Call Me a Spy

Chapter 15: What?

Zayn gaped at him. "What?"

"You heard what I said," Louis replied.

"But we told him we'd take care of her!"

"Yes. So we will."

"But he said it's not safe with us."

"And did he present any evidence to back that thought up?" Louis asked, arms crossed.

"No..."

"Then how do we know it's what's best for her?"

"Because he told us!"

"But how can we trust him?"

"He's her father and he's our mentor!"

"He could be a bad man in a disguise!"

"Seriously?" Zayn narrowed his eyes.

"No, but he's also a spy. Spies lie."

"Blake doesn't."

"Oh really? What's her real name?"

"Well..."

"Exactly. Spies lie. Or at least, they don't share the truth."

"But you saw him with your own eyes. You saw how torn he was."

"For all we know, he won an Academy Award in a past cover."

"Yeah, okay, go ahead and believe it."

"Do you seriously believe him when he says we're dangerous?"

"He doesn't think we're dangerous. He thinks it's dangerous company!"

"Really? Explain the difference. I didn't think you could. How could she be safer on her own than with us?"

"I don't know, but I'm going to trust him."

"She's your girlfriend. Don't you even care about her safety?"

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"Oh, so now you agree that she is a liar!"

"Oh, this is ridiculous."

"You don't have a response now, do you?"

"Of course I have a response. Guys, you aren't seriously gonna side with him, are you?" Zayn looked at his bandmates. They all looked away. "Guys..." Liam and Niall murmured apologies before walking out the door. Louis tried to cover up the smug look. Zayn turned to Harry, but Harry was too caught up in his own thoughts to respond. Dejected, Zayn left the flat. It was decided.
