The boys take over Louis packing and he sits on the bed watching them both.

"Okay there baby?" Scott asks eyeing Louis warily.

"This is all my fault" Louis says softly.

"Darling, we've been over this" Harry says.

Louis sighs.

"Come on, lets get going, we're in this together Louis" Scott says as he holds out his hand to Louis.

Louis takes his hand and they meet James in the entryway.

"Okay, now, we have a car waiting downstairs, Troy is going to be watching us move you. I will be in one car, you boys in the other, we will be heading downtown but will be taking our time getting there, to ensure we get there safely. I will meet you at the hotel" James says.

"So we can travel together?" Harry asks.

"It's safer, we will have people following you, and we will station an officer here to monitor the apartment" James says.

The boys nod

"How long will we be gone for?" Louis asks innocently

James sighs

"Until it's safe kiddo, I can't say, I'm sorry" James says sympathetically

Louis nods and they get going, Scott and Harry on either side of Louis. It's quiet and tense and when they get to the parking garage everything happens quickly and efficiently. The boys are all led into the waiting car, James and two agents in the car behind. It's a swift process and the car has tinted windows, they are led out into the open and Louis wonders how long it will be until this is all over.

Louis is lost in his thoughts until Scott and Harry grab onto his arms, he looks up curiously and sees they are both on edge and he's instantly scared. Harry takes his phone out of his pocket and types something. He shows it to Louis discretely.

"This is a set up, something is off, we will get us out of safely, listen to us and don't panic" the text says.

Louis doesn't have time to comprehend the message before there is a loud bang the car is spun out of control and he loses consciousness.

....

Louis wakes in pain, he feels like he's been hit by a bus, he's freezing and it's dark, his head is pounding. As his eyes adjust to the room he sees he's in a basement but can't see Harry or Scott, he tries to steady his breathing. The door then opens and in come two men, he's never seen them before, they smirk at him and one hauls him up causing Louis to cry out on pain.

"So glad you're awake, been out quiet a while" the guy who grabs him says.

Louis is trying to get his head around everything, he barely remembers leaving the apartment, he's so confused.

"So you're Troy's son huh, we've been waiting to meet you personally, Troy has told us how good you are at handling pain, can't wait to test that out" the other guy smirks.

Louis can't talk, he's scared and he's worried about Scott and Harry

"There's some people who've been waiting for you, shall we go?" One if them says.

Louis is then dragged out of the cell, where he's been kept, and taken up a set of stairs, they are in a warehouse and it's empty and dirty. Louis can hardly walk.

He's then taken into a room where he sees Harry and Scott, both tied to a chair and gagged. They don't look hurt and Louis is relieved. Their eyes widen when they see Louis and they both struggle to get out of their restraints, Louis can hear them trying to say his name. This is bad.

"So boys, Troy should be arriving any second now and we all know what's going to happen when he gets here" they guy who's holding Louis says as he puts his hand to his head and mimics shooting himself.

Louis gasps and tries to get out of his hold,

"We thought we could have some fun before that though" the other guy says as he reaches out and takes a swing at Louis, Louis is so out of it and in pain he falls to the ground, he can hear Harry and Scott trying so hard to get out and help Louis, the two men laugh as they continue their assault on Louis, it's harsh and brutal and Louis thinks he may pass out.

Louis then locks eyes with Harry and Scott, they are panicked and he's never seen them so scared. Louis tries to regain himself, he needs to get through this, needs to help Harry and Scott. Louis takes blow after blow and tries to stay conscious.

Harry and Scott try desperately to get free, they need to help Louis, it's killing them, being tied up and not being able to help him.

Louis takes a deep breath and remembers back to the academy and their self defence classes, he was always put up against Harry, he never won but he remembers why, Louis musters all his strength and kicks out, hitting one of the guys in the balls, he gets a swift kick to the ribs for it. Louis takes it. The guy he kicked is so angry he marches straight to Scott and holds the gun to his head. In that moment Louis senses the desperation of the situation and he isn't going to let these two hurt Scott and Harry.

Harry then manages to kick out and trip the guy up from behind, he falls to the ground, his gun going across the floor. Louis gathers all his strength and runs for the gun, he's tackled but Louis knows he has to get through this, he has to save Harry and Scott. He gathers his strength and fights both guys, he doesn't know how he does it or how he ends up kicking out and running for the gun. He doesn't think before he shoots one of the men in the leg, he goes down in pain. The other guy then goes to pull his gun out and shoot Harry, Louis is quicker though and shoots him straight in the chest. He falls to the ground blood everywhere.

Louis didn't realise he was crying as he drops the gun to the floor, the clatter echoing in the silent warehouse. Louis locks eyes with Harry and Scott before he's racing over to them.

He unties them, breathing heavy.

"Fuck baby, Wholly shit" Harry says as he gathers Louis in his arms.

"Baby, fuck, are you okay" Scott asks.

Louis lets out a few tears as he grabs on to Harry and Scott, he nearly lost them and doesn't want to let go.

"Shhh it's okay, it's going to be okay" they tell him,

Suddenly the place is swarmed by agents and there are arrests made, everything happens in a blur  and Louis, Scott and Harry are taken to the agent medic to get checked over. Harry and Scott don't leave Louis side, they are fine physically, a few cuts and bruises, Louis was the one who copped it the most in the crash and beatings.

James turns up at the scene and races over to the three of them.

"Shit, are you guys okay?" He asks as he reaches the medic, all three are sitting on the ground Louis leaning against Scott for support.

"We are, Louis not so much" Scott says.

"I'm fine" Louis speaks up.

"We need to get you to the hospital, you've been in a car accident and had the shit beaten out of you" Harry says sternly.

"I'm fine" Louis says again.

"What the fuck happened?" Scott asks James.

"We don't know, someone is on the inside, working for Troy, we should have been onto it but it all changed in a second. We don't know who's behind it all, but we will find out" James assures the boys.

"Lets get Louis to a hospital, I'll drive you two over once we take your statements"James says.

"No way we aren't leaving Louis side" Harry says.

The thought of anyone hurting Louis again, even touching him has him and Scott on edge, they won't rest until Troy is behind bars.

"I need you both here to go over what happened, Noah is on his way i'll have Noah drive him if that makes you feel better" James says.

Harry and Scott look at each other, they don't know who they can trust.

"I'm fine I don't need a hospital" Louis urges.

"Just stop lying you really are so shit at it" Scott smirks as he kisses Louis on the head.

Noah then turns up on scene with Cody and Rhys

"Great" Harry says under his breath.

James heads over to the boys to have a chat while Harry and Scott help Louis stand up.

"I don't want to go without you, please, I'm fine" Louis says.

He then goes to walk and nearly collapses but Scott steadies him.

"Woah, careful darling, I gotcha" Scott says as he looks at Harry worriedly

"Louis, we don't want any arguments, you're going straight to the hospital, we will call Andy and let him know you're on your way, we will be there within the hour, we promise" Harry says.

"Harry, I can just wait while you do what you need to, please" Louis says, getting upset.

"Listen to me darling, you're really badly hurt, you need to go now, we will be right behind you" Harry says.

Scott then pulls out his phone to call Andy, telling him Louis is on his way in. Harry walks Louis over and deposits him in the backseat of Noah's car, he kisses Louis on the head and closes the door. He and Scott then turn to Noah, Rhys and Cody.

"Anything happens to him, we will kill you" Harry says sternly

"You touch him and you're dead" Scott says venomously

"Understood, we will get him straight to The hospital" Cody says.

They then climb into the car and begin the drive..

Harry and Scott both turn towards James

"Let's get this over with, we need to be with Louis" Scott says.

"I know boys, I'll have you out of here within the hour" James says.

"I don't understand why we couldn't do this later" Harry says.

James stops and turns to Harry and Scott.

"We have a rat boys, I don't trust anyone but you two, Louis, Drew, Joey and Jake. This is serious and if we want to find out who caused that accident, kidnaped and nearly killed the three of you we need to work fast, I need your help" James says.

Scott and Harry nod, Louis is still in danger and they need to help James.

"Now we lost you on fifth street, just before the accident, the two guards we had placed in the car are dead, they were not working for Troy, they had no idea what was going to happen. We found their navigation was tampered with, we are trying to locate the origin. The accident was planned by Troy which means someone on the inside knows what's going on" James says.

"We noticed something was off as soon as we missed fifth street, we sensed it was wrong but it was to late, we couldn't do anything and that's when we were hit" Harry says.

"Louis was knocked out straight away. They took him first and then Harry and I, we didn't see Louis until they brought him upstairs, Troy was supposed to show up and kill us" Scott says,

"It didn't take us long to find you, Troy knew that, he wasn't going to risk turning up, he set his men up to fail" James says

"So he's got another plan?" Scott asks.

"We think so" James says.

"What about Louis, what's stopping them taking him again, now we aren't with him?" Harry asks slightly panicked.

"Listen don't panic okay" James says.

"James" Scott says worriedly.

"Trust me boys, I won't let anything happen to him, we have the car on surveillance, we think Troy will try to strike again, while Louis is alone. We need to be ready" James says.

"So you sent him off as bait?" Harry says furiously.

"No, we are just making sure we find who's following him, we know he will be followed to the hospital, we just need to know who by" James says.

James then walks towards his car and gestures for Harry and Scott to get in.

"We're following too, they just don't know it" James says.

Harry and Scott are worried, something doesn't feel right.

"We don't trust Cody and Rhys" Harry tells James.

"Neither do I" James says.

In that moment Scott's Phone rings and he sees it's Andy.

"Andy? Is Louis okay?" Scott asks

"Louis isn't here, I got a missed call from a private number, while I was seeing a patient, voicemail said Louis was being taken home, I just wanted to see if you wanted me to do a house-call" Andy says.

"Fuck" Scott says.

James and Harry look towards Scott worriedly,

"I'll call you back Andy" Scott says as he hangs up "Andy was called, told Louis was being taken home, someone has him, somethings happened" Scott says his face in sheer terror.

James's Phone rings and he answers on speaker.

"Croydon" he says sternly.

"Boss, the GPS has been turned off, we lost them" the caller says.

"It's Rhys and Cody" Harry says angrily.

"Find them" James says and hangs up the phone.

"All the signs were there, at the academy, at the bureau, fuck we are idiots" Scott says.

James turns the sirens on and speeds through the streets, everyone is notified and the squad get organised to try and find Louis, Harry and Scott just hope they find him, before Troy does.
