Payback. Sequel To TMHJ

Chapter two

When I first started writing this story, I had no idea where I wanted to go with it. Now I have worked it out and I am super excited about it. I am halfway through chapter four now, and will probably start chapter five before bed tonight. Without further ado, chapter two.

Niall was panicking. When he was finished being manhandled, he was lying on his stomach, hands tied behind his back, ankles tied to his thighs, keeping his legs bent and useless, and tape over his mouth. A knee was resting on his back side, so he couldn't flip himself to view who had taken him. He couldn't help the tears that were making their way down his cheeks. He was scared and wanted Louis, now more than ever.

-------------------------------

When X-Factor finally finished, Louis looked around. "Did Niall come home, yet?" he asked Harry.

"I don't think so," Harry said, looking up from his phone.

Louis pulled his own phone out and called Niall. "Straight to voice mail. That's odd."

"Maybe traffic is bad and his phone died. Just wait it out. I am sure he's just around the corner."

"Okay," Louis said, feeling nervous and he wasn't sure why.

-----------------------------

Eventually the van came to a stop and the engine was killed. Niall's struggles started again, knowing he was about to be moved. Suddenly his vision turned to darkness, as he was blindfolded. His struggles turned even more desperate, thrashing around wildly.

"Someone help me grab this kid. He is struggling too much." a voice said.

"Can't even handle a little boy?" another voice asked. "What will the boss think?"

"The boss only cares we get him inside, unharmed. He doesn't care how many of us it takes."

"Whatever. You get his legs, I'll get his head. On the count of three. One, two, three." Suddenly, no matter how much Niall struggled, he was easily lifted from the ground and taken out of the van. He felt the blindfold was already soaked from his tears, that were still falling uncontrollably.

He felt like he was being carried for ages, but it was really only a minute or two. Eventually they put him down on the concrete floor and he was left there. He was shaking with fear, and also because the floor was cold. He wanted Louis. He wanted Louis to hug him and never let go. Why did he go out to get dessert? They have ice cream at home. All that didn't matter now. Now he had to just wait until he could escape and run home. He hoped it would be soon.

------------------------------------

"Hello?" Liam asked, through the phone.

"Hi, Li, have you seen or heard from Niall?" Louis asked, panicked.

"No," Liam replied, getting worried himself. "Why? What happened?"

"Niall left two hours ago to get dessert for the three of us and he hasn't returned. I am worried."

"Just sit tight, Lou. I'll get Zayn and we'll come over. We'll find him, Lou."

Louis nodded, even though he knew Liam couldn't see it. "Thanks, Liam."

They hung up and Liam raced to his car keys. He gave Zayn a call as he was rushing out the door.

"Z! Are you home?" Liam asked, before Zayn had a chance to say anything.

"Ahh, yeah, why? What's wrong?"

"Niall's missing. I'm coming to get you, then we're heading to his, Lou's and Haz's flat."

"Okay, I'll chuck some shoes on, but Liam, please drive carefully. I know how freaked out you would be, but we're better following the speed limit, than not making it there, at all."

"I know, Z. I'll see you soon."

Liam hung up before Zayn had a chance to reply. He started the car up and followed the speed limit all the way to Zayn's, before doing the same to Niall's.

"So, tell me what you know," Zayn said when the two were in the car.

"All I know is that Niall is missing. He went two hours ago to get dessert for the three of them and didn't come home."

"Hey! Isn't that Niall's car?" Zayn asked as they drove past McDonalds.

Liam turned into the car park and parked next to Niall's car. "It is," Liam agreed and got out. He looked it over while Zayn went inside.

"Hey! You're another dude from One Direction," the guy at the counter said, grinning. "Dude. I saw what your friends did, and like I said to the blond irish dude, they were brave!"

"So Niall was here? When did he leave?"

"About two hours ago."

"Thanks," Zayn said, running out of the restaurant. He ran straight to Liam. "Niall left here two hours ago."

"But why is his car here?" Liam asked. He pulled his phone out and dialled Louis.

"Hello?" Louis asked, when he answered.

"Niall's car is at McDonalds, but they told Zayn he left two hours ago."

"We're on our way."

------------------------------

"Well, well, well," a voice said. Niall tensed up when he realised who it was. "What do we have here?"

Suddenly the blindfold was ripped from Niall's eyes, and he was blinded by the light. Eventually he adjusted and saw who he knew it was. Simon.

"Boys. Tie him to the chair and then get out of here."

Niall was tied to the chair, his arms behind the backrest and his legs tied to each of the front chair legs.

"Now, keep quiet and I can take the tape off, okay?" Simon asked Niall. Niall nodded. Simon ripped the tape from Niall's face and the boy screamed in pain. "I said be quiet," Simon scolded. Niall whimpered, but didn't say anything. "Good boy. Now, where is your phone?" he asked as he went in and reached under Niall's bum, looking for his phone. Niall sat deeper in the chair, not letting Simon at his phone. Simon slapped Niall, hard across the face.

Niall cried out and let Simon get at his phone. "Thank you," he said as he pulled it out of Niall's back pocket. "What's your password, Niall?"

"1991," Niall said and looked down.

"Lou's birth year. I see, I see." He pressed a button. "Aww, how cute are you guys?" he asked and showed Niall his background. Niall looked away, wanting to be back in Lou's arms. Simon did something on his phone. "Now, we're going to record something to send to little Lou-Bear. I want you to tell him that you're fine, that you want him, and the other three boys to meet you in an abandoned warehouse on the edge of town. Tell him if police are there, he won't be happy with what happens. Do you think you can do that, Nialler?"

Niall shook his head. He didn't want to have anything to do with whatever plan Simon had. Of course, he did have something to do with it, since he was kidnapped.

"Are you sure?" Simon asked as he stomped down on Niall's toes. Niall screamed in pain when he felt his toes crush beneath the man's shoes. Now Niall wished they had stayed in the closet and were still part of Syco records. He wouldn't be in this position.
