Catch me if you can [NARRY AU]

Chapter forty-six - part one

Putting my notes here now! I wanted to tell you thank you so so much for 2k votes, it means a lot! I feel like I'm stalling this story because the end is so close, sigh. I can't believe it, this story was my first, I feel like it's my baby, Awake is it's big brother, and Earthquake the unknown son like the second son of Will Smith. Anyway, this chapter is part one, part two will come up soon ( I hope) xx

U N E D I T E D

Fuck. Double fuck. Triple fuck.

This wasn't supposed to happen. I turned to Zayn, who still looked shocked but also calm and I really needed him to learn me how to do that because I was sure my expression was just shock all over. I always knew in the back of my mind they would do this, but always pushed it away because at the time there were more important things to think about. I felt nails push into my palm and looked down to see I had balled my fists.

"Maybe because he lived in Ireland at the time?" Zayn tried, but Wells shook his head.

"It shouldn't matter where he lived, we can trace everyone if we want." He stated, and I was sure I heard Louis mumble a 'clearly' under his breath, which made me smile.

"Hasn't Niall told you anything about his past then?" Liam asked. I could tell he was nervous, but I wasn't sure Wells did.

"No. Everytime we would ask him he would tell us to...back off. Even if he told us, we still needed to track him to see if he isn't lying." He said, and I knew the hesitation in his voice was because Niall didn't tell him a nicely 'back off' but more a 'fuck the fuck off' or something like that. I sighed. Minutes ago I was so happy that maybe we could help Niall, but now all that seemed lost. If we hired a lawyer now, the police would definitely notice something wasn't right, and they were not mistaken because it wasn't. Nothing was alright.

"We know that you, Zayn, were with him before you two arrived in England. I would have to talk to you in private to discuss that. Harry, Liam, Louis, you are free to go, for now. Please stay in town, so we can question you further if we need to." Wells said and stood up to let us out. I turned my head to Zayn and saw all kinds of emotions over his face. Liam had grabbed his hand and refused to let go. Louis and I had stood up already.

"Liam?" Wells asked, but Liam shook his head. Zayn had an unreadable expression on his face.

"I'm not leaving him here, he hasn't done anything wrong." Liam stated, his voice wavering a bit but it was also full of determination. Wells let out a sigh, clearly annoyed. I looked at my best friend questionably, but he refused to look anywhere but Zayn's face. I could see from here that they had a death grip on each other.

"Liam I still need you to leave. If Zayn hasn't done anything wrong than this won't take long." Wells said, and I knew Liam'a actions were raising suspicion but to cut in now wouldn't help the case. Liam sent Wells a death glare, but Zayn raised up his other hand to stroke his cheek.

"I'll be back to you in a second." He said, and I didn't believe him. I don't think he even believed himself. Nevertheless, Liam sighed and pressed a kiss against the back of his hand before he let go. He stood up and walked over to us, sending Wells another glare before walking out of the room.

I really wanted to see Niall, knowing he was just a few doors and halls away from me, but I didn't want to disturb his session with his psychiatrist. It was weird that I was pining for three months to see him and now it was my own choice not to. Actually, this whole morning has been weird. We got called down to the bureau to come and ten minutes later we're without Zayn and with more insecurity about this case. Defeatedly, we walked to the car and got in, Liam driving as usual. I didn't think that was such a good idea at the moment, but when we arrived at the hotel ten minutes later, it showed I didn't need to worry. We dragged ourselves out the car and walked to Liam and Zayn's shared room, which was next to mine. Liam let us in and I sat down on the small couch with Louis next to me. Liam threw his body on the bed.
