Flicker of Hope

Chapter 52

Gabriel's POV

It's been a week since Evie was taken and everyone is losing their minds. When we attacked the three warehouses, turns out it was all a decoy. They were never there. It was just a way for us to lose time as they get away with Evie. At each of the warehouses, they left a note 'Better luck next time.... Or not' which made my blood boil. They were taunting us.

That night I wrecked my whole office once we knew that it was all a setup. Everyone tried to calm me down but I was just not having it. Papa sent me out to take a breath which just resulted in me going on a killing spree. I killed more than 200 people that night and when I got back I got lectured by mama but she understood it was the only way for me to control my anger.

Turns out, Ares, Ethan and Ryan went on a killing spree too but not to the extent of killing hundreds of people. The next day we were all high of our kills and spent most of the morning talking about the types of kills we did. It was therapeutic.

Alas, Ezra and Nathan have been working non-stop on trying to find them by hacking the systems and flagging any suspicious activities from the Germans. They even set an alert for all the aliases that we know of from the Germans that Kiro mentioned so that if they used it, we can track them down.

Right now, we're in the meeting room that's filled with laptops, papers and drinks since we've been living here for basically a week now. Zeke, Adonis, Kiro and I have been talking and we might have to send all our troops to Germany and try to get Evie back. It was the only place we could think of that they would take her since it was their territory. But we all know if we decide to send everyone, it would be a suicide mission.

We've talked about the letters Evie wrote and dissected it to get any clues to find her. The only thing we figured out was that there was a little birdie that told her about the Germans' plans and that the Kastellanos and the trio would understand it sooner which made them confused. They're still trying to think of the location and possibilities but so far came up with nothing.

I poured myself a drink and started brainstorming. I would need to think how the Germans would. From everything they've planned and attacked to how they got what they wanted. I've been worried about Rose and what condition she would be in. I pray to god it's not bad. I know she's strong but at some point everyone will break one way or another

A ding was heard from Ezra's computer making him furrow his eyebrows but when he clicked something his eyes widened. "Guys!," he shouted, making everyone look at him.

"They sent us a video," he said, making everyone tense. "Put it up on the screen," Zeke said as Ezra nodded his head.

"You guys ready?," he asked but no one answered, afraid of what's in the video. He took the silence and started playing the video. It showed us a black screen at first before the one person I've been missing this whole time is at the centre of the video.

I could hear the gasps and knuckles cracking. My hands were in fists and I couldn't stop staring at the screen. It was Evie with cuts and bruises tied to a chair while Ben and Karl stood behind her.

"We finally got the Romanos and Kastellanos prize possession. Let's not forget the Gonzalez. I must say how angry we were to find out our Evie had a boyfriend. But imagine my surprise to find out it was the don himself who caught feelings for my sweetheart," Ben said as he combed her hair with his fingers making Evie jerk away before he pulled the ends of it to make sure she was staying in place.

All I saw was red and I can tell the others were too. They kept touching her and all I wanna do is cut their hands off. I almost jumped out of my seat to kill someone when I saw Ben kissing her lips.
