Louis sighs and takes his music out of his ears, he throws his phone across the room, he doesn't care if it's broken. He sits watching the rain for a while, he's so sick of feeling guilty about his life, so sick of being a burden. He's lost in thought and loses track of time, before he hears a noise outside the bedroom door, thinking it's Scott, Louis goes to find him.

He enters the hallway and is stops in his tracks. He sees a man in all black with a ski mask over his face, their eyes meet and Louis knows instantly its Dan. Louis breath hitches, what the hell is going on, Louis is scared. He backs away from Dan in fright but he backs himself into a chest.

"Where do you think you're going" Sam's voice echos in his ear as his arms wrap around Louis body.

Louis heart rate pics up, he has no idea what is going on, or how they both got passed security and into the apartment.

Louis struggles in Sam's arms, Sam tries to restrain him but he manages to kick Sam in the shin and he's let go. He runs as fast as he can to the lounge, he just needs to get to the door and to Paddy and Charlie. Louis makes it into the lounge room and is brought to a halt. The front door is chained shut from the inside and he can see what looks to be an explosive device connected. It then hits Louis, if he or security break down the door they are all dead.

Louis panics, he needs to find a way out. Dan stalks over angrily and grabs Louis but he fights, he puts up as much fight as he can with a fucked shoulder. Furniture is being knocked over but Louis just needs to get away, he runs towards the kitchen, both men hot on his tail. Louis throws a lamp at one of them and gets an anomalistic growl in response.

He reaches the kitchen but he's then tackled to the ground and lashed into, Louis isn't strong enough to fight the two of them and he tries to shield his face as he's continuously beaten and attacked. He's kicked and punched by both men and when he's pliant enough because he's so sore and hurt. Dan gags him and ties his hands behind his back.

He's pulled up by Dan and Sam gets in his face.

"You ever pull something like that again, I won't hesitate to put a bullet in your head, are we clear" Sam says as he cocks his gun to Louis head.

Louis looks into Sam's evil eyes, he's scared shitless

"I said am I clear" Sam yells as he grabs Louis hair and pulls his head back tightly.

Louis just nods slightly as he can't talk. He's then led back into the lounge and sat on the floor in the corner.

"Don't fucking move" Dan spits at him.

Dan and Sam then walk to the middle of the Lounge room to talk.

Louis rests his head on the wall as tears threaten his eyes, he's fucked. What the fuck is he supposed to do now. He just hopes Harry and the boys are safe, he has no way to warn them about the bomb.

...

Harry makes it to his office, he feels so guilty for the way he's been acting and has been organising things on the drive to work, with how to make it all up to Louis. He's just putting his coat away when his phone buzzes.

"Styles" Harry answers.

"Harry, where are you" Drew's panicked voice sounds over the phone.

"I just got to the office, why what's wrong" Harry asks his voice wavering at Drew's tone.

"Theirs a hostage situation, it's Louis. The building has been evacuated but they've got Louis In the apartment" Drew says.

"I'm on my way" Harry says as he hangs up.

He's never in his life run so fast, Alberto and his security Flagging him as he makes his way back to the car in record time.

As they approach the penthouse, the roads are closed off, so Al pulls up a block away from the apartment, and they run the rest of the way, there are ambulances, fire and police everywhere, Harry is thankfully allowed through the barricades thanks to Drew and he's met with all the boys at the front of the apartment on the street.

"Drew" Harry yells.

Drew is dressed in police gear and has a swat team awaiting his instructions,

"He's okay at the moment" Drew reassures Harry.

"What's going on" Harry asks his worry consuming him.

He's led over to a marquee that's set up, the boys all following inside. He's given an iPad that has access to the cameras in the apartment, they all watch on as Drew plays them a video. Harry sees Louis chased, being beaten, tied up and placed in the corner.

"Fuck, please just get him out, can't you just go in" Harry asks panicked.

"There is explosives on the door, we've hacked into the cameras and if the doors are opened the explosives will go off" Drew says.

"Shit" Edward says.

"How the fuck did they get in?" Scott asks panic setting in.

"The roof" Drew says.

"Well what do we do, what's the plan to get him out?" Harry asks upset.

Drew sighs.

"Unfortunately, we have to wait, it's a high rise building, which is a lot more complicated and we don't want them doing anything drastic, we need to let them make contact first and find out what exactly it is they want" Drew says.

"No, Drew please, we need to get him" Harry says.

"Listen, I need you guys to please trust me, I'll get Louis out, we will get him out but I need you to trust me and let me do my job" Drew says to the boys.

They all take a few deep breaths and nod.

"You can watch everything that's happening in the apartment okay, just work with us right now okay" Drew says and they all agree..

Inside the apartment Louis is in agony, his body is badly hurting, his shoulder is the worst, being pulled back behind his body, it's causing him to flit in and out of consciousness.

He watches as Sam and Dan come and kneel in front of him.

"Listen here kid, You're going to make us a lot of money and are our ticket out of this entire mess. You're the one who's caused all this shit, do you understand that" Sam spits.

Louis just looks at him slight confusion on his face.

"Harry would be mine, he would be with me if it wasn't for you and if you hadn't of spread your legs so quickly for him you could have been happy with Dan, but instead you had to be a god dam slut, ruin Harry and brainwash him into being with you and then you go and wreck Dans business. You're going to pay for it all and we will make sure of it" Sam says evilly,

"We're going to make contact with your brother now, and when we do if you say a single thing, make any form of noise you're going to get it. Understand" Dan says.

"You be a good boy and play by our rules, we will kill you quickly, instead of torturing you like we planned to do" Sam says darkly.

Louis breathing picks up as Sam and Dan move back to the middle of the room, Dan pulls his phone out and dials a number, it's on speaker phone. Drew picks up instantly.

"Detective Tomlinson" his stern voice says.

"Ahhhh well good afternoon Detective, how are we today" Sam smirks as he talks.

"I'd be a lot better if we knew what you wanted" Drew says.

Sam and Dan chuckle.

"We've got what we wanted, your little brother tied up and at our mercy" Dan says.

"Listen, you and I both know there is no way out of this, you're stuck in an apartment, threatening to blow it up and you have a hostage, the odds aren't in your favour" Drew says.

"Well, that's where you're wrong Detective. We know you, your brothers and Harry will do whatever it takes to keep us from hurting your precious Louis" Sam says.

It's quiet on the other end.

"What do you want" Drew says eventually, he's angry and knows the words are true.

"We want, Styles to wire 100 million dollars into my account, we then want him and yourselves to drop all charges and we want an agreement in place just like Harry has done before, stating we walk free and we go our seperate ways" Sam says.

"And Louis" Drew asks.

"If you agree, then we will hand him over, once the documents are all signed and the police and everyone is gone. Until then though......he's ours" Dan says evilly.

"Get it done, the longer you take the worse it gets for Louis" Sam spits and they hang up.

They both then turn to smirk evilly at Louis, they stalk over and Dan grabs a poker stick from the fire place on his way, they reach Louis and they both show no mercy as they beat Louis unconscious.
