A thick silence filled the room as we all conjured up a plan. Louis was a lawyer and we had originally decided to go with the legal option and have Caleb rot in prison, but Zayn being Zayn, we all knew that wasn't going to happen.

"I know a few people who can help us out, but there will be a bit of bloodshed going on." Louis spoke up, looking at Liam and Zayn. I assumed they knew just who he was talking about.

"Do you think the lads will even help? we haven't spoken in a while." Zayn questioned.

"Niall and Harry are like our brothers, we've helped them with so much they'll jump on board in a heartbeat." Louis assured.

"They're already on there way, word spreads quick. I guess someone told them that you got shot and they got a flight."
I had avoided my question in fear that I would sound oblivious, but I couldn't procrastinate any longer.

"Are you going to kill him?" I asked in a monotonous voice. I wasn't angry nor afraid, I was just trying to wrap my head around it all. I was apart of a murder plan, it wasn't as brutal as it seemed, Caleb has killed and intended to kill more men than I would even bother to mention, but somehow it still felt inhumane. I was never one to prioritize one mans life for another, the idea seemed small minded and narcissistic. Yet at this moment I was wavering on the very idea to murder one man for the vengeance of another's near deathly wound. As my mind slowly reeled back in Louis answered my question.


"Yes."
That was it. What else could he say? it was the plain and simple truth.

"I would never let you see anything Juliet. It won't be a bloodied battle of broken bones and thugs, it will be simple and effective. It's the only way to ensure the safety of all of us. He knows more than we even think possible. He knows about Ally, despite her relatively new involvement. He knows about your mum and my mum and my father and my past. It's all locked away in a mental index. We will never be safe.." Zayn repeats again.
I simply nod my head and await further details.

The infamous Niall and Harry arrived and I wasn't surprised when they all had a brief moment to reminisce. Harry was a tall boy, with peri ring green eyes. his stature was intimidating but I quickly picked up in his easy going ways. Niall was an average build with sapphire eyes that held my attention. His being radiated carelessness. He had a cheery attitude that brought up everyone's spirit.
It was nice to meet people from Zayn's past.
It was also nice to see him recovering. He was doing tremendously better. The doctors wouldn't disclose much to me, but Zayn was already walking again. Though that was more due to his stubbornness, it was still a good sign. His buddies were glad to see him in such an aware state. I had a feeling they expected something much worse.

***
After the mini reunion, we talked about this big plan. Me and Ally were were irrelevant to the situation, both Liam and Zayn adamant on not letting us help. It was clear that whatever these five boys were plotting was anything but safe. Zayn still had two days before he could even be realized from the hospital, but I had a feeling that wasn't going to happen. the more we spoke the more I realized how difficult this was going to be. Killing a drug lord was risky from the jump, but in such a small town where fingers could be easily pointed made it
even harder.

***
The day had come to an end, and the visiting hours were well over. I had a feeling the nurses let us stay a bit longer because they were frightened of the boys.
I couldn't really blame them, Zayn had a sleeve of tattoos and piercing stare that defined his prominent and bold jawline, Harry was smothered in tattoos and piercings to match, not to mention his over 6'ft stature looming over nearly everyone. Liam had tattoos scattered across his body messy bed head that had girls swooning and a muscular build that could easily beat someone if tempted. Louis proudly displayed a masquerade of tattoos wore a variety of band shirts and loose fitting skinnys cuffed messily at the bottom accompanied by a pair of scuffed vans. His beanie covered hair laid effortlessly against his forehead drawing attention to the intense teal of his eyes. His stare was one that you averted because of how deep his irises could peer into you. And Niall, the least ferocious of them all still seemed to put off a dangerous vibe. He had the boyish looks but wore the clothes of a punk rocker. His snap back rested on his head the brim pointed to the back instead the proper direction matching the gray tank top and dark wash skinnys that paired fiercely with the dirt stained vans adorning his feet. His hands were buried in his pockets unintentionally flexing the apparent muscles his arms held. They weren't your usual group of preppy lads, they had stories of violence and abandonment, their pasts weren't happy and their present held secrets ordinary people only see in movies.
But even with a group of anger prone boys, hospitals have to follow the rules.

"I-I'm sorry but visiting hours are over." A lady informed us. She was probably in her early thirties mentally judging the group of misfits breaking the rules.

We were just leaving." I politely replied before one of the boys had something smart to say.
She awkwardly left the room leaving us to it.

"Bye babe, I love you." I whispered quietly giving a lasting kiss on his lips.
The rest of the boys said their goodbyes and we all gathered to leave.

"You boys can stay at my house, in fact that's all just stay at my place. It's big enough and I don't think it's best any of us stay alone. It's onyl matter of time before Caleb finds out Zayn isn't dead and his anger will be frightful."
They all agreed and we filed one by one into the parking lot, tomorrow was when the big plan commences. Our futures depend on it.
