"Any news on Harry?" Louis asks softly and Zayn hands him a cup of steaming hot tea. The hazel eyed lad sighs before shaking his head.

It had been 3 weeks since Harry had gone missing and since then, Zayn has been searching him everywhere possible. But he still doesn't have a clue where his husband his. He has even tried calling him but everytime, it would say unreachable.

"No, Lou." Zayn takes a seat beside Louis on the couch. He looks down at his lap with so much sadness, that it makes Louis feel bad for his friend.

"I have checked everywhere. He isn't at his parents place or at any of our other friends' place that I know. I have even checked all the places that could possiblg linked to his hint 'region of the summer stars' but I found nothing. No trace of him or my baby." Zayn sighs as he massages his temple with the thumb and the index finger. He's so stressed. And being here in the apartment all alone doesn't help him with the depression either. He just wants his husband and baby here, with him.

"Have you-have you checked his office?" Louis asks. Zayn stares at him in confusion.

"Louis, why would Harry stay at his office with Aleeza?"

"God, what I'm gonna do with this lad." He hears Louis' mumble to himself before taking a sip of his tea.

"Zayn." Louis sighs. "You remember his dick of a boss? Nick Grimshaw?"

"Yeah. How can I forget Grimmy?" Zayn chuckles. "He's a good friend as well as Harry's boss."

Harry had introduced Nick to all of them at a coffee shop when they all met to celebrate Harry's pregnancy. Since Nick has become a good friend to Harry at work, Harry decided to invite him too. The meeting was good, seeing all the lads got on well with each other, well except Louis who had spent the entire day glaring at Nick. And although Elina had advised him not to go there, Zayn still went because first, Harry was carrying his baby and second, it had been a while he last saw Harry.

"Exactly my point." Louis looks at him like Zayn has hit a lottery.

"Huh?" Zayn looks at him in confusion.

"Ugh, Zayn! God, why are you so stupid?" Louis rolls his eyes. Zayn tries not to feel offended by his friend's comment.

"Zayn, my bradford bad boi.." Louis places a hand on Zayn's shoulder. "Harry can't go to another place for a long time without informing Grimmy about it."

Shit, why didn't I think it before. Zayn thinks to himself.

Because you're an idiot, duh!

Shut the fuck up mind.

What? I am telling the truth only.

Ugh! I hate you.

You can't. I am a part of you, remember? But love you too. Now go and find your husband. Don't waste anymore time.

I still hate you.

Sure, boy.

"Ugh!" Zayn graons in annoyance, making Louis look at him weirdly.

"You okay, Zayn?"

"Yeah." He clears his throat. "Just a little stressed. So about Grimmy." He quickly change the subject.

"Yeah, about him. I think we should go and talk to him." Louis says before taking another sip of his tea. The hazel eyed lad quickly stands up. A hopeful smile on his face.

"What are we waiting for then?"

*****

"Zayn, Louis, it's so good to see you here." Nick Grimshaw welcome the boys as they enters his small office.

"It's good to see you too, Grimmy." Zayn smiles at the taller lad which Nick returns.

"Same here, lad." Louis nods at him.

"Please take a seat." Nick gestures to the two chairs politely to which both the lads nod and take their seats, Nick doing the same.

"Do you want anything? Tea, coffee?" Both Zayn and Louis shake their head in no.

"Okay, so what you guys are here for?" Nick inquires as he intertwine his fingers on his wooden desk.

"About that." Louis looks at him curtly. "Where ths fuck is Harry?"

"Lou." Zayn hisses at his friend before turning to look at Grimny, who is now smirking at Louis.

"I have always liked that attitude of yours. Just like your ass." Nick grins at him smugly. Zayn looks at Louis, well,  who looks  flustered.

"Uh." Zayn clears his throat, making Nick turning his attention to him. "Do by any chance know where Harry is?" He asks him politely.

"Yeah, I do." Nick tells him as he looks at the tanned lad intently.

"You do?" Zayn asks hopefully. "Where is he?"

"I am afraid, I can't tell you that." Nick smiles at them like it's nothing and that's what angers Zayn the most. He is about to lash on him but Louis beats him at that.

"You fucker." The blue eyed boy stands up from his chair, as he glares at the older boy hard. "Just tell us already where he is."

"Well, as I said, I can't tell you that." Nick smiles at Louis sweetly. Too sweetly for the shorter lad's liking and it makes Zayn think if there's something between them.

"Why?" Zayn decides to step in. "Why can't you tell us?" He asks the lad curiously.

"I had promised Harry that I won't tell a soul about his whereabouts." Nick says, looking sincerely at him.

"Hah! Look who's talking about promises." Louis spits. Zayn really thinks what's going on between them.

"Louis-" Zayn warns but Louis is already walking out of the office.

"I'll be waiting for you in the car, Zayn." He doesn't wait for a reply before walking out of the office.

"Shit!" He turns his attention to Nick who is holding his head in his hands. "I messed up, again."

"What did you do?" Zayn asks curiously.

"Um, Lou and I used to date in the high school. I promised him that I won't leave him ever, but I had to leave for college and-"

"You had to break your promise, right?" Zayn looks at him, now smiling sympathetically. Nick nods.

"I have been trying to talk to him after Harry introduced us all that day. But he's too stubborn. Won't even talk to me properly."

Zayn nods. Now he understands why Louis is always giving Nick cold shoulders. It all makes sense now.

"Okay. I think I can help you." Zayn smiles at him. Nick's face instantly lit up in happiness. "I can get him talk to you."

"Thank-"

"But..." Zayn smirks making Nick frown. He hates to do this but Nick has left him with no option. "I'll only talk to Louis if you tell me where Harry is."

Nick's smile fell and he starts biting his lip in nervousness.

"I-I want to tell you but..." Nick sighs. "I have promised Harry, Zayn. I can't break the promise."

"Please at least tell me, they are okay?" Zayn asks with pleading eyes. "I'm worried sick about them."

"They are okay." Nick smiles at him. Zayn feels a little relieved at the new found information. At least now he knows that they are okay.

He still wants to meet Harry.

He needs to find him.

But where?

"Okay." Zayn smiles at the older lad sadly. "Thanks for the information, Grimmy." He gets up from the seat, Nick doing the same. "It was really nice to meet you. I'll try my best to get Louis talk to you."

"Zayn you don't have to-" Nick tries to pritest but Zayn waves him off.

"It's alright, Grimmy." Zayn gives him a sad smile. "If my little contribution brings you guys closer then I'd definitely do it. I know how it feels to not having the person you love close to you."

He looks at Nick who is staring down ay his shoes before turning around to leave.

"Bye nick."

"Zayn." Nick calls out as Zayn is about to walk out of the office. The hazel eyed man turns around and raises an eyebrow at him when he sees Nick scratching the side of his neck.

"Um, I promised Harry not to tell anyone about where he is but..." Zayn doesn't know why his heart is beating so fast right now. He just want to about where Harry is. Something, anything. But he wants to know.

"...I have another branch of this office at Cheshire."
