The Million Dollar Man

<< I presume you're speaking of Evelyn Summers, >> Sebastian's attention turned to the she-devil herself, << right? >> Chief Carter sent a chilling smirk towards Sebastian as she pulled up a metal chair just outside the bars of his cell.

<< Fancy seeing you again, »> she continued to taunt, her eyes darkening along with her expression.

<< What the hell do you want? >> Sebastian snapped, not trying to restrain his anger around her.

<< How long have you known Evelyn? >> She questioned, pulling out a pad and a paper as though she was a psychiatrist of some sort, though Sebastian knew she was far from it.

<< No answer? Okay, how about this one, when did you develop feelings for her? » Sebastian's jaw clenched as the Chief Carter chuckled to herself, a sardonic expression crossing her features. << Have I touched a nerve yet? »

Sebastian remained silent, and threw her a smirk of his own, fighting to pretend as though he could care less about what she was asking.

<< Is she the girl that you had my officers check in the hospital as, 'Emily Kane' ? » Chief Carter raised her eyebrows expectantly before scrawling something in her notebook.

<< I assume you're aware she's missing, right? >>

<< How did you know that? >> Sebastian asked quickly, tensing as he awaited her answer.

<< Now, now Sebastian, don't be so accusing. » She scolded him, though the look in her eyes said something else. << And for your reference, I was told that Evelyn escaped from the hospital, and used a taxi to get away, severely injuring the driver in the process.

Sebastian couldn't help but grin at the thought of Evelyn kicking ass, no matter what state of heath she was in.

She was relentless; but she was also now missing.

<< Unfortunately, >> Chief Carter continued, << the taxi was found a few blocks away with the key still in the ignition, the driver's door open, yet Evelyn was no where in sight. >>

Sebastian gritted his teeth as worry filled him at an alarming rate, causing Chief Carter to write down more.

<< It's interesting, » she announced, standing and folding her chair up, << to see someone as horrible as you get so worried about someone. Evelyn sure must be a special girl. I would hate for anything to happen to her. >>

Sebastian's eyes widened for a second before he lunged at Chief Carter, only to be held back by the bars.

<< I will tear you apart if you touch her, » Sebastian snarled, his eyes glinting with malice as his hands ached to choke the life from her.

She seemed surprised by his reaction before her features became expressionless and she merely shrugged in return. << I would also like to thank you for saving me days, maybe weeks of work. >>

<< How so? >> Sebastian growled out, his hands dropping to his sides as they clenched into fists.

Chief Carter smirked, obviously pleased he had asked. << Well first, while I may not be able get you tried for any of your previous crimes, you've now given me the opportunity to try you for murder and you've threatened me, which is never a good idea. Not to mention, you've led us to the arrests of Mason Walker and Callum Bell. >>

<< What ? » Sebastian snarled, his hands gripping the bars tightly as his anger spiked once again.

She cocked her head to the side, a taunting smirk gracing her lips again. << You didn't know? We tracked your phone and got them before they could even leave your house, which brings me to another thing. We now have a search warrant to completely tear your house apart. >>

Sebastian had never felt more anger cloud his mind as he tightened his hands and growled under his breath.

<< Say goodbye, King. Your reign is over. >>

+++++

<< No! >> I cried out as tears pelted down my face. << I swear I don't know anything ! » My throat was thick and pained me to speak, nevertheless cry out in desperation.

The large t-shirt I had been placed in made me feel small and weak against the two men who stood in front of me.

« Evie, darling, you're making this so much harder for yourself. >> The man who had cleaned me off exclaimed, his tone making my stomach ache and tears to flow faster.

I let out a few more sobs before I tried to catch my breath. My head was killing me, and not because of the concussion they told me I had. The drugs that I had been injected with were making my heart race at a sickening pace and my head to spin in an unhealthy manner.

The men continued to advance upon me while I tried to plead my innocence. << Please, » I begged, << I know nothing. Sebastian never told me anything about the gang's activities, I swear! You need to believe me ! >>

The man who had taken me from the car stopped moving, and grabbed his friend's arm before whispering something into his ear, catching his interest.

While I fought to stay conscious and calm, both men turn towards me, malicious smirks on both their faces.

<< Well, » one of them spoke, << if you're not going to be able to give us anything helpful, I suppose we should either kill you, or have our way with you. >>

<< Or, >> the other man quickly cut him off; << we can use you as collateral damage. I'm sure Sebastian King is familiar with that. >>

Adrenaline burst through my veins and I fisted my hands, anger and defiance surging through me.

<< I don't care! I'm not scared! >> I screamed, letting the drugs have me talk complete bullshit.

<< I'm not scared! >>

<< Well then, if you're not scared, I suppose it's time we have some fun. What do you think about that? >>

A scream left my lips as the pain shot through my body, making me collapse onto the ground and shake in complete anguish.

<< Yes, >> the other man agreed, << I do think she's ready for some fun. >>
