Desires Die Hard

Chapter 179

Evan would not stop frowning as he sat in his car while it sped down the streets. Anya had not replied to his texts.

She must be panicking right now.

The young man was not upset. He turned his eyes towards the window and gazed at the night sky calmly. After some deliberation, he pulled his phone out and called a friend. The guy was a cop.

Evan wanted to ask his friend for a favor and get him to help keep an eye out for Eudora.

Josh answered his call within seconds. The man checked the address that Evan gave him quietly. It was the address that Anya had fabricated. “Evan, someone did file a report recently about an attempted abduction. But the address stated in the report doesn’t match the one that you’ve given me.”

A crease appeared between Evan’s brows. “What do you mean?”

“Ms. MacMillan’s address is recorded in our database, but it’s not the same address as you’ve given me,” Josh said tactfully. He could not reveal personal details of a civilian to anyone without a legitimate reason. It did not matter that Evan was a friend. “I can’t share the address with you. I don’t have access to the information.”

“I hope you understand, Evan.”

He did. The young man fell into a momentary silence. “Have the patrol cars been sent out?”

“Yes,” Josh replied. “They’re headed for Monk’s Groceries on Sedan Street. That’s all I can tell you.”

Monk’s Groceries on Sedan Street.

Evan could work with that. He would find out where Anya really lived. He had his ways.

“Thanks,” Evan said before ending the call. After a moment’s pause, the young man turned towards Hayden who was driving the car. “Hayden, get me a copy of Anya’s application for her position at JK Couture.”

Hayden eyed Evan’s reflection in the rearview mirror, then nodded. “Sure, Mr. Welton.”

The young man tucked his earpiece into his ear and called the HR department. He told the person on the other end of the line to get him Anya’s address.
