Masks Off Identities Out

Chapter Seven pt. 2

-Flash back to 1 year ago.-

    "He's going to kill us if we get caught!" Niall uttered out. "We won't get caught I promise." They went to the shed in the back of the security building that was filled with hay and water boilers. "There's a light." Liam pointed out. "I'll go check it out." Harry bent down behind one of the boilers and saw two people with a flashlight and some matches. "Zayn." Harry whispered in a very hushed tone. Zayn handed Harry the pair of scissors so that Harry could cut a piece of rope hanging from the ceiling. "Go to the back window and see who those people are." Harry grabbed Ed by the sleeve and made him stay with him. Within a few minutes Liam, Niall and Zayn were back with the names. "It's Grimmy and El." Zayn whispered. 

    "We have to burn it down before we get caught Grims! Hurry." Eleanor rushed Nick who was lighting a match. "We better get out." Harry and the other lads made their way out of the shed and made a run for it back to the building. "Wait! I'll catch up with you guys, I have to go see Paul (Head security)." Zayn went back to the security building and quietly entered. "Zayn, it's past curfew what are you doing up so late?" 

    "Well you see Paul, that's what I'm here to talk to you about. I need to stay past curfew tomorrow." Paul nodded his head and motioned for Zayn to keep going. "I have something going on with Pez and I need to surprise her. So I'm getting your permission to stay past." 

    "Just no funny business Zayn, but yes you ave my permission." But that's when it all happened. Paul immediately got out of his seat and put his walkie-talkie on "fire in the shed, fire in the shed!" Paul pulled Zayn out of the building and told him to go back to the dorm. But Zayn being Zayn he didn't which was a mistake he made. Once the fire was put out Paul held Nick by the shoulder up against the police car that had arrived not too long ago. "What the fuck were you doing past curfew, committing arson. You can go to jail for this Grimshaw. Not a very smart plan was it. Who was with you?" When Nick didn't answer Paul pressed his face against the car. "Who was with you?!" Paul demanded an answer but Nick repelled to give an answer. "Was Zayn a distraction? Huh? Was Malik part of this scheme. Did you have him come into my office thinking he would distract me so that I wouldn't notice your escape from the shed?! Someone could've gotten hurt!" Paul chided him. 

    "He wasn't with me. No one was." Nick finally answered.
