Although Harry appeared to have been on Zayn's side and completely against the idea of killing him when he discovered what he could provide for him, it never meant that he couldn't always change his mind as he saw fit. He could always do that. In fact, he's doing it right now.

He doesn't know Zayn well enough to fully trust him. After all, why should he fully trust him? Zayn tried to kill him. He was going to cuff him to a Patton Motel bed, have sex with him, stab him in the heart, and then leave him for dead. That was his plan. And he would not have had any remorse.

Come to think about it though, Zayn just might be more evil than he himself is. Yes, Harry does strangle his victims and cause them to suffer for twenty to thirty seconds. But from the moment he meets them, he never gives them a false hope of fun and pleasure. He tells them why they are there, what he plans to do with them, and then he kills them.

Zayn on the other hand is very clever and manipulative. He promises good sex and secret affairs. His victims never know what's coming until he's getting the knife, bringing it down, and plunging it into their hearts. They die not knowing he had dubbed them predators. So really, they never know what they did wrong.

So the fact that Zayn finds it so easy to be that type of person makes Harry believe even more that he could do him just the same. The second he realizes he has Harry "cuffed" so to speak, he'll "stab him in the heart." In other words, he'll turn him over to the feds in a heartbeat. And that, simply, is why he must die.

Harry races back home and picks up his gun. He also gets dressed in his business casual attire for work because as much as he would like to relax after a kill, he can't really do that today. He has to be at the brokerage firm for work. Once he has what he needs, he speeds off in his Corolla to Zayn's house.

He arrives in the driveway and parks. Since he already already knows Zayn's work schedule from all the times he's stalked him, he knows he's up, dressed and likely waiting for a car to pick him up and take him to work. Sure enough he is because he comes outside to the car and to the driver's side window. The outside corner of his left eye is red from where the latch piece came up and hit him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to pick you up."

"Pick me up for what?"

"Work."

"I don't need you to pick me up. I have a car coming to do that already."

"Yeah but I have some important information about what we did and I need you come with me so we can talk about it."

Zayn scoffs.

"Harry, I swear if you're looking to kill again, it's too soon. And it's early in the morning. Who could you possibly be going after?"

"No one new."

"Then what's the gun in the front seat for?"

Harry looks over at at it, picks it up and moves it into his lap.

"I take it everywhere I go. Just in case. But I swear I'm not here to use you to get another victim. I have to be at work in forty minutes and that's where I intend to be. Get in."

Zayn rolls his eyes.

"Okay. Fine. But you better take me to work and you can tell me on the way there."

"Sure."

"Let me go get my stuff."

Zayn gets his things for work then comes back out to the car. Harry backs out of the driveway and begins to drive.

"So what do you want to talk about?"

"You really messed up."

"What?"
