Missing Comrades

8 Out Of 11 Left: Found Harry...

Lauren's POV

"Ooh that black panther is so ferocious and beautiful," Normani says.

"Like you Maniboo," Camila loops her arm through Normani's.

I cross my arms as I examine the black panther who seems to be staring back at me with its yellow predator eyes. I held its gaze and it seemed like it bowed his head to me in respect then walked further into its exhibit.

"Did that panther just bow it's head to you?" Normani turns to look at me.

I just shrugged, "Maybe it senses my braveness and strength."

We keep walking again but I fall a step behind the two girls. "Come on, Harry," I whisper. I put my phone away and roll my eyes. I'm certainly losing my patience especially in this large crowd. It will certainly be harder to find Harry.

The two girls stop in front of an exhibit that has two panda cubs and their parents. While Normani and Camila are in the front, I stay a little bit behind as I eye how the mother panda nuzzled one of her cubs.

"Beautiful ain't it?" Someone says beside me their English accent rubbing off.

"The most precious thing," I said.

"Glad to see you back from your honeymoon," He spoke again.

"How did-" I stop mid-sentence when I see that it's Harry beside me. "Harry!" I smile.

He chuckles lightly, "You didn't think I would have thought that you wouldn't come looking for me?"

"No, it's just-"

"Found me, Lauren. Guess it is hard to hide from one of the most talented Police Lieutenants ever," Harry says. He pulls me into a hug as he pats my back which I return.

"How are you? I mean considering what happened," I said.

"Surprisingly holding up okay, just cautious of my surroundings," Harry says.

"We need to talk to you," I said.

"I figure I know what this is about," He says.

"Okay, so not here. Plus, I want to get out of here before those two over there drag me all throughout the zoo," I said.

"Offence taken. The zoo is an amazing place," Harry says.

"If we weren't on duty to find everybody then yes but we have a task at hand," I said.

"Suppose you are correct, Lauren," Harry says.

Normani and Camila walk to us and their faces light up. "Harry!" They both hug the boy.

"Normani, Camila. A pleasure to see your gorgeous faces again," He says once they pull away from him.

"And yours too my favorite English fuck," Camila says.

I clear my throat and I raise my eyebrows at them. "Can we leave now?" I ask impatiently.

"Ugh, can we just throw her off a cliff?" Normani groans.

Harry chuckles, "As much as I know Lauren is a mood killer. She is important for the task at hand."

"You'll learn to live with it Maniboo," Camila says.

I roll my eyes at the two girls, "You two need to get your head straight. This ain't no vacation."

"We know but we can't always live our life's being serious, that's not a way to live," Camila says.

"I understand, but when I'm on the clock then I'm on the clock and I won't rest until I finish my duty," I said.

"Okay fine, we'll take it a bit more seriously," Camila says.

"Thank you. Jesus, Zayn is the only one that understands me in this," I said.

"Hey!" Camila pouts.

"I'm sorry, babe but you know it's true, I love you though," I said.

Camila kisses my cheek, "I love you too."

After grabbing Camila's hidden gun, Harry takes us to his parent's condo. "And here we are," Harry swings open the front door after unlocking it.

"Wow Harry, this shit is more beautiful than you described," Normani says.

"Hold on, you knew about this condo, why didn't you tell us?" I question.

Normani shrugs, "Nobody asked."

I roll my eyes and take out my laptop from my pack and sit down on the couch. "So Harry since you are our best tech guy, do you know where we can find anybody else?" I question.

"Been researching in myself. They are all pretty good at hiding their tracks," Harry says.

"I can tell," I said.

He sits down next to me and takes my computer and sets it down on his lap. "But I was able to find one of the boys," He says.

"Gerald?! Where you able to find him?" Camila sits on the other side of Harry.

Harry frowns, "Sadly no. He's the hardest one to find." Harry turns to Camila and places a hand on her shoulder which he squeezes. "I'm severely sorry about your father," He says.

Camila takes his hand in hers, "Thank you." We all fall silent for a few seconds until Camila finally speaks up to break it. "So who were you able to find?" She asks.

"Colson," Harry says.

Camila's eyes lighten up a little at the sound of her best friend's name. "Where is he?" She asks more lively.

"Seattle, Washington," Harry says.

Camila and I lock eyes and I nod firmly, she returns it and turns back to Harry. "Seattle it is then," She spoke determinedly.
