"I'm going to fucking kill him." I growled with anger pulsing from deep down in my chest.

"Liam, calm down." Niall whispered calmly placing his hand on my shoulder. At his touch I grabbed his hand twisting his arm and whipping it forcefully behind his back.

Slamming him up against the wall in front of us I leaned into his back. "Don't tell me to calm down!" I hissed in his ear. Louis pulled me back trying to get me to release Niall but I jabbed my elbow into his chest then pulled him under my arm into a headlock.

I let go of Niall's arm using my hand to punch Louis in the mouth. Feeling my release Niall shoved off the wall against me. I kicked my foot into his back slamming him back into the wall.

Dropping Louis from my grasp I redirected my attention back to Niall. "You want to tell me to calm down again?" I snapped spinning him around to face me.

Louis punched my leg forcing me to my knee as Niall swung his fist missing my head by inches. I returned the punch to Louis as blood spurted from his nose.

Niall lunged at me shoving me down flat on my back. The momentum of his force carried me over as I somersaulted him over the top of me slamming him into the coffee table behind us.

Another hand grabbed my shoulder as I turned shoving Danielle off of me. Realizing who it was I hestitated until Niall climbed on my back again.

My rage was at and all time high, like the hulk, I flipped Niall over my back slamming him into the ground beside Dani. It felt good to throw punches, I was blind with anger and I didn't care who I hurt.

I stepped forward to attack again but stopped with a jolt hearing the gun sound, suddenly feeling a burn against my arm, the bullet grazing my skin. I glanced up to the door seeing Harry pointing his gun at me. "Next one goes in your chest." He threatened.

Suddenly Zayn stepped in between us. "Drop it Styles." He commanded aggressively. The sound of other guests opening their doors to investigate the sound of gunshots in the hall echoed around the hotel. "Go explain the shots to the staff." Zayn nodded as Harry reluctantly holstered his weapon.

Turning back to me Zayn checked my wound as Niall, Louis and Dani all slowly rose from their spots on the ground. "Feel better?" Zayn asked me.

"No." I growled closing my fists still feeling the anger pulsing through me. "Not even a little."

"Well I have something that may cheer you up better than beating up on your friends." I glanced past him to Niall who was glaring at me. Louis was checking on Dani who was equally as concerned with his bloody nose.

"I'm listening."

"I might have a lead on where they're keeping Emma." Zayn smiled. I shook my head gawking at him.

"How?"

"That video. There wasn't much to go off of but I think I can triangulate her location based off of the window behind her."

"Window?" I frowned I was so tunnel vision to seeing Emma I didn't notice anything elae besides her in the video.

"She was laying on a bed, behind the bed was a small window high on the wall behind her." He reminded me.

I shook my head still confused about what he was talking about. "Ok?"

"It looked like one of those windows you find to let light in for basements."

"So she is locked away in a basement somewhere. There are millions of basements in London Zayn, how is that helpful?" I spat harshly.

"Because out the window is a bridge." Zayn pointed to the screen. I stepped forward squinting at the window which looked completely washed out from what I could tell in the picture.

"I only see white."

"Its faint-" Zayn tapped the keys on the board and the image zoomed into the window. Clicking some more keys I watched as he applied darkening filters to the white. Miraculously a faint outline of a bridge came into focus. "Here, see?"

"Can you tell which bridge that is?"

"I can't but the computer can and it already did in fact." Zayn announced eagerly pressing the enter button. A new screen showed a actual picture of the bridge. "From the direction of the view from the window and the size of the bridge we can determine an approximate location."

"You can do all that?"

"I like to watch crime shows, turns out they aren't so far fetched."

"This is amazing Zayn!" I exclaimed happily. "Do you know where yet?"

"She should be anywhere between here and here." He pointed to the map which highlighted a section of a neighborhood. "So give or take 20 basements, not a million."

I reached up grabbing him bu the face planting a massive kiss to his forehead. "Thank you!"

Shoving me off of him with a laugh. "Thank me when we get her back and slap some cuffs on your boy Trey ok?"

"You got it!" I nodded happily.

Harry had returned to the room shutting the door behind him with a loud thud. "Staff is taken care of." He sighed heavily. Ignoring him I walked over to Niall.

"You touch me and I will end you." He growled as I approached. Dropping my head in embarrassment, ashamed of how I treated him, Louis and Dani moments ago.

"I have no doubt you would right now." I smiled. "I'm sorry, I don't have any excuse to act like that, I'm just beyond mad right now."

"I get it." Niall nodded. "Without Emma around you've always been a total douche."

I laughed as he smiled at me. "That's fair. She is the best of me."

"Way back before you guys were an item I never understood the attraction between you two. I mean i get opposites attract but you guys were beyond opposites, there was something so magical in every way you were different, it was like you were counterparts."

"I loved her from the beginning." I whispered.

He smiled with a heavy exhale of breath. "Pretty sure she hated you instantly."

He was right, I nodded agreeing with him. "Emma likes rescuing things. Especially when the world has cast them aside to be forgotten. Something society has deemed to broken. I think thats what she liked about me. I was that broken boy who knocked on her door and hid behind my anger. She saw right through me."

"You let her in, or she pried her way into your heart, either way she is the best thing I've ever known for you."

"I need her back." I whimpered softly. "Without her I'm still that broken boy. She is my strengh, she's my rock."

"We're going to get her back." Niall assured me looping his arm around my neck for a hug. "Don't you fucking lose hope."

"I'm so tired." I admitted. "I'm tired of the struggle, tired of losing everyone around me."

"Hey, listen to me, you keep fighting. You fight for her. You have to fight for both of them!" Niall hissed through gritted teeth.

"I love Emma. I will never stop searching for her." I told him. "For years I've been stuck in this limbo of trying to live my life and running from my past. I'm done running. If Trey wants a war then I'm going to give him one."
