Chapter Fifty Two

Meghan's P.O.V

Suddenly, after the two minutes had passed, the fire alarm went off as planned. Jake and I run over to Drake through the crowd who are eager to get out, thinking that there actually is a fire. The loud music is still playing, the DJ obviously too shit scared to stop the song.

Lila was gone by the time Jake and I reached Drake. "Drake, the address." I say, holding my hand out to him, acting as if I was actually wanting to save the bitch named Evie. Drake fumbles into his pocket, the drunken, frustrated smile on his face. When he hands me the paper, I go to pull him out of the seat, only for Drake to push himself away from me.

"What are you doing?" I snap, narrowing my eyes at Drake. "We have to go and get Evie!" I shout over the music, watching as the people are still trying to get out of the club. Drake's eyes meet mine, the green so bright that I might've actually thought that we looked alike.

"You go... but before you do..." Drake crouches down and digs into the bag that I didn't even know he had with him. Then, he pulls out a gun, pushing it towards my stomach. "Take this. You'll need it." Drake says breathlessly, making me roll my eyes mentally.

How much did this guy drink?

"Okay," I say, not really putting any thought into the fact that Drake just gave me a gun. It's like he knows what is going to happen. Before I leave Drake, he sends me the smallest grin before waving, and just thinking that it's the alcohol, I return the grin.

He has no idea how this is going to end.

Running outside and into the alleyway beside the club, I see everyone. The twins, Lila, Johnny, Emma and Danny. I nod towards everyone, sending them the smallest smiles. "Thank you, everyone." I say, grabbing the address out of my pocket. "Because, we now know where to get that little bitch." I say, watching as Chris and William grin.

Time to do this.

Driving to the address with my hand in Jake's, I feel my heart begin to race. I don't know why I'm starting to feel the pressure but something tells me that I shouldn't have got involved. Like I'm the one who is going to end up dead or something.

Nope, don't think that way... I think to myself as I breathe out a sigh. I'm doing this for Charlie and no one else. I just need to keep my head on Charlie and I'll be fine.

"You okay?" Jake asks, looking over at me. With my hand resting on the wheel, I glance over at him and nod slowly.

"Yeah, just nervous." I say, shaking my head as a chuckle escapes my lips. "God, I wasn't even this nervous when I went to go and see my mother..." I trail off, the smile wiping off of my face when I remember my brother.

Feeling a small squeeze at my hand, Jake sends me a small smile. "Its going to go as planned, Meghan. Trust me." Jake says and as his words run around my head, I can't help but return the smile.

"I love you, Jake." I say, running my thumb over his hand. Jake lifts our hands and kisses mine, the small action making my heart explode.

"I love you too, Meghan."

Turning the corner, I realise that we are finally at the address. I lick my lips and park the car on the side of the road, looking at the large building which looks a little like a hotel. Noticing everyone else park on the side of the road, their engines cutting off, I breathe out a sigh and do the same.

Letting go of Jake's hand, I get out of the car, letting the cold air run past my face. Jake walks over to my side and watches as Danny and Emma walk over to us, confused and nervous.

"Does anyone recognise this place?" Danny asks, glancing at the building. Frowning, I look over at Danny and shake my head. But suddenly, I see Emma and Jake nod, which takes me by surprise.

"I thought this place got knocked down." Emma says and I furrow my eyebrows, looking at the building.

"How do you guys know this place?" I ask but before Emma can reply to my question, I hear William and Chris gasp as they walk over to the four of us.

"Wasn't this the hotel that was on fire a few years ago?"

"Yeah, it was! I thought they would've knocked it down."

Pausing at the twins' responses, I look at the building again, the memories now rushing into my mind. Wait... I do remember this place. This was the hotel that went on fire and Evie and Drake were blamed for it.

Holy. Shit.

Biting the inside of my cheek, I shake my head. "Okay, does everyone want a re-run of what they are doing?" I ask, watching as everyone shakes their heads. I notice Lila cross her arms over her chest, glancing at the building.

"How do we get in?"

Watching as everyone shrugs, I breathe out a sigh.

Why am I the only person who knows the answer to that?

"Okay, so, the place will be guarded. I don't know how many people will be at every entrance, but we have to take into account that there will be at least two people. The people that are in there obviously know that something is going to go down tonight so, does everyone have their weapons?" I ask, watching as everyone nods... except for Danny, Emma, and Jake.

Sighing, I raise my finger to the group and grab the three into our own circle, away from the rest of the criminals. "I'm just going to get straight to the point. Do you want a gun?" I ask, looking at Danny, Emma, and Jake. I watch as Danny raises his hand, eager to get his hands on a gun.

Before I give him a gun though, I narrow my eyes at him. "Have you ever experienced a gun? Because I don't want you to end up shooting yourself in the foot-"

"My dad owns a shooting range in the country." Danny grins proudly, taking Jake and Emma by surprise.

"What?"

"How have you not told me about this?"

"Uh, because you guys never asked?" Danny shrugs, making Emma slap him on the shoulder. Nodding, I grab the bag that is beside my feet and dig through it, grabbing the pistol that I kept in there for special reasons.

"Now, I don't have another gun, but I do have a knife..." I say, glancing between Jake and Emma. Pausing, I shake my head, already knowing the answer to my own question. Grabbing the knife out, I hand it to Emma.

"You two are aware that you're probably going to kill someone tonight, right?" I ask and Danny nods. I look over at Emma and she looks at the pocket knife, nodding also. I smile and look over at Jake, resting my hands on both his cheeks.

"You're staying with me. I'll not let anyone touch or hurt you, okay?" I say and Jake nods slowly. I smile and kiss his lips, hoping that he knows I won't let anyone hurt him.

Turning back to the group, I clap my hands together. "There are two emergency exits on the sides of the building. William and Chris, you two are going to the left side. Lila and Johnny, you can go to the right side. There are only a few flights of stairs so don't groan," I say, narrowing my eyes at the twins.

"Now, on the second flight of stairs, there is a door where the cleaners keep their equipment. If you need to, use that room as a time to gather up a plan. Be quiet and don't be arguing about who goes first or who shoots first, okay?" I ask, looking at the twins again. William and Chris roll their eyes but nod, which makes me nod also.

When they begin to run off, I look at Emma and Danny. "You two have a choice. Do you want to stay together or split up?" I ask, watching as Emma immediately looks over at Danny. Suddenly, Danny grabs Emma's hand, making Jake and I grin.

"I'm going to ask about you two when this is over. But anyway, you two are going to switch the lights off from the electricity boxes when I give the signal. The signal will probably be a message through both of your phones so I suggest you don't have sex on the side of the building if you want to hear your phones go off." I say, earning Emma to blush and Danny choke on his saliva.

Smiling, I give the two a quick hug. "Watch your backs, okay?" I say and Emma and Danny nod. As the four of us begin to walk closer to the building, I grab onto Jake's hand while Emma grabs onto Danny's.

Hopefully this goes as planned.

A/N - Go on and guess how the ending is going to be...
