Author's note: THIS IS It! THE PENULTEMAT CHAPTER! Time to see Marius, the boss (Finn, Finn 'the boss'), stalker dude and the Enjonine in the same chapter. While writing this I used a lot of music influence from fall out boy and a list of the songs will be down below.
Trigger warning: Drug references, swearing, maybe violence
Disclaimer: *insert evil laugh here* I kidnapped Victor Hugo. So I am not him.

Chapter 24
Stalker dude, Patrick is his name p.o.v
I walked quickly through the damp corridors that smelt like whiskey, smoke, weed and gun powder. This was the tigers den and I have a feeling that I'm the main course. There were men of all ages. Some younger than me, some were ancient. "Patrick, the boss wants you now!" One man growled at me. Making me physically gulp. I walked down the hall ways, praying that I don't end up as a pin cushion or become like a human piece of Swiss cheese. I entered the room which had a thick smoke hanging around making me claustrophobic. "Ah Patrick. I see you get in here with out to much hassle. It would be a shame if they killed the messenger, before he delivered the message at least." He said this in such a sinister and demonic way that I was hoping that I could get out soon. He was playing with what looked like a meat clever in his hand. "So have you been doing what I asked of you?" He asked in a fake pleasant voice. "Y-y-yes. I followed them around the last months." I said shakily. I mentally counted how long. Late February was when I started so it's been 2, 3, 8 months, as it was late October now. "Good. Now what have you found out. As we haven't spoken at all since then and I need to know EVERYTHING." He glared me down. Taking a sip of what looked like beer, but you can never be sure with these lot of anything. "Well she lives in a rather nice area with a man called Enjolras. She's in University, studying drama and music." I said but he was looking very enraged when I mentioned the man. "She's fucking a bourgeoisie now is she? WHAT ELSE!" He roared at me. "She is pregnant." I said quietly. He was a seething mess of anger now. "The fucking slag!" He screamed at me. I was starting to panic as he still had the knife in his hand and was waving it about. "What is the bastards address?" He asked, composing himself quickly. "Um they live 72 Oakton way, Muswell Hill." I said. It's my neck or theirs. And I like my head firmly attached to my body. Some say it cowardly to put a women, never mind a pregnant one in harm's way. I say I'm preserving my life. "Patrick, you can leave. You ever say anything of the last months to ANYONE! I will make you rue the day you were born." With that I was shoved out of the room and I left the horrid flat.
*On some random tube*
On the way home. I felt a heavy set guilt gnaw at my insides. What is he going to do to her? Why did I put her in that creeps path? Snap out of it Patrick. It's a dog eat dog's world and you need to look out for yourself and yourself only. Sure it is normally cowardly, selfish and just wrong. But can you honestly say you wouldn't contemplate doing what I had done? Also I had some serious shit with that freak. You need to have some sort of 'protection' where we live and I have my younger siblings to care for. If I get into any major issues with the gangs like them. They will suffer more. So I am not just looking out for me. But for my younger brother and sisters. But I can't not do something. I went towards the café I had been watching them for the last months. On the way there. I saw a student who seemed like the type of guy you could trust. "Hey you. Can I ask you something?" He seemed unsure. Well you would be unsure if some random guy came up to you in a street. I probably smell like I've been popping dragons and been drinking. "Do you know Eponine Thénardier?" I ask him. He nods reluctantly. "She is big danger. You need to warn her and Enjolras." I tell him seriously. "Why what's happening?" He asked wide eyed. "There is this guy and he is a leader of one of the most vicious gangs in London. He is going after to her." I aid he narrowed his eyes. "Who is it?" He asked me harshly. "I do not know. All I know is that he is very angry and has been drinking." I warned him. Also half hiding the truth. "Well, I better got then. Thanks…?" He asked me. "It is best for me and you, if you don't know my name." I said before running away in to the reclusive alleyways that had a lingering air of pain and despair.
Marius's p.o.v (It has been a while)
When the strange man retreated. What the fuck do I do now? The only person I've stayed in contact with is Courfeyrac. I'll have to tell him. He will believe me. Hopefully. I started running down the streets, towards his flat. I had learned that Enjolras and Eponine ha moved out when Courf told me. So I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I heard someone coming towards the door. I saw Gavroche open the door. He had changed over the time I haven't seen him. He had grown so much. Even though that sounded so cringe and cliché but it was true. "What are you doing here?" He was glaring daggers into my eyes. "Gav, I need to talk to Courf urgently. I know you despise me. But your sister's life and Enjolras's lives are in danger." I pleaded with him. "Courf's out and so is Azelma." He said, narrowing his eyes. Just like I had done at the man who told me this. "Gavroche. I know you don't believe me. But please do and I need you to help me." I was so close to puling my hair out in panic. Sure I had fucked everyone over and hadn't been in their lives for almost a year. But I would hate myself even more if they get hurt. "Ok, I believe you. So what do we do?" I ponded on this question for a short while. "Will the Amis be in Musain?" I ask. He shakes his head but quickly nods. "Grantaire, Bahorel and Jehan might be there. Let's check before we think about going anywhere else." Gavroche wrote a note for Courf and stuck it on before locking it and joining me.
We ran to the Musain. And true to his word Grantaire, Bahorel and Jehan were there. They cast looks of irritation, anger and confusion at me. "Guys, you need to help us." Gavroche told them. Bahorel put his cards down. "Why should we help that twat?" He snarled. Wow I feel so welcome. "Because we are not helping him but Eponine. She's in danger." He said distraught. "No Roche he's messing with us. How would he know?" Jehan said looking up. "First of all I may have fucked you all over. But I have done some growing up. I am no longer up in the clouds. My feet are firmly planted on the ground. You don't know how much pain I'm in looking back at how much of a bastard I was to you lot. I know this isn't an adequate apology. But I do know that Eponine and Enjolras are in danger and we need to help them. After this you can all go back to having a vendetta against me and I will go back to being a social pariah. But please note that this is something I wouldn't ever joke about." I ranted. You would need a chain saw, never mind a knife to cut this tension. You could hear a pin drop. "Then what do we do?" Grantaire finally spoke up. "We have to go to their house as soon as possible." I say grimly. Though relieved that they believed me and glad I had that rant out of my system.
We quickly left. Bahorel driving quickly down the streets. We quickly arrived. "Marius you would be better off inside the car right now. Enjolras might still be pissed. You know how stubborn he is never mind his grudges." Jehan warned as we slowed down. But before we could park. I noticed four men like bears sneaking around the back of the house we parked in front of. I knew instantly that this was Enjolras's and Éponine's house. I went to say something but they had left the car before I could. I quickly and clumsily got out of the car. "Marius! What are you doing?" Jehan hissed as I came running over. I noticed Enjolras at the door glaring. "Sorry Enjolras for everything but there are four men sneaking through your back garden and they want to harm you and Eponine." He seemed to believe me and we all quickly ran to the back garden where we saw them smashing a window. I heard Eponine scream when she noticed them "Montparnasse!" Who had an evil glint in his eyes and was going redder than I ever had thought. I thought his head was going to explode.
"Long time no see Eponine. I see you are still believing you are better than us." He said almost gleefully. I knew it was fake. From what Eponine had told me before. He is not the person you want to bump into in a dark alley on a dark night. From the portrayals he makes the Devil seem like the Easter bunny. "What do you want Parnasse?!" She hissed. Her hands covering her stomach. Which I had just noticed. Wow a lot has changed. "I want you back. You 'ave ad the good life for to fucking long. Now it's time for reality to come knockin on ya doors. Come back to where ya belong." He warned her. Enjolras positioned him protectively in front of her. "Get away from here." He snarled at Montparnasse, making him chuckle darkly. "You don't know rat's ass pretty boy. Now go back to your colouring books little boy and leave this to actual man." I saw Enjolras shaking with anger as Montparnasse came closer. "Now Eponine, you little slut, come with us and no 'un is gonna get too hurt! I can't promise anything for pretty boy 'ere though." Montparnasse returned to his former demeanour. If I had to have a tea party with either him or Juan Borgia. Juan Borgia would win by far. I slyly backed out of sight and pulled out my phone quickly calling 999. Before creeping back into the action. Moments later we could here sirens and Montparnasse looked like a deer caught in headlights. They quickly tried to run but the police had caught them before they got far. We questioned and they left. When I heard Eponine panic. "Enjolras the babies are coming!"

Author's note: So Mwhahaha evil stop there. I have to keep you lot on your toes. Sticky stars for if you thought Montparnasse was 'the boss' and yes the babies are coming. Don't worry we still have a while before this is over. This is also the longest chapter I HAVE EVER WROTE!
Music used to inspire this chapter. (Please listen to these songs as fall out boy is awesome.)
Thnks Fr Th mmrs (That is the correct name)
The phoenix
Sugar, we're going down
Rat a Tat
Just one Yesterday
"From now on we are Enemies"
(Coffee's for closer)
I slept with a member of fall out boy and all I got was this stupid song written about me
I don't care
Young Volcanoes'
My songs know what you did in the dark (light 'em up)
Hum halleluiah
The mighty fall
Dance, dance
Don't you know what I think I am
I'm like a lawyer with the way I'm always trying to get you off.
Our lawyer made us change the name of this song so we wouldn't get sued.
These songs heavily inspired this chapter and do not be fooled by the names they are not that bad ;)

Last time on the barricades
Jehan wanted a unicorn. He was heavily disappointed when they told him they don't exist. Enjolras was still a killjoy
Warning: No unicorns were harmed in the making of this barricade
Me: Grantaire have you still got the animal?
Grantaire: No I lost it. Of course I've still got it.
Me: Good, maybe this will stop Jehan's crying.
Grantaire: It better, we ran out of tissues.
*Sneaks behind the barricade and rips of revolutionary flag covering a Shetland pony.*
Me: Nurse.
Grantaire: Yes…
Me: Pass me the ice cream cone.
Grantaire: *passes the ice cream cone*
Me: Glue and glitter…
Grantaire: *passes the glue and glitter*
Me: Now let's make this cone glittery.
Grantaire: Enjy's brain is going to melt.
Me: That's a bonus. Now pass the cello tape.
Grantaire: Cello tape *passes the cello tape*
Me: Voilà, we have a unicorn for Jehan.
*Recovers the 'unicorn' with Enjolras's flag*
Jehan: *crying* what is that
Grantaire: we have something for you.
Jehan: Under the flag?
Me: No on the moon…
Jehan: *Removes Enjy's flag* Oh my butterflies it's a unicorn *squeals like a little girl at a one direction concert*
Enjolras: What was …? *brain fries.*
Combeferre: I think you broke him.
