Louis' POV

Anger rose in my body as I madly marched out of my car after slamming the door hard. I crunched the piece of paper in my hand as I clenched my teeth together. "This is not happening." I said repeatedly to myself as I fast walked up the small porch steps. I opened the door roughly, causing it to slam into the wall next to it. Four pairs of eyes landed on me as I walked in on a conversation. Everyone stopped talking as they all stared at me confused. I was breathing heavily as I slowly stared at each and everyone of my friends.

"What's wrong Lou?" Liam asked with his large hand on his lap. All the boys sat on different chairs as I remained standing still. "This! This is what's wrong. This can't be freaking happening!" I said, yelling the last part. The boys knitted their eyebrows together as I began to madly shake the paper in my balled fist. "Let me take a look." Liam said as he stood up and walked over to me, causing the chain in his pocket to rattle against his grey jeans.

He gently took the paper from my hands and held them in his own. Typical Liam. His eyes scanned the piece of paper intensely as he kept his lips partly open. "What?! This- this doesn't make any sense! We're perfectly fine! We don't need another person to be in our gang! We are enough, we got classified as one of the strongest gangs in the world! They can't kick us out of this journey that we signed up for! We worked our asses off to be as far as we are! We're suppose to win not get kicked out!" Liam rambled in an upset and frustrated tone.

"What's wrong?" Harry spoke as he nodded his head up. "It's the Jacks, they're telling us that if we can't find another gang member in 3 days, we're out of the tournament and we're going to be found by the police." I hissed.

"What!" Niall, Zayn, and Harry all yelled at the same time. "What do you mean?! Found by the police?" Niall spat in disbelief. "Whoever is kicked out of the gang, the other members will ditch them and leave tracks for the police to find. So basically they're threatening us to find someone because they know we don't want to go to jail again." Liam said, never keeping his eyes off the paper.

"Let me see that." Harry hissed as he stood up and marched towards us before snatching the paper right out of Liam's hands. Typical Harry, the rough one. I looked over at Harry with my hands on my hips as Liam continued to stare at the paper. Harry's eyes filled with anger as he read the bold letters on the paper:

To Louis Tomlinson, Head-leader of the "Dark Riot" Gang.
This is a warning telling you that you have 3 days to find a new member for your gang. In order to qualify for this journey of the Gangs, you must have a new member. If you don't succeed, and if you can't find someone, then you will be disqualified and no longer attempt to participate in the fight.
We will also leave you in the dust with finger prints so that the cops may find you. We do want you to attend this invite Louis. Don't disappoint me. Your gang is very strong and who knows, maybe you could win. If you find that one person. This special person must be smart,strong, clever,quick, invincible, and of course... Evil. Good luck to you Tommo. You did a great job finding these boys, so you can do a better one finding the next perfect person.
*this person has to be a girl*
-The Jacks

"A girl?!" Harry yelled, causing me to jump. "A girl? What are you talking about?" I mumbled as I walked towards him and leaned in. "Right here at the bottom, in small print it says 'this person has to be a girl.'" Harry said as he pointed at it.

"What the hell, I didn't see that." I said in confusion as I grabbed it from Harry. "Me neither." Liam mumbled. "A girl? How are we gonna find a badass girl like that?" Niall asked as he stood up.

"I don't know." I frowned as I looked at the wall. I don't know any girl! I don't know anyone who is just as good as the five of us!

"Why the hell do they want a girl?" Harry questioned while narrowing his eyebrows. "Probably to throw us off, make it more challenging. After all, it's the last war of the gangs." I spoke bitterly as I started to think of all the possible ways that this could go wrong. A girl. A freaking girl. Out of all things it had to be putting a girl in our damn gang. And to actually be a part of it?! To know our whole lives and everything about us. With gangs comes trust. How can we trust someone in three f***ing days?!
