Saved By One Direction

What Now?

Liam's POV

She's gone. How could I have not seen it earlier? Her house was burnt down killing her parents and then her foster dad was shot and killed. Someone had been targetting her.  I had thought that once she was with me she would be safe and I would be helping her but maybe I only made it easier for them to get her.  How was I supposed to keep her safe when I couldnt even notice that something was going on. 

Harry was on his hands and knees a couple hundred metres up the road from he. Even from here I could see his whole body was shaking with loud sobs.  I knew that before I could go and comfort him I had to call the police and report what just happened.

"911 what's your emergency?" the operators voice spoke up.

"My daughter was just kidnapped, I need police." The words just rolled off of my tongue without any emotion.

"Okay sir, what's your name?"

"Liam Payne, my daughters name is Nicole." My voice began to shake again.  I had only just gotten her and we were going back home to meet my family and now she was gone.

"Alright, and what is your location?" I quickly told her the address. "Alright, help will be there within 10 minutes." I nodded before realizing they couldn't see me and saying goodbye instead. 

It was now time to go and talk to Harry.  I jogged up to where the younger lad was laying beside the road.

"Harry, you need to sit up mate," I tried to keep my voice steady but I couldn't help the shake that over took it. "I called the police and they will be here really soon and they are goign to helo us find her."

"How are you so calm? They just took your daughter!" Harry yelled at me, tears falling down his cheeks.

"I'm not, but I need to try to be for everyones sakes!" I yelled back. I couldn't help it, I knew that I shouldn't yell at him but so much was happening. 

I don't remember talking to the police that night, or when the rest of the lads showed up but I do remember feeling lost, cold, and out of control. At some point the boys took me back to the hotel and into my room where we stayed hiddled up in the living room waiting for news.

Nicole's POV

The back of the van was cold and damp.  I had been left tied up in the back with a blindfold over my face.  Two men were sitting in the front talking in hushed voices. Even if I tried to hear what they were saying I wouldn't be able to.  I remember hearing a voice calling my name just before they closed the door on me,  but I wasn't able to tell who it was.  I'm not sure how long I had been in the van for but my lower body was beginning to fall asleep and I was becoming more and more unsettled.  

My only comfort was knowing that the boys would be looking for me and trying to find me.  I kept my thoughts trained on the happy memories that I had had with them over the short time that I was with them. 

I was thrown out of my thoughts as the van came to a rough stop and the two men stepped out of the car.  I listened to their footsteps fall as they walked away from the van.  I started to panic, they couldn't just leave me in here! Why did they have to take me in the first place? I was just beginning to get comfortable again after a year of everyone I knew being killed.  Was I going to be next? It would make sense, first my parents, then Nathan and now it seemed that they had finally cared about, me.

Would I make it out of this alive or would I have the same fate as my parents and Nathan?

Mystery POV

We finally got her. After almost a year we finally have her in our possesion.  The boss will be happy with us.  To think that she actually went back to the place where we were waiting and have been waiting.  Well now the wait is finally over with and she has no chance of escaping us again.  

Harry's POV

Nicole was still missing, its been almost five hours since I watched that van grab her and drive away.  Five hours since I let her disappear through my fingertips.  Liam is a mess.  He hasn't spoken to anyone since the police interviewed him earlier in the night.  In fact none of us had left the small hotel living space since we got back here.  We were all waiting for a phone call from someone to tell us that Nicole was safe or even on that would just tell us that they had a hint as to where she was taken.

I looked around the room, all eyes were trained on something but not on someone.  Liam was staring at the blank screen of his phone in dire anticipation, Zayn was looking down at his fingers, Niall was looking blankly at the wall and Louis' gaze was wondering around the room not focusing on anything in particular.  

My gaze returned to my shoes adn my thoughts floated around in my head, none of them good even with the positive outlook I was trying to have.  I was thrown out of my thoughts by a phone ringing on the table.  Everyones eyes shot towards Liam's phone.  Within a second he was pressing answer and putting it on speaker.

"Hello?" His voice shook as he answered.

"Hello, Liam Payne? I'm calling about a missing person report." The voice replied.

"Yes, do you have any news?" 

"We have been able to track down the van that took her, it is believed to be about two hours north of here." Liam's muscle visibly relaxed for a second before tensing up again. 

"That is some good news, do you think she will be there?"

"There is a very good chance, as we speak we have twenty men moving out there to check."

"Thank you, would you be able to give us the address?" 

"I'm sorry sir but I can't it wouldn't be safe." 

"Thank you anyway. And officer?"

"Yes?"

"Please bring her home safe." He hung up and looked around the room.

"So they think they have her?" I asked carefully.

"It seems like it, I just hope that they aren't to late."

AN: Here it is! So what do you think? Will she be safe? And will the police find her?
