Day 2 – 26 hours into the heist (Friday, 21st, 1:30pm)

They're let out of the rooms they've slept in at 12pm to go to the bathrooms, five at a time, and by the time they're served lunch (Chinese food-God knows whey they get all the food from), it's way past 1pm.

"Listen up." Mercury says once they're all done with eating and drinking water. "I know you all need some fresh air, so we're going to split into groups and go out on the roofs."

Harry turns his head to look at Niall, just to see if he's okay. They're split into four groups of ten people each, because the factory workers and the warehouse workers are still downstairs printing money with Silver.

"Iron, go with Hydrogen's group." Mercury tells Iron. "I think you need to keep an eye out for Styles."

Harry makes a face he hopes Mercury can't see, because honestly. These guys have fucking guns and there are probably snipers up on the roof and they expect him to act out? In all fairness, he has stolen a fucking gun away from Louis in the last 10 hours, but that's not the point. He'd never do anything to anger Mercury, that's for sure.

Niall is in his group once again, so Harry makes sure to stand next to him as they're handed the masks once they're up on the last floor, ready to go out on the roof.

"Put your masks on and behave, otherwise you won't breathe fresh air for the next eight days." Iron says, and it's a slip of the tongue, because Harry now knows they're planning on finishing the heist in the next eight days.

Three of the hostages get unloaded guns so they can't tell the hostages apart from the heist men, of course, and then Iron opens the door.

Harry never knew he'd need fresh air as much as he does now. Never knew he'd be this happy to be out in the open. He can see snipers on the rooftops of the buildings next to the Bank of England so he tries his best to act like he had nothing to do with the heist. Which is actually the truth, but they're all wearing red suits and masks, so there is no way for the snipers to know who's who.

He's sitting next to Niall on the ground. He could tell it's him because he's the only one who has custom made Converse.

"I tried to steal a gun last night." He confesses to Niall, and Harry can imagine how his eyes widen in shock under the mask.

"Oh my God!"

"Shh." Harry shushes him when he sees Louis (he must be Louis, because he's smaller than the other hostages up on the roof) turn his head in their direction.

Niall looks at Louis before he turns his head back to Harry. "And how did it go? Are you fuckin' crazy mate?"

Harry shakes his head. "Um...Hydrogen was sleeping and I actually got the gun but he woke up."

"And what did he do?"

"Took the gun back."

Niall shakes his head. "You're crazy, I swear to God. Don't pull stunts like that Harry, they're going to kill you."

"I'm pretty sure they've got a certain set of rules and one of them is not to kill hostages."

"They're literally keeping sixty-seven hostages trapped like rats while they wave their AK-47's around. I don't think they'll hesitate killing someone as long as it means their plan is going to work out."
