Safe

Chapter Nine

*Next Morning. Still Harry's POV*

I woke up to the sun shining in my face. I looked over, and Liz was still next to me, heavily asleep. I decided to get up and make her coffee and breakfast. I successfully got up without waking her.

When I reached the kitchen, my phone began to buzz. I rolled my eyes, unwillingly answering.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Haz. It's Paul. You and Liz need to leave town. Now."

"What? Why?"

"We went to check on Dan this morning, and he was gone. We can't find him. He could be anywhere, and I'll bet he's coming after you and Liz."

"Oh. How could you let him get away?!"

I yelled angrily into the phone.

"I don't know. I think he had an insider who helped him. I think it was Ethan. He's gone too."

"If either one of them comes anywhere close to Liz or I, I'll kill them. Thanks Paul. See ya."

And with that I hung up the phone. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. I knew I shouldn't have left. I should've stayed and killed Dan myself.

I was thinking about where Liz and I were gonna go, until I was broken from my daze by the sound of footsteps behind me. I turned around to see Liz looking at me with terrified eyes. She must have heard the whole conversation.

"Harry?"

She said, worry filling her voice.

"Yeah, babe?"

I said, taking a step closer to her.

"What's going to happen?"

Then, I knew she had heard the whole conversation between me and Dan. I knew what she meant. She was terrified.

"We're going to get out of here. Come on, we need to pack."

I said, taking her hand and leading her up the stairs. When we reached my room, I pulled out two suitcases, one for each if us. I laid them on the bed opened, and started piling clothes into one. I looked up to find her just standing there, not doing anything.

"What are you doing, Liz? We need to pack."

"I don't have any clothes to pack Harry."

Oh. Right. I forgot.

"That's ok, we'll buy you more."

I said as I went to get the briefcase from its hiding place.

I finished packing, and turned to Liz who was dressed and ready now. So was I.

"Ready?"

I said, pulling my car keys from my pocket.

"Ready as I'll ever be."

She mumbled under her breath.

"Look, babe. I know you don't want to go. I know this is hard for you. I know you're scared. But you'll just be in more danger if we stay here. Plus, I'll be by your side every minute. I won't let anything happen to you. Ok babe? You can trust me."

I said, as I pulled her closer to me and wrapped my arms around her waist. I looked down at her as she looked up at me.

"Ok. Let's do this."

She said confidently. I smiled, and kissed her.

"That's my girl."
