Niall's Pov:

I can see in Zayn's eyes, I can see every emotion washing over his body, I can see his fear. He won't say it out loud, He won't admit it but he's afraid of what's to come. He's clinging to a little bit of hope but it's not much, Deep down he knows this mission could take my life, I know it too. Were both stepping around the conversation, Neither of us allowing the other to lose hope, I've tried to explain things to Zayn, That I might not survive this but he just cuts me off and tells me not to think like that, But it's the only way I can think, I know the harsh reality of this job, I know there is always a chance I could die, And it's never scared me, I've never been the kind of person to fear death, I've gone into my missions knowing what the risks are and not being afraid of them but this time it's different, Before I didn't have Zayn, I'm still not afraid to die, I'm not afraid of pain, What I'm afraid of is leaving Zayn alone in this cold world, I'm afraid of knowing he's scared and I can't do anything to protect him, I hate knowing that he'll suffer when I'm gone, I've asked Louis to take care of him if anything does happen and I know he'll do it, My worst fear isin't death, My worst fear is watching over Zayn as he grieves for me. 

"So let me get this straight your Zayn's bodyguard who's protecting him from a physco killer that wants him dead?" Harry stated, We think Zayn's stalkers going to strike at the award ceremony, Which means all the people around Zayn are in danger including Harry and Liam which is why they've had to be told what's going on.

"Correct" Louis said.

"Why are you just telling us this now?" Liam asked.

"Because we believe this guy will target Zayn at the awards, It's a huge crowd which means it's easier for him to slip in and out fast, Through the mist of people frantically running around it would be near enough impossible to catch the guy, He knows this, You and Harry are sitting next to Zayn at the awards I'm not saying he'll target you but it's a possibility" I explained.

"Is this the same guy who let off a gun shot in the club?" Liam questioned, I nodded my head.

"So you mean to tell us that we could end up getting shot!" Harry exclaimed as his eyes widened, Fear was washing over them.

"That won't happen, Niall and I are here to protect you guys but you have to listen to everything we say, If we tell you to run you run, If we tell you to get down you get down, This isin't a game, This is real and that gun at the club wasn't a paint gun, This guy isin't messing around so you have to do everything we say, Can you do that?" Louis stated as he placed his hand on a fearful Harry's shoulder, Harry nodded frantically. 

Hours later Zayn was due at the studio to start rehearsal for his performance, Louis and I were given a copy of the stage set out so we could plan how were were going to protect Zayn while he's on stage, We looked over the plans carefully deciding how we were going to do this. 

"I want security stationed all around the stage and on the floor, I want people above the stage and you and I will be back stage the moment we think somethings funny we pull Zayn away" I stated, Louis nodded his head in agreement.

"We can give Zayn a buzzer so if he thinks somethings not right he can push it and we'll get him out" Louis added, I nodded. 

"I want a few members of security under the stage to we need to make sure nothings going off under there" I said.

"I'll contact Cher get every available agent on the case, Liam and Harry are going to drive to the awards with Zayn, I'll cover Harry and Paul will cover Li while you cover Zayn" Louis replied, I nodded my head in agreement as I watched Zayn walk off the stage, I slowly made my way over to him. 

"We need to speak with the staff and security here make sure everythings tight and everyone knows who there looking out for" I stated, Zayn nodded his head. "Stay with Paul, Harry and Liam in the changing room I'll be back for you as fast as I can" I added, Zayn nodded once again before laying his head on my shoulder, I sighed as I wrapped my arms around him.

"Nothing will happen to you I promise" I whispered into his ear.

"It's not just me I'm afraid for" He mumbled as he held onto me tighter, I bit my lip as I reassuringly rubbed his back.

"Take this, If things get to creepy or your not sure of something and were not back press this and our beeper will go off" Louis stated, Zayn lifted his head before taking hold of the small device, Just then Paul walked over.

"Guard him with your life" I warned, Paul nodded his head before signaling for Zayn to follow him, I placed a gentle kiss to Zayn's neck before watching as he made his way over to Paul, Paul then placed his arm around Zayn's shoulder before leaving the room with him, I sighed before signaling for Louis to follow after me. 

"All exits that can be locked should be locked, I want extra people around the fire exists for obvious reasons they can't be locked at all" I stated to a member of staff, He nodded his head before writing my instructions down on a piece of paper. "And everyone needs a copy of this picture this is the guy were looking for and he's dangerous so if anybody spots him you guys leave the confrontation to either myself or a member of my team" I added, The man nodded before taking a look at the picture he raised his eyebrow before shaking his head.

"What?" Louis questioned, The man was about to speak before the buzzer began going off, In that instant Louis and I took off in a sprint down the hall, My heart was pounding in my chest as I bolted down the stairs and down another corridor just then the sound of a gunshot sounded in my ears. "Oh fuck no!" Louis stated.

"Zayn!" I yelled before speeding up my pace, We ran all the way down to the changing rooms, Paul was laid out on the floor blood pouring from his arm, A fearful looking Liam was beside him, Louis quickly ran into the changing room gun in hand. 

"H-H-h-g-g-gg-oo-"

"It's alright, I know" I exclaimed as I examined the wound, The bullet had punctured his shoulder. "He'll be fine, Where's Zayn?" I questioned, Liam looked up at me with broken eyes.

"Niall!" Louis yelled from inside the changing rooms, I quickly stood up before running inside, A scared looking Harry was sat in the corner tightly wrapped up in Louis embrace. 

"Where's Zayn? Harry! Where's Zayn!" I yelled as panic washed over me. 

"H-He-took him" Harry cried out, My eyes widened, I shook my head before moving towards the door anger rising inside of me, Before I even had the chance to exit the room Louis arms were around me holding me back.

"Let me go! Get your fucking hands off me! Zayn! I promised him I fucking promised him!" I yelled as tears slid down my face, Louis held onto me tighter. 

"Our teams all around the building Niall wherever he's been taken we'll find him! We'll find him Niall!" Louis assured me, More tears fell from my eyes as screams of Zayn's name echoed off the walls around me, I have to find him.
