I know. You're confused. At first, so was I. Let me take you back to when I read the files I found on Gorden's office. The first file I opened was the one with my mom's last name on it, followed with the two other names. You should've seen my face. I couldn't believe the words I was reading.

"October 28, 2014: Three girls (Bo Ellis, Jamie Solis, Tessa Young) were found skinned alive outside a farm in Seattle, Washington. Sources say that the victims were found a few days later after the incident, when the owner of the farm son, Ashton Irwin, decided to take his dog for a walk. The dog then found the already rotted bodies laying next to the farm along with Jason Anders, known as "Jace" a well know racer at Jackon's, who was found dead at the scene. Officials reported that Jason did in fact commit suicide and murder."

He killed three girls. He didn't just kill my mom, but he killed three other innocent lives.

"Three other suspects have been reported and are currently on watch for at all times. A man by the name of Harry Styles, who had been recently contacting Jason before the homicide occurred. The twenty three year old had also been keeping contact with a man by the name of Louis Tomlinson, who worked as a private investigator for Seattle's police station. Louis Tomlinson was also in contact with a twenty-one year old named Payton Cooke, who officials believe was Louis' girlfriend. As of now no recent updates are available and the case is still unsolved. Below are pictures of the suspects. If seen call the number above this article."

I remember looking at the pictures. The article was in an old newspaper. It was printed in 2014, so it was torn up and in black and white. The pictures were lined in alphabetical order. Cooke, Styles, and Tomlinson, like the file I found.

Cooke, Styles, and Tomlinson weren't their names. It was their last names. I was on to something, something I didn't know would lead me here, where I am today. After getting information on Styles, Tomlinson, and Cooke, I moved on to more complex tasks. It was time for me to get some real answers. Which is why I talked to Gorden the following day. I walked into his office and told him everything I knew. How my dad had been lying to me, how it wasn't just my mom involved in the murder, everything.

So we made a deal.

He was to send me to London so that I could work with Bond and in return I promised to keep my mouth shut. My dad could basically break him. Everything I knew was "confidential" stuff, so Gorden could pretty much be fired for breaking that commitment. For a year, I managed to help Bond keep an eye on Styles. He has had him in surveillance for almost five years now, but was waiting for the "perfect" time to attack. In the mean while, he informed me about a certain Paulina Martinez, who was believed to be a suspect, but ended up being innocent and now is married to some rich man and travels the world attending fashion shows and stuff like that. He also told me about Rose Winters, who had been one of the lucky few to escape Harry or in this case, "Edward".

I found out that, Harry was demented. Full out psychotic. For years he's been suffering from multiple personality disorder and that "Edward", the character his mind made up, was responsible for all the murders. At twenty-four, he was thrown into an insane asylum called Wickendale, which is in Birmingham, and escaped a few months later. Turns out that "Edward" tried to kill Rose Winters, who was a worker there at the time, but managed to survive. Ten years down the road, she died due to a fire that just burst into flames one night. The fire was caused by a leakage of gas, from her stove, which was cut before the house burned down. Bond told me that her face was burned in hot boiling water before her house burnt down. Bond also told me that he knew for sure Harry was behind this. 

But get this, Max, the other guy I work with, was ready to get married to his fiancee, Lori. He's worked as a cop his whole life, but never wanted justice more in his life after his wife was electrified till death, before having their house burn down too. Only this time, Louis Tomlinson was behind this case. Apparently Louis wasn't as smart as Harry, for he left finger prints on a few things. Just like me, Max was determined to seek justice.

Another case that caught my attention was the one about the acid. Bond told me that a blonde short women and a tall curly headed man were spotted hours before another women was killed. Mrs. Hellman, I believe was the name he told me. Bond believed the women was Payton Cooke, since the description given by the wittnesses matched hers.

However, something really caught my attention. All three of them worked at Wickendale, the place Harry was locked up in for several months. More murders have been committed, but all the victims have that one thing in common. They all worked at Wickendale. Something else that caught my attention was the burning of the houses. I wondered for the longest time if that was their secret code or sign telling us of their deeds.

Several years after Mrs. Hellman was killed, they closed the asylum down and began investigating her son, James, who was shortly found dead the same exact way his mother was killed, with acid poured onto his skin and of course, having his house burnt down too.

A year later, we were closer to these three murders than ever before. London was a big place, millions of people, but only three were needed to be found. Bond's work led us to a place called "El Infierno" which means hell. Harry, Louis, and Payton have been spotted going into that place. Bond even sent some of his best team to investigate and they never came back. They still don't know where they're at or are. That's why Bond was so careful about what he's doing, or so I thought.

But I too knew what I was doing. I went in oone day and made it back alive. Bond got so angry at me that day. All that place was, was a bunch of naked girls and drunk men everywhere. I didn't see any of the them though, so that's why I kept returning and returning until on day I saw him: Harry Styles.

As crazy as it seems, I walked straight up to him. I used my brain and acted like one of the dancers to get to him. I've never seen so many body guards in my life. I had yet to see Louis and Payton though. I think Harry grew to like me because I was called over by him every time I was there. I didn't sleep with that demented asshole if that's what you're thinking, no. I played a little hard to get. He grew fond of me, because he later introduced me to Louis and Payton Tomlinson. Who would've known that would've gotten me here today.

Anyways, as the year passed, I grew more and more closer to him, reporting every detail back to Bond, which brings me back to our plan. Operation Revenge, was in place but Bond wasn't, until I told him about Harry's true weakness: his twenty-one year old son.
