Stepdad Styles

Chapter 21

Niall lead the way back downstairs, a hand had slipped into mine along the way whom I assumed belonged to Harry. The air was thick and my breathing was cut short as we rounded the corner after the last step.

"Where is she?" Harry asked, his hand squeezing mine.

I looked around the room to see it was packed with officers and men in various uniforms. Only one walked up to us, his lips pulled into a small frown, he was the only man who to wear a white shirt.

"Hello, I'm Captain Rodney Walters we have found the location of your daughter." The man stuck his right hand out introducing himself, I tried to wriggle my hand from Harry's but for some reason he would not let go. With a huff of defeat I shook the captains right hand with my left. Very awkward if I may say so, but the humor behind his eyes showed he didn't mind.

"If you know where she is, why isn't she here? I don't understand." Harry practically barked at the captain, being fairly rude.

"I'm sorry sir, we are doing our best, if I could have a word with the victims parents you can ask one of them. Nothing personal son, just policy."

"Policy?" Harry scoffs. "Listen here you-"

"Officer." I cut Harry off. "I mean, captain... Harry and I are her parents."

The captain looked from Harry and then back to me before nodding.

"Okay, well.. Let's step outside." Those words were gentle and near whisper, whatever he was going to tell us couldn't be good. With heavy feet we followed the captain towards Nialls front door, Niall stayed back in the living room pleading me to tell him everything when I returned.

"I'm sorry you both have to go through this, it's a traumatic time for anyone exper-"

"Yeah okay, cut the sh!t talk and tell us where our daughter is and why you aren't saving her right now!" Harry had snapped, the captain seemed to not mind as he sighed before continuing.

"We are doing the best we can. Now listen carefully, he has taken her back to his mothers house. The doors have been sealed shut, the windows have been covered and when we dare tried to enter he threatened.."

"What?" I asked, my first time speaking in a while.

"He threatened to cut.. Her throat.. We can't go in there yet."

A gasp fell through my tight lips, Harry's arm let go of my hand and coiled around my body to bring him into his side.

"There has to be something we can do." Harry says.

"I'm sorry, the best we can do is wait for him to come out to supply himself with food."

"This is outrageous!" Harry screamed. "You think we will just sit back and wait? What if he kills her? Rapes my 4 year old daughter? You can just expect me to sit here and do nothing! There has to-"

"Harry!" I shout. "Breathe." I demand. He shoots me an angry look before sighing out his nose.

"That's all we can do." The captain says whole heartedly, he dips his head down towards us and walks back inside.

"Oh f*ck him. 'Thats all we can do' bullsh!t" he mocks him. "We are doing something about this, come on." Harry removes his arm and begins to head towards the sidewalk.

"With what ride? We came in cabs! You're crazy and thinking irrational. We should sit down and-" Harry looks as if he's had enough and talks right over me.

"And what! Hazel? And what? Wait for him to do his dirty work. That man is psycho and has our daughter in his reach. I will not rest until my daughter is back in my arms. You stay here if you-"

"Take my rental." Nialls voice sounds from behind us, we spin around together to face him.

"Mate!" Harry grins.

"I'm coming with." Niall throws Harry the keys and grins at me.

--Harry--

"So, What's your plan, Harry?" Niall asks from the passenger seat.

"We-.. Uh.. I don't know.." I really have not a clue.

"I have an idea. Sort of." He nudges my arm for approval.

"Let's hear it." I grin.

"Okay, so Hazel rejected him and made him go bat sh!t crazy. So maybe.. Just hear me out and don't get mad... She can explain to him that it was a mistake leaving him and beg for him to let her in. She can unlock a door or window and we can carry on with the rescue."

Going it over through my mind seemed to be reasonable but my heart and soul just wouldn't reason with it. "No." I say firmly.

"Okay, bro. Just an idea." Niall shrugs.

"Actually." Hazel perks up from the backseat. "I'll do it." She nods confidently.

"No way in he-"

"It's the only way. I would sacrifice anything for my daughter. Anything." Hazel talks over me, not taking my no seriously.

This can't end well.

A\N: this is short and probably horrible but the show- eer book must go on!
