Smooth Criminal [Niam/Larry]

Chapter 3:Nightwing

~Niall~

Last night couldn't of gone any better. I was able to get Liam Payne's finger prints. Now all I had to do was meet up with Ed at this small bar on the rough side of town tonight.

Of course I'm not an idiot so I brought along my date from last night, Senator Jackson. He's completely in love with me, but the only reason I brought him was for an exit plan. I don't have the same feelings for him nor did anything with him last night. The only guy on my mind is the Batman, but now's not the time.

I also brought along this girl named Katie. She was sort of going through some of the things I went through. Katie is a small thief but she always gets herself into trouble when she takes from somebody she can't get away from. The only difference is she's not doing any jobs that would put 'master jewel thief' on her record.

"Just wait out here," I ordered Katie as we arrived at the small bar. She did what I said without question and I headed up the steps with the drunkin' senator around my arm. I opened the door of the bar and we both went inside. The first thing I noticed was two guys in black suits by the exit and the guy in a gray suit sitting at a table. "Just wait here handsome." I let go of Senator Jackson and sat his drunk ass on a stool near the counter.

I walked over to the guy in the gray suit and took the seat in front of him so our faces met. "You brought a date?" Ed asked, looking over at Senator Jackson.

"I like having someone around to open doors for me," I answered with a calm tone. "Are you here to ask about my life or are we going to get back to business?" I slipped my hand into the pocket of my black coat and took out a small brown envelope. I placed it in the middle of the table. Ed reached for the small brown envelope and opened it. He looked at the slip with Liam's finger prints and grinned devilishly before putting the slip back inside. "Now it's time for your part of the deal."

Ed raised his hand and motioned for one of the guys with black suits to come to him. I closed my eyes letting out a sigh as the guy in the black suit took out a gun and pointed it at my head. I opened my eyes and Ed too was holding a gun, "I know who you are Niall Horan." I held my calm expression but on the inside I was shocked that he would even recognize my face or look me up.

"You should learn how to count," I explained whilst keeping my calmness. "I don't know what you're planning to do with Mr. Payne's prints but I think you'll also need the thumb."

"I know how to count just perfectly," Ed protested. "Give it to me." I reached into my coats pocket again to take out the cell phone. The guy in the black suit took it away before I could hit send.

"My friends outside with the thumb print, just hit send," I assured as the man handed the phone to Ed who pushed the send button. A second later Katie came through the doors and walked over to us.

"Is everything ok?" Katie asked her voice filled with fear and worry as she handed me the brown envelope.

"Everything's fine catcha later," I replied with my voice still being emotionless. Katie nodded and started to head out of the bar. The bartender went around and locked the door as she exited. Looks like this whole bar is working for this guy. I handed Ed the envelope and he gripped the gun tightly in his hand. "Y'know everything would've gone a lot easier if you just gave me what I wanted."

"I don't think anyones going to miss you Niall," Ed explained whilst giving me a meaningless stare. "Nobody even knows you're here."

I looked down and than back at Ed. "Maybe... but you see my friend over there." Ed turned to look at Senator Jackson and to just my luck he was also on the TV reported as missing. "Everyone's looking for him."
