Orphan

Chapter 21

"Monique?...Monique where are you?" I heard Abigail mumble as my eyes shot open, the cold wind hitting my body suddenly. I must have fallen asleep. "Huh..." I asked as I stood up slowly walking back to the window and climbing back through into that asshole's room. "...Yeah I'm here, what's wrong?" I asked walking inside as she paced around worriedly. "I've been calling you for the last fucking hour, where have you been, I needed your help and you were nowhere to be found and now it's too late and the problem has just been escalating and-" she continued rambling on as I shook my head with a sigh.
"-Whoa...shut up for a second and then explain to me what the problem is." I muttered placing my hands over my chest as she groaned sitting down, "The problem is that they've already left. Harry's stupid idea to get back at those dip-shits is gonna get them all killed." I raised a brow at her as I sat down next to her on the couch. "What plan?"

"I literally just fucking told you." she muttered looking up at me with a blank face. "I mean what is he going to do you idiot." I sighed as she stared angrily at the ceiling as if she was replaying some scenario in her head the entire time... Probably worried about Niall again. "They're going to do the job again, but they're trying to finish it."
I frowned biting down on my teeth, trying to withhold my anger, would they really be this stupid to follow in his footsteps again. It's like they don't have brains of their own to work with. "They literally almost died, why would they do it again?"
"I don't know. I needed you to try and speak to that idiot of yours, maybe try and convince him not to. Since he somehow listens to some things you say." she mumbled turning to me as I nodded, I guess I sort of agreed but not wholeheartedly on that subject. "Sorry I fell asleep on the roof,"

"You being serious?" she asked as I chuckled slightly, "Yes I am. I didn't mean to, I just went up there to think about things and the next thing I know you were yelling my name and I was ice cold."
"Well what are we going to do, how are we going to get them back? Can't you call and say there's an emergency here?" I asked as she looked to me, "Yeah, but I can't do that if there's nothing wrong Niall is going to be pissed off at me..."
"Then we make an actual problem. I can break your leg and we can say people broke in and then they hurt you but I managed to get away I mean I can scream on the phone too if you want." I suggested with a shrug as she stared at me. "I see we're getting over all the shitty ideas first." she mumbled rolling her eyes as I got up and poured myself some water. "Okay then. Uhm, how about we go after them. It's in town right, and I know my way around there if you know the address I can surely find the place before they get there. They'll only attack at nightfall." I muttered taking a sip as Abigail got up from her seat and made her way to the room. "What? Where are you going?" I asked as she continued walking to her room. "I'm getting my jacket it's cold out and it's almost dark so we've gotta be fast."
I nodded in response as I went outside, and she made her appearance beside me. "Let's go I'm ready."

We started walking to the town, luckily Abigail knew some shortcuts to get there. As we got to the street where the supposed house was, I noticed something extremely peculiar. The house wasn't as guarded as it seemed, and there were no guard dogs, from what I could remember Zayn had been bitten and the boys were attacked because the house was guarded up and they had a tough mission but now that I'm seeing the place it's oddly normal. Unless we got the address wrong. "Abby, how sure are you that this is the right place?" I asked as she shrugged, it's what they had given me.

"I'll ask around if there had been any new robberies that had occurred and where it was," I groaned as I went to the first house I could see and knocked carefully. "Hello?" I fair old lady answered the door with a small smile as I greeted her back. "Hi, uhm I'm just wondering, have there been any criminal activity happening around here recently?" I asked as she thought for a second. "Yes, actually. The man about two blocks away, directly on the corner had been broken into by a group of boys. Whole neighbourhoods on the lookout now." she sighed, "Thank you so much, it really means a lot." I smiled walking back to Abigail who had been waiting at the edge of the house. "Let's go I know where to go now."

As we walked to the second block, Abigail started to draw back a bit. "What? What's wrong?" I mumbled as she watched me walk forward. "Which house is it?" she frowned as I furrowed my eyebrows at her. "The one on the corner..." I answered carefully as her expression changed from worry to anger in a matter of seconds. "Abigail wha-"

I asked as she speedily walked past me. "That's one thing these assholes aren't going to get away with." she muttered gritting her teeth as she stormed towards the house. I ran after her as the darkness began to creep in. "What is going on?" I asked confused as she turned to me stopping dead in her tracks. "It's my grandfathers house." she concluded as she started walking again and I breathed out quickly. "What the fuck? Why are they breaking into your grandfather's house?"
"Because Harry's a fucking idiot! And Niall's fucking dead..." she blurted out clenching her fist as she went onto the property.
