Detective Malik (Z.M Fanfic)

Chapter 3.

"So what do you say Zayn?" Louis questions folding his arms. With a smirk playing on his lips. I think we both know the answer to this.

"We're going to Holmes Chapel." I smirk, and Louis grins.

"Detective Malik is back!" He cheers and we both high five each other. "Just be careful Zayn.. You know what has been happening to those detectives." He frowns, with a worried expression on his face.

I give him a slight smile. "Don't worry Lou, I'll be careful. I promise." I smile.

"Okay." He says showing off a small smile. "So when are we going?" He questions. I tap my chin.

"Mmm.. How about end of this week? Is that enough time to get everything put together?"

"Of course, I just need to call the head quarters over in Holmes Chapel, and notify them you want to work on the case, then afterwards, I'll book the tickets and where we will be staying at, plus I need to find someone to look over my flat, I mean apartment and my dog Charlie." He rambles on.

"Okay Lou, now all I need to do is notify Perrie.. I don't know if she should tag along with us.. I mean.. I don't want her to get hurt.. This could be the most dangerous case of them all Lou." I bite my lip.

"Don't worry Zayn, it's Perrie, she won't mind.. Much." He chuckles a bit.

"Yeah." I chuckle. "Okay so let's call it quits yeah? we got to get prepared for our soon to be trip at Holmes chapel." I say grabbing my coat and shrugging it on.

"Sure thing Zayn." He nods putting on his coat as well.

"For how long?" Perrie frowns. I wrap my arms around her waist.

"For a couple of months babe..."

"Oh." She frowns again. "But Zayn I heard of this case! This is just too dangerous."

"Don't worry Perrie everything will be fine I promise alright?" I say kissing the tip of her nose making her giggle.

"Do you promise to call everyday?"

"Yes, I promise." I smile over at her. "I also promise that after this case I'll take some more time off."

"Really?" She grins.

"Yes." I grin back at her. She leans in and kisses me on my lips making me smile.

"I love you." She smiles.

"I love you more." I smile back at her.

*Zayns Apartment; 1:30am*

I toss and turn in bed. Not seeming to be able to sleep at all. I just can't seem to stop thinking about the Black Hill Manor case.. There's just something off about it. There just got to be something missing. What am I saying? Of course something's missing! I haven't even started the case officially yet!

"Get it together Zayn." I mutter putting a hand through my hair. I look over to Perrie who's sound asleep. I smile at the image of her before getting up from the bed.

I make my way towards the kitchen and decide to make myself some tea. As I wait by the stove waiting for the water to heat up, my eyes wander over to the dining room table where my brief case is at containing the file of articles Louis gave me yesterday.

I bite my lip, debating whether or not I should take another look at the file, because once I do, I know I won't be able to fall back asleep.

"Ah, fuck it." I say to myself walking quickly to my brief case. I open it up and pull out the file and set it down on the table before returning back to finishing preparing my tea.

After I finished making my tea, I take a seat at the table skimming through at the articles. While rereading all the papers again I notice that all of them are written by one man named Liam Payne. Who is this Liam Payne?

Before I come up with a few a more conclusions I decide to do some research on this fellow. I quickly go on my laptop and type his name in my search engine. Almost immediately a bunch of links show up.

Liam Payne: local Holmes chapel writer.

Well that pretty much answers my question on who he is. Well it was a no brainer actually but my real question is, why is he the only one who has attempted to write articles on Black Hill Manor?

I'll make sure to give Louis a call, and have him do a background research on Mr. Payne.

After I'm done with my little research of Mr. Payne, I decide to look up on the victims.

The first one on my list is Harry Styles.

Harry Edward Styles Black Hill Manor survivor.

Harry Edward Styles was one of the 3 victims of Black Hill Manor. He is the only one who is known. To have survived the attack.

Sadly after he awoke from his a comatose state he couldn't remember anything that happened during that weekend.

Harry styles is currently 21 years old, still living in Holmes Chapel in his own flat.

His best friend Niall Horan has still not been found to this day.

Something seems off about this kid. Millions of questions go through my head, but only two questions stand out from the rest.

Why is he the only survivor?

How come he can't remember anything during that one weekend?

This all just seems really suspicious to me.

I write down each and every question down on my little black note pad. I let out a frustrated sigh. I look at the time and it's nearly 4:00am.

I decide to save more of my investigation for when I wake up later.

I let out a tired yawn, and head back into my bedroom. Perrie is still sound asleep. As I lay down beside her there is just one question that is flooding my mind.

Niall where are you?
