. ❝ But she will, a’right? We’re gonna find her. ❞ He assured her softly, turning so that he could stand beside her before resting a hand on her shoulder, looking out towards the others grouping together.
❝ I’d like for you all to meet back at the lodge before sunset, okay? Find me and let me know that you are back so I can make sure you have all returned safely. ❞ He pointed out before looking towards Joey, voice now somewhat more sympathetic. ❝ And lets get you back to the lodge now, a’ight? ❞
