Ch. 27 ~ The Tunnel

A/N: Dedicated to HarryStylesWilly because she's rlly nice and her fic Desolation is really good :)

Speed's POV

"How the hell will he know which tunnel to come over to?" Darren's annoying voice sounds over the phone. 

"Can you not worry about those things?" I mutter. How dare he question my reasoning? Did he forget who he was talking to? I'd planned this whole thing out very meticulously and all his doubting was really throwing me off. 

"Sorry, I just want things to pan out the way you want and I dunno if the dude will know-"

"Shut up, will you? Let's talk about how your dumbass was spotted by them when they were on their way over to the club. Why did you think it was okay to stand in the middle of the road?!" I angrily shouted into the receiver.

"Um that wasn't me!" He protested. 

"You're a horrible liar, you know that?"

"It wasn't my idea to do that, it was Tim's...I'm sorry. I wasn't spotted though. I was too far and it was really dark. I had my hood on too. Tim said it'd throw them off course. A scare tactic, y'know?"

I sighed deeply and rolled my eyes. "When did I ask you two to scare them? Oh yeah, I didn't."

"I'm so sorry-"

 "Whatever. All I wanted to know if you made sure he got the note?"

"I definitely made sure he did, sir." 

Having heard what I wanted to hear I disconnected the call. Now all that was left for me to do was wait.

Darren may not know the extent of faith I'd put into Harry. I trusted Harry to be able to discern things and I wasn't worrying about how vague my note had been. He'd get it one way or another.

Harry's POV

"Where am I?" I whisper to myself, as I awaken. I blink a few times and take in my surroundings until It all comes flooding back to me. I'm at Leo's place and I'm about ready to jump with joy because the drug has worn off. Everything's back to normal around me.

I call out for Leo only to realize he's not here. A note on the refrigerator catches my attention. 

At work, will return by 5 or 6 pm, there's food all around the kitchen, help yourself, btw: my phone will be on silent as long as I'm at work - Leo 

I peered at the clock. It was 5:32 PM. Leo was probably on his way home from work. To kill the time I decided I might as well use the bathroom and freshen up. 

As I'm exiting the bathroom, I hear the distinct sound of a key going into the lock. Momentarily, Leo emerges, groceries in hand.  

"Need help?" I offer.

"Nah, I got it. Are you hungry?" He asks. 

"Yeah," I admit. "I just woke up not too long ago." 

"What do you say we go grab something to eat?" 

"Sounds good to me."

"Were you alright after I'd left to go to bed?" Leo asks, as we're waiting for our food to arrive.

I remember the piece of paper but don't bring it up because Leo would just get all worried again. "Yeah I was just fine." Nonetheless I stick my hand into my pocket to make sure the paper's gone. My blood runs cold when I feel it. Oh no. I thought it was just a hallucination. I pull it out and it still says "the tunnel, ask for Speed."
