• I ran quickly up the stairs, where Yoongi was already waiting for me. Seokjin told us to come to his office as soon as possible, and I didn't even have to wonder what he might have wanted from us. From the moment we arrived in Los Angeles, Seokjin became increasingly impatient and anxious, but I couldn't blame him. I couldn't say that I understood him one hundred percent, because I could only imagine how he must have felt, realizing that our queen was now in the hands of those dirty angels. I shook off my disgust and finally joined Yoongi.
• - You are finally here. What took you so long? - he asked impatiently.
• - The mortals had caused an accident again and there were traffic jams. Especially since these jackasses started arguing and fighting, not caring about the presence of the police.
• - They don't need to be led down the wrong road, they get on it themselves - Yoongi snarled and together we entered Seokjin's office.
• - Hyung, you wanted to see us - I greeted him quietly, seeing that he was again standing staring at the window - did something happen?
• - No - Seokjin turned away from the window and approached us - but I think the time has come to start an open search.
• - What do you mean by open? - Yoongi asked, wrinkling his forehead.
• - I want you to start circling the city and try to find my queen. I want to see her at my side... I need her like never before.
• - But how are we supposed to find her if none of us know what she looks like now? - I asked, scratching my head slightly.
• - JK, really? - Yoongi made a facepalm - their smell, Jungkook. We'll use their *ing smell!
• - But they stink! - I protested quickly, recalling the stench of the angels - the last time we ran into them I thought I was going to barf!
• - I don't care if they stink to you or not! You're supposed to find them and I don't care how you do it! It makes me sick at the thought of his filthy paws touching my queen, do you understand?! Jimin and the others must finally pay for what they did to us! I can't lose her again! - Seokjin finally exploded, putting me into a stupor.
• - Forgive me, hyung - I began to quietly repent - I really... didn't mean to upset you. It's just...
• - We will find her and bring her to you - Yoongi interrupted me quickly - you don't have to worry about her staying in their hands.
• - No, you guys should only find her, I will take care of the rest myself - Seokjin stated.
• - Are you sure?
• - Yes. I don't want to force anything on her. I want her to come to me of her own free will. And I will do everything to make it happen.
• - It will be as you wish - I bowed my head slightly to him.
• - You have a free evening tonight, so make the most of it. Tomorrow first thing in the morning you are to set off on a search.
• We quietly left Seokjin's office and went downstairs to the living room. I plopped down on the couch, contemplating what strategy we would use tomorrow to carry out our assigned task. I was sure Yoongi already had a plan in mind, and I waited patiently until he began to present it.
• - Seokjin is getting angrier - Yoongi sighed lightly and sat down in his chair - so let's hope we can track them down quickly, because if we don't, it will be really hard to deal with him.
• - How big are the chances that we will find them quickly? - I asked quietly.
• - It's hard to say. On the one hand, we know their habits and preferences very well, and on the other hand....
• - It's a big city and there will be really many places to check - I finished his thought.
• - Exactly. In addition, we have to be careful that they don't notice us too soon, and that really won't be easy, because Jimin is certainly alert. After all, that's probably why they chose one of the biggest cities in the States, to hide.
• - I have no idea how we will carry it out, but I know one thing, we have to do it as soon as possible. I'd rather not be the one on whom hyung will lash out once he loses his patience - I shrugged slightly, not hiding the fear that appeared in my eyes for a moment.
• - So do I, which is why we will meet outside our club first thing tomorrow morning. Overnight I'll pick out the most likely places of their whereabouts and tomorrow we'll try to check them out - Yoongi rose from his seat and moved towards the door - get some rest, because something tells me that we have a lot of work ahead of us indeed.
• - See you tomorrow, hyung - I shouted after him and closed my eyes for a moment.
• I expected that we would be the ones entrusted by Seokjin with the mission to find our queen, but I was still surprised that he wanted us to do it openly. At the same time, I was worried that we wouldn't be able to find her, because the angels would somehow sense our presence and move her to another place. I realized that Hoseok would pose a serious problem for us because of his gift of predicting small fragments of the future, but I hoped that with Yoongi's gift we would somehow manage to avoid detection. Of all of us, only Yoongi was able to create a protective shield that blocked our detection by the angels, and sometimes he was even able to weaken their powers. Although I had to admit that the particular four we were to fight against did not have very powerful gifts. Predicting the future, healing and influencing nature or the weather did not pose too much of a problem for us. Seokjin hyung was a walking destruction and could manipulate mortals and even weaker angels over considerable distances. The closer he got to his prey the more he could take control of them, making them into docile puppets. Not to mention that his mental attacks were extremely painful. Yoongi was not only a shield, but he could also briefly copy his opponent's gift and use it against him, which proved helpful many times. And me? My gift still hadn't reached its full range, but I can already make a multi-story building go up in flames and burn to the ground in a matter of minutes with a single thought. Yoongi hyung assumed that I would soon be able to incinerate mortals and perhaps even angels from the inside, but I still had trouble controlling my gift at times which might ended up in disaster. Therefore, I still needed to be under Yoongi's protective shield, but I knew that now I havr to restrain my ambition and desire to please Seokjin, because I didn't want our queen to pay for my inability to control myself.
• I waited outside the ,,Underworld" nightclub belonging to Seokjin, wondering if I would be able to fully conceal my presence. I had been working on this almost from the very beginning, more specifically from the moment Yoongi revealed to me that I would be among those who would try to assist Seokjin in the fight against the angels. However, I still had problems with this, especially since I had not yet dealt with this particular group of angels, and I got all my information about them from Yoongi and a few demons who had come out alive from a clash with them. The demons rarely got into fights with the angels, as both sides tried to avoid each other, but there were occasional clashes when they fought for the soul of the same mortal. I myself had not yet participated in this even once, because I was busy training, but I knew very well that both Yoongi and Seokjin were veterans in this regard and had lots of experience.
• - I see you're already here - Yoongi rose beside me as if from under the ground - that's good, because you'll have more time to check your places. You have a list here, I've picked out the ones that are most likely to work.
• - So many?! - I exclaimed, looking at the A4 sheet written on both sides - it will take me a while.
• - I have a similar one, and I'll only be looking for one of them - Yoongi waved his sheet of paper - we'll be busy at least until the end of the week.
• - In that case, which one are you looking for?
• - I'm taking on Namjoon, you have the other three to find, but it's best if you focus on Taehyung. He is the youngest of the group, and also has slight problems with his gift, so it will be easier for you to find him.
• - Boring - I sighed disappointedly - can't we switch?
• - No, JK, Namjoon is too experienced to leave him for you. Don't get me wrong, you are already doing great, but Namjoon is a higher league. He was given the strongest gift among the angels and has already killed many of us. It may seem like just ordinary light rays, but even a small ray inflicts serious wounds that significantly weaken our regeneration. In fact, only Seokjin is able to face him as an equal.
• - Hyung, I understand, but... - I smiled sadly - I want to show Seokjin that he didn't make a mistake by choosing me. I want to show him that he can count on me and that I am strong enough to help out.
• - If you want Seokjin to value you, then find our queen while keeping her out of danger. That's the only thing I can advise you to do. She is the most important thing for us at the moment, and she is the one we should focus on. Therefore, concentrate on your task and keep your eyes and ears open.
• - You're right, I'll do as you say - I assured him quickly - in that case I'm off. I have a lot of places to check out. See you later, hyung!
• I moved with a quick step towards the main street, where, as I noticed, one of the schools on the list Yoongi had given him was to be located. I hoped to find Taehyung fairly quickly and be able to join Yoongi when he tracked down Namjoon. The more I learned about this angel, the more I wanted to see his powers with my own eyes. I had already seen what kind of massacre Seokjin can do when he gets properly enraged, so I didn't believe that any angel would be able to face him. With this thought, I hurried in the right direction, looking for the number where the first position on my long list was to be found.
