Thank you for your patience. I want to continue this story. I hope you like it. 

Niall's POV

It has been about an hour since Blair left me alone. After telling me the story of his sister going missing, he left pretty quickly. He also took the phone. Dammit. Time for a new plan. It is difficult to focus on having a headache from all that has happened. I pull on the rope tied around my hand. I don't think it will be too difficult getting out of this if I work on it enough. I hear the door to the basement open and I stop tugging on the rope, looking up to see Blair has come back. He takes a quick glance towards me, then goes to a small table, packing some things away. I let out a soft sigh.

"I am sorry about what happened to your sister." Silence for a whole minute. I am not sure what else to say to him. It was sad that he lost his sister, but it does not give him a reason to kidnap, kill, and torture people. After losing interest in waiting for a reply, I begin to look around the room some more to figure out a new plan to escape.

"Why" Is what Blair says to me, breaking the silence in the room after five minutes.

"Huh?"

"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything, did you?" He looks at me with both anger and hurt in his eyes.

"N-no."

"Then why would you be sorry?" Before I could answer, Blair's phone started to ring. He answers it while walking back to the door of the basement. I let out a sigh I did not know I was holding. As he is talking to someone, he looks back at me one last time with a smirk before turning to close the door behind him. Oh no. Talking to someone about what? I am beginning to think that he might not be working alone. I hear a soft humming of an engine form a car. It gives me a little hope that the police have found me.

I continue to work on getting my hands untied while looking for any possible window to climb out of. There is one window, but it is a little small to fit through, but I think I could do it. One thing though, it looks like the window will be much higher than I can reach. Why do I have to be short?!? Focus Niall.

Third-person POV

After a few minutes of tugging and moving his hands in different positions, Niall is able to get the rope off! He stands up on his wobbly and weak legs and takes hesitant steps toward the window. Dammit. He cannot reach just as he thought. Niall looks towards the door, getting an idea. He walks quietly but quickly, standing right in front of the door leading out of the basement. 'Maybe I can just try to be quiet and go through' he thought to himself. 'What else could go wrong if I try?'. Niall slowly reaches out to grab the doorknob, twisting it until the door opens just a little. He peeks through the small crack to see if it is clear to run. "You can do this Niall" He speaks to himself.

Just as he was pulling the basement door open a little more, just enough to squeeze his small body through, Niall catches sight of a shadow. He quickly, but quietly closes the door all the way. Running back to the ropes to act as if he is still tied up Niall stops when he sees a small wooden bat in the corner of the room. He gets an idea and quickly grabs it as he hears Blair coming down the steps to the door. Niall hides behind the door as Blair walks through.

"What the-" Blair goes to say when all he sees is the rope that once tied the pop star with the young boy nowhere in sight. Before he can finish, however, Niall comes behind him and goes to hit him on his back, not wanting to kill the man, but just trying to get away. Blair senses the boy behind him and turns, startling Niall who hesitates which gives Blair enough time to grab the bat out of Niall's hands. Not knowing what to do, Niall kicks Blair in the lower regions with all his strengths, which to be honest was not much because of his weak tired legs and the massive headache he still had. Blair lets go of Niall's wrist and the bat, falling to the floor crying out in pain.

Niall takes this as his chance to get away and turns towards the door. As he runs up the steps, tripping a few times, he sees headlights of several cars outside making their way to the house. Red and blue lights beamed from the cars. The police! They found him! He is going to be rescued. Niall starts to smile, walking to the front door when he feels a hand clasp on his mouth, and his arms squeezed between him and the man. He screams and is held against the person's chest.

"You let him go?!?" Niall huffs in confusion. Blair comes running up the stairs, sweat dripping off his forehead and a pained expression on his face. Niall looks towards Blair and widens his eyes. The man holding onto him was not Blair as he thought it was. He is not working alone. He has a partner!

"He kicked me!" Blair defends as they quickly move towards the back of the house, dragging a screaming Niall with them.

"You mean to say that this weak and pathetic little boy knocked you down?" The man smirks, glancing at Blair who rolls his eyes. They hear car doors opening and closing.

"We need to hurry! The police will be charging in at any moment now." This gets Blair to stop defending himself and focuses on getting out of the place. The two drag Niall outside and into a car in the back. All the while Niall screams and wiggles around. "Shut up and stop moving!" Niall doesn't listen to this and continues to try and get out of the mystery man's tight grasp. The man, sick of the boy's resistance, knocks Niall's head against the car door once. Niall blacks out immediately. The man hands him to Blair who throws him in the back seat and gets in the passenger as the other man gets ready to drive off.

Louis' POV

The lads and I watch as all the policemen get out of their cars some running towards the front door and others going towards the back. "Look!" Liam says from the back, pointing a little to the left and towards the backyard. Zayn and I follow where the finger is pointing and we see a car, no headlight on, moving quietly towards the road away from the house.

"Do you think Niall is in there?" Zayn quietly whispers.

"One way to find out," I say as I put the car into drive, following after the one car ahead of us.

"Wait, Louis! We should tell the police!"

"Why? They have not been doing a very good job so far, and I am not letting Niall get away again. They will just send us back home and not let us help. I am tired of just waiting and hoping." I explain as I speed up now as the driver ahead does so as well. My headlights are still off which makes driving a little difficult, but I keep going. I leave no room for argument as Liam just sighs and sits back in his seat. I look at Zayn to see what he is thinking, and he looks back, nodding his head in confirmation that he is good with my decision. I nod back and look back to the road. Trying to follow the shadow of the car from the light of the moon. 

Third-person POV

The man and Blair decide to get off the highway and take a right turn towards a street with several houses that look the same. They stop at a house at the very end of a dead-end road. The two men get out of the car. Blair opens the back door of the car while the other man goes to unlock the house. 

Blair gets Niall and holds him bridal style.  He closes the door with his foot and walks to the open door of the house. The door closes and locks behind him, not paying much attention to the three lads in the car not too far behind.

Louis watches as the two men get out of the car. "There is Niall!" I smile as we actually found him. We all get out of the car and quietly close the doors. 

"What are we going to do?" Liam whispers to us. Both him and Zayn look at me for an answer. 

"Well, let's call the police and let them know where Niall is. I don't think it will be a good idea to go in by ourselves. We can just" Louis doesn't finish his thoughts as he sees the color drain from the other two lads' faces. Louis gulps as he hears the sound of a gun being loaded and pointed directly at him. He turns his head to the side and glances back behind him to see a man holding a gun. 

"Get inside now! Do not think about screaming or running. I will shoot you." The man who was driving told the boys.
