Chapter 03:
3rd person «Harry»

Harry entered through the large front doors in the main entrance of his home. He was looking down, threw a peace sign at Anne, and jogged up to his bedroom.

He had told his mum he was going to Zayn's, but that was just an excuse to stay late until the people met up with him to trade their money in for, the most popular so far, cocaine.

He was flipping through the stacks of cash when his phone started to vibrate in his pocket. He slipped it out and looked at who it was, Liam. Harry declined the call only to have it ring once again a few moments later. He gave in and answered it, figuring he won't have a way out of this.

"Hey"

"Harry," Liam said, his voice shaking.

"Liam? What's wrong?" Harry was concerned.

"I need help."

"With?"

"A job.. Nick is giving me a hard time for not being able to do it," Harry tensed at the name, Nick.

"What's the job?"

"He.. he wants me to, how do I say this, uh.." Liam sighed, "..kidnap somebody.. and bring them to him.. fucking torture them for christ's sake.. Harry.. I can't do that."

"Come to Doncaster, fuck that prick, run away from it, don't give him any notice Liam, please don't do that, I beg you Li." Harry spoke strictly to Liam.

"He's going to kill me Harry, it isn't worth the risk, there isn't anything there for me, and plus, he raised me Harry, I can't bail now," Liam started to cry lightly, with soft sniffles every now and then.

"Liam, fuck it all, he only took you in because he thought you could be heartless like him, but have you know, you aren't Liam, please, don't fucking listen to whatever shit he says."

"Harry, I'm scared.." he started to cry more, "He's going to kill me, literally, he wasn't hesitant with Ed... what makes you think I'll be different?"

"Don't tell anybody there where you're going, his crew is filled with snitches, don't tell anybody you plan, just fake your death, nobody will know."

Liam sighed, "...okay, I'll do it, can I stay with you until I find a place?"

"Of course."

"Thank you Harry.. so much, you will never understand how much i appreciate you to be my friend."

"Anytime L, I got to go now, I'll send you the address, the sooner the better." Harry hung up, placing his phone on the desk.

Returning to his task, he enveloped half of the money he earned earlier that day. And ran down the stairs to ask his mother if Liam could stay at their house.

"Can my friend stay here for a few?" Anne's eyes widened, Harry hasn't invited anybody over in a bit less than a year.

"Anytime," Anne smiled sincerely, she wanted her son back, not this mean, careless boy she's been living with, she knew he was still there somewhere.

"Thank you mum," Harry smiled, retreating back up to his room, closing the door.

He picked his phone up, texting Liam the address.

Nick was the leader of a gang back in London, he was a cruel, heartless man, who only cared about sex and money. He killed his own son, Ed, after not receiving the right amount of money from him during a job.

He was dark, and morbid with the way he lived, if somebody wouldn't give him what he wanted, he would kidnap every person he was close with, and hold them for ransom until he got it.

Liam was stuck in the situation that if caught, he could lose his life. Harry was praying that he would show up tomorrow, and get away from the troublesome group.
