Chapter 2

TW // i talk shortly about pedophilia

Two days passed by really quickly, and Louis was outside Niall's office, ready to give him his answer. He walked inside, closing the glass door behind him, and Niall was writing something on his laptop. He lifted his head and looked at Louis.

"Good morning Tomlinson"
Louis moved the chair on the other side of the table and sat down. "Horan"
"Have you decided what to do?"
"Yes I did, but first I would like to know something" Niall nodded, and Louis continued.

"I want to know why you said Telsys is dangerous...I get it he is a killer and everything, but you know I'm the best in town"

Niall looked a bit disappointed, or maybe surprised, but he answered anyway.
"I don't know if you remember, but four months ago you were hired to kill a man, Richard" Louis remembered him, of course he did. He was a thirty-four years old lawyer, but he was also a pedophile. In his phone he had hundreds of chats with minors, with pictures and videos he asked them to send.

"I do, yeah. What about him?" He didn't understand why Niall was talking about him.

"Well, he was Telsys step-brother" Oh. Now he understood.

"We are afraid Telsys could be tracking you down for revenge" Niall opened a drawer from his desk, taking out a slim folder. He passed it to Louis, opening the first page.

There was a picture, Richard with another young man. Probably Telsys. He had long hair touching his shoulders, a pair of black glasses, a hat on his head, and a drink in his mouth. He wore a white shirt, with only the last three buttons closed - all of his chest was showing -, he had a bunch of tattoos on his skin. The bigger one was a butterfly under his chest, and two birds over his collarbones.

"We can't let that happen, so you have to anticipate him" Louis looked at Niall, he was calm with his eyes closed, opening them when he felt Louis watching him.
"How do I find him?" He closed the folder and put his hands over it.

"All the informations we have, are in those documents. Everything else, you'll have to find out. Unfortunately, he is very good at disappearing from the radars" Louis nodded, taking a bottle of water with his right hand, and pouring some into a glass. He took two big sips, sighing loudly when he finished.

"I'll do it"

Niall smiled, a big grin appearing on his pale face.

"Welcome back, Louis"

When he got home, after having lunch at the park near the company with a salad, he went to his room. He undressed very quickly, putting his clothes on a chair near his closet, and put on his sweatpants with a t-shirt. He was really tired, given the fact that the past few days he hadn't slept very well, and he had a horrible headache. He walked slowly towards his living room, illuminated only by the natural light coming in from the big windows on the wall, and he sat down to his soft and comfy couch, putting a pink pillow under his head and another on his stomach. He had the folder in his hand, looking at it with tired eyes, and he started reading.

Edward Telsys, 22 years old , Richard Styles' step-brother.

Education: studied at Oxford University.
Status: unknown.
Residence: unknown.
Paediatrician at St. Lucy's Hospital.

In Richard's phone there wasn't any numer under the name "Edward". He talked a lot with "Harry", and the last person he wrote to was "Liv".

In Richard's phone there was only one picture with Edward.

Louis found himself closing his eyes while still holding the folder, so he decided to call it a night and go to sleep. He got up from the couch, leaving the documents on it, and slowly went to his bedroom. He wasn't afraid of the dark, but he liked to turn on the dim lights that were all around his room - fairy lights. He found them childish, and maybe it was weird to have them since he...you know...killed people. But he liked them too much.
