"Start leaving" Harry demanded "All of you" he said
"We're not going to leave you" Niall stated
"Just get out of the building" Harry ordered "Go the the empty library a street away" he shouted "We'll meet you there" he said
"Harry-"
"Shut up" Harry cut Zayn off "Make sure the three of you are safe" he said "Make sure that Louis doesn't get hurt" he reminded
"Of course" Zayn promised, the sound of beeping still sounding throughout the headset
Harry paced in front of the door, waiting for Zayn to fix the situation and free them
"If worst comes to worst, we'll shoot down the policemen" Harry stated "The main priority is the three of you getting to safety"
"Speak for yourself!" Liam scoffed "I do not want to be caught by the police" he stated "And why am I lower priority than them?" He asked
"Shut up, Liam" Harry scolded "We will not be caught" he said, though the sound of policemen gathering outside the building contradicted his statement
"Are you out of the building?" Liam asked
"We're out" Niall told them "Running to the library now" he panted
The sound of the front door being broken down by the police hit Liam's ears and his eyebrows raised involuntarily "Zayn, get us out!" Liam ordered "They're coming in" he warned, reloading his gun
Harry sighed as he cocked his gun ready to shoot, poking his head over the balcony to see the doorway being smashed down by the force of the armed police
"Zayn!" He snapped
"Alright, the doors will reset in sixty seconds" Zayn replied "Run straight to the library"
Harry nodded to himself, pacing in front of the doorway as he wiped his bloody knuckles on his white shirt; as promised, after sixty seconds, the door beeped and Harry pulled it open
The two men raced down the sets of stairs and sprinted to one of the back exits that Niall had marked on the map, just as the policemen came piling into the building
Harry and Liam ran towards the library, charging through the streets and frantically looking for their friends
The three boys that weren't trapped inside the ball building headed straight to the library that Harry had told them to; each boy ducked behind a shelf of books, Zayn wrapped a comforting arm around Louis and Niall, forming a group huddle
Sirens could be heard around the building and the light of police cars could be seen through the library widows
"Should we get moving?" Niall asked
"We can't leave Liam and Harry" Zayn told him
"If we get to the car, we can tell them to head straight there" Niall replied "Surely it'll be easier"
Zayn looked over the bookshelf to see police cars through the window "We can't get past them all" he replied "They're blocking our way"
Niall sighed, looking through the window and at the police cars gathered around the building that Liam and Harry were in
"How are they going to get out past them?" He questioned, glancing at Zayn before looking back at the police cars
Zayn put his lips to the mouthpiece "Harry, come in" he said "Liam, come in" he added when Harry didn't reply
Niall raised and eyebrow at Zayn "Where the hell are they?" He questioned, standing up to get a proper look out of the window
"Are you crazy?!" Zayn exclaimed, dragging Niall back down behind the shelf "Someone could see you, idiot" he scolded
Niall crouched back down and rolled his eyes at Zayn "It's not like they did see me" he grumbled
"Oh yeah? That's because I saved your arse" Zayn argued
"No, it's be-"
"Guys, please" Louis cut them off, looking at each man in turn
"Sorry" Zayn and Niall replied on unison, not wanting to upset Louis
"Zayn?" Harry's voice called quietly after a couple of seconds
"Right here" Zayn replied, raising his head from his crouched position behind a bookshelf
Harry rushed over, crouching behind the shelf with the boys "Alright, baby?" Was the first thing that he asked, cupping Louis' face and examining the boy
Louis nodded softly "M'fine" he promised, leaning into Harry's touch and letting out a sigh of relief "Thought you were going to be caught" he admitted, taking Harry's hand and holding onto it tightly
"M'used to it" Harry replied with a smirk, giving Louis' hand a comforting squeeze as he pressed a kiss to the boy's cheek
Louis' fingers traced around Harry's bleeding knuckles and the younger boy frowned "What happened?" He asked, looking at the blood that was now covering his own fingertips
"Idiot tried to bust his way out of the balconies" Liam answered for Harry
Louis gave the curly haired man a disapproving looked before kissing his hand "You said you'd be careful" he scolded
Before Harry had the chance to reply, a bang sounded near the front of the building and Louis jumped in shock, clutching Harry tighter
"They're right outside" Liam stated "Nearly caught us on our way in" he added and Zayn sighed
"We've got to make our move" he stated
"Let's go then" Niall replied hastily, standing up and pulling Louis with him
"You guys go now" Harry said quickly "I'll run out the back door and make a distraction"
"Why can't we all just run for it?" Zayn questioned
"Because we won't make it without a head start" Harry sighed, peeking above the bookcase when he heard footsteps
"I'll make the distraction then" Zayn told him
"No" Harry said firmly "I'm faster" he stated, handing Niall the car keys
"Harry, I can't jus-"
"Zayn" Harry cut him off "You're going to take Louis to the car and drive to the record store. I'll meet you there" he instructed
Zayn turned away, not replying and folding his arms huffily at Harry's words but not arguing with the man
"Harry, I don't want you to go" Louis said, looking up at Harry with wide eyes
"Remember when I said stay with me unless I tell you other wise?" He asked and Louis nodded "I'm telling you otherwise. And you promised to listen to me"
Louis frowned but agreed "Okay" he muttered, bringing Harry's hand to his lips and pressing a kiss to the man's knuckles
Harry smiled at this, nodding before taking another look above the bookshelf
"Styles" Niall said, making Harry turn around and look back down at the crouching boys "Don't die" he warned and Harry nodded in reply
"They're in here" someone called and a gun click was heard
"He's going to get himself killed" Liam muttered angrily
Harry made a quick run for it towards the backdoor, avoiding gun shots and dashing out of the building; Liam made the spontaneous decision to jump up and follow him, ensuring his safety
"Liam!" Zayn whined before running to follow the two of them
The three of them bolted through the back door with the policemen shooting after them "What the fuck are you doing!" Harry shouted at them, glancing back at the two boys
"Liam's dumb death wish" Zayn told him and Harry scowled at Liam as they ran
"It was stupid to think I'd let you go alone" Liam replied and Harry rolled his eyes
The three of them sprinted to the record store a few blocks away; the police were following them quickly, and Zayn pulled out his gun just in case. By the time they were a block away from the store, the police were on their tails and the bullets were clipping at their feet
Zayn stopped in his tracks, turning around and shooting down the herd of police officers behind them before turning around and breaking into a sprint, noticing that Harry and Liam had already gotten to the end of the block and into the next street
Meanwhile Niall and Louis waited a few seconds, hiding behind the bookshelf as they watched the three boys sprint away from them. The whole squad of police seemed to run after Harry, only leaving two men behind to watch around the area
"How fast are you at running?" Niall asked Louis quietly
"I uh...I'm...not really..." Louis stuttered out anxiously, not entirely sure if he could run for his life
"Okay" Niall said quickly, picking Louis up and throwing the boy over his shoulder before rising to his feet and running to the front exit
There was shouting from the police men behind them and the sound of gun shots began instantaneously; Niall pulled out his gun once they were meters away from the car and turned around to shoot at the police
"Grab the keys" he ordered quickly "Left pocket"
Louis did as he was told as Niall put him down, grabbing the keys and standing behind the blonde boy
"Run to the car and start the engine up, I'll be right there" Niall ordered, still focused on shooting down the policemen "I'll be right there, Louis" Niall told him when he noticed the discomfort on Louis' face
He watched Louis run towards the car before shooting down the mob of police. The police shot back, closely missing Niall who dodged at the bullets; it took mere seconds before all of the policemen were dead
Niall took the opportunity to run towards the car that was still parked outside of the jewelers, seeing that Louis had started it up and was climbing into the back seat. The blonde man jumped into the drivers seat, his head snapping around when he heard more guns being fired
"Shit, I thought I killed them all" he said with a frown, reloading his gun as he slammed his foot down on the accelerator
Louis gasped at the speed in which Niall set off at, gabbing onto the door handle for support as they whizzed down the street; Niall made a sharp left turn, slinging Louis across the back seat
"Steady on" Louis called out, panting as he sat himself back down properly
"Sorry!" Niall said quickly, pulling up besides an old records store
The shop was dilapidated and clearly out of use, nobody was around this side of town and no sirens could be heard from their current location as most of the policemen were on foot
"We're at our location!" Niall said through his headset "We're at the old record shop a block away from the jewelers" he informed
No voices came back through the headset but Niall assumed that the boy's has heard him, he didn't want to assume the worst
"Where are they?" Louis asked, worry evident in his tone
"No idea" Niall answered, frowning when he heard sirens in the distance "But they'd better hurry up"
Niall looked around, sticking his head out of the windows, grinning when he saw Harry and Liam running round the corner towards them, he frowned again when he didn't see Zayn
"Hurry up" Niall yelled through the window
"They're there?" Louis questioned, jumping up to look out of the window
The two boys ran over to them, jumping into the car with Liam in the front seat and Harry in the back with Louis
"Harry!" Louis exclaimed, grabbing at the man and pulling him into the car; Louis wrapped his arms around the man and hugged him tightly
Harry faltered for a second in confusion, but it wasn't long before he hugged Louis back, leaving little kisses on the boy's neck. Harry smiled into Louis' hair, because for the first time he felt as if there was someone in the world who cared if he didn't come back from a mission
"Are you alright?" Louis asked, pulling back to take a look at Harry; he ran a hand through the man's hair and smiled at him
"I'm alright" Harry promised, taking Louis' hand from his face and pressing a gentle kiss to it "And you?"
"I'm fine" Louis told him
"Did Niall look after you?" He questioned
"As best he could" Louis answered, flashing Niall a smile before turning back to Harry "Wait a second" he exclaimed after looking around the car, his eyes going back and forth between Liam and Harry "Where is Zayn?" He asked
"Oh, about that" Harry muttered, scratching his head and looking out of the window
"Where is he?" Louis demanded
"We heard gun shots" Liam explained "And when we looked back he was gone"
Louis' lips parted in shock as he looked between the two men "You left Zayn?" He questioned
"Zayn can take care of himself" Harry promised
"But, you left Zayn?" Niall asked just for clarification
"We didn't have a choice" Harry defended "His fault for stopping" Louis' face broke into a pouty frown and Harry squeezed his thigh to comfort him "Hey, it's alright" he muttered, offering Louis a smile
"He'd better hurry up" Niall sighed, listening as the sirens got louder every second
"We have to leave once the first police car shows up" Harry instructed
"What?" Liam questioned "No way" he stated "We're not leaving him"
"He'll be back by then" Harry stated
Niall set up his speaker and ear piece to the sound system of the car, turning up the volume before speaking
"Zayn are you there?" He asked "Zayn" He repeated, sighing when there was no reply "Great, the twat must've turned off his speakers"
"No need to call me a twat" Zayn's voice came through the speakers of the car, making Louis and Liam smile
"Where are you?" Niall questioned, trying trying to sound angry but he couldn't, being so happy that the boy was alive and responding
"Nearly there, hang on" Zayn panted
The flashing lights of a police car could be seen and the sound of the sirens were too near
"Where exactly are you?" Niall asked
"Look left" Zayn said, breathless
Harry opened the roof of the car, poking his head out to see Zayn running out of are nearby alleyway, he also saw a police car, speeding into the street
"Niall, drive" Harry instructed, sitting back down in the car
"But he's right there" Liam replied
"I don't care, drive" Harry demanded
"Harry!" Liam and Louis exclaimed in unision
"Drive, Niall" Harry shouted
"Harry, we can't leave him" Louis said, looking at Zayn as Niall put his foot on the pedal
"Wow, thanks guys" Zayn spoke, his voice sounded through the car
Harry snatched Niall's speaker piece, talking into it
"Cross the street, get into the second alleyway on the right hand side and get into the car as fast as you can" Harry spoke quickly, his voice stern and commanding
"Um what" Niall said at the same time as Zayn said "Got it"
"Niall, turn into the first alley" Harry told him and Niall nodded, making a sharp turn
Once he got to the end of the narrow street, he turned left, driving for for a bit before parking at the end of the second alleyway
After a mere few seconds, Zayn showed up at the other end, running through it quickly
Harry opened the door for him, noting that there were police cars coming towards the back of them
"Hurry up, Zayn" he muttered
Zayn sped towards them, diving into the car once he got close enough so that he was laid across Harry and Louis
Niall drove the car again quickly as Harry slammed the door shut
"Zaynie" Louis said happily, grabbing his face and pulling him into a hug
"Hey" Zayn let out an exhausted breath as he spoke
"Why'd you stop back there, you idiot?" Liam asked, scowling at Zayn
"They were too close" Zayn answered, panting heavily "Had to shoot them or they'd shoot us"
"Idiots" Harry muttered fondly "Both of you" he said, directing it to Zayn and Liam "You could've died"
Zayn laughed breathlessly at this "Well, you didn't think we'd let you die alone did you?" he replied
Harry rolled his eyes "Thanks" he said, smiling a little
Both boys nodded, knowing that Harry scarcely voiced his feelings, so these words were few and precious
Niall made a jerky turn through a narrow street and all the boys in the back fell to the right, squashing Louis "Ow" he whined
"Sorry, kid" Niall shouted from the front seat
Harry gave Louis an apologetic smile and Zayn patted his thigh lightly. At the sound of sirens, Harry jumped up and opened the sun roof, standing on the seat and shooting at the police cars behind them, bursting a few of their tires and bringing them to a stop
Liam looked out of the windows, instructing Niall the way to turn to avoid the police, using his phone to navigate a way home using small roads
"You okay? Got to the car safe?" Zayn asked Louis "No broke bones? Internal bleeding? Gun wounds?" he questioned, checking the younger boy's body
Louis giggled in reply "I'm fine" he promised
"Good" Zayn said with a smile, laying his head on Louis' lap, with his chest against Harry's feet
"You know that you could be helping me, Zayn?" Harry told him
"I've just ran an extra mile to save your arse" Zayn pointed out "I'm tired"
Harry carried on shooting, though there were far less police and the ones that were chasing them were far away
"We losing them?" Liam asked
"Looks like it" Harry answered
"Make a few turns and that should do it" Liam told Niall who nodded
He made a few more sharp turns into small streets, breaking away from the police like a professional
"Right, we've lost them" Harry announced
"Good team work lads" Zayn laughed, still laying on Louis. He let out a pained ummpf when Harry sat on his stomach after he'd shut the sun roof "Get off" he complained
Harry rolled his eyes, standing up so that Zayn could get up before sitting between between Louis and Zayn in the middle seat
"So that worked out okay" Zayn noted
"Yes, after a hide out, a run away and a police chase" Niall scoffed in reply
"The outcome was still successful" Zayn shrugged "We got what we wanted and got away safe"
Harry nodded "Almost died a few times, but yes it was a success overall" he agreed
Louis frowned at the mention of Harry dying; he couldn't think of anything worse. Eight months ago he didn't think he'd ever trust a man again in his life, but right now he was sat next to someone who he not only trusted, but cared for. The thought of losing that made him feel sick in a way that nothing else could
The worst part was that he knew he could never protect Harry from anyone who tried to hurt him; he would never been able to keep him from harm, and that thought scared
But instead of voicing this and telling the man what he truly meant to Louis, the later stayed quiet and took Harry's hand in his own for the rest of the car ride home
***
The car ride home was filled with Liam telling tales of their extravaganzas before Louis came into the picture; Harry cut him off whenever it got too gruesome and Niall encouraged the particularly gory parts
It was safe to say that Louis was slowly becoming accustomed to the danger that accompanied the Styles gang, but that didn't mean to say that he would advocate it. That's what Harry liked the most about Louis; he was so pure, but with a sense of understanding and a dangerous undertone laced within him
His past had ensured that he was aware of the darker side of life and the darker side of humanity, but Louis himself was pure in the fact that Harry saw only light and goodness within him. Harry and Louis were a juxtaposition in it's highest form; good and bad, light and dark, blood and water
This was only further proven by the way that Louis did nothing but care for Harry the moment they arrived home, it was like Louis had an instinct to look after Harry, just as Harry had a natural intuition for Louis' own needs
"It's going to sting a little" Louis warned, pressing the alcohol soaked cloth to Harry's knuckles
The taller man hissed but stayed still as Louis' cleaned his hand "You don't have to do this" Harry told him
"Who else is going to take care of you?" Louis asked and Harry smiled fondly
"I'm meant to be taking care of you, little one" he replied, watching as Louis removed the cloth and dried off his knuckles with a fresh towel
"We can take care of each other" Louis said, wrapping a bandage around Harry's knuckles and tying is at the ends
Harry looked down at his freshly bandaged hand before his eyes went back to Louis "Thank you" he said softly, reaching out to place his good hand on Louis' thigh "Come here, angel" he added, using his other hand to pull Louis onto his lap
Louis complied, sitting on Harry's lap and nuzzling his face into the man's shoulder before taking Harry's bandaged hand in his own "Does it hurt?" He asked, tracing the fabric with his little fingers
"No" Harry answered truthfully, leaning his head to rest on top of Louis' "And you?" He asked "No injuries?"
Louis giggled at this "Not since you last checked" he promised, referring to how Harry had asked him the exact same thing five minutes ago
Harry smiled at Louis' reply, running a hand over the boy's side "Can never be too careful" he muttered, sighing in content as he pressed his forehead against Louis'
"You take good care of me, Harry Styles" Louis praised "You mustn't doubt yourself" he added, offering Harry a smile
The green eyed man hummed at this "I'm glad you think so" he said, kissing Louis' nose softly and smiling "It's all I wish" he said "For you to have good health" he clarified
"Same goes" Louis told him, continuing to trace Harry's bandaged knuckles "So please, don't hurt yourself again"
"It was only a scratch" Harry replied and Louis raised an eyebrow at the man "Okay, I will avoid harm at all costs" he said
"Promise?" Louis questioned
Harry smiled down at the boy "I promise you, little one" he whispered, sealing the words with a kiss that Louis melted into
The kiss turned messy quickly, within seconds Louis had wrapped his arms around Harry's neck as the later was tugging at Louis' soft hair as he kissed him deeply
"Christ" Harry muttered, chasing Louis' lips "You drive me crazy" he whispered, wrapping his arms around Louis and bringing their lips together again
Louis hummed happily into the kiss, his eyes fluttering shut as he let his lips move against Harry's. Harry kissed him softly, cupping Louis' face and nipping gently at the boy's bottom lip with his teeth, pushing Louis' hair back tenderly as he kissed him
"Sorry to interrupt!" Liam shouted as he shoved the bedroom door open
Louis pulled back from Harry and shyly wiped at the corners of his mouth as they both turned to face Liam
"What on earth could be so important that you couldn't even knock?!" Harry snapped, raising an eyebrow at Liam
"We've made a very important discovery" Liam announced "One that you will be more than delighted to hear"
"Well go on" Harry replied, waving a dismissive hand at Liam "Spit it out" he encouraged
Liam glanced at Louis before looking back at Harry "I was thinking you could come to the planning room" he suggested, sparing Louis a second glance "It's confidential"
Harry frowned at this and he wrapped a protective arm around Louis "Anything that is to be said can be said to the both of us" he said firmly
"Not this" Liam replied, offering Louis and apologetic smile
"He has just attended a ball in which we massacred over a hundred people with poison laced bullets!" Harry exclaimed "He can hear what you have to say!" He snapped
"Harry, it's fine" Louis said softly, placing a hand on Harry shoulder and offering the man a smile, though he felt a pang of pain in his chest because no matter what he did, he would always be second best
"It's Zayn's orders" Liam said quickly, holding his hands up in defence "He thinks you should hear it first" he added "You can tell Louis if you decide"
Harry sighed at this, gently lifting Louis off of him and onto the bed "I won't be long, little one" he promised, leaning forwards to peck Louis' lips before withdrawing himself completely and walking over to Liam "This better be the best revelation the three of you have ever had" he snapped
"Oh, it just might be" Liam muttered before leading Harry into the planning room
It's safe to say that Liam did not disappoint
I just HAD to include a little bit of Larry fluff at the end!!! Did you enjoy it?
