Chapter 5

~And now I'm one step closer to being,

Two steps far from you~

The next day, Liam and Louis were sitting on the couch and Louis was questioning everything. "What do we do? Do we tell Zayn?"

"I don't know if it'll matter all that much." Liam sighed.

"Maybe it'll matter enough. He'll think that he doesn't know Luke all that well, and reconsider marriage?" Louis got up to make himself a cup of tea.

Liam sighed. Again. "Maybe the least we can do is warn Zayn. He may think that we're lying if we outright tell him.

Louis grabbed his phone.

L: Do you know where Luke works?

Z: All Star Security in London.

L: Do you know what he does there?

Z: He's a security guard? That's a dumb question, Louis. What is this about?

L: I've heard fishy things about All Star...

Z: screw you

He showed Liam the conversation. "So that's how that went."

"We need evidence!" Liam exclaimed.

"Yeah. I mean money laundering is a big deal."

"So is bank robbery, Louis. I think this makes us hypocrites."

"Let's do it, anyways, Liam. Do something right with our lives for once. Help the people who have had money stolen from them, finally. We could uncover this ring, and stop Zayn from marrying Luke!"

"Why does that sound like the plot to a bad rom-com?"

"Harry loves rom-coms! Let's see if he'll help us." Louis yelled his boyfriend's name, and was surprised to see him already coming down the hallway, keys in hand.

"Whatever you're doing, I don't care. I'm going to help Zayn find Niall, bye." Harry gave this speech as he walked out the front door.

"Just us then. Okay." Liam smiled. "I don't feel good about this. I don't want to ruin Zayn's happiness again."

"We won't get Luke arrested or anything like that. We leave his information out of it all, and we just expose the company, and then Zayn will be like dude, wow. The heck is up with that."

"This is a very flawed plan." Liam started biting his nails then.

"No, it's gucci. Let's go." Louis started putting on his shoes, gathering his cigarettes, etc. Liam questioned where they were going. "To the store. We need milk."

---

At the store, Liam bought himself a package of cookies that he wasn't planning on sharing. "Do you want to go no a run or something? Would that be more stress-releasing? You can use my gym membership."

"I want cookies." Liam said. "And my dog."

"But I have dogs at my house." Louis said. "They love you."

"Can we go to the Humane Society? I want to see the dogs."

"I'm worried about you." Louis grabbed the needed milk, and some more tea bags, and then they checked out, headed to the car.

"Is, is that a no then?" Liam re-asked as they left.

"There's not one close by. There's one in Holmes Chapel. We'll go when we're up there this weekend."

"Yes." Liam smiled, his mouth full of cookies. "I love dogs."

Louis coughed uncomfortably. "Yes. I know."
