Bad Reputation

//Chapter Twenty-Four//

Belle
I quickly jumped out of my seat and stepped into the front, then turned the keys whilst putting my seatbelt on. I wasn't hesitating, I had to save Liam and I had people on my side. This was my chance to show everyone I'm worthy of doing things on my own, I don't need anyone to teach me how to survive in a gang.
"Belle, what are you doing?!"Perrie hissed from the backseats, as I flicked my eyes to the interior mirror.
"I'm going to follow them,"i stated, then spun the car around, as everyone hung into what was solid onto the car, so they wouldn't fall, or hit their heads.
"Easy Belle!"Niall yelled, as he was pushed into the side of the door until I was turned the right way, facing Des' direction.
"Let's go catch some criminals,"i smiled , then pressed on the gas as we sped off, but I couldn't catch a glimpse of the black van.
"But we're criminals too,"Eleanor excused, as I looked at her through the mirror and she lowered her head.
"Perrie I need you to do something,"i gushed as she looked up from her hands then nodded for me to go on.
"Climb into the boot, under the first aid hatch there's a black rucksack, take it back to Eleanor and both of you kit up and take all the weapons out,"i instructed as she climbed back, then I heard a click then a rustle, then another click as she retrieved the rucksack and handed it to Eleanor.
"There's three vests, is one for you?"she gestured holding the spare up.
"Of course not. I already have one, it's Niall's!"i snapped, as I put more pressure on the speed leaver.
"Here, apparently it's yours,"Eleanor said rudely as she passed it to Niall from the back seat.
"Thanks dear,"he mocked, then yanked it off her, as I drew him daggers.
"She done it to me first!"he protested, as I gave Eleanor the eyes from my mirror as she scurried her head away so she wasn't looking me in the eyes anymore.
"Guys, Belle's right. We should all be taking this seriously. Liam's in danger, maybe the other boys are? This is Harry's father, he could easily con him. Harry would obviously fall for him, again as I said, it's his dad."Perrie issued as I nodded my head, giving her a glance of agreement.
"Please guys, I want to save them. I want to prove that I'm strong enough to do this. It may sound stupid but I couldn't care less, I'm saving Liam or whoever else is in trouble,"i interrupted, making the silence erupt with my serious voice.
"Okay,"Niall and Eleanor huffed, then he turned on the radio as heavy rock music came out loudly.
"Niall! Put it down!!"i hushed, as he scrambled to the buttons and pressed them harshly.
"There, it's not my fault it's up loud,"he moaned, then slumped in his chair, adjusting his seatbelt.
"They've stopped,"Perrie gasped as I flicked my eyes to the road, and yelped as u slammed the breaks on. Not noticing that they had pulled into a dirt track, which lead up to a abandoned warehouse with a farm like shelter side by side it.
"What is this place?"Eleanor whined, as I pulled in behind the crumbling brick wall closed to the side incase we had to flee.
"I don't even know, do you think the other boys are in here?"i whispered, even though they won't be able to hear us all.
"I don't know, honestly, I'm not even sure,"Niall said, reaching over me to have another look while i took a gulp of my bottle of water, Perrie retrieved.
"Right, we need a plan. We can't just dive in here. We could get injured, even killed,"i stated, as we started to discuss plans in our head till we agreed on one, which was the safest and most secretive.
"Right, load up,"i ordered, as we all had a vest on, a dagger in our boots, then another hand gun and a army knife in our weapon band.
"Ready?"i asked, as they all nodded equally as I opened my door as we all exited, as I slipped the car keys in my pocket.
"Eleanor and Niall, left, Perrie me and you right, remember, this is the most important guys, protect yourself, don't be afraid to kill them. Leave Harry's father to me,"i instructed, then they followed, clinging close onto the wall, behind me.
The crunching of my boots, deepening into the crumbled leaves below my feet sounded as I tried to step slower but I just crunched down more. We were all being as silent as possible, just out heavy muffled breaths which we were holding in sounded.
"Okay, this is it,"i nodded as they all signalled back to me. As I pushed the barn doors open slowly, and entered, but there was a smaller shed inside. It looked so weird, a large shed with a smaller shed, it's like Russian nesting dolls.
I snuck up to the small shed door, pushing a strand of my blonde hair back, which had escaped my bun. Then pressed my ear to the door, listening for any sounds.
"But boss..she'll be here soon...no...listen, it's important.....lets just talk about this....yes, but...please.."A voice argued but there was a louder voice overpowering it.
"Is there anyone in there?"Perrie whispered, narrowing her eyes towards the door, as I shook my head then licked my lips. The dryness of the room drying our skin. I had been so noticed on getting in I hadn't noticed the horrid smell of the mouldy wood on the walls. The rotting floor boards, with tiny shrubbery weeds growing between them.
"Their coming!"Niall gushed, as we all dashed out of the barn doors and to the side of the barn, facing away from the warehouse doors.
"All I'm saying Brian, is that I will be ready for them to come here. Harry and his gang hasn't arrived but I know how to keep this thing up, leave that Liam in there just now, he'll be fine,"Des said, as he exited the barn, with a middle aged man, with jet black hair and glasses.
"Okay,"he moaned, then followed Des.
"Did you hear that, Liam's still in there!"Eleanor clapped, as I then led them around the corner again into the barn for the second time.
"Get your weapons ready. Incase,"i warned as they clicked their revolvers or shotguns as I clicked the latch on the shed door and then opened it as we all dashed in and Liam was sitting normally in a chair just with his hands tied behind it, but he could still move them.
"El, Nialler, stay here with him, us two will kill the rest so they don't come back.
"Wait!"Niall yelled as I glared at him when I turned around for shouting so loud.
"Hug,"he smiled as I ran into his arms, as he held me tightly.
"I love you,"he said, hugging me again once finished looking into my eyes when he spoke.
"You too, bro,"i grinned as he kissed my forehead as Perrie and I dashed away.
"You and me are ready for this,"she said as we ran through the doors.
"Hello ladies, how lovely to meet you again,"a voice boomed as we dashed across the hall to find Des at the end.
"Your going down, nutcase,"Perrie warned, as I glanced at her as she gave a slight smirk.
"Am I?"he offered as I looked at him confused then felt constricted across my throat.
"I think it will be you two, going down,"he laughed, as two men behind us held knifes to our necks as we squirmed beneath their grip but they never loosened.
I felt a gentle hand grip mine as I seen Perrie's, small hand in my small one. As she smiled to me as I gestured one back.

This was it, we were going to die, trying to be independent and confident. At least it's a good way to go.
