Dépaysement (h.s)

86

No Perspective

The boys and Jade gather in the room watching Delilah through the glass, she's tracing something on the metal table with her finger—looking bored.

"Who do you think she meant?" Zayn's arms are crossed, so many endless options clouding his mind.

"Could it be Enzo? If he knows where she is then someone has to let Harry know." Niall chimes in with urgency.

Louis sighs. "Sure, or she could be bluffing and just saying 'people are coming' to scare us."

"We can't just assume that nobody is coming. If she's right, we have to be prepared. What if they use some sort of tracking devices, did anyone search her?" Niall questions.

Zayn and Louis put their hands up in the air, "Not it." They take a step back.

Jade rolls her eyes, "For Christ's sake I'll search her. What should I look for?"

Niall grabs her arm, "No way, last time you were in there she attacked you. Not happening."

"What then? You think Harry would be okay with any of you touching her?" Jade's eyebrows furrow.

Niall's lips purse, weighing his options. "Okay, look for anything connected to a wire. She could have a bug attached to her. Feel around her waist, legs and chest."

Just as Jade goes to open the door to search Delilah, they hear loud footsteps above them.

Everyone stops in their tracks, eyes glued to the ceiling.

"Harry maybe?" Niall whispers.

"What if it's them?!" Jades whispers loudly.

"Who?" Zayn's eyes narrow.

"The people!" She points to Delilah referring to what she said moments prior.

They all back up, standing near the door of the room Delilah is in. All three of the boys pull out their guns, aiming it at the door that leads to the hallway outside. The footsteps are getting closer to them, they can't make out the weight of the person or the kind of shoe—it's too muffled.

Niall takes a deep breath in anticipation, sweat drips down Jade's forehead, Louis chews on the skin on his lip, Zayn stands still with his finger on the trigger ready to shoot.

The door swings open—just as they all get ready to press their fingers down, they freeze.

It's Harry. His eyebrows furrow at the sight of three guns being aimed at his head. "Hi?" He hesitantly speaks.

Jade sighs, "Oh thank god."

They drop their weapons simultaneously, "What the hell took so long man?" Louis presses.

Harry purses his lips, "I ran into a bit of trouble, all good now.."

Zayn narrows his eyes at Harry. They all knew Harry was at the house Enzo and Delilah were living in, but no one knows exactly what he was doing there. Zayn can read on Harry's face that something happened but decided to keep quiet.

"Well we need to do something as soon as possible. I hate it say it but she's pretty much a lost cause." Niall states.

The boys and Jade fill Harry in on every tactic they have tried on Delilah, it's been two hours of them being here and nothing has worked.

They also mention what Delilah said. Harry immediately knows she's bluffing and denies searching her for a bug considering no one knows about this place—and anyone that does doesn't even know their way around besides them—mainly just Louis considering only he has actually done jobs before.
