We burst through the doors like literal bad asses while running towards Louis who looked uncomfortable to say the least.
"We've got a breach" he said while looking pale.
WHAT.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry Ni, really. I wish I could've done more.." he trailed off
"Lou, what are you saying?"
"Her book. The last copy. It's.. sorry mate"
No. This isn't true. I can't..
I sprinted to the door jumping in the car. I was startled as I heard the other car door slam shut.
"Get out." I spat.
She said nothing, simply strapped herself in her seat belt and looked forward.
"Fine" I said, slamming on the gas pedal and flinging us forward in our seats and into the busy London Streets.
"FUCK."
Traffic, Of-fucking-course.
I slammed my fists on the steering wheel letting out a load groan.
"Ni, babe calm down. What's going on? why are you so angry? Can I do anything to calm you dow--"
"Nothing you say or do can fix anything now shut the fuck up and sit in that God Damned seat. Fuck." I interrupted.
The left wing of the library was destroyed.
"Oh God, no this can't be happening," I rushed to the front door. Catherine was in hysterics.
"I tried Niall. I'm so sorry. I couldn't..I wish.." she trailed.
Now, here's the thing most people don't understand. Cathy is in her mid thirties, but she is lean and fit. She was trained as a 'guardian' for our archives and the book.
I pulled her into a hug, "You couldn't have know Cathy. Would you mind if I took a look?"
She nodded and stepped aside. she turned her head and saw Cassy.
"What is she doing here? Niall get her away from this place, I mean it. You're mother woul--"
"Don't talk about my mother, especially when the only thing I had left of her is gone."
She walked past me and made a point to bump shoulders with Cassy.
I shook my head and walked to the rubble. Pages of books and chunks of wood from all the shelves blanketed the ground.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw it. The cover had been the only surviving piece.
You see, back before my mom had die-- passed, she had written a book. She was meant to promote it before everything happened, but ultimately it only sold 2 copies in 3 stores in the UK. 1 of which was destroyed. I kept my copy in the Library for safekeeping.
I grabbed the cover, closed my eyes and held it to my chest, "I'm sorry mom. I should've been more careful."
I felt a hand on my shoulder and almost forgot Cassy was there.
"Let's go," I said.
Ni, do you wanna tal-"
"No, now let's go."
"No."
"If you're not in that car in the next 30 seconds I'm leaving without you."
She stood in her spot and glared at me as I walked away.
"I'm not going anywhere with you, asshole. I've been nothing but nice to you and you're being an ass."
I ignored her and jammed the key into the car. If she's going to be a stubborn little bitch, I'm not going to stand around and get frustrated.
After I got home I went to the picture in my bathroom and took it down from the wall. I unlocked the safe that was behind the picture and placed the cover of the book inside.
I felt guilty about Cassy. Oh God, Cassy. I'm such an ass.
I grabbed my phone and called Louis.
"Lou, I need you to look up Cassidy's file."
"Why would I do that?"
"Louis please, I don't have time for this just do it and give the address of her hotel."
"Alright, Christ. Looks like its 2 blocks down from your flat, mate. At the London Isle"
wonderful. Going into Enemy-fucking-territory. We had the library but the Italians had a base in Central London to make it harder to plan an attack.
"Great," I muttered, "Thanks mate."
I hung up and grabbed my keys and wallet. I can't just leave things like this. I'm a gentleman..or at least that's what my mom raised me to be.
I'm coming Cassy.
