The Killer

Quietly, I sit at the end of the long table, ready to discuss this with who ever it involves. A few more people pile into the room, sitting apart from each other. A man, by the name of Andrew Willis, sits at the other end of the table, all the way across from me.

‘’I’m going to ask one more time, why am I here?’’ I ask as I glance at the two police officers guarding the closed door.

‘’Don’t worry one bit, Mr. Styles,’’ Andrew starts, ‘’We are strictly just wanting to do business with you.’’

‘’Why with me? Are you sure this isn’t just one of your stupid tricks again?’’ I raise one eyebrow, very concerned of why I’m here.

‘’I assure you Mr. Styles, we are not tricking you. We really need your help. This entire nation needs your help..’’ He sighs lightly.

‘’And why’s that? Better yet, why should I help you?’’ I ask.

“You know Louis Tomlinson, and the killing he’s done over the past few weeks. Well, Mr. Styles, we know you are the only one that can reach him.. correct? And, there are innocent women being taken from their homes, kidnapped and possibly killed. Men are dying every day because of him, for no reason most of them. And there’s children that are missing.. all because of that bastard.’’ Andrew says straight faced.

‘’Once again, why should I help you?’’ I cock my head slightly as I stare at the older man.

‘’Mr. Styles, we know what you’re capable of, and we need someone strong, and brave like you to help this country. The political figures in London know of this, Mr. Styles. They approved it. Only because we know what you can do.. you can stop him, can’t you? Want you?’’

“Look here, Willis. I’m not fucking superhero. I’m not the one to be saving any one. I’m a criminal. I’ve killed people too, don’t you remember? New York, in 2012? You were there. And besides, Tomlinson and I haven’t talked for ages, I have nothing to do with him any more. I have no clue where he is either.’’ I say, annoyed at the request he’s offering.

“Harry, please. We need this. You need this. We have talked it through with the London P.D. and we have agreed something.. only if you go through with this.’’ Andrew says, leaning his elbows on the table.

I cross my arms on my chest and lean back, looking at him closely. Trying to search through the lies, but I realize that he’s not lying. He is being serious. He really is.

“What’s the… agreement?’’ I mumble, curious to know just what they want.

I didn’t know why I thought he was lying. Because, why would he bring me all the way to Memphis just to arrest me? London’s a long way away, and he has no authority in London, so it didn’t matter if he did arrest me there or not.

But I guess I just need to listen now, and understand the deal that’s being placed on the table right now. This could change a lot of things.. A lot.

“If you go through with this, and we get Tomlinson, or at least attempt.. the London Police Department.. has agreed to drop your major charges, but keeping the simple ones. Anyways, and the time you are supposed to serve, even though you won the case, will be deleted. You won’t have to serve a single minute in prison.. if you can just help us. Please get him, and bring him to custody..’’ Andrew tells me, looking at me with a long, hard gaze.

I stand up, running a hand through my messy hair. I stare down the table at him, not letting my eyes off him.

‘’Dead or Alive?’’ I whisper.

A smirk appears on Andrew’s face as he stands up. He straightens his blazer as he looks at me.

‘’Either.’’
