Anthony Miller - Larry Stylinson Secret Agent/spy AU

Chapter 8

"L-Louis?"

I let out a breath of relief and confusion. I can't believe he was here. My heart started to quicken as thoughts ran through my head and I walked closer to him. His smile never left his face as he came closer to me, closing the gap between us.

"Harry...its good to see you." He says almost with a pained expression and I frown at him in sympathy.

"What are you doing here?" I ask as worry started to seep into my voice. I looked around in paranoia. "It's dangerous. You shouldn't be here."

"It's all fine Harry." Louis assured which made me turn my eyes back to him in confusion. "I'm undercover." He spoke seriously and I nod in understanding before frowning.

"What does that mean?" I ask him in worry. I wonder what he could be doing that requires him to be undercover. I had a feeling that the old Harry wouldn't want this.

"It means that I'm going to be making sure you don't get hurt here. I'm keeping an eye on you at all times to make sure you're not in danger." He says this seriously and I can't help but run my shoulder consciously. It was starting to ache slightly. Louis looks at me worriedly before letting it go and looks up at me.

"Zayn is giving me private information gathered about miles over the past months that I think might come in handy. It's in that envelope." He points to the envelope in my hands and I look down at it frowning.

"Here." I say extending my hand with the envelope to Louis. "I trust you." I add afterwards in thought. Louis smiles a sad smile at that and takes the envelope. Our fingers brush and I can't help the small gasp from my lips. Touching him was like being electrocuted. Louis soon takes his fingers away and shoves the envelope in his hoodie.

He looks back at me and frowns slightly, looking torn before he pulls me into an embrace, his arms snaking around my back bringing me closer to him. I'm startled by the sudden intrusion but when he hugs me I know it's real. Our friendship is strong.

I let my head rest on his chest as his chin comes to rest on my head. He takes in a slow breath as I tighten my hold around his middle. Feeling safe in his arms. I let my eyes shut.

"I just want to go home." I whisper, not meaning for him to hear my statement but he tightens his hold around me a he does. He knows I mean my real home. Not the place where they forced me to believe was real.

"I know love. I know." Louis whispers back and my heart jumps at his reassuring words. He pulls me back and I look at him. He had this determined look on his face that made me want to smile.

"I promise you Harry. I'm going to get you out of here and everything is going to go back to the way it was." His voice cracks slightly on everything and I give him a sad smile.

"That's what Zayn said but he's doing nothing."

Louis pushes back some hair that fell in my eyes and looks at me softly. "He's trying his best Haz. We all are."

I close my eyes as a memory shoots through my vision of Louis and I at an office facility. We're looking at each other with a goofy smile. Our cubicles right beside each other. I suddenly turn away from Louis and focus on the computer screen where a familiar face on a file peers back at me.

Matt.

I gasp as I feel cold hands cup my face, shaking me out of my memory as I try and catch my breath. Louis looks at me with concern as he rolls his sleeves down bringing it under to wipe at my nose. I frown at his actions before he takes his sleeve away with a worried look and shows me, holding his sleeve up revealing a red substance.
