"I'm gonna ask you one more time..."

Louis walks slowly up in front of the beaten up man who's tied to a chair. Louis crouches down in front of the man and casually points his gun at the man's forehead.

"Who do you work for?"

The man raises his beaten face and looks into Louis' eyes and spits blood on the ground. He takes a few heavy breaths before leaning slightly forward.

"I'm not tellin' you nothin'."

Louis sighs and stands back up and walks over to a table by the corner of the room where his partner, Niall is sitting and taking notes on the situation.

Louis places the gun on the table and takes his jacket off to reveal his dress shirt and vest. He then loosens his tie a bit and puts his hands in the pockets of his black pants and walks casually back to the man again.

"Well if there's nothing you can tell me, then I suppose those boxes you have stored by to docks are useless. Guess we'll have to burn them."

The man flinches and looks up at Louis with an angry but also terrified look on his face.

"You can't do that!"

"Oh, but I thought they weren't important and were just filled with junk."

The man then panics, of course, remembering he's supposed to play it cool. Louis now has full control over the situation, in fact, he'd had that from the beginning but now it was just also clear to the man that he's fighting a losing battle.

"Well then since you seem to care about what happens to those boxes then why don't you tell me who you're working for and perhaps I'll reconsider."

The man then lowers his face and takes a few more breaths before the words comes out in a shaky and low tone.

"..."Nigrum Noctua"..."

Louis looks back at Niall who's writing the words down. He then looks back down at the man who still has his head down. He looks so scared and vulnerable.

Louis then walks back to Niall and looks over his shoulder to see what he had written down.

"It's the same story for the others we interrogated. Contacted from a burner phone, paid to receive these boxes probably filled with either weapons or drugs, and then keep them hidden until they're contacted again."

"So they're all pawns," Louis states.

"Seems like it, yeah. I really hope James has figured something out about this "Nigrum Noctua". What kind of name is that anyway? It's a ridicu-" Niall is cut off by Louis' phone ringing.

Louis quickly and smoothly takes his phone out of his pocket and brings it up to his ear.

"Tomlinson,"

"Louis, good you picked up." Marcel, Louis and Niall's boss says through the phone. "Did you and Niall finish the last interrogation?"

"Yeah. They all had the exact same story and they all lead back to the name "Nigrum Noctua". Has James found anything out yet?"

"He has indeed, which is why I'm calling. This case is much bigger than we thought. Come back to HQ now." He says before hanging up.

Louis puts his phone back in his pocket, grabs his jacket and swings it over his shoulder before walking over to the man who's still facing down.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Some of our men will come by to pick you up in a few minutes."

Louis then looks back at Niall who just finished writing down the last notes and they both exits the apartment building.

-

"Man, you gotta tell how you can keep your cool for so long like your intimidation skills are crazy." Niall laughs as we walk down the hallway towards the HQ's main office.

"Don't really know what there is to teach. It just comes naturally to me." Louis says and chuckles.

They get to the end of the hall and enters the office where tons of people and agents are walking around with important papers and folders or sitting at their desks and working. The whole place has been pretty busy because of all the stuff that'd been happening with this "Nigrum Noctua" person.

"Ah! There you are. Come over." They see Marcel wave them over. Marcel is leaning against the wall with a folder in his hands. When they came over, all three of them heads directly to the lab where James is working.

"Guys, this shit is seriously crazy like I don't think we've ever had a case this big before!" James instantly says as they enter the lab. As they walk over to his round desk, he brings up some files and pictures on a big screen.

"Tell them everything," Marcel orders.

Pictures and files of all the guys they had interrogated are up on the screen along with pictures showing the boxes and what they contain.

"So as we figured, all these guys were pawns for "Nigrum Noctua" which seemed to be some big boss' alias, but after I dug deeper down the rabbit hole, I came across something HUGE, you guys!" James started. "Guys. "Nigrum Noctua" is Latin and means "Black Owl", which is the underground community is the alias for, drumroll please, Harry Styles!" James rambles and is obviously very hyped about this.

"You're kidding, right?" Niall asks James in a kinda pleading way.

"I see you meant it when you said that this case was much bigger then we thought," Louis says, looking at Marcel.

"Yes. Much, much bigger. This man has caused too much trouble for us and has always been behind or a part of all our recent cases. It's time we bring him down for good." Marcel states.

"Aaaaand how do you suppose we do that?" Niall asks clearly curious since Harry isn't exactly known for being easy to catch, let alone locate.

"We don't," Marcel says and turns to look at Louis. "Louis will."

"Me?" Louis asks.

"You're my most skilled agent and you have the most experience with going undercover. I want you to take this case alone, Louis." Marcel says.

"He'll be going undercover?" Niall asks surprised. "Undercover how?"

"Undercover as a new recruit to Harry's gang, of course," Marcel states.

"As a what?!" Niall exclaims and looks downright shocked like it's the craziest thing Marcel could've ever said which it kind of is.

"No doubt that this mission is going to be quite the challenge. You can't be in contact with anyone from here, you can't have Niall with you, you can't have any special technology." Marcel informs as he crosses his arms.

Louis looks down for a moment to go over what kind of mission he will agree to. He would have to literally get as close to Harry Styles as possible so he could bring him down for good, without any help from anyone. Louis would be all on his own.

"I'll take the mission."
