Harry's POV

It's been two hours since the bank robbery and that's all that's been on the news. They caught Robert and Carl got away. Robert better not fucking rat us out. It took a while to count out the money and it was a lot more than twenty thousand. Probably an extra thirty grand is in there. I've called Shaun about eleven times and he hasn't answered, I'm assuming he's sleeping. He needs to hurry just in case Robert really does fucking snitch.

A few hours later, the phone rings and thankfully it's Shaun.

"You better have the money this time since you called me seventeen fucking times." Seventeen? I guess I miscounted.

"Yes asshole, I have it. Plus some." I want all of this damn money off my hands. Maybe once he has it, I can say he helped rob the bank. The police will check his house, find the money, and he will go to fucking jail. Seems logical to me.

"Plus some? Maybe I should take Alex a lot more!" He joked. What a dick.

"Shut the fuck up, where can I meet you?" I wanted to go now. I needed to get Alex now.

"Well if you're planning on getting the girl, you should probably come here."

"How do I know it's not a set up? I've seen your kind before. You're not plesant people to deal with." I told him. I'm not a fucking idiot. I had them the money and then they fucking shoot me, right there.

"Fine, meet me in the alley on the west side of the mall."

"Oh no, we're doing this in public. The airport on the south side of the peir. Six sharp. Be there or I burn the money." I'm not a fucking idiot.

"How the hell are we going to fucking trade a girl and bags of money in public?" Dumbass.

"I've got the money packed in two large suitcases. She gets out and looks excited and you look like you're just getting your suitcases. Simple. Got it?"

"Fine whatever. Six sharp?"

"Six fucking sharp."

With those words, we end the call. I've got maybe an hour before I have to go. In case Robert decides to be a dick, I should probably leave in case I'm being looked for. This is the first place they'll check. I decide to leave, just in case.

As I'm loading the suitcases into the car, I hear footsteps behind me. I turn around to find Zayn standing at the end of the driveway with a terrified look on his face.

"They're looking for us." He said calmly. "It's over."

"To hell it is. Get in the car." I scold.

"Where you going? Vacation?" He asks looking at the suitcases.

"That doesn't seem like a bad idea now considering we're being searched for. Damn it, Robert is such an ass!"

"Robert didn't do it! Carl's girlfriend turned us in!" I knew that bitch would cause trouble as soon as she got her pathetic ass hands on some money. "If you're not going on vacation, where the fuck are you going?"

"The airport." I stated. I'm sure I sound fucking crazy right now. "Look man if I tell you something you can't repeat it and you can't laugh either." I tell him. He nods in agreement before I continue.

"You remember that new girl, Alex?" I ask and he nods. "Her dad kidnapped her. He's not allowed to be around her because he and his friend raped her when she was little. He wants twenty thousand dollars in order to get Alex back. That's what I'm going to do now and that's why it was time to rob the bank." I blurted out. I promised Alex I wouldn't tell anyone but I'm hoping that she will understand.

"Damn, if I didn't know any better I would say you like this girl." He laughed.

"No, I just can't leave her with her dad. She's chained up like a fucking dog, man. It would be wrong to not do anything!" I yelled. I may be slightly embarrassed.

"Dude, I'm kidding. Calm the fuck down." He says, laughing. He's such a dick.

When we get to the airport, there's still about twenty minutes to kill. I go into the back and pull out twenty grand. I never told him how much extra I had. We're gonna need it. First we have to go to a different state so we can get out of this one, then we need to get passports and leave the fucking country until the heat dies down.

"Got any money on you?" I ask Zayn. If he's planning on going with us he should have his own damn money.

"What did you think was in the backpack dumbass?" He laughed.

I look over to see a black truck parked beside me. I walk up to the window and it's Shaun. I can see Alex in the back, but her mouth is taped. Her hair is cleaned and brushed and she has make up on. She doesn't even look as if she has been chained up for days.

"Untape her mouth now. How fucking suspicious would that look?" I scold him. They remove the tape and open the door. They walk her over to the back of my car.

"Open the door." They tell me. I opened the door and they grab the suitcases. I rush Alex to the other side of the car and rush her in.

"Who's that?" She questions, nodding her head in Zayn's direction.

"I'll explain in a minute. Just hold on." I tell her. I walk over to Shaun's car and he checks the suitcases, making sure the money is in there.

"It was nice doing business with you." Shaun says, closing the truck.

"I don't want to fucking hear from you again. Got it?" He nods in agreement and leaves. I hop in the driver seat and drive down to parking, where the car can sit until we get back.

"What are we doing?" Alex asks. Her voice is barely there and what is there is hoarse. Now that I look at her closely, she has bags under her eyes and they're really puffy. She's got a bruise on her left cheek and that makes my chest hurt a little.

"If I tell you, you can't freak out. Promise?" She nods and I take a deep breath, silently hoping that she won't try to leave.

"To get the money to get you back, I had to rob a bank." She seemed unaffected by the news which make me give her an odd look.

"I saw it on the news. I figured it was you when Shaun told me you got the money and I had to clean up." She answered the look on my face.

"Okay well this is Zayn. He helped. There were two others involved and one of their girlfriend's reported us to the police. We have to leave the state, get passports and leave the country until the heat dies down." I tell her. She shrugs her shoulders and hops out of the car.

"Wait, you're cool with this?" I ask her confused. I thought she would at least object, maybe wanting to go home to her mom.

"I don't have any family anymore, why not?" She answers. Did I miss something?

"But your mom--"

"They killed her." She interupted. I felt bad now. I gave her a sympathetic look, to embarrassed to hug her in front of Zayn.

"Don't be sorry. It's done with and there's nothing I can do about it." She says before starting to walk. "Are y'all coming or are you just going to stand there like dumbasses?" She asks before we grab our bags and walk next to her. Her attitude has completely changed.

I have a feeling that this is going to be one hell of a trip.
