XV. Fragile

“Max?” The name seemed familiar.

“My nephew. He's a troubled kid. We haven't really seen him around lately.” Dorian explained and I remembered that I had an email come in with his name and a case number. I quickly set Evelyn’s hand down on the bed and walked into my study. I turned on my laptop and looked through my emails. Dorian followed me, leaving the doctor to do his job.

“What is it?”

“Maximilian Spade.” I said out loud and Dorian stared at me.

“Evelyn took my name, while Max took his mother's. How do you know that?”

“He's in my dungeons right now. He was caught stealing artefacts from Apollo. She must have somehow got a hold of my emails and went down to see him. I found her wondering around a week ago. She probably went down to see him, and he convinced her to get in touch with Star.” I felt so stupid for not having realised it earlier. All of this could have been avoided if I looked after Evelyn better.
