“A grizzly scene this morning as LAPD arrived to a what appears to be a double homicide and a suicide. One LAPD Detective and two former members of the pop band One Direction have lost their lives…”

Five Hours Earlier -- KAT P.O.V
Jason and I went back to the I.T. department as soon as we heard the news, I knew he’d be with Harry. It had to be what happened. I gave the tech guy some information and he was able to locate Harry by his cell phone. He gave us the address and we were out the door. We rushed up the winding hills and turned our lights off once we noticed the condo at the end of the street. It wasn’t one we’d been to before though, but sure enough we saw Harry’s Range Rover in the driveway.
“You go around back; I’ll take the front entrance.” Jason said as we loaded our guns and began making our way out of the car.
“Should I call backup?” I asked, looking frantically for a radio in the car. Jason put his hand on mine and shook his head. “No, we can do this on our own.” He said, his pride clouding his judgement. I sighed and we both got out of the car, I crouched down as I walked against the back of the house, trying my hardest to be stealthy.
I felt my foot sink into the soil as I stumbled to catch my balance, I fell to my knees but luckily I didn’t make too much noise. The dirt was damp and silenced my fall. I stood up and began carefully walking towards the back.
I saw a light coming from the large sliding doors and instantly pressed my back to the wall, my heart was pounding, my fist clenched tight against the handle of my gun.
I heard their muffled voices, Harry and someone else. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I slowly snuck a peek, blonde hair. It was Niall Horan.
I heard Jason abruptly yelling at them to drop their weapons, damn him. He didn’t wait and he’s going to get hurt. I turned and looked at Harry’s and Niall’s backs which were facing me now. I noticed a pool of blood at their feet and laying lifelessly to the side was Zayn Malik with a gun still clenched in his hand.
I couldn’t control my gasp when I watched the altercation unravel before my eyes. Jason was slowly walking toward them, his knees bent slightly, his gun pointed between the two of them, telling them not to move and to come quietly. Harry didn’t say a word, but Niall was babbling on and on about how they needed to get out of there. I was slowly approaching when I watched Niall’s gun rise and his finger pull against the trigger. I gasped when Jason hit the floor, the newly formed hole in his head bleeding out. Harry and Niall turned around simultaneously and spotted me. I was still pointing my gun at the door, more so at Niall than at Harry.
I’d been in this situation so many times before, only this time my partner had died and I’d slept with one of the criminals.
“Drop your weapons…” I stammered, walking near the door and sliding it down.
“Please, we don’t have to do this…” I reasoned, but before I knew it I felt Niall’s hand on my blouse, tugging me inside and holding me tight so that I couldn’t get free. He slapped the gun out of my hand and I felt the barrel of his on the side of my head. It was as if every bit of training I’d ever had just escaped me and here I was, a helpless victim.
“Harry, we can’t have any witnesses mate.” Niall’s voice was full of rage. He was wet with sweat and smelled like dirt. Maybe it was me that smelled like dirt, I couldn’t differentiate, that’s how close we were.
Harry blinked and looked down at his gun, “Please Harry….” I managed to whimper, he looked up at me and then stared off into the distance.
Then he exhaled and lifted his gun, pointing it right at my head. This was it, this was how I died. I had been blinded by his affection and my vanity got the best of me and here I was. About to die because I had a crush on a boy who turned out to be a psychopath. I watched his finger squeeze the trigger, it was like everything was going in slow motion.
Instantly I heard the pop and felt Niall’s hands loosen as he fell backwards. I turned to see him with a hole perfectly shot in the middle of his forehead.
“You’re right…” Harry mumbled before rushing over to me and grabbing me in his arms.
“Are you hurt?” He asked, looking me over. I shook my head, I was in shock, but I wasn’t physically hurt.
“What happened…” I said, dumbfounded as I looked at the bodies that were on the floor around us.
Harry shook his head…. “Niall…. he…. he killed Shelby.” I looked up at him, so confused.
“He said he did it for me, to get revenge for her cheating with Zayn… he made Zayn shoot himself….”
I blinked, Niall had been the mastermind? I wasn’t sure if he was telling the truth, but I still melted into his arms. My tears flowing freely now as I realized that I’d lose my partner.

“I never meant for you to see any of this, I don’t know what I was thinking… He just had such a good argument, I was blinded by grief…” Harry defended, looking down at me. “I didn’t know Niall was such a sociopath, I promise Kat. Please believe me.” I saw the tears welling up in his eyes and I knew I had to believe him, how could I prove anything else happened? It was only us left now, just the two of us in the middle of chaos.



Harry POV

"Detective Kat Ross and former One Direction member Harry Styles are the only survivors from what can only be described as a massacre. The scene took place at Niall Horan’s condo in the hills, a gun battle that was the result of late photographer, Shelby Waldorf who had been in a relationship with Mr. Styles, but also with now deceased Zayn Malik who was the lead suspect in her murder trial. Only last night it was revealed that the Ireland native, Horan, was responsible for the events that transpired. I’m Mary Entreken and we’ll have more on this story after the break.”

I turned the television off, Kat had fallen asleep on my sofa. She said she didn’t want to be alone tonight, I offered to get us a hotel so that we could escape momentarily.
This time will be different.
This time she’ll love me.
This time I won.
