Louis stared at the clock on the wall for what seemed like hours. He had finally gotten a new lead.

Someone had called him and told him they saw the curly haired lad at a playground. They said he was on the swings laughing.

He was alone.

When Louis heard the phone ringing he just thought it was a spam caller but for some reason he answered anyways..

———-

"Ello?" Louis said gruffly. His voice was very rough and low since he hasn't gotten much sleep for well... two years.

"Hi yes is this Louis Tomlinson?" The woman on the other side asked. Louis seemed to notice that her voice was in a frantic state. It was as if she was in a hurry.

"This is he.. who's this?" Louis questioned once again. It was an ongoing thing in this call. The questions kept going back and forth.

"My name is Maria Simms, I think I found your fiancé." She stated. She, Maria, was talking horrendously fast. Louis was glad though.

"Ar- are you sure?" Louis asked. He had already gotten up from the sofa he was sitting on and put his vans on.

"Positive. Same curly hair and I think green eyes. He looks exactly like your fiancé Mr. Tomlinson." Maria exclaimed. Even she was excited to have found Harry.

Louis was tearing up.. for the first time in a while though they were happy tears.

"Thank you." Louis managed to choke out. Now he was in the car driving at the speed of lightning. He knew exactly which park the woman was talking about.

"I'll stay here and keep an eye on him until you get here! How far are you dear?" Maria asked. Louis looked around for a street sign to see where he was.

"Maybe three minutes. I'm almost ther-" Louis got cut off when he heard a scream come from the other end.

A womans scream.

"Maria?? MARIA?"

The line went de*d.

"FOR FUCKS SAKE!" Louis shouted as he turned on a red light. He didn't care if he got a ticket all he cared about was getting to Harry and finding out what happened to Maria.

A minute later he got to the playground. He rushed out of his car and ran to the playground.

He recognized it oh so well... because it was the same playground Harry kissed Louis in for the first time.

—————-

Now Louis was sitting in the hospital looking at the clock on the wall. There was so much noise in the room but for some reason Louis couldn't hear any of it.

Only the clock and his thoughts.

He found Maria on the floor tied to a tree. She seemed to be unconscious with tape covering her mouth.

There was no sign of Harry.

None.

He was gone and whatever tied Maria up took him with them.

He's been there for a few hours waiting for a doctor to come up to him and tell him Maria was okay.

So for now he was stuck in a room full of sick people with his thoughts filling up every inch of his head.
