"this is adrian."

"adrian, it's harry."

"hey, man, what can i do you for?"

harry sighs as he paces the living room with a hand raking through his hair. "louis' car got vandalized friday night. there was a baseball bat in the car that had something along the lines of 'monty' written on it. lou said some people in your clique or family called mylo that?"

"dios mio," a groan comes from the other line. "fuck. yeah. only a few, though. mylo had a little brother and sister that called him monty and some of the girls here did too."

"thank you for confirming that. we're just trying to figure out what the hell is going on...i dunno if lou told you but he got shot earlier last month and we still haven't figured out the means behind all of that, his best friend thinks this is a possible link to it."

"harry, i am going to be very straightforward with you. my boys are to tell me their locations at all times. they are not allowed to step foot out of this state unless i have granted them permission to for safety purposes. cali is quite the ride."

"and i understand that. i'm just stumped as to why someone would put mylo's name out there when targeting louis."

"me too. would you like for me to come down there?"

"i don't know how my boss would feel about it, honestly, 'cause of my rap with mylo. he might deem you as a threat."

"fair enough. i can see what i can find up here and let you know if anything seems like a connection."

"i would appreciate that so much. thank you, adrian, really."

"anything for louis."

harry twirls a set of keys around his index finger as he leans against the car that they got for louis earlier that morning.

as promised, mitch got one ready for him in no time. harry was to make sure it got to the apartment as soon as possible. he drove it, it runs nice and everything works just as it should, and he even got some stuff to decorate it with. he got louis a matching steering wheel and seat cover set, some decals to put on the back window and threw one of his extra necklaces around the rearview mirror to give it some decoration. if louis wants to decorate it some more, so be it.

the security system on the car is completely maxed out. the three of them came to an agreement that louis should put extra security on his car just in case (knock on wood it doesn't) something ever happened again. there's not only a passcode on the door in case louis loses his key fob, but there's a fingerprint detector on the driver's handle that will only unlock the door if permitted prints are scanned. the dealership got harry's fingerprint in and showed him how to set it up so louis' would be in as well. it's a newer model silver lexus es350 and louis has yet to see what it looks like.

and since harry's planning on taking louis out for the night, now he gets to.

louis steps out of the apartment, locking the door and his jaw drops when he spots the vehicle. "you've got to be kidding me."

harry smirks and throws him the keys. "it's all yours, baby love."

"but," louis whined as he takes a look at the vehicle. it's too nice. it's beautiful, but what the fuck. "i could have just kept driving yours. you don't need all of them, you know."
