The tone of Daniel's voice in the wake of that pause pulls Louis onto his feet. Alarm sparking a mean rush of adrenaline through his body, building as Daniel rushes through his request. Has the audacity to say I understand if that's not a possibility.

There is only one him. Daniel doesn't have to say a name.

"Daniel."

Insistent. Urgent.

Immediate dread dropping like a stone into his stomach. Armand took him. Armand took Daniel and it's why Daniel wasn't answering his phone. Armand has him.

Louis' fear is near-paralyzing, but he boxes it up. Puts it away. Striding through the penthouse in search of Rashid as he asks:

"Does he mean to stay there with you? For at least a few more days?"

It will take some doing to get a plane into the country. Not impossible, only difficult.
