I tried to say something, but I couldn't. Not a single word came out, besides the fact that a million of them were swimming around in my head. 

Does he know where Charlie is? Is he OK? Does he think of me? Where is he? Harry knew me years ago? All of these unanswered questions came to mind, but I couldn't ask any of them.

"You gonna say something princess?" Harry smirked, tilting his head to the side. I wanted to slap that smirk right off him, but that would be a foolish idea.

"Wh...I can't.." I stuttered, still in complete shock. Harry let out an exasperated sigh, but explained.

"Charlie had been involved with us for a while actually. He was one of the best we had too," he chuckled. "Which is why I'm surprised he knew you, and dated you." he explained. I nodded slightly, wanting to know more.

"Best at what?" I asked, afraid of the answer. I knew Harry was a heartless monster, even a murderer, so the thought of Charlie, my Charlie being in work with him, broke my heart.

"Not killing people if that's what you think." Harry laughed, reading my thoughts. "But he wasn't as innocent as you think" he spoke up, watching my reaction. "He was rather violent."

"What did he do?" I finally spoke up, finding my voice.

"His job was the same as mine, Justin's and Cj's," Harry shrugged. "We are meant to go around as collect debt from those who owe the boss money. If they didn't have it, we taught them a lesson, and scared them into getting the money as soon as possible." Harry shrugged again, obviously thinking it was nothing.

"Charlie hurt people?" I gasped, staring into Harry's eyes, with fear, but mainly disappointment.

"Only when we have to, Mel." Harry spoke softly, almost like he was trying to make me feel better. This boy had very quick and scary mood swings...

"Have to?" I repeat, looking at Harry. He raised his brow in confusion, not understanding my sudden curiosity.

"Yeah?" Harry mumbled. "What's the big deal?"

"You said have, not had." I stated.

"And?" Harry pushed, still not understanding. I sighed, frustrated that it was taking him so long to figure out.

"So he still works with you guys? He's still around! You know where he is!" I raised my voice, getting both excited and anxious.

I swear I heard the light bulb switch on in Harry's head, as his mouth formed an 'o' shape, realizing what he had let slip.

"Yes, but you're not going to see him again Melanie." he ordered, authority back in his voice.

"Why?" I whined. He had been my freaking boyfriend! I think I deserve to see him, especially considering the crap Harry has done to me. I just needed answers.

"Melanie, he's dangerous for you sweetheart," Harry mumbled, shifting closer to me, hugging me to his chest yet again.

"YOU are dangerous for me!" I raised my voice, pushing my hands at his hard chest, struggling to get out of his grip. "Charlie would never hurt me! He never did!" I protested.

"People knew who you were just because he knew you, Melanie!" Harry growled. "He endangered you! People had tried to get to you before, but Charlie was lucky enough to get to them first, stopping them from laying a finger on you!"
