Thank you! 

"Morning, baby" Harry whispered, his voice deep and rough as he smiled lazily at Louis 

"Morning" Louis muttered back, blinking up at Harry tiredly 

"Didn't want to wake you" Harry said softly "But I need to go downstairs and I can't leave you by yourself" he explained

Louis nodded in understanding, closing his eyes again "Five more minutes" he replied quietly, his voice a tired whisper 

"Oh no you don't" Harry told him, scooping Louis into his arms "I'll carry you if I must" he stated with a fond smile

"Harry" Louis whined as Harry pulled him up "No" he complained cutely, clutching at Harry to try and regain his warmth

"Sorry, my love" Harry replied, rubbing Louis' back "But I promised the boys I'd be downstairs" 

"What time is it?" Louis asked groggily, pressing his face into Harry's shoulder 

"Not yet seven" Harry answered and Louis let out a small whine "Tomorrow could be a big day, we need to spend today planning" he explained and Louis nodded into his shoulder 

"Okay" he said quietly 

"Come" Harry whispered, placing his hands under Louis' thighs to lift him, as Louis wrapped his arms around Harry's neck, letting the taller man pick him up 

Harry carried Louis into the en suite, placing his down carefully on top of the bathroom counter and taking a step back to examine the boy 

"Alright?" Harry asked, smiling at Louis with a raised eyebrow

Louis nodded sleepily, rubbing at his eyes gently. He was wearing one of Harry's T-shirts which was falling off of his shoulders due to how large it was on him, exposing the soft skin of his upper arms along with his prominent collar bones . The T-shirt rose up above his knees, showing off the golden skin of his thighs and his legs which were dangling over the edge of the counter, swinging slowly 

Louis looked adorable, and Harry couldn't help but smile 

"Why are you smiling?" Louis asked, reaching over to grab his toothbrush along with the tube of toothpaste 

"You're making me smile" Harry answered simply, watching as Louis turned on the water and began to brush his teeth 

"I'm only brushing my teeth" Louis pointed out and Harry grinned 

"I find everything you do rather endearing" he replied 

Louis blushed at this, looking down shyly as he carried on brushing his teeth; he smiled to himself but didn't reply 

"I'll go dress" Harry announced "Would you like me to find you something?" He asked 

"Please" Louis replied with a nod, hopping down from the counter to finish brushing his teeth and washing his face 

When Harry came back into the bathroom, he was dressed in a plaid flannel shirt and washed out jeans. The buttons of the shirt were only fastened up to halfway and Harry's defined chest was slightly visible to Louis 

"Here, my love" Harry said, holding some clothes out to Louis which the smaller boy took shyly 

"Thank you" he replied, tearing his eyes away from Harry and looking down at the garments in his hands 

"I'll wait outside" Harry told him, flashing his a kind smile before leaving the bathroom 

Louis sighed to himself, blinking a couple of times as the image of Harry's skin replayed in his head 

He dressed quickly, and met Harry outside the bathroom door 

The taller man looked up at him with a smile "Ready?" He asked 

"Yes" Louis answered, following Harry out of the bedroom and down the stairs "What's the meeting about?" He asked; wondering what on earth was important enough to wake him up at six thirty 

"Tomorrow's ball" Harry answered "And our attendance to it" he added 

"Our?" Louis questioned, his eyebrows knitting together curiously

"My" Harry corrected "Along with two of the boys" 

Louis hummed in acknowledgement, following Harry through the four offices before arriving at the meeting room "They don't mind me in here?" He asked shyly 

Harry stopped at the door of the room, turning around to face Louis "Of course not" he promised "What makes you think that, little one?" 

Louis shrugged slightly "I don't know" he admitted "Feel like I'm intruding" he said

"Never" Harry told him "Come" he added, taking Louis' hand and leading him into the room 

Louis smiled at this, letting Harry take him into the meeting room where the other three men were sat around the table 

"Morning" Harry called happily, smiling at each of the men in turn as he pulled out a chair for Louis before sitting down 

"Morning" Niall said back, seemingly being the only energetic person of the group 

"Zayn? Liam?" Harry questioned, looking at both men "Something wrong?"

"Just tired" Liam answered "We're fine" he added and Zayn nodded in agreement 

"Very well" Harry replied "As we all are" he agreed "Niall, coffee please" he ordered

Niall nodded, standing up "Anything else?" He asked

Harry looked at Louis briefly before nodding at Niall "Tea, milk and one sugar" he stated and Louis smiled when Niall nodded 

"Thanks, Niall" Louis said quietly and Niall ruffled his hair before leaving the room 

"So?" Zayn drawled, rubbing at his eyes in a tired manner "Today we plan tomorrow's outing" he reminded "Are we to start with the exit points?" He asked

Harry nodded "I asked Niall to find them all" he stated 

"And he did" Liam replied, pushing forwards a piece of paper which had an 'x' marked at every available exit point 

"Good" Harry noted "We can go in through the front as everyone else will" he said "Anything else would be rather suspicious, no?" He asked 

"Agreed" Liam answered "We'll blend in with the rest of the guest until our plan takes place" 

Zayn nodded at this "I agree entirely" he said "There's no point in causing a scene by coming through a different exit" 

Harry hummed thoughtfully "And the shooting?" He asked "How shall we do that?" He quizzed "It's always better from a height" 

"Exactly" Niall spoke up, walking back into the planning room with a tray of refreshments "Which is why I located a higher tier" he explained, placing the tray onto the table before sitting down "The shooting can take place from there" he said, placing a finger on the blueprints of the building 

"Ah" Liam said quietly "It's hidden" he added in agreement "But how would we get up there, surely it's locked off?" 

Zayn took a sip of his coffee before speaking up "I hacked into all of the available cameras surrounding the area, along with all of the security system" he explained "I found out that the building used to be an FBI base and therefore has a lock system on the doors which has been there long before the ballroom was added in"

"It's likely that Lawrence has done this on purpose" Harry told them "He wanted high security" he stated

"The good thing is that all security systems can be breached if you can find a code" Zayn replied 

"Can you find a code?" Harry questioned 

Zayn bit his lip thoughtfully "I hope so" he said "I can try" 

"Do it" Harry instructed, holding a hand up to signal Zayn away "Go work on it now" he said, pointing towards the computer at the side of the room 

"Alright" Zayn agreed, standing up and walking to the computers "I'll call you if I find anything intriguing" he promised and Harry smiled 

"And what are we to do?" Niall asked 

"The three of us are going to devise an escape plan to get out of the building" Harry answered

Louis was about to reach out for his tea, but Harry picked it and passed it to the boy as if he had a sixth sense for Louis' needs 

"Thank you" Louis said quietly and Harry pressed a kiss to the boy's cheek before speaking 

"We give ourselves precisely twelve minutes from the first shot before we have to leave the building" Harry said 

"Why twelve?" Niall asked 

"Because it's the average time taken for a police reaction in the area" Zayn spoke up from the other side of the room whilst fiddling around on a computer 

Harry nodded at this "Exactly" he said "A second more and we'd be at a high risk of getting caught" 

Liam hummed in agreement "Understandable" he muttered "Are we all to contribute to the shooting?" He asked 

"You and I shall do that" Harry answered "Meanwhile, Zayn will be down in the ballroom making an appearance"

"And me?" Niall asked 

"You'll stay here" Harry replied 

"Why's that?" Niall questioned, offended and confused. Harry nodded to Louis and Niall sighed in agreement "Very well" he said "I'll stay" he agreed 

Harry nodded thankfully as Liam spoke up "Isn't it dangerous for Zayn to be down there whilst we're shooting?" He asked 

"The whole plan is dangerous" Harry replied simply 

"I agree, but isn't that a higher risk?" He quizzed 

"Thanks for the concern, Liam, but i'll be okay" Zayn cut in and Liam rolled his eyes 

"Of course you'd say that" he stated "You think you're invincible" 

"I am invincible" Zayn told him 

"He'll be fine" Harry agreed "Between you and I, we can keep an eye on him" 

"And what am I to do once the shooting begins?" Zayn questioned 

"You will be on the ground making sure that nobody escapes" Harry answered "Along with enabling an escape route" he added "We need the doors to be fully accessible by the time the shooting is over" 

"I can do that" Zayn agreed 

Liam frowned before speaking "What are we to do if there's still people alive after the twelve minutes?" He asked

"We kill them" Harry stated 

"Even if we've exceeded our time?" Niall questioned 

"Yes" Harry answered 

"Isn't that risky?" Liam said in shock "We could get caught by the police" 

Harry nodded in agreement "Zayn? Thoughts?" He questioned and Zayn looked up from his computer 

"I think our main focus is to find the remains of the gangs that we've previously targeted" he said 

"So, make a list of high priority people?" Niall asked 

"Yes" Zayn agreed "We need to prioritise certain people" he said "If they are dead when the twelve minutes are up, then we should leave" he explained "We can leave people of a low priority alive if necessary" 

Harry nodded at this, taking a sip of his coffee "Agreed" he said simply

"The question is, who is the highest priority?" Zayn asked "Besides Lawrence" 

"There's only three gangs that are ranked highly in power alongside us" Liam stated "Two of which are now leaderless"

"So let me get this straight" Niall started, furrowing his eyebrows at Harry in confusion "I killed Edward-"

"Obviously" Zayn muttered and Niall rolled his eyes

"But we didn't kill his entire gang" Niall added

"Correct" Liam stated

"And then Harry killed Terrence" Niall continued

Harry nodded at this "I did indeed" he stated

"And we also didn't kill his entire gang" Niall pointed out

"Also correct" Liam mumbled

"And now we plan to kill Lawrence" Niall said and Zayn nodded "And we most likely won't kill his entire gang"

"Pretty much" Liam agreed

"Apart from this time, we will kill everyone necessary" Harry corrected "Since we're infusing the bullets with poison"

Zayn nodded softly "I can do that" he said "It'll make the death toll less dependable on the accuracy of the shot" he explained

"Perfect" Harry stated, clapping his hands together happily

"Except for the part where we have loads of stray gangs roaming around the city" Niall added in

"There will be no stray gangs left after this ball, I can assure you" Harry told them

Harry smiled suddenly after a couple of seconds and Liam narrowed his eyes at the man "What?" He questioned "What is it?" Liam pressed

"An idea" Harry replied

"And what is this 'idea' of yours?" Liam asked

"Let me guess" Zayn cut in before Harry could speak "We kill them all?" He questioned "The entire ball?"

"No, we call a truce" Harry said sarcastically, rolling his eyes "Of course we kill them all" he stated "Though that wasn't my idea"

"Then what is it?" Liam questioned once more

"My idea" Harry started "Is to find out exactly who is plotting against us by following through with instructions on Niall's phone"

"I'm pretty sure that was my idea" Liam argued "I said that we could follow through with the instruction whilst monitoring Niall" he pointed out 

"No, your idea was stupid" Harry stated "Mine is much more well designed"

"How?" Liam asked

"For one, I believe we shouldn't send Niall to the destination of his assassination" he said "Though we can convince them that we are"

"Then what?" Niall quizzed

Harry turned to Zayn with a raised eyebrow "Do you think you could track the location of the hacker?" He asked "Even roughly?"

"It would take time" Zayn replied "If I can do it at all"

"Try" Harry ordered "This way we won't have to go to the given location"

"Why?" Liam asked "What are you suggesting?"

"I'm suggesting that they come to us" Harry asked

"How do we make them do that?" Niall quizzed

"Lure them our of their den" Harry replied "We've been feeding them" he stated "If you feed a lion, they needn't leave the cage" he said "But if you starve the lion, they'll have to search for their food"

"So how do we starve a lion that's stocked up on meat?" Zayn questioned

"We take that meat away" Harry answered

"How?" Niall asked

"Well first we need to locate the lion" Harry announced "If Zayn can get a rough location on the whereabouts of the hacker, we can see if they're attending the ball"

"And if they're not?" Liam quizzed

"Phone links" Harry stated "They're very clever to connecting you to the rest of your gang" he said "But awful for others to see who you're connected to"

"Phone links such as ours?" Niall questioned "Like how we exchange information?"

"Indeed" Harry agreed "If we can find a connection from the system corrupting your phone to anyone's phone at the ball, then we have our first lead"

"Marvelous idea, boss" Zayn praised "But what do we do if we catch them?"

"We bring them back here for...a chat" Harry answered

"I do hope that this chat will end in bloodshed" Liam replied

"Oh, inevitably" Harry promised, flashing Liam a smile "And with a few well deserved answers"

"Starting with why the hell they're targeting us" Niall said "And why they started with me"

"So tomorrow we have three simple tasks" Harry explained 

"Go on" Liam urged, waiting for Harry to list them 

"Task one, make it evident to the sender of the message that we are to attend the ball" Harry said "They may attend to meet us there instead of the given location" he added "That's your job, Niall" 

Niall nodded quickly "What's task two?" He asked 

"Task two is to try and find the sender of the message" Harry said "That's Zayn's job" 

Zayn hummed "Alright" he replied "And task three?" 

"We kill everyone at the ball" Harry finished with a smile, leaning back in his chair and pressing his hands together excitedly "That's on us, Liam" 

Hey guys, I hope you liked that because it was way over two and a half thousand words! Ah! Every chapter is so freaking long
