"So what's the deal with this Liam?" Harry asked as he was riding with Zayn. They were currently on their way to see Liam to ask him a few questions. Honestly they were hoping that this all would be solved.

They stopped in front of a medium sized white house. Harry observed it and looked to Zayn. Zayn nodded to him and got out. Harry followed and they stopped in front of the red colored door. Zayn rang the door bell and the two waited.

Zayn stepped back a couple steps and looked around. He wondered what this Liam did as a living. It was a nice house and you couldn't buy it with a simplistic job.

Zayn rang the doorbell again and Harry furrowed his eyebrows. Something wasn't right. His attention snapped toward a rustle at the side of the house and he saw Liam hopping out of the window and beginning to run. "He's running." Harry said.

Zayn and him quickly began to chase after him. The two were behind him and Liam was trying everything to get away. Harry eventually caught up to him and tackled him. He put his hands behind Liam's back and smirked. "You obviously don't want to see us." He said.

Zayn eventually caught up and he stopped looking at the scene. Harry glanced back and smirked down at him.

Liam sat in the interrogation room and stared at the wall. Harry and Zayn stood in the viewing room and watched him. "Any reason why he ran? I mean I assume he has done something before to run like that." Harry said.

"He has done some minor crimes." He states. Harry nods and begins to head out. "Harry wait...maybe I should interrogate him?"

"What? Why?" He asked with a snap.

"Because I'm the actual detective and I can't have you asking personal things." Zayn said. Harry rolled his eyes and shrugged.

"Fine go ahead." Harry said. Zayn nodded to him before leaving. Harry watched as he entered the interrogation room.

Liam didn't even look to Zayn until Zayn sat across from Liam. "I didn't do anything." Liam said. Zayn looked to him with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh I know..." Zayn said as he pulled out his files. He pulled out the picture of the victim and slid it to Liam. "You know her?" He asked.

Liam looked to the picture for a second before he shook his head. "No." He said. Zayn chuckled a bit before he pulled out the picture with her and him.

"Now Liam...you and I both know that lying isn't gonna help you..." Zayn said. Liam glanced to the picture and then to Zayn.

"Why does this matter anyway." Liam asked.

"Because she's dead." Zayn said. That caused Liam to pale. He gulped and looked back to the picture.

"Who could've killed her...?"

"That's what we're trying to find out." Zayn said.

"Well I didn't do it if that's what you're implying..." He said. Zayn shook his head and folded his hands putting it on the table.

"I want you to prove it to me that you are innocent." Zayn said. Liam shrugged to him unsure what to say.

"I didn't do it and you gotta believe me." He said.

Zayn sighed at him "Excuses like that isn't gonna help you." He said. Liam sighed and became flustered.

"We weren't in contact recently and I've been seeing someone else." Liam said. Zayn gave him a look and before he was about to speak Harry came walking in. Zayn and Liam both looked over and Harry walked over.
