Zalien Invazion

68

    Suddenly, liam stops dead in his tracks. He listens silently, not even breathing. From what he heard, he could tell He wasn't alone. Slow steady footsteps were walking down the hallway and Liam's heart rate escalates.
"Fuck...." He mutters nervously under his breath then glances back at the door. "I'm sorry Zaynie... I'll be back. I promise," he whispers as he rests his hand longingly on the door. He had no clue if Zayn was even on the other side, but he couldn't stick around long enough to find out yet.
As quietly as he could, Liam runs as fast as he can down the incredibly long white hallway until he finally finds a room that was open.
    Quickly, he slips into one of the rooms that had an open door so he wouldn't be seen. He had no idea who was out there, but he knew he didn't want to be seen, especially by one of the guards. Not when he was so close. He couldn't just forfeit it all now and get caught when he had come this far.
     As Liam waits impatiently and time passes, the footsteps only grow louder and louder, echoing in the eerie silence.
     Liam crouches down next to a large silver table in the center of the room. He looks around and realizes he might be in some kind of medical doctor's room, which he could use to his advantage. He glances around himself then silently picks up a long, sharp scalpel, ready to spring out and defend himself if he needed to.
       The footsteps only keep growing terrifyingly closer and Liam holds his breath, shrinking back against the wall. He grips tightly to his weapon, preparing himself for a fight. He only hoped he wouldn't have to face a gun. As the figure passes, liam sees a small dark shadow cast over the room. His heart stops and he doesn't even dare breath when the shadow pauses in the hallway, right outside his door.
      How did they know he was here?? Had they seen him? Was this all just a trap after all?!
      Liam sticks his head up from behind the table and slowly lets out his breath and shakes his head as his grip loosens around the scalpel which he sets back on the counter.
   It was none other than Louis standing cluelessly in the middle of the  hallway. Liam breathes a sigh of relief and steps out of his hiding spot.
     "Hey! Louis!" Liam whispers loudly, almost giving his friend a heart attack.
"The hell you doing just hiding around like that popping out at people!!?" Louis demands frustratedly.
"I thought you were a guard," Liam explains. "And Where's Niall??" Liam asks worriedly.
    "I thought he'd be here with you!" Louis admits, glancing around frantically.
    "Oh my god.... I hope nothing happened to him," Liam says worriedly.
    "I'm sure he's fine.... Probably just looking for us or something," Louis reasons. "Or maybe he's out looking for Zayn. Like we're supposed to be doing and not just hiding in the dark like little pussies," Louis adds sassily.
     "I was hiding because I thought you were a guard!!" Liam repeats frustratedly. "I wasn't scared," he adds.
     "Right," Louis mutters sarcastically.
"How did you even get down here?" Liam wonders, changing the subject.
     "I don't know. I was just following my hallway then saw a stair case and thought 'what the fuck? I'm already this deep in this shit. Why not go further?' And I went down the stairs and I've been walking down this long-ass hallway for like 20 minutes," Louis explains casually with a shrug.
      "Hm... So then If these two hallways meet up and join together like this, They must lead somewhere important," Liam reasons, resting a finger on his chin deep in thought.
"So Zayn must be down this way," Louis says as he starts walking down the long white hallway.
"Yeah I think he is. I found the room Harry was talking about," Liam explains.
"What the fuck the you waiting for, an invitation?! Go get your boy back!!" Louis exclaims in confusion.
"I can't!" Liam insists.
"Why? Having second thoughts on all this? Just gonna leave pore ole Zaynie to fend for himself?" Louis asks.
"No, it's too dangerous to go now," Liam says but Louis ignores him and walks down the hallway and Liam reluctantly follows him. "I thought I heard someone down this way. Its too dangerous Louis. We need to go back. I heard footsteps earlier," Liam warns as he follows behind Louis.
"That was me Liam," Louis mutters.
"No I know that," Liam replies dryly. "There were more footsteps. And they were heavy," Liam explains as they continue down the hallway for what seems like forever.
Suddenly without warning, Liam stops walking and Louis bumps in to him.
     "What the bloody hell was that for?" Louis asks irritably.
      "Be quiet!!" Liam commands as he crouches down and presses his side to the wall.
      "what? Why'd you stop then?" Louis whispers as he bends down next to Liam.
    "Look-There's a guard up there," Liam whispers. "Get down!!" He commands worriedly. Louis complies and kneels, hiding behind Liam's frame, peeking out over his shoulder.
     "Yeah We must be close... There's not a guard on sight anywhere else in this whole god damn building," Louis shares in a quiet frustrated whisper.
"Why is he there?! He wasn't there earlier!!" Liam laments sadly.
     "Well lucky us," Louis mutters sarcastically.
"What are we gonna do now?" Liam asks.
"There's two of us and one of him," Louis shrugs as if it was nothing.
"Louis!! He has a gun! We can't take him, we'll get shot," Liam informs him.
     "I'll cause a distraction. You keep going and find Zayn. If I make it, I'll meet you outside out back like we planned, alright?" Louis plans.
     "What are you gonna do?" Liam asks curiously.
    "The thing I'm best at: talk," Louis says. Before Liam can stop him, Louis stands up and steps out from their hiding place.
   "Oi! Hello there mate!" Louis calls, breaking the silence and gaining the guards attention. "What are you doin just standing there huh? Shouldn't you be guarding this place? You're doing a pretty lousy job at your job, eh? Lettin me get this far. I bet you didn't even notice I got in, did you? Honestly, you should be fired," he continues proudly.
    "What? How'd you get here?" The guard asks in surprise.
     "I'm pretty smart. Found a way past your system and everything. You idiots didn't even see me coming. Never would've even saw me if I didn't come out to you like this," Louis gloats.
     "You're under arrest!" The guard says, clearly surprised by Louis's sudden appearance.
    "Cute. Well. If you need me, I'll just be wandering around this lovely place. Bye," Louis waves as he turns and walks away.
     "Hey!! Come back here!" The guard commands in a rough authoritative voice. Louis just laughs and keeps walking down the hallway, clearly disinterested in the guards seemingly empty threats.
     The guard yells more commands at Louis and Liam laughs as the guard abandons his post to follow Louis down the hallway. When they were both out of sight, Liam stands and slowly creeps out of his hiding spot. He continues down the white lit hallway. On both sides were doors, some open some closed.
Liam quickly continues down the hallway, Searching each door until he finally found the one that said '42' again.
