Your Batman (In English)

Chapter 3 : Alone against two

I came back to the hotel. I had managed to avoid some paparazzis who blocked the main entrance, via the back of the building. I sneaked on the landing, discreetly. I opened the handle and closed it slowly. Louis was surely sleeping and we had the room for two.The light was put out. I take my coat off as well as my shoes to put it on the ground, next to my bed. I was going to lay down on my bed when i stubbed my toe on it.

Me : Arg...Shit...

I heared sniggers. So Louis wasn't sleeping.

« Thanks very much Tommo. I apreciate that you care about me. »

I went into my sheets and heard whispers.

« Louis ? »

??? : Almost. In the feminine.

- Eleanor ? I asked, smiling with all my teeths.

- Well done, Payne !

- Happy to see you, beauty ! Well, to see you...figure of speach.

Louis : Don't move. You'll hurt yourself again.

Them : Haha !

Me : Ah...Real kids...

Him : Did you found something ?

- How do you know that i...

- I'm not bloody stupid.

Her : Watch your language, Tomlinson.

- Sorry, princess. I'm not idiot.

Me : Nothing. She has definitly disapeard.

- Don't worry, Liam, we'll find her.

- Yep, i answered, pretending to believe it.

« Good night, the supercouple » i said, turning around on the side of the wall.

The next day...

I woke up at 10am. No, i hadn't slept well, if you think so. I had thought all night of Maissa. I quickly dressed, having seen the hour, and went out in the corridor. I saw Paul, our bodyguard stiring in front of the boys.

Me : Hey, everyone ! How are you ?

Harry : Fine. You ?

Paul : Have you seen Niall ?

Me : No, i just woke up. Why ?

Zayn : We're looking fo him. It seems he just went into the air.

- What ? Are you serious ?

Louis : He called you, yesterday, right ?

- Yes, but i couldn't answered.

- So, after that, he asked us where you were. I said that you had just gone. I added that you were surely going near the street where the girl has been kidnapped. I think he followed you. We have no news from him and he doesn't answer at his phone.

- Why didn't you tell me ?

- I believed you were together ! How would i know that you weren't ?!

Harry : He probably just got lost. Zayn gave him a black look. I'd normaly laughed so hard.

- What ? He already lost in a commercial center.

- It's not a funking joke ! Niall has diseappered ! We turned the head to Paul but he wasn't in the same place anymore. A little farther, we perceived him pushing away two girls.

One of the girls : Niall has disapeared ?!

Louis : Where were you precisly ?

My head revolved towards him. I thank for few seconds and deducted one thing. If he had followed me, he would get troubles.

Me : I think i know where he is, i said, heading for the exit.

At that moment, i hated myself not having answered him.

It's maybe the reason why the men didn't catch me. They probably found him instead of me. No, i'm worrying about nothing. He certainly realized on the first floor that I wasn't in the Starbuck and he left. Maybe, he got drunk there, i don't know...Let's hope he didn't come to the basement...Did i close the door of the underground ?

I went on the scene. There was only one car parked. I searched the first level, as well as the second and the third. I was even more anguished. The fact of not knowing where he was was worse. I wasn't walking carefully anymore, but running frightened. I was afraid of not finding him. And it is plunged into these thoughts that I perceived Niall, stretched on the ground. I rushed to him.

« Niall ?! »

I shook him.

« Niall ?! »

Him : Slowly, Liam...My head hurts...

- Come on, what are you doing here ?!

- I...I think i followed you...What time is it ? I noticed there was some blood on his forehead.

- What's that ?

It made me understand that the men of the day before had crossed him. Somebody had knocked him out.

Because of me. Why did i come here... ?

??? : We were sure you weren't alone. I reconized the guys who had pursued me the eve.

??? : It's him ! The one who has escaped us yeasterday !

??? : I know, no need to shout ! That's the reason why we kept the other, remember.

Me : Niall, there're staircases which lead until the outside. On the count of three, you take it, i whispered in taking advantage that they were far.

Niall : And you ? He whispered in his turn, getting up.

- 1...2... I collected an iron bar which I had just seen on the ground. They got closer.

One of them : Hey ! What are you doing with that ?! You think being stronger, now ?! Don't be stupid, kid ! He exclaimed aproximately four meters of us.

- 3.

Niall followed my instructions and I blocked the road to the one who wanted to chase him. I was now alone against two.
