forty-two: the cabin in the woods

"So this is it?" Harry asks, looking up at the cabin in front of him with a frown. Liam gives him a nod, his hand on the handle for the door of the car as he gets ready to get out of it. 

"He should be here, unless she moved him within the past couple hours." Liam says, getting out of the car and shutting the door behind him. Harry takes a moment to get out himself, biting down on his lip as he looks at the house. He was weary to say the least, risking a glance towards Liam who's lighting a cigarette. 

"Since when did you start smoking?" Harry asks, earning a shrug from Liam as he puts his lighter back into his pocket. Liam takes a long drag, blowing out the smoke before putting the cigarette back between his lips. 

"It helps me think." Liam answers, looking at the door of the cabin as Harry folds his arms over his chest. 

"Are we going in?" 

"Not yet, there's some things we need to go over before we go in there. She's got one other guy on her team besides me, don't know who the guy nor do I care but he's the one who's in there. She's also got cameras, so that's why Zayn's gotta keep her distracted long enough to get in there and get Louis out. There's a window just over that will get you into the living room, Louis is in the room on the immediate left." Liam says, taking another drag before throwing his cigarette on the floor and stepping on it. 

"And what exactly is it you're going to do?" 

"I'm going to keep the other guy distracted while you get Louis out that same window. We won't have much time, Harry. So you need to get in there the second I walk through that front door." Liam says, his voice stern as he stares at Harry who only nods. 

"Before we do this, are you sure she isn't keeping Easton here?" 

"He isn't here. Now let's go, we don't have much time." Liam says, already walking towards the front door. Harry doesn't even get the chance to protest, his eyes widening as he realizes he needs to get to the window fast. So that's what Harry does, practically running and almost tripping once he reaches the window. Harry takes a deep breath as he places his hands against it, releasing the breath as he tries to push the window up. It was a little easier said than done, the window not wanting to budge but Harry got it open after another minute. Harry couldn't hear anyone talking as he carefully climbs through the window, frowning a little when he notices Liam standing just off to the side looking around the room like he was. 

"Where is he?" Harry whispers, earning a shrug from Liam who points towards Louis' bedroom door. Harry bites down on his bottom lip again, slowly making his way towards the door. Harry gets ready to open the door, only to have Liam shove him out of the way.

"Dude, what the he-" Harry starts only to have Liam hold up a finger to his lips. He makes a gesture towards the door again, placing his own hand against the doorknob and slowly starts to open it. It was then that Harry heard people talking, instantly recognizing one of the voices to be Louis'. 

"Hey, sorry to interrupt and all... but Trisha's on the phone. She wants to talk to you." Liam says, standing in the doorway. Harry stands off to the side, making sure to keep out of sight as the man walks out of the room. Liam catches Harry's eye, but keeps walking out with the man as Harry quickly runs into the room. He doesn't even give Louis a chance to understand what was happening, grabbing his best friend's hand and pulling him off the bed which earns a small squeak.

"Harry? Wh-"

"I'm getting you out of here, but we need to hurry." Harry says in a rush, already walking towards the door again before he hesitates. Louis runs right into him, letting out another squeak. 

"What's going on? Why aren't we leaving?" Louis whispers, unable to really look around Harry as he was blocking the entire doorway. Harry shushes Louis again, earning a look but Louis shuts up either way. It was then that Louis realized what it was that had made Harry stop, the sounds of a crying baby coming from somewhere else in the house. 

"Louis, I'm going to need you to get yourself out, okay? There's a window, just that way. You need to go out that and run to my car alright? I'll be right behind you." Harry says in a rush, turning to look at Louis who seemed weary of the idea. 

"I can't just leave you." 

"Now is not the time to be stubborn, Louis. I can't get both you and Easton out at the same time, so get out of here. I'll be right behind you." Harry says, pulling Louis in front of him and gently nudging him in the right direction. 

"Run, Louis." Harry says one more time, earning a nod from Louis before he finally does as he's told. Louis goes running towards the window while Harry goes towards the sound of the crying baby. Harry finds himself standing in front of the door, his hand hesitating on the doorknob. He opens it though, a sigh of relief passing through him when he sees Easton standing up in a crib. Harry didn't hesitate in picking him up, holding the baby close. The happy moment was short lived though when Harry felt cold metal pressed to the back of his head. 

And then there was the sound of a gunshot.
