The Ignorant Lie

"Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick; a shadow on the wall."

"Harry, are you sure you want to do this? This is a huge amount of money and if they get caught we would have to face a huge loss" Niall said looking at harry who was busy stocking money in briefcase. Harry was making one of their people do money laundering for them. He was sure everything would be according to plan but niall was skeptical.

"We aren't doing it for the first time Niall, calm the fuck down" Harry said rolling his eyes.

"I know but-" He was cut off when ashton and luke came running inside the office, panting. They both stood up in alarm. One, no one is allowed to enter their office without their permission unless it's important, and two, they look like they just saw a ghost.

"Luke, Ash. What happened" Niall and Harry were at their side in a minute. Waiting for them to calm down and explain what the hell was going on.

"Two of our Suppliers are hurt, our Money is stolen, the shipment coming from France is nowhere to be found. Our garage is empty." Luke pants out. Luke and Ashton looked at each other contemplating something. Ashton nodes a bit and luke sighed

"What is it Ash? What else?" Harry asked authoritatively.

"The tiger signs, all of those places." Ashton replied tiredly. They've spent months finding who was sabotaging their business and left those tiger signs. The first time their garage was empty there was a huge poster in it with a roaring tiger and M written on it.

"Son of a bit-" harry slammed his hands on table making luke flinch at the unexpected noise.

" Is that all?" Niall asked. Keeping his composer.

"There was something written this time" Ash said pulling out his phone and showing it to his bosses.

There in bold letters was written

Give us back what belongs to us - M.

And on second paper

You'll Regret it - M.

"Not this shit again." Niall yelled frustrated, These tiger messages started showing up as soon as he returned from France a year ago. They are still clueless. Whoever that is going to be the death of them.

"Niall, This has to be stopped, We can't let it happen again. Last time when this showed up Louis was attacked even though he was with me. Whoever it is they know about us. They are keeping eyes and ears on us. Find out who the rat is. Who the fuck this M is. Careful who you trust" Harry looked at everyone in the room "Everyone who isn't us, is an enemy. What good is power if you cannot protect the ones you love? I don't want to put anyone's life in danger this time. We will be prepared.I will hurt them for this. A day will come when they think they're safe and happy, and their joy will turn to ashes in their mouth, and they'll know the debt is paid" Harry said darkly, his eyes burning fire while his hands are in tight fists.

"You both get our best team and search, leave no stone unturned. Search every corner in Ireland, Europe and africa. I'll call a few of my fellows around the world. This time they are not getting away with this shit" Niall said authoritatively.

"You know there's a saying, What we don't know is going to get us killed." Harry looked at Niall with the same irritation and determination. "We'll Get them by their necks" Harry nods to himself.

They both went out of their phone to ear making calls that were necessary.

Nothing fucks you harder than time. Barbara Learned that hardest way. She tried her best to regain her power, her authority on the Styles establishment but all vail. Louis is a cunning man. This time around he was ruthless, he did what he wanted. He was slowly controlling everything. People around him trust him, value his opinion and it was killing her. That was her place before Louis came into Harry's life and turned her life upside down. Now she's just a character in the background, with nothing in her hands. Nobody listens to her anymore, not even Niall. If she ever tried to give her opinion or bitch something about louis Niall would shut her up sayin "we have more serious things to worry about Babs"
