A Boy In The Shadow

Chapter 17

Ivy knocked at Lou's door. Lou herself opened the door and Ivy was glad for it.

" How may i help you ?" Lou greeted.

" I need to talk to you about something. I am social worker and for a case, i want to talk to you, its really important. " Ivy briefly explained.

Lou understood the depth of the case by Ivy's voice. She let her in and let her seated.

Ivy took out a notepad to write a few notes. " How do you know one direction boys ?" She asked.

Lou replied," I used to work for them. "

" Okay. So, do you ever take your daughter with you on work ?"

" Yeah. I used to."

" So, were they ever ignorant to the fact that a kid was there with them. Like in any ways ?" Ivy asked.

Lou looked at her with a confused look," What do you mean ? I don't understand."

" I mean were they ever abusive or drunk or anything else. "

" Never. All i can say about them is that they are a good bunch of boys. They never did anything like that in front of a kid or fans. "

" How was their behaviour towards your daughter, Lux ?"

" They were so caring. They always take care of Lux and they always make her gappy whenever she was with them. "

" Did you ever left her alone with them ? "

" Yeah. I did many times. "

" Were they ever ignorant ?"

" No. Like i said they always take care of Lou and made her their first priority. "

" Then why would you file a complaint against them that they ignored your child ?"

Lou was shocked," I would never do that. I honestly, don't know what are you talking about. "

Ivy took out a copy of the conplaint and show it to Lou. " I never did anything like that. " Lou explained herself.

Ivy observing everything can conclude that, Lou didn't put any complaint agains the 1d boys, then who did ?

Meanwhile, at the hotel. The boys were just sitting and praying from the inside that they could see Harry and adopt him.

They didn't ate anything ever since the meeting with Ivy. Even, Niall was not hungry

At Martin's house.

The gang of the plotters met.

Sadie, Martin and two others. Tony and Des. Yes, Tony and Des.

" Cheers to our plan. " Sadie said and everybody did what Sadie said.

" They will never know that i put that fake complaints and information in it. No one can ever imagine that it was me. I am acting as their helper. " Tony said as he took a sip of the wine.

" I can't wait when Martin gets his custody. " Des said.

" Me too. By the way when are the buyers coming ?" Martin asked.

" In a month. Who can ever thought that a boy like him will be bought for 20 millions." Des snorted.

" Yeah. But now, we all will be going to rich. " Sadie said.

" Now, Its upto you and Tony. You both have to make him disappear from the system. " Des said. 

" It would have been done earlier, if those boys didn't interrupted. We have to do something of those boys. " Sadie said.

" Yeah. Those boys. Don't worry 'bout them. I have already make arrangements for them. " Tony said.

" Then who can put that information in that system ?"  Liam asked Ivy.

" I don't know but all i can say is that someone is plotting against you and that is not good at all. " Ivy sighed.

" What are going to do next ?" Louis asked.

" I will try my best to bring down those false news and complaints in short time. " Ivy said.

" Thank you, Ivy. What would we do without you ?" Niall said and Ivy gave him a small smile.

It was midnight when Zayn woke up with the sound of someone's sobbing.

He stood up from his bed and went downstairs in the living room. He saw Louis pulling his knees close to his chest and sobbing.

" Lou what happened ?" He softy spoke.

" Its *sob* nothing *sob* " He said.

" Lou, tell me what happen ?" Zayn said as he bring Louis close to his chest.

" Its , Zayn why would anybody do something like that ?" Lou said as he clutch on Zayn's t-shirt.

" I don't know. " Zayn sighed.

" We didn't do anything bad. Why can't we just have Harry with us, safe and sound. " He sobbed hard.

" Shhh. I know babe. I know. " Zayn said. He softly rub his back.

" Zayn, please i want Harry back. " Louis sobbed.

Zayn had nothing left to say. He was too missing Harry. Both of them went to sleep, cuddled up to each other.

Meanwhile, Ivy was still in her offfice, going through everything once again. Over and over but it seems like there's no end.

She keeps on going through allegations, complaints and news. Most of 'em was fake and wrong.

It will take god knows how much to prove everything wrong.

Ivy sighed and decided to go back home. When she was putting her stuff together. She came across something which she didn't earlier.

She checked the information in the computer and checked out the details of it and it was put into the system two days ago.

She finally got a lead and now she knows what she had to do.
