Sorry for the long wait, but I got really stuck halfway. Next chapter will be up sooner, I promise! Thanks for all the lovely reviews, I really enjoy writing this story. Hopefully I can keep it interesting for you guys :)

Unfortunately home was hard to find.

Bane was long gone. The building where they had brought Scarlett had been completely empty. She had scanned the whole city, looking for Bane or his men. But it all went without any luck.

She had hoped Bane would be still around, but Scarlett was wrong. He was probably in a different city, always moving around. The problem was, which city?

Scarlett had moved to a hotel, she wanted to avoid any possible contact with Julien. Besides, she really wanted to focus on finding Bane. All she needed was a plan…

Basically locking herself in her hotel room, Scarlett tried making up a plan. But it all came back to one thing: she had to 'infiltrate' Bane's men. She didn't exactly know where Bane got his men from, but they were all mercenaries. Scarlett would hit the town later on to ask some questions to learn more about this.

The bar had a tough look, it was definitely not a place Scarlett would normally go to. She could feel all eyes on her when she entered. Trying not to grab too much attention, Scarlett walked over to the bar and ordered a drink for herself.

Her eyes scanned the room. Who looks like he could be a mercenary?

The problem was that each person in the bar could be a mercenary as far as she knew.

She decided she wouldn't find out anything unless she went around asking. With her drink in her hand she walked towards the guy which fitted the mercenary look perfectly, whatever the look was.

Scarlett smiled as their eyes met and she leaned forward to the guy to make herself hearable.

'I'm looking for a guy you might know' Scarlett began. She figured she could best immediately ask about Bane, he was quite well-known in the 'underworld'. 'Bane' she added.

The guy frowned and shook his head. 'Never heard of him' he replied with a French accent.

'Thanks anyway' Scarlett said, but she had already reached the next possible mercenary.

Scarlett had tried almost everyone in the bar, but no one knew a guy called Bane. This was proving to be harder than she had expected.

There was no point in asking any more people tonight, the bar was about to close and Scarlett was feeling exhausted. She decided she would try again tomorrow night in a different bar.

She quickly finished her third drink of the night before walking out of the bar.

The night air felt cool on her skin as she left, but she enjoyed the feeling. Winter had always been her favorite season and after the wedding she couldn't wait for fall to be over.

'Hey missy!' a voice shouted from behind her.

Somehow Scarlett felt like the voice was talking to her, so she turned around the find a guy standing a few feet away from her.

Scarlett looked around to make sure he was talking to her and not to someone else, but there was no one standing on the street except her.

'Can I help you?' Scarlett asked cautiously.

The guy moved closer.

'I heard you were looking for someone' he said to her.

'Maybe, I am' Scarlett replied.

'I might happen to know where he is'

'How do I know I can trust you'

Scarlett had grown very cautiously of all the strange men who approached her lately.

'You don't, but as far as I know I am the only one in Paris who knows where he is'

She had to give in, this was probably her only chance to find Bane.

'So tell me' Scarlett said impatiently.

'It doesn't work that way, sweetheart' he said, moving even closer to her.

'Well, it doesn't work that way either' Scarlett snapped back, taking a step back.

'Feisty, I like that' The guy smiled.

Scarlett raised her eyebrows. 'Just tell me where he is, please'

'Okay, you win' the guy teased, which Scarlett ignored.

'He's probably in Amsterdam'

'Probably?' Scarlett replied. 'I need certainty'

'That's all I know, but why are you even looking for him? You don't look like a mercenary…'

'Because I'm not a mercanery' Scarlett whispered.

'Thanks for the information, you better pray you're right' She turned around from the man, leaving him behind. Ignoring him when he shouted: 'Can I at least know your name?'

It looked like Bane was moving around a lot. She sincerely hoped he wasn't planning to blow up another city…

After she reached the hotel she couldn't keep her eyes open anymore. She jumped on the bed and slept for 12 hours straight. When she woke up the following day she immediately bought a ticket for a flight to Amsterdam that same afternoon.

She didn't had a lot of stuff to pack, since almost all of it was still in her apartment, or should she say Julien's apartment now? Scarlett wondered if she should let him know she was going to Amsterdam, but decided not to. The less he knew the better.

The flight to Amsterdam went smooth, and before she knew it she touched down on Dutch soil. She had never been here before.

She checked into a hotel in the centre of Amsterdam. It was busy in the city itself, which meant there were a lot of people to ask them about Bane, but it also meant that it was probably even harder to find him. If he was even here…

Scarlett didn't know any Dutch words, but luckily for each Dutch person she met spoke English really well. But just like in Paris she ha no luck. Frankly she had no idea where to look, so she started to wander around the city, hoping that she might run into him or some of his men.

If she had only returned to Bane when she had the chance…

The plan of infiltrating his men wasn't going as well as she had hoped. But suddenly Scarlett thought of something which really could turn her whole plan around. If this wouldn't work, she didn't know what would…
