Evelyn

I need to get out of here before Damian puts a bullet in my head or worse. I will need money to get started somewhere new, but the issue is where to find money to create a new life for myself. I still have that credit card that Damian gave me the night I got shot. I'll go to the bank and take out just enough to leave and vanish. As soon as I have the cash, I can disappear.

Parker and Damian were not in the living room when I went to get my shoes. I assumed that he already left with him to the warehouse or another location. This is my best chance to get what I need.

I walked to the nearest bank near my living building and took out a couple of grand. I'm sure Damian won't miss that much money. Now that I have everything sorted, I should ensure where Damian is so I can know how much of a head start I have.

"Damian, it's Evelyn, where are you?" I send the text.

"I'm at the warehouse; I won't be home until tonight." Damian responded.

I returned to the penthouse to pack my things and booked a flight to Paris, France, from Damian's office. I am going to miss some people in the Black Dragons. I packed everything I needed and left for the airport, and my flight took off an hour later. I knew deep down that I had to run for my life; Damian was going to kill me; I had no choice. My only regret is that I didn't say goodbye to him. I hope he finds happiness.

Damian

(The Next Morning)

I arrived at the penthouse in the morning, hours after I told Evelyn I would be home by nightfall. She knows my work is essential and should expect me to be home late. I expected to find her up and about, but she was nowhere to be seen. "Evelyn? Are you awake?" I opened the bedroom door and found the bed empty and freshly made. "Where the hell are you?" I pulled out my phone and called Pheonix.

"Pheonix, it's me, is Evelyn at the warehouse?" I asked.

"No, I haven't seen her, Boss," Pheonix said.

"Well, Evelyn isn't at the penthouse, where is she?" I growled. "Trace her phone and come here when you're done,"

"I'm on it," Pheonix said, then hung up.

I pray to God you haven't done anything stupid, Evelyn. I waited for Pheonix with that trace, and when he called me back to tell me what he found, I was unhappy. "What do you mean the trace is in the penthouse? How are you tracing it to here?" I asked him.

"Because it's right here," Pheonix pulled Evelyn's phone from the dresser. "And the credit card you gave her. All of her clothes are gone too," Pheonix said nervously.

"Are you trying to tell me Evelyn ran? She fucking ran away!?" I clenched my fists so hard that I almost drew blood.

"Do you think there's a chance she was the spy?" Pheonix asked me.

"It's starting to look that way. Find her!" I ordered.

"I'm on it," Pheonix pulled out his phone and made some calls. Evelyn, you better hope that you are not the cause of my brother's death. Because if you are, I will kill you.

A few days later, Pheonix and the others I told still couldn't find Evelyn, and my patience was thin. "Come in," I said after I heard my office door knocked on. Gregory opened the door, and I hope he had good news.

"Gregory, what have you found out?"

"We've got a location on Vinnie and Johnny, but we don't have anything on Evelyn. But Parker is going through the CCTV from that day now, and I'm sure it will show us her movements on the day she left," Gregory explained.

"Take Pheonix, find Vinnie and Johnny, and bring them to me alive. I want to know who the spy is before I kill them," I said. Gregory nodded and left my office. If we find Vinnie, we'll find Evelyn. I'll make her pay.

Gregory and Phoenix successfully capture Vinnie and Johnny without much of a fight. When they were found, they surrendered after they killed all their men. Nighttime arrived, and I was looking at the shipment reports, and I'm pleased that nothing was taken. "Damian, I've got some information on Evelyn," Parker said.

"What is it? Tell me!" I said.

"I checked the CCTV. It shows Evelyn entering your office and using your computer before leaving. I checked what she was doing and found that she had booked a flight to France," Parker said.

I raised an eyebrow. Why France? "France, eh?"

"She also took five thousand dollars from your bank account using the credit card you gave her," Parker added.

I laughed softly. "Just five thousand? Surely she knew she could have taken five million? Something isn't right here," I said.

"I agree that it doesn't make sense," Parker said.

"Get Bellamy on the phone; I want all my men in France looking for her," I said. Parker nodded and walked off.

I arrived at the warehouse where we placed the captured Vinnie and Johnny in the cells on the lower levels. Pheonix was with me to get the information I wanted. "We have Vinnie and Johnny but no sign or sight of Evelyn. She must really be in France," Pheonix said.

"Torture them for answers; I want to know who their spy is," I said.

(A Few Weeks Later)

It's been weeks, and no one has been able to locate Evelyn. Where the fuck is she? My phone started ringing, and I saw that Bellamy was calling me, so I answered. "Bellamy, any updates on your end?" I said.

"No, boss, a few sightings that led to nothing," Bellamy said.

My blood started boiling. "Evelyn has to be somewhere, find here!"

"We'll keep looking; I'll have an update soon," Bellamy said, then I hung up. I leaned back in my chair until someone knocked on my door.

"Come in," Pheonix entered my office. "What now, Pheonix?" I groaned.

"We tortured Vinnie and Johnny within an inch of their lives, and they are still insisting that they have no idea who Evelyn is," Pheonix said.

"They have to be lying!" I pounded my desk with my fist.

"I don't think they are. They've admitted to killing Avery, and it doesn't make sense why they wouldn't acknowledge that Evelyn was involved," Pheonix said.

"Then why did Evelyn run? If she's not the spy then why go through all this trouble to disappear?" I said.

"I don't know," Pheonix shrugged.

"Vinnie and Johnny are going to die a slow and painful death for what they did to Avery, but not yet. Lock them back in their cells, I'll deal with them later," I smiled. "We're going to France, Pheonix,"

"I'll tell Bellamy to get the jet ready," Pheonix said.

"Good, we'll fly out in the morning, you and Parker will come with me," I said.

"I'll make sure the arrangments are set," Pheonix nodded and walked out the door.

I'm coming for you, Evelyn.

I got the jet with Parker and Phoenix the following day and flew to France. It's time to get some answers if we can find Evelyn, and I will locate her, no matter what it takes. I owned a single hotel in Paris, and we would stay there while searching. Pheonix, Parker, and I met up with Bellamy in the hotel.

"Bellamy, it's good to see you," I shook his hand.

"How was the flight? It's nice to see you again," Bellamy smiled.

"Long, are there any updates? Have you found Evelyn?" I asked.

"A few more sightings but no sign of her when we arrive. Let me show you to your room, and we can discuss the details over dinner," Bellamy said.

I spent the next two weeks in Paris helping to find Evelyn; every sighting we had was a dead end. There was nothing. Pheonix went out to follow another lead we had of her, and when he returned, his face told me everything I needed to know. "Let me guess, nothing?"

"Not a trace, Damian," Pheonix said.

"She has to be somewhere; Evelyn can't have just vanished into thin air," I threw an empty glass. "FUCK!"

"I don't know what to tell you, boss. We've been here for two weeks and nothing. It's possible that she might now even be in France," Pheonix said.

"We are the fucking Black Dragons. How can we not find one fucking little woman?" I growled. "No one escapes The Black Dragons and lives to tell about it,"

"Boss, we have to go home. Gregory said everything is falling apart without your there to rule," Pheonix said.

I sat down and took a deep breath. "Tell Bellamy to fuel up, we will leave in the morning. But the search for Evelyn continues unless I say otherwise,"

"Of course, boss," Pheonix nodded.

I will find you, Evelyn, and when I do. I'll kill you!
