Love Trap (Slow Updates)

Seventy Four.

Aria's pov;

While Brandon, Rowland and I were eating, nice and quietly, I saw Louis enter the restaurant, making his way towards our table.

"Hey" He said, scratching his neck nervously.

I placed my fork down and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "What are you doing here?"

"Relax" Brandon looked at me. "I told him to come"

"Tell me one good reason why you would do that" I said.

"Look, I'm coming here with good intentions" Louis said, sitting down next to Rowland.

"Oh, really? To tell me I'm a selflish killer, that I held Harry's love, hostage for two damn years?" I asked, exhaling sharply.

"No, Aria. Of course not. I'm not blinded like he is. I know when something is right and when something is wrong" He responded.

"I invited him so that he could hear our plan" Brandon said.

"I want to help, you can't take that right away from me. I am involved already, I like it or not" He said.

"Fine" I shrugged.

"I just came back from his apartment, listen to me. I know Emily is lying, it's too obvious. She's not the same and I think Harry is doubting how genuine she is as well. I have an idea to make him see how wrong he is" Louis said.

"This is not about him. I don't care if he is with her or not, right now, I'm fighting for others, not for my pathetic love life" I said.

"Just let me speak, alright. Harry needs to be involved, you won't make it without him, you like it or not. He is skilled and knows how to handle Josh, don't worry. We just need to simply tell him to become a part of this. I will do it. I will ask Emily to do so as well" Louis said.

"What? But she's not... She won't do it, she can't do it" I said, in confusion.

"Exactly. She will hesitate, Harry will see it. That's when it gets fun. It will be a lost cause for her after that" Louis said.

"Not as bad as I thought, you have a point. But we need to gather more information and speak to the police first, before we do that. You never know what she will do when she finds out we want to rebel against Josh, for real this time" I said.

He nodded in agreement and we decided to end our lunch and get back to the headquarters, without Louis of course. I had to speak to one of the people Rowland had spoke to himself, so I can take a flash drive from him, containing the digital copy of some of Josh's worst cases. Murders, injuries, exchanges, bank account details. Anything was useful. The more, the merrier.

On the second floor, was one of the secretaries, the guy who would give me the flash drive. I was lucky Josh wasn't around then, or I would be screwed. There was no reason for me to be down there and no excuse would be enough for him to believe me. What could I possibly want from a secretary, anyway? I'm just responsible for mission duty, not paperwork. He was too smart to believe anything I told him, but his employees weren't, which made it a hundred times easier for me.

When I got the flash drive, I quickly got to my room and locked the door. I hissed in pain when I plopped down on my bed, delivering extreme pressure to the recently reopened scar on my thigh. I had forgotten for a moment that I was previously shot and injured there. All of my bruises were gone now, no more pain was on my abdomen nor my cheek, but the pain on my thigh was still there.

I opened my silver laptop, typing in my password. I put in the black flash drive on the right slit and waited for the files to load. In front of my eyes, stood countless files of cases from the past. In front of me were cases of lost lives, of crazy exchanges, that even now, after even involving myself in them, it is incredibly hard to wrap them around my head. They truly exist and they are in my hands.
