White Dove

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 – One step closer. (Abby’s POV)

I woke up the next morning to the soft breathing of a person underneath me. I opened my eyes and smiled as I saw Liam beneath me. I was about to nod back off to sleep when the realization hit me like a tonne of bricks. LIAM?! WHAT?! My eyes snapped opened and I looked around the room to see Harry beside me. That’s when the conversation between Niall and Harry made sense.

I AM THAT GIRL!

I got up silently and had a shower and got changed into some fresh clothes that I borrowed from Brittany. I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room where Brittany was typing away at the computer.

“Brittany…I need help” I said to her desperately. She looked up and saw my desperate face and laughed while I pouted.

“So you finally figured it out, eh?” She said to me with a grin.

“Stop grinning at me as if this your favourite soap opera.” I snapped at her.

“Look, babe, I can’t help you. You have to decide between Liam and Harry” She said to me with a sympathetic smile while I groaned. I hated love triangles…

“What’s this about her having to decide?” Katie asked Brittany.

“Liam and Harry both have feelings for Abby but she doesn’t know who to pick” Brittany said to Katie.

“Well, it’s up to her” Katie shrugged.

“You’re both so much help” I said to them, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

“No problem. One question, why didn’t you tell us that John was dead?” Katie said to me overly sweet.

“I’m sorry, Katie. I was so exhausted, I forgot” I apologized and she sighed before giving me that smile that meant she forgave me.

“Ok, now tell me, what did you discover?” Brittany asked Katie.

“Michael smith was working on something big, but he was apparently stopped by Perrie, Danielle and Eleanor.” Katie said to us.

“He was? But wouldn’t he still continue considering that he now has Perrie, Danielle and Eleanor?” Brittany asked.

“That’s what I thought. But then it became apparent to me that he needed a target.” Katie said to me.

“So, you assumed it was the boys?” I asked her.

“No, what made you think that?” Katie replied sarcastically.

“It makes sense…Perrie loves Zayn. She would do anything to protect him. What surprises me, is that she didn’t come to any of us…it was like she was protecting the boys and someone else” Brittany said thoughtfully.

“Eleanor! She was protecting Eleanor!” Katie exclaimed while Brittany and I looked at her in confusion.

“Eleanor told me last month she had received a job as a secretary for Keith Smith! I’m willing to place a bet that Eleanor was working for Keith, unaware she was planning to help him with Michael’s escape!” Katie said.

“Brittany, you better look into it. If there is any planning or any real estate that Keith or John were looking into, I want to know. I will look into Eleanor’s financials. Maybe it could point to where they were” I sighed.

“And moi?” Katie asked.

“You can try to get information on that formula. We need to know what Michael was planning” I told her and she nodded.

A few hours later and a dozen cups of coffee later, the boys finally woke up. It was a pure miracle! They stumbled into the kitchen just as Brittany was serving up lunch. They wolfed down their food in record time while I stuck to my cups of tea and bread.
