liam, 18
zayn, 21

two days before zayn's release

liam and niamh were just talking, catching up on everything liam has always wanted to say throughout the school years. stuff about who got on his nerves, the teachers that were always that bit annoying about how to try and communicate with others and so on.

the door then opened and in came scotty and louis, smiling widely and laughing loudly. both liam and niamh gave them confused looks, "what did you guys do?"

"we got all we need to get zayn out!" louis started and scotty nodded, "we just need to take it to the police and get them to investigate it. that should only take the rest of the day and boom, zayn is out tomorrow."

"a-are you guys sure? i don't want to have all this hope, for them to not think i-it's enough." liam asked them and louis comes to sit next to him, putting his arm around his shoulders. "trust us, bro. we've got this in the bag."

"so... what exactly did you find out and who did you get it out from?" niamh next questioned and the two boys just smirked.

"we have our ways."

niamh gave them a glare, especially scotty. "what did you do?" she asked again, more sternly this time.

"you've got a tough one, man." louis went silent after he got a glare from her too and scotty came to sit with them. "okay, okay! well..."

"you guys got lucky. but we're sorry that is how it happened. he is no longer going to be allowed in the force." mack, the guard who liam wanted to be with them during this, since he was the one he most trusted, after all that has happened. even though he isn't exactly the police, he was connected in some way and with the case.

"thanks, man. hey, what if i could join? i'd be so good." mack and another few guards looked to louis, as if he was crazy. "what? just a suggestion."

"yeah, don't think so."

"u-uh, when we see zayn.. he doesn't know i've started talking so like, can you please not say anything? not like you probably would, i just want to surprise him later, is all." mack smiled at liam's words and patted his shoulder, "sure buddy."

a buzz sound was made and a figure came through the door.

"w-what!?"

zayn was in shock. like, he knew that scotty and louis were going to try help him get out, with what louis had told him before he left. but he didn't know that fast.

the guard raised his eyebrows, "what? you want to stay for longer? that can be arranged." he joked, but also serious.

zayn tried to hold back rolling his eyes, and just followed the guard to wherever he was being taken.

"sign some of these papers and we'll get you your clothes." zayn did as told and gee, he had no clue there were this many papers to read and sign. however he still read over them properly but quickly, getting it all signed and then changed into the clothing he came in with.

"well, thanks for nothing." zayn told the two guards that escorted him, to which they just rolled their eyes and pressed the buttons for the door to open. a loud buzz noise sounding.
