Chapter 25

~When the air ran out and we both started running wild~

Louis got out of the car, his grasshopper mocha spilling over the driveway. "SIMON!" He screamed, tearing into the house at full speed. Niall was right on his heels, drink intact. Perrie stayed in the car for a second before following at a relaxed pace.

"Simon," Louis said, panting as he burst into his office. Simon had a grave look upon his face, and his hands were folded. He simply turned his monitor around, where it showed the street cams. He backed it up, and then hit play while the three of them watched.

Harry hit another car while trying to avoid the cops. The flashy suburban flipped twice before settling in the dust. Louis tried to hold back all emotion; Niall held his hand, trying to hold out hope.

Ten seconds later, Hailee crawled out of the window that was cracked next to the ground. It was clear that she was in pain - she screamed, but there was no audio. After she got out, she pulled Zayn out. Niall and Louis sighed - at least Zayn was okay; he was the baby, after Niall. Zayn pleaded with Hailee, but she dragged him off as the cops converged on the car.

As they got out of their cars, waiting for signs of life, a foot stuck out of the windshield. As his body slithered out, it was Liam. He quickly pulled Luke out of the car, and Luke knocked an officer out and the two of them ran on foot, in a different direction than the other two had gone in. More officers chased them on foot.

But Harry and Palmer were still in the car. And no one else got out. The police eventually advanced, and after a couple minutes of non-movement, ambulances and fire trucks arrived. "Oh god." Louis sobbed. Niall sobbed too, letting go of Louis' hand.

"Palmer, oh my god." Perrie said.

Harry was put on a stretcher first. His face was marred by cuts, and arm was at a weird angle. "Harry." Louis sobbed. "Oh my god, Harry."

Then Palmer was pulled out; he had been trapped in the back, unable to get out. They immediately stabbed him with a sedative, and he was on a stretcher too. Two ambulances left, and thus the part of the street cams that concerned them was done. "They were taken to the nearest hospital. They are there now."

"What do we do?" Niall asked, moving closer to Louis, who had been silent. Louis just put his head in his hands. Perrie was quiet, but not emotional like the other two.

Simon was at a loss for words, turning his monitor back, but he didn't type anything. "I'm sorry." He said, his voice shaking. He truly felt bad about the situation too, and Louis didn't want to blame him like he did a couple minutes ago. He knew that the plan was flawless; there were just unaccountable variables.

"Time to go save them, boys." Hailee said, walking in. Her hair was matted down in one place with blood, and a meekish Zayn followed her in the room.

"Hey, Niall." He said, trying to restraint his excitement to see his friend because of the situation.

"We can't just save them." Simon exclaimed, the ultimate project planner.

"That's exactly what we're going to do." She grinned. There was a lot of doubt, but no one disputed her.
