"What is this place?" Louis asks looking around the long narrow tunnel. There's lanterns up on the sides of the walls. Someone was here before us.

"I don't Louis.." I mutter. "But we're about to find out." We walk through the long narrow tunnel hall. We finally reach the end, and it splits into two different halls.

"Okay." I say. "You take the right hall, I'll take the left."

"What?!" Louis whisper shouts. "What if the mad man comes back, finds us and kills us?!

"Louis..."

"Haven't you seen those movies?! NEVER SPLIT UP! I DONT WANT TO DIE ZAYN I DONT..."

I cover my hand over his mouth to make him stop talking. I let out a sigh with my hand still over his mouth.

"Louis, nothing will happen. Besides if anything happens just scream for help and I'll be there In no time alright?"

He looks at me in the eyes for a second and nods.

"Okay good." I say taking my hand off his mouth. "We'll meet back here in ten minutes, and be careful."

"Alright Zayn, same to you."

I walk through the left tunnel hall way. It's complete darkness. Only a few lanterns can barely lit up the place. I squint in the dark when an iron door captures my attention at the very end of the hall. I walk slowly and cautiously, being aware of any noise.

As I finally make it to the iron door I try the door knob. Locked. Of course it's locked. I suddenly I get an idea and grab my pocket knife and begin to pick the lock. As soon as I hear that click, the door creaks open. The room is filled with darkness as I enter.

The room smells of metallic old iron.

I grab the flash light from my pocket and look through the room.

What stands before me is awful.

Blood spattered everywhere. Only dry blood. Torture devices all scattered around also.

I think I just found the room Drake Rivers was tortured in.. And maybe Niall Horan too?

"Holy shit." Someone suddenly says behind me, startling the living shit out of me. I turn around.

"Jesus fucking Christ." I say noticing it's Louis. He stands in front me with his eyes wide, scanning around the room.

"So you found the room." He says looking around. I nod.

"Guess so." I say. "Louis can you take a few pictures of the room and collect DNA Samples of this blood?"

"Of course." He says grabbing his items. He soon starts taking pictures of the crime scene. Meanwhile he's busy, I take out my phone and Diall up Liam.

LIAM: hey Zayn I got the note, have you found anything?

ZAYN: yes, we think we may have found the room Drake Rivers and Niall Horan were tortured in..

LIAM: Holy shit really?

ZAYN: yes, and I need you to drive over to the clearing, make sure to take the cops with you.

LIAM: Alright I'll be there with the cops as soon as I can.

We soon said our goodbyes and I hanged up the phone. I look over to Louis who's done taking the pictures, and collecting the DNA samples.

We walk out of the room and close the door behind us. "So what did you find inbyour hall?" I ask Louis.

"That reminds me, turns out I found a surveillance room."

"Surveillance room?" He nods.

"We were being watched the whole entire time while at the flat and the manor."

"Well fuck."

We walk down the other hall and approach the surveillance room.

We look at the monitors and the stack of tapes next to it. "Hey look." Louis says grabbing a tape labeled the date we first visited the manor. He puts it in the video player and the video soon starts playing. It shows Louis and I walking around the manor looking for evidence. Suddenly there's a man in the tape who walks through the front door as Louis and I were upstairs looking through the rooms. The man sets the paper down on the ground and then slams the door as loud as he can and runs out.

"Wait go back." I tell him. Louis pauses the video and rewinds it. "Now play zoom in and play it frame by frame." He nods doing what I told him.

The mans face is visible.

Clear as day.

I was right.

Samuel Joseph.

"Louis I was right, it's the man from the bar!"

"Oh my god.." He takes the tape out and puts it back in the stack. We decide we'll be back here later after the cops come.

"Let's go, Liam must be waiting for us outside right now."

"Alright." Louis says.

"Well look what we have here." A voice booms from behind us. An American accent.

Louis and I both turn around to find Samuel with a large smirk plastered on his lips.
