Person of Interest - Larry Stylinson

❝ You're being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you. Every hour of every day. I know, because I built it. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes, involving ordinary people. People like you. Crimes the government considers irrelevant. They wouldn't act, so I decided I would. But I needed a partner. Someone with the skills to intervene. Haunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You'll never find us. But victim or perpetrator; if your number's up, we'll find you.

"Mr Styles, we've detected another crime", Liam said in the phone. Harry could hear him as long as he was carrying a phone and wearing an earpiece.

"What is it this time, Payne?" Harry's voice sounded through the phone. Liam was sat behind his computer installation at his house. He basically shared his house with Harry, because they did not want to be found by the FBI or the CIA. Liam wasn't even supposed to know about the machine, but he built it.

Liam Payne was one of the greatest computer hackers of all times. Harry Styles was his partner in trying to prevent crimes the machine could see. He was an ex-CIA agent and they were still looking for him. They did not know his name, so around the CIA he was known as 'the man in the suit'. Harry didn't mind. He liked being anonymous. 

"There's a plot against a certain Louis Tomlinson. Do you know him?"

Harry pondered for a moment. "I don't think so, Liam. Though the name Tomlinson rings a bell. Maybe a son, or a brother?" he answered. He adjusted the gun in his belt and took his phone. He knew Liam would send all the information they had about Louis Tomlinson to his phone in a minute.

"Ah, yes. Son of Mark Tomlinson, owner of a large hardware company with the name of Tomlinson and Sons. Louis's the heir of the company."

"Tomlinson and Sons.... Sounds familiar." Harry's phone beeped and he quickly scanned the information Liam had sent him about Tomlinson and Sons.

"They do some good business apparently, earn a lot as well", Liam said.

Harry nodded thoughtfully. "So, what's the plot about?"

"They want to kidnap him, then force his father to pay ransom for him. Rather cliché, actually." Harry agreed with him.

“Okay, where do they live? I’ll take the first train", he said, already grabbing the stuff he would need.

“He lives in Doncaster. They have a big white mansion in Oxford Street. You really can’t miss it.” Liam said. Harry hummed and closed his suitcase. He always had a suitcase ready so he could leave at any moment. He only needed to pack the last personal belongings and he would be good to go.

“Okay, thanks Liam. I’ll talk to you later.” Harry said, before hanging up. He grabbed the last things he needed, his computer and toothbrush, and walked out the door, straight to the train station.

It wasn't that far to Doncaster and Harry called Liam on the way. "Li, can you tap their phones to see if they have direct plans to kidnap him within the next four hours?"

"Sure thing", Liam said into Harry's earpiece. "I'll keep track of them and if something changes I'll let you know."

"Thanks Liam." The rest of the train ride was spent with Harry researching things about the Tomlinson family on his phone (he found out that Louis was a handsome young man who didn't seem to like all the business stuff at all) and every now and then he got some updates on the kidnappers. They  were planning to kidnap them soon enough, but it just wasn't clear yet when they were going to kidnap him.
