Chad had been accidentally struck for trying to stop the fighting; his spectacles were shattered and there was blood on his face.

It had been Elliot who was hitting Ben and Ben did not fight back at all, which brought Chad to the conclusion that Ben had somehow provoked Elliot, or Elliot would not have attacked him.

“Mr. Foster, what happened?” Chad asked as he white-knuckled through the pain on his face.

” Did Ben do something? Did he betray you?”
