The Fighter (AU/Punk)

Harry's POV
"Why the fuck did you bring him here jake?!" I shout. He stares at me in fear, cowering on my leather couch.
"I didn't know what else to do!" He says, trying to regain some semblance of pride.
"NOT BRING HIM HERE YOU FUCKING IDIOT," I shout and turn away, running my fingers through my curls.
I'm about to punch him when a knock at the door sounds.
"It's open," I call angrily.
Liam opens the door but doesn't walk in straight away, instead he holds it open for someone else.
Sage.
My hands curl into fists. Did they ride together or just show up at the same time? Sage moves slower than usual but as I take in her outfit I forget all about it. Her heeled boots click on the floor and she slowly sits on the couch. Jake looks at her with a gleam in his eye but I smack him on the back of the head as I make my way over to Liam.
"What a coincidence, you two showing up at the same time?" I say as a question, crossing my tattooed arms over my chest.
"Uh Harry, about that..." Liam says but before he can finish Sage speaks up from the couch.
"Liam drove me because I injured my arm," she says. There's a slight slur to her voice. Is she drunk or something? And how did she injure her arm?
"How'd you injure your arm?" I ask concerned. I hope it's nothing serious.
"Some guys came at me with knives, cut up my right arm decently. I'm fine just hyped up on pills at the moment, Zayn said they'd wear off after about an hour," she says. "So like fifteen minutes I think."
"May I see it?" I ask. Who were these guys and I hope they know I'm going to fucking kill them for hurting her.
"Maybe later," she says and looks up at me with clouded eyes. For the first time I don't see a confident glint in them, just kindness. I like drugged up Sage.
"Alright," I mutter and Zayn and Niall burst into the house.
"Are we late?" Niall says and scans the room.
Jake and Sage sit on the couch, a wide gap between them. Liam and I stand near the door.
"This is everyone," I say and sit between jake and Sage on the couch. "Sage you need to go wait upstairs, I'll come get you when I need to talk to-" I glance over at her next to me and see she's completely asleep. Her blonde hair hangs over her face. "Well alright."
"What's this about?" Zayn asks and takes a seat on one of the cushioned chairs.
"Well," I say, all business. "You see, jake here thought it would be a good idea to bring a COP here."
I see all the guys tense up and shoot daggers at jake.
"Where is he?" Liam asks through gritted teeth.
"Garage," I reply seriously. Liam nods and sinks back into the seat.
"We need to deal with this guy," I say and put my elbows on my knees.
"What's his name?" Zayn asks.
"Does it matter?" I bite.
"I guess not but we might as well do some research and figure out how experienced this guy is. If he's an average street cop we can get rid of him easily but if not we might have a problem," Zayn says and crosses his arms.
"Daniel, we're not sure about a last name," jake mumbles. Zayn nods and pulls out his cell phone to do the research.
"Did I ask you to fucking speak," I bite. Jake cowers back into the seat. "Liam, Niall, jake, come with me. Zayn, stay here and keep on eye on Sage and continue researching."
The guys stand and follow me through the kitchen to the garage. I open the door and a shout goes out.
The cop-Daniel, is the one who shouted. He's tied with plastic zip ties to a steel chair. Blood runs down his face from a wound on his head. He glares up at me with blue eyes.
"Hey mate," Louis says from a corner of the room. Two of jakes guys sit in the corner while Louis keeps Daniel under control. "Apparently this ones girlfriend pulled through, cops invaded the warehouse just after they moved him here."
"Good to know, we might have to kill her too," I say with an evil grin. Daniels eyes narrow but he doesn't say anything.
"Do you want me to take over," Liam mutters from behind me. I nod my head and Liam takes Louis spot in front of Daniel. He turns his back away from him before whipping around and slapping him across the face.
We all move to form somewhat of a circle around the chair.
Daniel spits in my direction. Fucker.
"Who sent you undercover?" I ask from my spot on the wall.
"Myself," he says angrily.
"Tell me!" I shout. I step forward and punch him. He spits out blood before slowly turning to me again.
"Nah I'm good," he says sarcastically and I hit him again, harder this time. A satisfying crunch tells me his nose is broken. I'm about to hit him again when a gasp from the doorway startles me. I look up and see Sage standing in the doorway, her hands covering her mouth. Her eyes are wide and she looks at me with disgust. Zayn sprints behind her.
"Fuck," he mutters.
Before I can do anything Sage has already rushed to Daniels side.

Sages POV
Oh my god Daniel. He's tied to a chair, Harry towering over him menacingly. Danny's blue eyes look at me with shock from my spot in the doorway. I cover my mouth with my hands and hear a muttered fuck from behind me. I barely even notice. All I see is Danny, blood running down his face. I rush towards him and kneel at his side.
"Sage, leave," Harry's voice says sternly.
"So you can keep beating the shit out of him?!" I shriek and roll up my sleeve. "How about fucking no."
"Sage, you don't know the whole story," Harry says in the same tone from behind me. I turn to glare at him with hatred. How dare he.
"I know that you are beating this poor man senseless when he has no way to defend himself," I say and begin to unravel the bandage around my injured arm.
"Sage don't," Liam pleads as I completely unwrap the bandage. "You're still hurt."
I ignore him and fold up the bloody gauze so that the cleaner parts are on the outside. I gently press it to Danny's forehead where a wound is bleeding severely. He looks at me with a heartbreaking expression.
"Thank you," he whispers. I simply nod my head.
"Sage, you need to go," Harry says again.
"No," I reply seriously, still not looking at him.
Before I know it a pair of strong arms are wrapped around my waist, pulling me to my feet. My instincts kick in and I elbow the person in the face. I hear a groan of pain but the arms around me don't let go. And now my elbow hurts.
"Really?" Harry's voice says angrily his arms tightening around me.
"Let me go!" I shriek and kick out backwards, trying to knock him off balance.
I'm not up to my usual fighting standard due to painkillers and it's pissing me off. Normally I would be out of his grip and he would be on the floor by now. I feel a wetness fall down my cheek and reach my hand up to touch it. Am I crying?!
The second the realization hits me the tears begin to fall more rapidly and my breathing quickens. Daniel looks at me with concern etched on his face.
"Let me go," I sob pathetically. Harry swings me over his shoulders as easily as a garbage bag. Which is what he's treating me like. My injured arm smacks his back and the stitches catch on the chain of his necklace. I scream in agony. The stitches feel as though they're being pulled out, one by one.
"You're hurting her mate!" Liam's voice says rapidly. Harry ignore him and carries me inside.
"Deal with him," Harry says. I raise myself up on Harry's back and see Liam walk towards Daniel.
"NO!" I shriek and Liam's eyes meet mine with a steely resolution before Harry kicks the door shut behind us.
He carries me to the living room before setting me down gently on the couch. I look at my arm. A few of the stitches were ripped out and my arm was bleeding again. I sob uncontrollably and Harry stands in front of me. I pull my legs up to my chest, smearing blood on my legs. I don't even care. All I can think about is how they're going to kill Daniel and there's nothing I can do about it. I bury my head in my knees.
"I'm sorry you had to see that," Harry says with a sigh.
"Sorry?!" I say shocked. "If you're sorry then you will let that man go!"
"He's trying to throw me in jail Sage!" Harry exclaims and runs his fingers through his curls, pacing the floor in front of me.
"You deserve it " I say. My sobs are under control but the tears still stream down my face without ceasing.
Harry immediately stops pacing and looks at me, the pain obvious in his eyes. "You would probably get in trouble too, if they found out you are associated with us. With me."
"I don't care, at least no one would be bleeding to death in your garage," I mutter.
"I'm trying to protect myself, you, and my friends!" Harry shouts with frustration.
"I'm leaving," I say and get to my feet.
"Where the fuck do you think you're going? Liam's busy and I'm sure as he'll not gonna give you a ride after that stunt you just pulled," Harry says angrily.
"Away from you and I'm walking," I say without looking back at him. I open the front door and slam it shut behind me. I hear it open as I'm walking down the driveway, the warm sun beating down on me. The smell of nature filling the air.
"What the fuck Sage?" Harry's voice calls out.
"Bye Harry," I say and wave over my shoulder. "I don't associate with monsters."

Notes

Ooo Sage is pissed and Harry is too. A lot happened in this chapter so it's a pretty long update.. Anyways questions:
what will happen to Daniel? Will they kill him?
How will Sage continue the investigation if she's so pissed about Daniel?
is she seriously going to walk through the woods to get home?
