Simon's Angels (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter Sixteen

Laila's POV

"So basically, you're telling me that Mr. X is always watching us?" Paul raises an eyebrow at us.

Ally nods, "Yup, it's like A watching Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily!" 

Paul scowls, "Who??"

"It's from a show," I shake my head, "Anyways, what we are trying to say is that they will keep pestering us until we give them what they want."

"We cannot give them what they want!" Paul shouts and Vicky shushes him, "Yes we can. He wanted us too, remember? So if we can just go face him ourselves, we will be perfect!"

"The boys won't let you."

Ally grins, "Yeah, that's the best part. You're keeping it a secret from them. Make up a story, Paulina."

Paul grimaces at his nickname and still goes to argue but hushes when Niall comes into the room.

"What's going on?" Niall asks as Paul tries to lead him back to the other room.

"Nothing, Niall, just go back to the others. We have to make a small trip to somewhere." Ally soothes him but Niall shakes his head, "A trip? Where? Mr. X could be anywhere! He could get us!"

"Shh, Ni, no he won't. We will take care of him." Vicky reassures him and Niall's eyes widen, "You're going after him, aren't you?"

We all sigh and don't say a word, but it's enough for Niall. He shakes his head again and runs out of the room, shoving past Paul. Paul looks in between us and the door before giving up and going back to the boys.

Before he left, he turns to us and whispers, "Just come back home safe, please."

We smile at the word 'home' and nod, "Always, Paul, always."

I was putting my stuff into a small bag, just a few things I would need, when I hear my door open and four feet pad into the room. I sigh softly before turning to face them two. I glance up from under my eyelashes and see Louis's jaw tensed and his ocean eyes now a shade darker, appearing more angry. A look at Zayn's face showed his grief-stricken honey brown eyes and a small frown upon those heart shaped lips.

"Guys.." I whisper but Louis puts his hand up to stop me.

"Hush now, sistah. What in the holy freaking world were you thinking?! You guys going out there alone without any back up to face this Mr. X, who all we know could chop you into pieces and feed it to his weird hybrid minions!" Louis exclaims and Zayn just stares at him like he was an alien.

"What? It's true!" Louis replies defendedly at Zayn's face and Zayn just continues,"Anyways, Laila, we just wanted you to know, that we don't want you guys to go alone. We will go with you guys."

I raise an eyebrow and stifle a laugh before replying, "Look, guys, it's not possible to take ya'll with us! You know you are the main target anyways. He would kill you guys on the spot! Plus, we can fight him off because we are trained to, you aren't!"

Ally enters the room now and beckons us out to the living room and we follow her and come out to the rest of the group including Little Mix, waiting on the sofas. Liam and Harry take themselves to Ally while Niall hovers around Vicky and Paul stands at attention with Little Mix.

"We have an idea that could make both groups win," Liam starts out but Vicky interrupts, "You guys need to understand how dangerous this is. Mr. X is everywhere, he watches us day and night! You need us to go and check up on him and figure out what is going on! Otherwise, we will not get to the bottom of this!"

"We were hired to protect you, not be with you. Yes, we fell for you guys and vice versa, but you need to understand that before anything comes our job, and right now, our job is to get you out of trouble." I say and the boys all try to argue against me. 

"HEY!" We all shut up and turn to the door to see the one and only, Aadi. He raises his dark eyebrows at our state and his dark big eyes search the crowd until they land on me. His lips twitch up a bit into a smirk as he takes in my body suit and gear. 

"What in the world are you doing here, Aadi? Weren't you on the Swift case?" Ally snorts and Aadi switches his demeaning gaze to her before replying smoothly, "Yes, but I finished that case. I'm here to help you all out now. I can see you need it desparately, like always." 

I scoff and Aadi looks back at me with an amused look and starts to say something but Louis speaks first, "And who are you supposed to be exactly?"

Aadi turns to the equal height man and takes in his plain white tshirt and smiles before going into his self-centered introduction, "I am Aadi, one of the top agents for Simon Cowell. If it weren't for these lovely, yet super annoying ladies right here, I would be number one. Anyways, I have been in this company from the age of three, like little Ally over here. Zara and I were trained together until the age of 14. And Vicky..."

Vicky turns sharply towards him and growls, "Don't you are mention that! That was a mistake!"

"What was a mistake?" Niall gulps and Vicky shakes her head, "Nothing really, Ni. Don't worry I'm still a virgin."

The boys sigh in relief as Niall returns to his usual grinning self and pulls Vicky in for a hug. Aadi smirks at the two before turning to me and raising an eyebrow at Louis and Zayn who seemed to hover over me like they were my bodyguards.

"Who are these? Lemme guess, you got Zach and Louis." Aadi teases and knowingly says Louis's name while pronouncing the s at the end.

Louis scowls and sasses back, "Funny, I'll excuse you for not knowing my name since you are not british, but Zayn's name? C'mon, I thought you people wuld know your own culture's names?"

Aadi's everlasting smirk falters at that but he quickly responds by a snort before swiveling around and plopping down on the sofa. 

"Anyways, Simon sent me to help you in this One Way case." Aadi sighs and Harry glowers at him.

"It's One Direction. And we do not need your help." Ally sneers.

Aadi leans back lazily and says, "Listen, sweetheart, I don't want to help you. It's Simon's orders."

"Fine. We'll just work together! Now, someone fill him in!" Paul bellows and we all hesitate before nodding and Ally goes into the whole story.
