Chapter 47 Luka's POV

"Hey H. What's up?"

I bring the phone to my ear after answering the call and shuffle down to Jacks level, putting my arm back around his shoulders.

We're sitting together on the couch watching a new episode of love Island. I hate the show, but Jack loves the amount of bullshit drama it spits out through the TV.

"Can you meet us back at mine in about an hour?" Harry sounds neutral.

"Wow, not even a hello? That hurts Harold" I taunt him shaking my head humorously even though I know he can't see me.

"Yeah hi. So can you or not?" he spits out a little aggravated this time, keeping his sentences short and to the point.

"Yeah I can. Everything good man?" I know he can get a little straight forward when he wants to be, but most of the time there is an underlying reason for his short temper. I think he forgets that I've known him since we were teenagers.

I hear him sigh through the phone before he mutters out an answer, "I'll explain later. Not sure if my phones been bugged or not."

Bugged? What the fuck?

"Harry, what do you mean bugged? Why do you think that?" I sit up on the couch wary now. I feel Jack do the same next to me but I'm too focused on what Harry's about to say to do anything about it.

"I'll explain later" he repeats, not giving me anymore information.

Jack pauses the show and leans in closer to my ear, trying to get in on the conversation.

Jack knows what I do, he's fine with it... just not necessarily the killing aspect. I've mentioned before that we have a special connection, and trust is one of the major values that keeps our relationship strong and healthy, so instead of making him lean in to hear the conversation I pull the phone away from my ear and press the speaker button as I silently gesture to Jack to keep quiet.

If Harry's phone has been bugged, then I don't want whoever has hacked it to think Jack has any involvement in what we do, so I don't tell him that he's on speaker phone now.

"Mate do you want me to get your glasses from my room and bring them over?" I use our code word asking discreetly if he and Isabel are both fine. I've grown to like Isabel just the tiniest bit, don't tell her that though. I have a feeling she's got a big head, not as big as Harry's but he's impossible to compare to.

"It's fine" he answers easily, again keeping his response brief.

Harry came up with the code word. I don't really know the meaning behind it if there even is a meaning, but we've only had to use it a couple of times.
