Before Harry left Zayn's flat, he make sure everything is in place. His medicine, foods, etc. He also informs Matt that he will go back to his place so someone can visit and look for Zayn while he is away.

Around 9 a.m., a black tented van is already waiting outside with his two escorts. Both are standing at the door. Zayn grabs his waist and kisses him for the last time.

"Call or text me, okay?" Zayn said slurping his lips and playing his tongue.

He giggles. "Alright, stop.." He pushed him gently. "I have to go.. Take your medicine on time, okay? And don't move too much.."

Zayn nodded with a wide smile on his face. " I will, babe.. Love you.."

"I love you too.."

================================

When he arrived at the mansion, his assistant handed him the black folder, containing the 2 days' reports that he was gone.

Where's Liam?" This is the first question he asked.

The man awkwardly averted his gaze at him. "He's upstairs sir.. One of the guess rooms.."

He didn't ask further. He already knows what's going on. Liam always ended up sleeping in different rooms when they are fighting. He went upstairs and went to the office room. His assistant called Liam as he requested. When Liam enters the room, he immediately saw the dark circle under his eyes and he looks tired. Aside from his swollen face and a few cuts, he looks totally drained.

"We're good. You can wait outside," He said to his assistant before he starts to talk to Liam.

"I know I shouldn't be asked you this but.. Is he mad at you?"

"He slams the door on my face and I'm sleeping in the guest room. What do you think?" He sneered, still entirely pissed.

He sigh. "I'm sorry that this happened; I never thought he will snap like that.."

He dragged his hand down to his face. "Will I guess, part of it is my fault.." Still revealing some irritation and sounded tired. ".. Anyway, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to stay with him until your wedding?"

"I was summoned by the council.."

Liam's demeanor abruptly shifted to solemnity. Leaning towards him while eyes firmly looking straight at him.

"Directly from the council? Why?"

"Markus wants me to report this afternoon regarding this matter.. From what I received in the email, someone is doing illegal trading guns inside New York.."

"Is this in our district?"

"Luckily, no. I lost Loyd already with that drug syndicate issues.. But it comes from Tony's area.."

Liam frowned. "Then why do they call you out? shouldn't it be Tony and not you? It has nothing to do with us.."

Harry stood up and grab a smoke. "That's also what I'm thinking.. But the orders are coming from the council.. Not from Markus and Tony has also been summoned."
