Detective Malik (Z.M Fanfic)

Chapter 18.

"I remember something." Harry suddenly says interrupting Liam. That's when the passage in the wall closes up leaving us in the dark.

_________________________________________________________________________

"What the hell." I jump. I look around the room to be isolated in total darkness. I cant see anyone around me, i can only hear their harsh panicked breathing.

"WHO CLOSED UP THE DOOR?!" Louis shouts clearly panicked."WE'RE GOING TO DIE DOWN HERE!" Louis shouts again.

"We're not going to die down here Louis, just calm down for a second yeah?" I say in a calm voice. "There has to be some sort of light source around here somewhere." I mutter to myself trying to navigate myself through the dark room.

"Guys its okay, I have my phone." Liam says. Suddenly his flash light from his phone brightens up the room. I can finally see again. "Yeah that's a good idea." I say grabbing my phone from my back pocket and turning on the flashlight. I try to dial for help of any sort but its no use, theres no service.

"I have no connection." Liam says.

"Same.' I sigh.

"We're dead." Louis says running a hand through his hair.

"What about you Harry?" I question walking over to the curly haired boy. He shines his light to the corners of the room just observing it with a blank face. "Harry?" He looks at me still with that blank expression over his face.

"I-I remember this place." He says still looking around. I have completely forgotten Harry said he remembered something right before the door closed.

"What do you remember Harry?" I ask as he takes a seat on the cold cement ground. I sit next to him. Louis, and Liam look intently at Harry waiting for him to begin.

"This is where Niall and I were." he says looking down to the floor. "This is where that sick bastard kept Niall and I...also Drake." He scratches his head. "This was where Niall and I were held at before we escaped, back to the manor."

"But I thought you said you were in the basement over at your manor?" I question a bit confused.

"I was.. but before there, Niall and I were tied up in here..." He says. "I never noticed how familiar this flat looked like until earlier today.." he said getting up and walking around observing the place. He stops at a corner,and points over to it, there's a large cement pole. "We were both tied up there." He says. "I was barely conscious, Niall was keeping me awake trying to escape. Drake was over in that corner over there." He says pointing to another pole. "He was practically dead." He frowns. "The man.. that bastard came in and took drake with him... well dragged him." He says letting a tear fall. As soon as he left, Niall told me he cut through the rope letting us free,But we were trapped in here. that secret door was the only place to get out... or so we thought."

"How did you guys escape?" Liam asks. Harry turns over to him then to the rest of us. He starts walking over to the other half of the room and we follow. He stops abruptly at a old red mat on the ground.

"You see, as Niall and i were desperately trying look for an escape, i tripped over this mat and here we found a secret Little door leading underground." Harry says pulling the mat away revealing a door to the ground. "Its a tunnel leading to the mansion" He finally finishes.
