It's Just You And Me Now
Chapter 12: That One
A/N: Love this chapter!
Dougie's POV
My heart drops. My face pales. My stomach twists. My mouth dries.
'What… What do you mean Harry's been robbed?'
'We were using his credit for tonight as we hadn't used it in a while, and we found this big chunk of money missing,' Tom tells me. I blink.
'When did you find out?' I ask hurriedly. I'm freaked out of my bones. Tom shrugs.
'Just today, when we were out.'
'Well do you have any idea who could've taken the money?' I ramble with questions. Tom shrugs again. I turn to Danny and Harry, who are both sitting, staring off into space. The cheery light in Danny eyes is slightly dimmed.
'Do you have any idea, Dan?' He looks at me.
'No, I don't. We've contacted the police about it, though. It was a real big chunk of money,' he informs me. I have a feeling that's all he knows about. Suddenly we hear Harry quietly talking, half to us, half to him.
'I don't get it.'
'What do you mean, Haz?' Tom looks over to him.
'This whole thing. I mean, how did the thief even do it? That bank is damn good when it comes to security, especially with our accounts. I don't see how it's even possible to hack into them with that amount of security,' he says. We all stop to think about it.
'Oh!' Danny pipes up. We all look up at him. 'Maybe whoever did it was really small, right, and so they were able to get in easier!' Tom, Harry, and I raise our eyebrows, slightly chuckling.
'Yeah… I'm not sure that's quite it,' Tom says slowly, ginning slightly.
'Well… The police are on it, right?' I ask.
'Yeah,' Tom says half-heartedly. Harry then stands up, a tired look on his face.
'Well, I'm going to bed. I don't exactly want to think about the multi thousand robbery that just happened on my account.'
And with that, he shuffles upstairs, and there no more discussion of it anymore that night.
Blink's POV
I'm sitting alone in the cellar, thinking about what had happened today with Dougie. That must've been the most awkward human interaction I've ever experienced. I wonder why he was so hell bent on getting forgiven. I mean, I was honestly starting to forget it a little bit myself. But he had said he hadn't slept since it happened. That's one hell of a guilty conscience, I guess.
I wish I could talk to someone about this, but Dodger and Sheen would both get mad and tell me what and idiot I am for forgiving him, and that's something I don't really want to hear.
I lie down on my bed and star at the ceiling while thinking about… everything, really.
I hear footsteps down the stairs and see Sheen out of the corner of my eye.
'Yeah?' I say before she can even say anything.
In a second she's right next to the bed and pulling me off, almost pulling my shoulder out of the socket.
'Come on,' she says urgently, 'you have to see this now.'
I follow her up the stairs to where Dodger is waiting for us. Dodger grabs my hand and starts leading me somewhere, Sheen at his side. Halfway though this weird fieldtrip, I realize we're going to the bank I took a 'loan' from a while ago.
Oh shit.
I wrench out of Dodger's grip and run ahead, the second the bank into view I see all the red and blue lights surrounding the bank.
Police are swarming the place, dogs sniffing around every corner. I look at Sheen and Dodger, my face pale.
'What happened?' I ask, my voice shaky. Sheen pulls a ripped paper from a magazine, and hand it to me.
'Turns out that shipment money came from someone a little more important than we thought.' I look down at the paper she gives me, and my stomach is suddenly in my throat.
There, on the paper, is Dougie and his band mates that I met at the bar. I start to fear the worst.
Sheen shoves her hand out and points at the one I recognize as Harry, and says the words I've been dreading since I got hold of the paper.
'That one. You managed to rob Harry Judd, famous drummer of hit band McFly.'
