Niall's POV~

*A few hours before Zayn went missing*

"Hey, mate. I'm goin' out for a walk, aye?" Zayn told me. 

I looked up from my phone. I was busy retweetin' a few tweets from my lovin' fans.

"Mhm." I said, nodding.

"Don't be out too late." Liam reminded him, looking up from the sofa.

Zayn shut the door behind him.

"Ain't it weird?" I asked Liam.

"What's weird?" Harry and Louis asked at the same time, both stopping their play fight over Louis' Superman t-shirt.

"Zayn's been goin' out a lot, eh?"

"A man needs his time, Nialler." Liam slurred, yawning.

It was only about 10 p.m. and we didn't have a show that night. Paul told us it was our time for break, and Harry was goin' down with a bit of sore throat.

I shrugged at Liam's answer. I got up, with the box of Chinese takeout and entered our room.

"Ay, don't eat in there, you'll mess up the carpet!" Liam yelled at me.

"Shut up, Liam. That's what room service is for." Harry said, laughing.

I climbed up the bunk onto Zayn and I's bed, sighing. I looked at my phone again.

Niall Horan @NialOfficial: Chillin' out in the bunk. Buddy goin' out. :(

In a matter of seconds, it already had thousands of favourites and retweets. I love our fans.

I scrolled down to the replies and my eyes widened to some of it. These people have very- colourful language.

God, that is dirty. I didn't even know that word existed.

I closed the app and laid down, still chewing the food. I tossed the cardboard box down, knowin' full well Liam will get angry at me. Haha, it was so fun to mess around with him sometimes.

I bunched up all of my pillows and laid them on the headboard. Ugh, too uncomfortable. I took all of Zayn's pillows and laid them along with mine. 

But then a piece of shiny black card fell out of the pillow case. I picked it up. Ooh, pretty card.

I saw an almost invisible engraving on the front. It said: Syco Agency- Agent 0012.

Agent 0012? Syco Agency?

What the Nando's is goin' on?

I put my hand in the pillow case and a pair of headphones came tumbling down along with a microphone thing.

The headphones had a weird shape for it and I tried plugging it into my phone but I couldn't listen to anything. And the microphone thing was so tiny and it looked at something we wore durin' press conferences. You know, the ones they stick on your pockets or collars.

I thought about Zayn goin' out every other night. It used to happen rarely in the past but then over the few weeks, he's been goin' out a fair few times. Louis' been sayin' he might have some sort of secret girlfriend, but now that I've seen these stuff, I'm beginnin' to think they're something much more serious.

I knew it was wrong, but I dug my hands through the bedsheets, and I found a few more similar headphones and a bowtie that had a speaker on it and a mini camera. I jumped off the bunk and looked under the bed. I fished out a small black backpack.

What the hell is Zayn doin' with all these stuff. There were so many things in the bag. Suits and black shoes and more of the technology stuff.

I went back to the top bunk and considered calling Zayn to ask him what the hell was goin' on and tell him how blank I was but I decided not to.

Should I tell the other boys?

I packed back all the things I found the best I could in all the right places and made sure it looked okay and natural.

It was almost 11.30 when I was done.

I probably should ask him next morning. Who knows what time he'll get back.

***

The next morning, Liam asked Zayn where the hell he went to the night before, like every other night. At first I stayed silent but then I just couldn't help myself. I needed to ask him.

But in a subtle way.

"I noticed you've been goin' on quite a lot of walks lately." I said. I wanted him to tell me and I really thought he'd fall for that and tell me, maybe getting my hint.

But of course, he didn't.

Then he yawned and stretched and made up some excuse about being tired. I told him to maybe get some rest. Then maybe he'd notice all his stuff not being in the right places cause I did a sloppy job and then he'd probably think it was me.

And then Liam locked the door. I wanted to tell him not to do that, because I wanted to know what he was doin' but of course Liam told me to finish my food and leave Zayn alone.\

"After that, I excused myself from the table and Liam told me I could leave the table and I pretended to go to the bathroom, which was conveniently located next to our room.

I locked the door and pretended to flush the toilet.

"Oh no, the leprachaun's usin' the toilet- we won't be able to go in there for the next two hours." I heard Harry complained and gave a little laugh.

I pressed my ear against the wall and tried to listen.

But Louis was making a huge racket outside so I kicked the door.

"Can't an Irishman enjoy a little Swiftie moment in here?" I playfully yelled and Louis replied in a mocked hurt tone.

"Sorry..."

I heard him leave and proceeded to listen. I swear I heard Uncle Si's voice. Just a little- metallic. Wait no, a little um, robotic? Yeah, robotic. Like it sounded a bit autotuned.

I couldn't really hear much because Harry and Louis were still talking really loud outside and Liam was yelling his arse off at them but they kept ignoring him.

All I heard was a little somethin about Uncle Si calling Zayn Agent 0012 and talking about a new rookie and Zayn saying she's pretty.

God, I wanna see the pretty girl, too. I was gonna pee my pants just being so excited to listen in their conversation. I was constipated with curiosity. Oh no, that sounded gross.

"And the boys have been a bit suspicious, yes? Did they ask for your whereabouts last night?" 

"Like every other night." 

"They'll know soon, later. I'm guessing we can do something with the lot."  

"But they're too immature, Uncle Si." 

"You weren't too, when I selected you." he reminded me. I sighed. True.

"Yeah, but we can wait, can't we?"

"When the time comes, Zayn. When the time comes. We shall do whatever it takes." 

"Any theories on the big plan?" 

"Not yet. But if everything goes according to plan- we'll have a solid lead by tonight."

What the fucking Nando's?
