(Louis' POV)

"But Sir.." Liam began. "How can we possibly find him? We have no leads?"

"We wait." Louis added. "Zayn thinks we have the ransom money.. He'll have to come and get it eventually."

"And you think he's just gonna show up in plain sight?" Niall scoffed. "No. He's smarter than that.."

"Well.." Liam shrugged. "If he really wants it. He'll come and get it."

"What if he doesn't care about the money?" Niall asked. "What if this is just a way to lure you in, Captain.."

Louis looked down at the floor.

"I mean.." He paused. "You did throw him overboard."

"He's right, Captain.. He did swear revenge on you when we threw him overboard." Liam said.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take.." The Pirate King muttered. "The day I let that lowlife scum sucker get the best of me is the day I die.."

They both nodded in agreement.

"Besides.." Louis continued. "If I don't do something.. Harry will die.."

"But Sir.." Niall grabbed his shoulder. "What if he's already dead?"

"You don't know that." Louis shook his head. "Zayn will come for the money.. and when he does I will be waiting for him.."

A snarl formed on the Captain's face.

"And he'll be sorry he ever fucked with me.."

"I hope you're right, Captain.." Liam grabbed his other shoulder. "I hope you're right.."

(Harry's POV)

Harry looked desperately into the ruthless pirates brown eyes.

The Prince let out a muffled groan as he attempted to speak.

"Oh.." Zayn cocked his head. "You want to speak?"

Harry nodded his head.

Zayn leaned in a little closer. "You want to speak, huh.."

He kept nodding his head, tears brimming around his eyes.

"You know who else would want to speak?" Zayn paused, Harry's eyes widened. "My entire fucking family that your father murdered in cold blood!!"

The Prince clenched his eyes shut. He tried to look away, but Zayn grabbed his face; angrily pulling his eyes back to his.

"You look at me when I'm talking to you!"

Harry unclenched his eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"I am going to kill you.." Zayn grunted, causing Harry's heart to drop. "That's one thing that I've already decided."

Zayn stood up, pacing back and fourth. "Unfortunately I will need to keep you alive a little longer to lure your precious Louis here.." Zayn sighed in a sarcastic manner. "For some reason that idiot of a Captain seems to have a thing for royal scum like you.."

Harry stared up at him, watching him pace.

"But as soon as that idiot comes looking for you.." Zayn leaned in again. "You're both dead."

Harry gulped. He couldn't help but sob uncontrollably.

Zayn grew annoyed as the Prince's weeping grew louder and louder.

"Stop it!"

He suddenly crouched down, yanking the cloth from Harry's mouth.

"I said, stop crying!" Zayn yelled. "Now!"

Harry gasped, coughing hysterically as he choked out. "I-I'm sorry! I-"

"Listen!" Zayn grabbed him by the collar. "I'm gonna go leave your precious Pirate King another little note. You better not do anything stupid while I'm gone or you'll be sorry.. Got it!?"

Harry nervously bit down on his lip.

"I said.." Zayn tugged on his shirt even harder. "Got it!?"

"Y-Yes!" Harry shouted. "I-I got it!"

"Good.."

Zayn tried lifting the cloth back up to his mouth.

"Wait! Wait!" Harry shouted. "You said you were gonna leave him a note?"

Zayn furrowed his brows. "Yeah?"

"Why?" Harry asked.

"So he can bring me the ransom money he got from the King." Zayn shrugged his shoulders. "Might as well try to get some money out of him before I kill him."

Harry looked around anxiously. He knew Louis had never received any ransom money from the King.

"Wait I-"

"I'll be back.." Zayn tied the cloth around his mouth once again, not letting him finish."Behave."

He walked up the stairs and out of the basement, leaving Harry alone in the darkness.
