chapter three

TRIGGER WARNING: torture !!

Meanwhile on that Friday day, Allie sat in Emma's room that she had taken upon herself to clean up after Nick Fury had taken pictures for evidence. She was behind the Stark's computer after an idea had come to her. She had someone drive her all the way over to the Avengers Tower just so she could use the Stark's computer. It was the only one she knew how to open and use. She doesn't even know how to turn on her own computer.

It finally came to her that if the person who took Emma had access to the building, it had to be a staff member. A staff member who worked under Tony Stark.

She was somehow able to get into the system, dully scrolling through everyone who worked for Tony Stark. They all seemed perfectly innocent until— she came across a particular bodyguard. At first it didn't seem too odd, until Allie noticed he hadn't come into work for a couple days.

She knitted her brows before pulling out her phone and pressing Tony's contact information. After just a few rings of him on speaker phone, he answered with a, "What?"

"I think I may have found something," she told him.

"Alright..."

"One of your workers...he has missed work for almost a week," Allie told him and she could tell he seemed confused.

"What? That's odd. What's the name?"

"Um...William...Desmond," Allie read off the screen before glancing onto her phone from Tony's complete silence, "Who's William Desmond?"

"He's...Emma's personal bodyguard."

Allie's expression softened, remembering a tall guy following Emma around at the UN Headquarters. That must've been William Desmond!

"He...would have definitely had enough building access to take her," Allie said, staring at the bodyguard's picture on her computer screen.

"When was he at work last?"

Allie took a moment to check the date, and when she did, the breath left her body a second. "April 16," she softly said, "The same day Emma went missing."

"Shit."

They sat there in silence as Tony tried to come up with something to do. But as they did, Allie gazed at the picture of William Desmond, completely memorizing what he looked like. She wanted to have the face engraved in her head of the person she would kill.

At the compound, Allie sat in the conference room with a dark look as a small slide show presentation over who William Desmond was was presented to everyone. There was hardly any pictures or much information about him at all. Just that seven months after The Battle of Sokovia, William Desmond was hired by Tony Stark to be Emma's second bodyguard. He trained for three months until he officially met and began working with Emma.

Absolutely no one thought he would do anything bad. Especially after he saved Emma from The Winter Soldier's attack at the UN Headquarters. They trusted him to protect her. And he betrayed them.

But what made Allie feel much more angrier, glaring with an even darker look was that they found a video on Emma's computer. Something the webcam caught that proved that William Desmond was the one who took Emma. The audio was silent so they couldn't hear what was being said but they saw it.

Emma and Desmond stared at each other in the middle of her room for a moment, but a look of slow horror came across the golden blonde's face. And abruptly, she spun around, reaching for a bat to hit him with, but he grabbed her from behind, causing the bat to fall to the ground.
