Breathe, breathe, breathe.

"Okay kid where should you be?" Ashton asked the small curly haired teen after they'd reached a semi safe spot along a stone fence behind the closest 7-Eleven to his apartment. 

"Well, Dad is at home and Papa is working at the hospital tonight," She'd answered the man who was breathing heavily. Eyelids resting closed as his other senses hightened as a survival instinct. 

"Two dads huh?" She nodded with a proud look, "Who are they though, like their names?"

"Louis and Harry Tomlinson-Styles," Ash only hummed and nodded at the names.

"Lou wouldn't be to happy with you out here tonight, Angel. He's gonna have my arse if I don't get you home untouched, Love."

"You know my parents?" Sophie jumped up with a smile.

"Yeah, Squirt. You probably don't remember me since i haven't seen you since you were like four," He assured the young girl smiling at memories of the little, free spirited girl with the chocolate curls she received from her Papa. God he missed her growing and yet sees her again on the worst night of  everyones' year. "I missed seeing you but my, err, job came to be a bit dangerous and your Dad wanted out of it and I didn't quite yet. 

Like that Ash could feel his cell begin to vibrate, as he had set for the emergency numbers to come through for the night. He fished the buzzing phone out the pocket of his black skinny jeans. 

"Hello?" Ashton answered quietly, still trying to be unnoticed by everyone out tonight.

"Ashton i need your help oh my god I dont- I dont know where she is! My little girl! Where is she oh my god ashton she could get killed! I cant loose her-no I cant!"

"Shhh, Lou I need you to calm down. I have Soph. I found her and helped her from a situation, okay? She is fine. She is alive. Do you understand me?"

"What?! You do? Oh my god, thank you!" A startled yet thankful Louis praised.

"Yes I do now I need you to do me a favor in order for me to get her home safely, okay?"

"Yeah, yes, of course. Anything."

"I need you to call harry when you get off with me and tell him to wait for me around to the emergency entrance and to tell the guards that he is expecting me and his daughter. The hospital is closer than you're house," Ash ordered. Louis' reply was a simple 'okay and get my baby home safe. tell her i love her.' 

The call ended with incoherent yelling and the screams of a young girl.

Calum's heavy breaths were heard loudly in the room of fenced walls, holding at least 4 others. 

He didn't really know what happened. The last thing he'd seen was a white mask and a cloth to his face. After that it was all black. Until now, he'd woken up and pulled himself from the cold, hard ground to take in his surroundings. Where am i?

Indistinct chatter could be heard down the caged hall to an illuminated door. A shadow passing by it as another follows. 

"He's a good one eh?" The first voice said.

"He looks good. You think Olson will buy him?" Voice two asked as the door opened and the two shadows walked down the hall of cages Calum had been in.

"Tisk, tisk, tisk. Olson buys anything that looks good to fuck, boys." Calum sucked in a breath as the men passed his enclosure. Buy? What the fuck is this? Some human trafficking bullshit? "Oh yes, Olson would love this one," The bigger man, voice one, spoke as he stood in front of the cage only a few down from Calum. The small boy looked scared for his life. Shuffling to the back wall in fear. I wouldn't want to be sold for a fuck ether.

Sounds of metal on metal can be heard along with shouts and shooting can be heard from the cracked door from the hall. The men stood at the small blonde boy's confinement start to look at each other and began to make a run for the opposite door. They didn't make it far before another man was shooting them both, causing crimson to oose from their body. Calum could hear and partially see the blonde boy and a blonde girl across from each other stand and walk to the doors of their space, looking to each other with hopeful smiles.

"Li? Zee?" They spoke at the same time, quietly. 

Another man comes out from behind the one who had shot the others. He dashed to the boy, pulling at the lock until it clattered to the ground. The small boy jumped up on him wrapping himself tightly around him, relieved. The shooter had done the same to the girl across the hall. 

Other men and women started to filter into the hall opening gates and letting everyone out, afterwards leading them all outside the building. Noticing his duffel, Calum grabbed his bag they had taken on his way out the building. He was prepared to just go off to what he was meant to do tonight, but he'd realized he doesn't know where the fuck they are. It seemed to be a warehouse just outside the city. Great. 

"Guys, Ash called in. He was attacked and he has Soph," The raven haired man spoke to the group of armed, dressed in tight, black clothing. They all gasped and nodded with wide eyes. They seem to know what to do without speaking.
