The Queen and Her King

Rescue Plans

Third Person

Mal ran back to the hideout in a bit of a panic, not only was Ben swimming with the fishes if she didn't get Uma the wand, but Harry was gone and she had no clue where to go or what to do.

Mal picked up a rock and chucked it at the flying rocks sign and ran up the stairs two steps at a time, practically flying up to the door and throwing it open,

"Guys, we have a major situation!"

Mal shouted in a panic as the marched into the hideout, slamming the door behind her and making her friends who were simply chilling out jump to their feet as Mal jumped down into the main living area of the hideout,

"What's up?"

Evie said. Carlos furrowed his brow as his now rather close friend Harry wasn't with Mal,

"Where's Harry?"

He asked, Mal simply shook her head,

"I have no clue, that's situation number one. Harry went to go stand guard in the alley right next to the Chip Shop as he said and then I came back he was gone, but the alleyway looked a mess and there was a broken glass bottle with blood on it so I don't think he abandoned me"

Everyone took a second and processed in shock as Mal was just pacing back and forth,

"Mal he couldn't have willingly left you, yeah he's an old enemy of ours but there's one thing that Harry for sure is and it's loyal. He's with us now, he's loyal to us"

Jay reiterated, even though he and Harry didn't get along too well anymore he was still willing to give Harry the credit he deserved,

"Of course Harry wouldn't willingly abandon us! That's not who he is! Something about this is super eerie"

Evie said as she made all of her necessary hand gestures, her hands flying all over the place,

"Guys! You're ignoring a huge factor. Remember what Harry said right before you guys left? He said we were his ride home. We're his ride back to Brielle, he wouldn't stab us in the back now"

Carlos added, Evie nodded and looked back to Mal who was silently contemplating,

"Carlos is right, Harry could never leave Brielle not now especially and most certainly not like this"

Evie said as she gave her arms a rest from making gestures and crossed her arms. Mal sighed and closed her eyes for a second,

"I guess that's all right, I mean how could Harry leave Brielle? The thing is... he couldn't. Damn... somethings really wrong you guys..."

Mal slowly shook her head,

"... Well... not much we can really do about him now. I have no clue where he is or where he could've gone. I hate to say it but we don't have the time to go on a search for him, we have to focus on Ben"

Jay furrowed his brow and quickly shook his head,

"Harrys with us now and we're all ride or dies for each other. We have to be the same for him, he could be in serious trouble"

"But Mal's right, we don't have the time here"

Evie sighed, however, Carlos stepped forward and crossed his arms,

"We have to tell Brielle, she'd know what to do or where to start"

Everyone turned to him with surprise, however, Carlos stood his ground,

"Uhm, did you hear Harry? He's literally glad Brielle isn't involved. Could you imagine how angry he'd get if she got hurt or something?"

Jay stated, everyone nodding in unison to agree,
