Caught Up // h.s + l.t

prologue

Harry's POV

I get out of the car, looking around. The others should be here by now. I guess I'll just have to do this one by myself.

I walk carefully into the mysterious building in front of me, almost instantly seeing what I'm supposed to be looking for; a safe.

I don't really know why someone would have such a seemingly important safe just sitting in plain sight in the wall. I guess they're relying on their code to keep it protected.

I try a few codes that I was given prior to coming here, apparently they're significant numbers.

After the fourth try the safe pops open and I grin with satisfaction when I see what I'm looking for.

Sealed inside a little glass box is a list of names. I have no clue what the importance of it is, I'm just doing as I'm told.

I jump at the loud noise, cursing to myself under my breath. Shit, why didn't they tell me there was an alarm?!

I groan, grabbing the box and holding it tightly in my hand as I sprint out of the building.

Just as I'm coming out, I see Zayn running up to me.

"Ah, would've been nice to have your help earlier" I raise an eyebrow at him.

"Sorry we're late, the stupid driver got us stuck in traffic. You'd think that someone who drives criminals around they'd know how to avoid tha-"

"No time, mate" I interrupt him, motioning to the scene behind me and showing him the small glass box in my hand. He nods and starts back towards our getaway car.

As we're running back towards the black car in which Liam has ready for us I see Louis, who wasn't long after Zayn.

He gives me an apologetic look, and I give him a soft smile back as if to tell him that it's okay, it wasn't his fault anyways.

I wait as Zayn and Louis get inside, checking if everyone is all good.

"Are you hurt?" Louis looks up at me, concern clear in his voice.

"I'm fine, Louis" I smile at him fondly.

He nods and smiles back at me, but as he looks over my shoulder his expression quickly changes to frantic.

"Harr-"

I quickly turn around, holding my gun up to face whatever it is Louis is so worried about behind me, but apparently I wasn't quick enough. The sound of gunfire is the last thing I hear before I black out.
