The Agent |ZM|

/15/

-PORTLAND, OR-

Skyler.

I wake up upon hearing someone chuckling, and then there's a click.

I open my eyes to see Louis smirking at me from his seat. I notice him holding his phone in his hand. Did he just take a picture of me?

"Are we there yet?" I raise my hand to run it through my hair, but it doesn't budge. I realise Zayn's hand is still holding mine tightly, and my heart skips a beat. My eyes divert to his face, his long eyelashes are beautifully caressing his cheekbones as he sleeps ever so peacfully. I gulp, how can someone look this good while sleeping? I bet I looked like a damn zombie.

I notice Louis' eyes on us, so I awkwardly try to free my hand from his grab. He suddenly jolts out of his sleep and tightens his hand around mine harder, looking panicked as he looks at his surroundings. When he realises it's just us, he relaxes and locks eyes with me before looking at our hands and slowly slipping his hand from mine. A jolt of disappointment hits me but I brush it off.

"Mornin, lovebugs." Louis gives a wink, heat rushes up to my cheeks and I look anywhere but at him.

"Shut up you twat." Zayn spits and adjusts his sitting position.

Louis chuckles, "Whatever, so since you two are finally awake, we can talk."

"How much time until we land?"

"10 minutes tops." He says. "Now, the plan."

"Well, we're heading to Jason's house. He must have something we can use to find out what the hell he wants from Skyler." Zayn's words makes nervousness bottle up inside of me.

"I don't think he's stupid enough to leave that kind of information, though." Louis argues.

"The douchebag is stupid, but he knows very well how to get what he wants." Zayn says, the words sounding bitter coming out of his mouth. I see something flash through his eyes, but he shakes his head, probably ignoring it.

Louis sighs, "What do you have in mind?"

Zayn chews on his lip, "Nevermind, what we need to do is get to his place and leave fast, like it never happened. Did you call Arthur?"

Louis nods, "Yeah, a car is parked outside the airport, and he already prepared where we'll be staying the night."

"And Jason's house?"

"Under surveillance, it's packed with our agents."

"Good."

"Guys?" I finally speak, they both turn their attention to me. "Do you think what's happening is related to my parents only?"

Louis and Zayn exchange glances.

"It can be realted to anything, really." Louis shrugs. "If we don't find out anything from his house, It'll be hard to go after him. But I hope Arthur and his men find something soon."

"Hopefully." I say before buckling my seatbelt as the plane gets ready to land.

When we got out of the plane, security men escorted us through the airport until we finished some papers and got inside a black Rover. Zayn sat beside me this time as a man dressed in a suit drove the car. I noticed that another black rover was driving behind us, backup, as Louis said.

I stare out of the window, looking at the busy highway as we drive through the city. Portland seems like a city full of life, people of all ages are walking the streets, either going to their jobs or playing with their kids. I look up at the clear sky, catching a plane flying and heading to the airport to land.
