THE DEATH OF YOU

Harry's pov

"Zach Walker," Hendrix points at the board on the wall. My old manager's photo taped next to Justin's.
"Father and son," he points from photo to photo.
"Zach Walker.." I take a step closer to the photo and inspect it. I feel everyone's eyes on me but I take my time.
"Zach.. he was my American manager.. Justin can't be his son.. he would have told me.. I would have known!" I turn to tell them.
"Do you know Zach's children?" Hendrix questions.
"I.. I can't remember.. There was a little girl.. She used to come to the tracks with her dad sometimes," I try and remember more.
"So anyway, we contacted the police over there.. They are trying as we speak to locate Zach.. no luck so far," He stares at me.
"What does that mean?"
"Well.. We aren't sure yet.. I can tell you it doesn't seem very good.. we did get a report though.. did you know Zach had a gambling problem?" Hendrix raises his brows at me.
"No.. maybe.. I don't know.. I cannot remember," I mumble.
"This.. this is insane! Justin is my roommate! He is English! He has an accent just like mine! I would have known if he wasn't! I would detect it!" Liam finally speaks, shaking out of his shock.
"Mum's British.. that might be how he picked up the accent son, let me take this," Hendrix answers his phone and walks out of the room.
"What does this mean Harry? How does Justin's dad's gambling problem connect with Justin taking Cassie?! This makes no sense to me!" Liam bangs on the table.
"Come on.. we should go back to the others.. fill them in," I decide.
When we enter everyone looks up at us.
"Zach.. Justin's dad was my manager back in California life.. apparently he had a gambling problem.." I tell them.
"So what? He was gambling.. lost money and took Cassie for what?" Sarah inquires.
"Maybe.. Harry.. maybe his dad had money betting on you.. and then you got into an accident and he lost the bet... maybe that is why they took Cassie? For money?" Eleanor jumps up.
"You're good! That is not far from what we think happened.. we just spoke to Justin's mum.. the younger girl was taken too, and Zach beaten badly. He owes some bad people a lot," Hendrix claims entering the room.
"How much money? I have money.." I snap.
"We aren't sure.. the mother confessed Justin was sent to help get into your circle and find a way to get the money his dad owes."
"Shit!" I slam my hands down.
"So Justin was pushed into this because of his dad.." Liam says slowly.
"Doesn't change the fact he helped take Cassie! He should have gone to the police! Or at least tell us what was going on.. we could have helped! Now look where we are!" I shout.
"Oh?! As if you'd be turning to the police if Cassie wasn't pestering you about it! You'd be doing the same thing Harry so don't shit us!" Sarah yells at me. Her face is red. She is holding back tears and I feel like shouting back but know better. She is right after all.. I would have done the same thing.. but.. "I would have never hurt others in the process," I snap.
"Cut it out.. just stop yelling.. this isn't helping," Sam finally breaks his silence.
"What now?" Louis asks.
"Well.. we are following the street cameras.. hopefully that will give us something.. our friends in the states are trying to break down people on their end so we hope we'll have some answers soon," Hendrix hums.
"We should all try and get some sleep," Eleanor finally says.
"Some of you can stay with Julie, Cassie's roommate and some with me," Liam offers.
"Dad and I have a hotel room.. so you guys can split between Cass and Liam.." Sarah mumbles.
"I'm staying!" I inform.
"No.. no Harry... you go.. get some sleep and tomorrow we will see what you can remember," Hendrix decides.
The party of people start getting up and shuffle out of the room and station.
Once out Sarah catches my hand in both of hers and gazes up at me.
"We will find her Harry... I know we will!" She states.
"How?"
"Because.. no one loves anyone in this world more then we love Cassie! and we won't let her be away from us.. and she was dealt such an afoul hand.. she has wasted her bad luck for this life time.. it needs to turn good sooner then we know," she promises. I nod since there is nothing more I can say. She steps closer and I let her hug me.
We follow her, Sam and Guy as they get into the car and drive off.
"So where are we headed?" Louis inquires.
"To Liam's! I want to go through Justin stuff!" I say sharply. Making up my mind.
"Isn't the police doing that?" Eleanor crinkles her forehead.
"They should.. but it doesn't seem they are.. or that there is enough men power.. I don't know.. I think I might call Scotland Yard and give them a piece of my mind about this godforsaken station!" I growl as I open the passenger seat to Louis's car.
His car is a piece of shit and I make a mental note that once this is over we will be making him get a new one.
Liam orders Louis the turns to his dorm room.
Once there we pull out and up the stairs to the building.
"These are the dorms?" Eleanor looks around.
"Well.. the smaller ones.. Cassie lives in the flat dorms which are bigger and look and feel like an actual home," Liam replies.
I head straight to Justin's shelves and start taking things off and looking through everything.
"Ok boys.. let's give him a hand!" Eleanor calls the others to work and we all start going through all his belongings.
After about half an hour we give up. There is nothing.
"This makes no sense! No way he keeps such a big secret to himself! It would eat him alive!" I exclaim.
"Where is his laptop?" Liam suddenly questions.
Probably the car no? And the police then for sure have that!" Eleanor sighs.
"Yeah well no.. Justin had two... his school work one and then a small tablet kind of computer!" He pushes us off of Justin's bed and starts taking everything off, lifting the sheets and pillows.
"Pull out the bed!" Eleanor orders and we do. Nothing there.
"Liam check your things!" I suddenly stand straight.
"My stuff? Why?"
"Because.. if you want to hide something then leave it in plain sight or in a place no one would think to look!" I shift to Liam's bed and look underneath.
Bingo.
"That was a little too easy.." Louis states, folding his arms.
"Maybe he wanted us to find it?" Liam offers.
"If the police were any smarter they would have ripped this place apart looking through all of your things no matter what belongs to Liam or Justin," I claim, sitting down on the bed.
I open the tablet and try to navigate but I'm not strong with these kind of gadgets and so Liam being the computer geek takes over.
We sit quietly and watch him.
"This is interesting..." Liam hums.
"Oh my fucking god! Harry! This is how he spoke to the people he was helping!" Liam shows me the screen. An email account.
"You should call detective Hendrix Harry! Give him that.." Eleanor notes.
"When I'm done with it!" I snap. I hear the hiss out of Louis's mouth but I ignore it.
"This is a different email account from what he used to use with us.. his friends.. he is letting them know about our reaction to their calls and texts.. this is sick!" Liam shakes his head.
"Wait! There is a letter- Harry this is a letter to us!"
I take the tablet and bring it closer to my face.
"Read out loud Harry!" Eleanor demands.

'If you found this it means the plan is in motion. You should know I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to hurt anyone. But my family is everything to me and they were going to hurt them. I promise I'll do my best to keep Cassie safe until the police find us. I wish I could tell you our location but I don't know where it is. I can help with some clues though.
Dad has a bad gambling problem and he owed a lot of money to this dude called Jermaya Covonov. He is a powerful man and has really bad people working for him.
He couldn't pay Jermaya and promised he'll pay back through Harry. Jermaya told him betting on Harry won't give him anything since everyone knows he will win. So dad said he'll get Harry to race in a motorbike race which he has never done before and that Harry will win.
He tried to get Harry to do so but Harry refused.
However, Harry agreed to race when a few days later dad got to the tracks his face smashed in by Jermaya's men.
This was kept a secret since they didn't want people knowing how good Harry has become and have people betting about his high place rankings.
As you all know Harry never attended that race which meant Jermaya never got his money.
Jermaya sent his people to my family home and they took my dad and beat my little sister. Then Jermaya said it was up to me to get the money. If I don't he promised to kill my sister.
So I agreed to help and that is how we planned to find out what is most precious to Harry and take it to get him to race again. Motivate him the way I was motivated to help Jermaya.
In here you will find everything you need to bring him down. Please. Hurry.'

We are all quiet, staring at each other.
"Why didn't he go to the police with this?" Louis breaks the silence.
"Because they will know it is him.. and his sister would get hurt.. I know his sister.. she shouldn't be punished," I whisper.
"Harry... why haven't you raced? Why did you quit?" Eleanor questions in a low voice.
"I don't know.. I cannot remember.. I can't remember any of this!" I am about to smash the tablet out of frustration but Liam manages to take it before I do.
"Call Hendrix!" Louis orders. I nod and fish out my phone.
"Detective Hendrix!" He answers on the first ring.
"You are one shitty detective do you know that?" I tell him, the anger rising inside me with every breathe I take.
"Excuse me?!"
"Do you know who Jermaya Covonov is?! Well let me tell you! He is the dick fuck behind the kidnapping! He bullied Justin into helping him by beating his little sister and taking his father! Now why the fuck do I know this and not you?! Why am I doing your fucking job!?" I scream down the phone.
"Calm down Styles and tell me where the hell you are! I told you to go sleep not take on the investigation!" The detective yells back.
"What fucking investigation?!? Your people aren't doing shit!!" I shout.
I'm about to course the man out when the phone is snatched out of my hands.
"Detective? We are at Liam and Justin's dorm room.. we found a tablet with all these things on it.. please come," Eleanor, the voice of reason says.
She hangs up and gazes up at me.
"Sit there and don't move! You can try and remember why the hell you never attended that race and how you got in such an accident," she orders. Her voice calm which what scares me.
I do as I'm told and a few moments later the police, followed by the detective fill the room.
I'm about to open my mouth again when my phone rings.
"Shit! It's them!" I yell, getting the rooms attention.
"Put them on speaker!"
I do as I'm told.
"You son of a bitch!" I answer.
A laugh is sounded.
"Good. Know I have your attention Mr. Styles."
