"Louis, please bud, why won't you just have a few more sessions with Kimberly" Scott says as the boys sit down to dinner.

"I don't need them Scott, please just leave it" Louis asks getting upset.

The boys made him see Kimberly after his first nightmare at Harry's and now are trying to make him go back for more sessions but he's fine. Doesn't need them.

"Okay okay, we will stop pushing.....for now, but Lou, we will step in if we need to, understand" Edward says with finality.

"Yeah, Fine" Louis says back frustrated as he sits down next to Harry.

Harry and Charlie are over for dinner and are a constant nearly every night. Harry will stay with Louis or Louis will go back to Harry's and Charlie and Edward seem to have hit it off romantically and although they haven't announced anything, they are definitely involved with each other and look really happy.

Harry puts his arm comfortingly on Louis leg under the table, Louis appreciates Harry's calmness and support right now. He feels a little lost and can't get rid of this feeling he has in his gut, that something isn't right, that something is wrong, something is going to happen, he's trying to deal with that and the nightmares and he's feeling so tired.

Louis doesn't eat much and ends up straddling Harry facing him and falls asleep snuggled in his chest. The deep drawl of Harry's voice and the comfort from his laughter vibrating in his chest lulls Louis to sleep.

"Did he have another bad night Last night Haz?" Charlie asks as Harry's hand rubs up and down over Louis back.

"Yeah woke twice actually, I got him back to sleep pretty quickly though" Harry says.

"I wish he would just see Kimberly" Edward says sighing.

"He's 18 we can't force him" Scott says.

"We have to trust that Louis will come to us when he needs to and we will know when we need to step in" Drew says.

"I have noticed guys, and it's only because of the field I work in and we see this everyday, but. Louis has been acting a little strange at times when we are out. Like he sees things, flashbacks I'm not sure but he's said a few times in his dreams that he sees Stanley and I don't know if it's ptsd coming through or what but I think it's something we need to keep an eye on. Something we should probably let Kimberly know" Harry says.

The boys take in what Harry says

"That happened to me when we were at the grocery store the other day, he panicked and was looking across the car park and when I asked him what was wrong he just told me nothing, he did keep looking over his shoulder though, the whole time" Scott says worriedly.

"So he's seeing things now?" Edward asks worriedly

"It could just be flashbacks, like Harry said PTSD, something might have triggered him and all of a sudden he's reminded of something he went through" Charlie says

"Yeah that makes sense I guess. Which is why Kimberly needs to see him again" Drew says

"Like you said we can't force him but I'll try to talk to him, see what's going on, see if I can convince him to see Kimberly again" Harry says as he looks at Louis innocent sleeping face.

"Thanks Haz" the boys say.

Harry smiles and holds Louis close as the room goes back to chattering, Having Louis safe in his arms is like home to Harry and he wants to hold Louis forever.

...

"Meet me at the station after work okay baby" Harry says the next day as Harry drops Louis to uni for his classes

"Yep, I'll be there by 4 in time for you to finish" Louis says as they kiss goodbye

"Have a great day baby" Harry says smiling

"You too" Louis smiles and exits the car.

Louis walks to class and and Harry heads to the station, he's got a new case that's keeping him up at night. There's been reports of several stalking incidents of teenage boys in the area. It's giving him a weird feeling in his gut, he's uneasy and doesn't know why. He knows it's not connected to Louis case over a year ago. Stanley was sentenced to life without parole, he's locked up but some things happening only Stanley would know and Harry doesn't know how it's just a coincidence.

"I know we get copycats all the time But how does he know these things?" Harry asks as he paces his and Charlie's office, whiteboards and paper cuttings all over the place.

"I hate to say it Haz, but I really don't know" Charlie responds.

They both sigh.

Harry's phone then rings and he sees it's Louis, he answers quickly.

"Hey baby" Harry says into the receiver.

"H" Louis whispers.

"Lou, what's wrong" Harry then asks worriedly.

Louis finishes his third class of the day and begins his walk to Harry's station. He's crossing the football fields and no one is around. He gets a really uneasy feeling and looks behind him feeling like he's being watched.

"I'm really sorry to bother you and it's probably nothing but I feel like I'm....." Louis starts, he then hears a noise behind him and quickly turns around.

There is no one there.

"You're what darling" Harry asks as he tries to keep himself calm

"Being followed" Louis whispers into the phone.

"Where are you" Harry says his heart rate picking up.

"The field's" Louis says.

"Okay i'm coming, don't move" Harry says as he and Charlie make their way to Harry's rover, they request a squad car as well and they are on their way to Louis

Louis hangs the phone up and looks around the fields he stops in his tracks though, when he stares directly at Stanley. Louis double takes... it can't be, how the fuck is Stanley staring at him, Stanley is in jail. He's in jail yet he's staring at Louis from the tree line, he's 15 feet away from Louis.

Louis panics, he is frozen in his spot and completely panicking, he doesn't realise when Harry and the squad turn up and that Stanley is gone, until Harry is in front of him.

"Lou" Harry asks worriedly bringing Louis back to reality.

Louis looks at Harry.

"Are you okay?" Harry asks

"It's Stanley, he's following me" Louis says straight out.

Harry looks to Charlie who's looking just as confused.

"Lou, Stanley is in jail, he can't hurt you" Charlie says as he comforts Louis as well.

"Boys, check around, see if you can find anything" Harry tells the boys.

"Sure boss" they chorus and go to check the tree line and fields.

"Let's get you to the car bud" Charlie says as he and Harry lead Louis back towards the rover.

They sit him down in the front seat and kneel down.

"You don't belive me do you" Louis says

Harry and Charlie look towards each other.

"Of course we belive you kid, it's just maybe you saw someone else or something else" Charlie says.

"It was him, I swear it was him he's been following me for weeks" Louis accidentally spills.

"What do you mean he's been following you for weeks Louis" Harry asks sternly and worriedly

"I....never mind, it's nothing sorry, I'm sorry I waisted your time" Louis says as he turns around to face the front of the car.

"Boss?" Max, One of the squad says and Harry and Charlie turn around and walk towards Max

Louis closes the door, he feels so stupid how could he be so stupid. It can't be Stanley.

"What did you find?" Harry asks

Max holds out a blue and white baseball shirt that's been secured in a forensic bag by the boys.

"What the fuck" Harry asks as he takes the bag

"What is it?" Charlie asks concerned.

"This is Louis, Louis was wearing this shirt the day he went missing, what the fuck is going on" Harry asks as they all look to Louis in the front seat of the car.

Louis feels he's being watched and looks out the window to see everyone staring at him. He feels like such an idiot and Harry is really going to think he's going crazy now.

No one talks on the drive back to the station. Louis doesn't say a single word while he waits for Harry to finish work, while Harry and Charlie drive him back to the penthouse

Louis runs straight to his room when he gets home and the boys are all sitting around the table, they watch him go and Harry and Charlie sigh as they make their way over to the table.

Dinner is set out and Drew grabs beers for everyone. Charlie and Harry take off their coats and sit down.

"What happened?" Scott asks as they all get comfortable, Charlie called and gave them a rundown but they don't know specifics.

"He thinks he saw Stanley" Charlie tells them.

"What?" They all ask confused.

"He's certain it was Stanley that was following him" Charlie says again.

"That's not possible" Drew says.

"So he is seeing things? We need to get on to Kimberly" Edward says worriedly.

Charlie and Harry sigh

"What?" The boys ask looking at them expectantly.

"We don't think Louis is crazy, we don't think he's seeing Stanley...but he's seeing someone" Harry says.

"I don't understand, what's going on?" Scott asks.

"We've been working on a case, there has been a number of stalking reports across the city. There is a stalker out there and he's targeting young boys. We think he's a copycat of Stanley's and today the boys found something when we searched the park when we found Louis" Harry explains.

"What did they find?" Edward asks.

"They found Louis shirt, the one he went missing in" Harry says

"What, wholly shit" Scott says.

"What does that mean? Is he in danger?" Drew asks.

"We don't know, but, we don't know how they got the shirt and weird things have been happening, the reports have been eerily similar to the description of Stanley and whoever it is knows things that only Stanley would know" Charlie says.

"He's definitely locked up, we've triple quadruple checked" Harry says to reassure the boys.

"Shit, does Louis know all this?" Scott asks.

"No, we didn't tell him what was found or about the case" Harry says.

"I don't think we should tell him" Drew says.

"I agree, he's already completely on edge with the nightmares and adding this I think might push him over" Scott says.

"Okay if you're sure" Harry says.

"I think we still need to get Kimberly on board" Edward says and the bud agree.

"We need to make sure Louis isn't walking alone and isn't alone anymore just...until we sort this out and catch the guy" Harry says.

"Yeah Absolutely but we have to be subtle, we don't want him to freak out and think we are smothering him. And we don't want him to worry" Scott says.

"Agreed" the boys says and they start on dinner, Harry lost in thought about how to keep Louis safe
