(Sorry if this is bad.)

Raoul was sitting in the offices of the Opera listening to the many financial reports that the management had calculated, to say he was bored was a bit of an understatement, he felt that even that blasted Phantom would get bored if he had to sit through this meeting.

He was suddenly dragged from his thoughts by a sound he was horrified to hear, it was Christine's screams, surely the Phantom wouldn't have touched her, that would be too low for even him.

Raoul excused himself before bolting to Christine's dressing room, to his absolute horror he found it was locked, not wanting to waste any time he kicked down the door and saw the man himself, The Phantom of the Opera.

He felt a wave of anger wash over him as he lifted the masked man off his feet and angrily asked, "You bastard, what did you do with Christine!?" He felt disgusted by the fact that the Phantom was even in Christine's room in the first place, "I did nothing with Christine." The man said calmly.

He was still angry at the Phantom, "Why should I believe you!?" He still had the Phantom against the wall as he heard the sounds of other people coming to investigate the commotion, "After all, you are the one who kidnapped Christine after Hannibal." Raoul growled.

"Viscount, you and I both love Christine." The Phantom said, "And I know for a fact that I would never lay a finger on her." He was clearly trying to talk his way out of the situation, "However what I can do is give you my word that whoever did this will be taken care of." Raoul reluctantly set him down, "Alright." He said before looking at the door, the crowd had disappeared, "But if I find out that you are involved in any way, I will not hesitate to kill you." The viscount growled.

"I assure that I have nothing to do with her disappearance, but I will catch those who have got her."

Raoul sighed as he reluctantly let the Phantom go, "You'll be the first to know if I find anything." The Phantom said.

After several days of missing posters, visits with the police and even searching for Christine himself, Raoul was starting to lose faith that she would be found alive until he got a letter from the Phantom with one simple thing, an address leading to an abandoned warehouse.

Raoul grabbed his pistol before heading to address the Phantom had provided, he stopped just out of sight of the lookouts, "Viscount you needn't worry about the lookouts." The Phantom said, "I've already disposed of them myself."

"How should we go about this?" Raoul asked as he looked at the abandoned warehouse, The Phantom seemed to think for a moment, "If we go in guns blazing it'll draw too much attention, but no one can be alerted if they're all dead, but stealth may be our best option, actually you get Christine and I'll take care of the goons." The man said.

Raoul was about to object before realizing that the man, although crazy, was right, he simply nodded before allowing the Phantom to go ahead and cause a distraction.

He found the perfect moment to slip into the warehouse and grab Christine and by the time they made it back to the horse drawn buggy he had arrived in, the Phantom wasn't far behind, "Go." The masked man said, "Take her to wherever you're staying so she's safe." He said, "But do not mistake this for kindness, next time I see you I will not be so cordial." The Phantom said and with that, they went their separate ways.
