Jungkook
*Early Morning at the hospital*
By the time we arrived at the hospital, Namjoon, Yoongi and Hoseok had already also arrived at the hospital. We had already managed to get some information. Taehyung was fine, just a few minor cuts that did not even need treatment. Jimin had a mild concussion from hitting his head while Jin needed a minor operation and stitches.
Taehyung explained to us what happened – how they were being followed and suddenly pressed by two other cars. He told us how the car was forced out of course and then they tumbled. They had heard Felix being dragged away while they were left alone.
‘It could have been much worse,’ Captain Sejin said as he rubbed his neck.
‘That’s true. The accident itself could have been worse,’ Taehyung said. ‘It just happened so fast and Jin couldn’t shake them off,’ he said.
Before he could continue explaining we heard running footsteps. I turned to look and saw Hana running in our direction. She seemed out of breath and like she had been crying. Of course she would.
‘Noona,’ I called out as I went in front of her. I grabbed her arms to try and slow her down.
‘Where is he? Where’s Jin? Is he okay?’ she asked, her eyes red and puffy. Her bottom lip trembled as she seemed ready to start crying all over again.
‘He’ll be okay noona,’ I said as I hugged her. I felt her cry into my chest as I rubbed her back.
‘I was so worried. I was told there was an accident,’ she mumbled.
‘There was noona,’ Taehyung said as she turned to look at him. ‘We were being followed and then our car was forced to crash,’ he explained.
‘The doctors said that Jimin has a mild concussion and will be transferred to one of the rooms and Jin needed a minor operation and he assured us he will be okay,’ Captain Sejin explained.
‘Why does he need surgery?’ Hana asked with big, wild eyes that still sparkled with tears.
‘On impact, a piece of metal had struck his side. He lost a little bit of blood and they wanted to repair the damage and do the stitches. He needed stitches on the inside,’ Hoseok explained to her.
‘Noona, please, don’t worry too much. If it’s any consolation, it’s Boram who is leading the surgery,’ Namjoon said, referring to his fiancé who worked as a doctor and surgeon in the emergency department.
‘I guess that does make me feel better Namjoon,’ Hana said with a small smile. ‘My mind had raced ahead. I’m sorry if I seemed like a madwoman,’ Hana said.
‘Hey don’t apologize Unnie. You’re his wife, of course you’re going to be worried,’ Misun said as she offered her a small but genuine smile.
‘I know his job is risky and I know it can be dangerous, but I still worry, you know?’ she asked, sounding calmer.
‘Of course you do. We can understand that,’ Yoongi said. ‘I know my wife is constantly worried about me just like I get worried about her,’ he added.
‘We just need to wait until the doctors say we can see them,’ Misun said. ‘Taehyung, while we wait, did Felix say anything in the car?’ she asked, turning back to work.
‘Oh yeah. He started blabbering a lot. He said how the group is very big. They use a toy factory as a front and the leader is someone called Cobra,’ Taehyung explained.
‘Wait did you say Cobra?’ Hana asked as all eyes turned on her.
‘Yeah. He said the rumours are that they are lead by a female named or nicknamed Cobra,’ Taehyung explained again.
‘I wrote an article about that once, a couple of years ago. They were involved in anything illegal you can imagine,’ Hana said.
‘Did you say toy factory?’ Yoongi asked as Taehyung nodded once again. ‘There’s only one toy factory in Seoul. It’s on the outskirts,’ Yoongi said.
‘He’s right. We need to start to move,’ Captain Sejin said.
‘Taehyung, Namjoon, Yoongi and Hoseok I want you to stay here. Wait for the news from the doctor. Jungkook and I can handle this,’ Misun said.
‘Misun-ah, I get the others but I’m a field agent. I can help, please let me help,’ Taehyung said.
‘Tae, you’ve just been in an accident. I don’t want you straining yourself,’ Misun said.
‘The doctors cleared me Misun-ah. I just have a few scratches and bruises but I’m good to go. Please, let me help catch the *s who hurt Jimin and hyung,’ he said.
‘Fine,’ Misun said, relenting. Maybe she could understand his need to do this.
‘I can help too. I can be your eyes in the sky Misun,’ Yoongi said. She looked at me, almost uncertainly.
‘Misun, Jimin and Jin won’t be alone. Hoseok, Hana and myself will be here. Don’t worry,’ Namjoon said.
‘Okay then. Come on, let’s get going. We need to devise a plan and call reinforcement,’ she said turning to Captain Sejin.
‘Already on it Misun. We’ll meet at the precinct,’ he said. We all nodded as we grabbed our things and hurried out of the hospital. We reached the car and quickly got in as I started to drive.
I looked at her briefly and saw her look so tense. She seemed worried but also angry. ‘You okay?’ I asked.
‘Yeah, I am now that I know that those three are okay but I still want to get the sons of *es who hurt my team members,’ she said a little angrily.
‘Well, I got your back princess. Let’s get them and close this case, hmm?’ I asked.
‘Yeah,’ she replied. ‘Jungkook?’ she called out, rather quietly.
‘Hmm? What is it princess?’ I asked.
‘Promise me you’ll be careful and not be reckless. I can’t afford to have another team member get hurt tonight,’ she said, sounding actually rather concerned.
‘Hey don’t worry about me. I promise to be careful. Can you promise to be careful too?’ I asked.
‘I promise,’ she replied with a smile.
Misun
Taehyung, Jungkook and I arrived with a SWAT team right behind us. We were all fully armed with bulletproof vests and head gear for protection.
We had our guns at the ready as we started heading towards the entrance quietly. I took my position in front with Jungkook and Taehyung right behind me.
‘Yoongi what’s our status?’ I asked through the comms.
‘There are around ten guards on the ground level. They’re all armed,’ Yoongi said.
We knew that the ground level was a front – all those people in there were working for the gang. They used the toys as a cover up to transport and export the drugs.
‘We use smoke bombs and go in,’ I said to the SWAT team leader. He nodded and relayed the information. We all put on the gas masks. I watched as the SWAT members surrounded the windows and threw the smoke bombs.
Suddenly, there was a lot of yelling and panic started happening as we all rushed in. The SWAT members were yelling their lungs out, telling them to go down to the ground and put their hands on their head.
The guards started shooting at us and the SWAT members retaliated. I took cover behind the wall as I saw one of the guards going to shoot an officer. I took quick aim as I shot him in the shoulder, sending his gun flying and him down.
I saw another one, going to shoot at another officer. I shot him in the leg but he still went to shoot so I shot him in the chest. I watched as he fell down to the ground.
I managed to make my way from the chaos as I reached for the door. Taehyung and Jungkook were both behind me as I opened the door and hurried down the stairs.
As we were going down, we came across four guards who quick took aim. We followed as we exchanged gunfire, sending all four of them down.
We hurried down the stairs as we found a number of people who were armed and Felix tied down to a chair. He had been stripped almost out of all his clothes. He was bloody, a clear sign of being beaten. The only sign that he was still alive was his laboured breathing.
The men raised their guns but a female raised her hand. My eyes fell on her as I instantly recognized her. I could not help but gasp a little in surprise.
‘Katerina,’ I said as she looked at me and smiled. She approached me and I raised my gun in warning as did Jungkook and Taehyung.
‘Aish, aren’t you going to greet your old friend Misun?’ she asked in a mocking tone.
‘You and I were never friends Katerina,’ I said quickly. I could see Jungkook and Taehyung exchanging looks. ‘We never really saw eye to eye, remember?’ I asked her.
I recalled our memories. We were teenagers in the same school but we could not be any more different than we were. I was an orphan and she was the daughter of a rich CEO. She was always proud and felt she was better than everyone else, exactly like her father. She was nothing more than your typic rich bully. It wasn’t a surprise if her father’s riches came from illegal doings and she inherited the whole lot.
‘Don’t tell me you’re still salty about me bullying you when we were teenagers,’ she said laughing.
‘You mocked my parents who had passed away. Yeah, I’m still salty, but guess what? Karma’s a *. I’m standing here and you’ll be going to jail,’ I said with a smug smile of my own.
‘Let’s not be petty Misun. Let me go and I can make you rich, richer than you can ever imagine, all three of you,’ she said but I scoffed.
‘You’re delusional. I thought you were supposed to be smart, guess not. Need I remind you that your men hurt three of mine? You’re under arrest Katerina,’ I said.
‘We’ll see about that,’ she said as she nodded at her guys.
They opened fire as we ducked behind the walls. ‘*,’ I heard Jungkook curse as bullets started to ricochet against the metals while I heard her walking away.
‘Cover me,’ I said as Jungkook and Taehyung nodded. They both stood as they started exchanging fire while I ran after Katerina who had disappeared into the other room.
I saw her and ran towards her just as she heard me and turned around. I managed to tackle her to the ground as we rolled in the dirt. My gun fell out of my hands as she managed to get on top of me as she punched me across the face.
I grunted as I used my leg and pushed her from the stomach. I turned so I was on top of her. I punched her using my right hand and then my left but she was quick to block my third.
She pushed me off of her as she stood up and I did as well. She pushed me into the wall, slamming me hard and then forcing me to use my knee to bring it to her stomach. She cried out in pain but grabbed me by the hair as she slammed my head against the metal pole.
Pain blinded me for a moment as I got slightly dizzy. I couldn’t help but groan and I could feel some blood trickle from my cheek. She kicked me in the back but I turned around and used my leg to kick her in the face. She stumbled backwards while I stopped for a moment to catch my breath.
‘You’ve gotten better,’ Katerina said as she smirked. ‘It’s a pity you’re wasting your time and effort to serve people who would never appreciate you,’ Katerina said.
‘It’s a pity that you’re using money to ruin lives instead of helping people,’ I said. ‘How did you end up like this anyways? You were daddy’s little rich girl. You had everything you could have wished for,’ I said.
‘You’re right. Daddy did give me everything – clothes, money, cars, jewels but he never gave me love and affection. So, I took it all,’ she said. I gasped for a moment as I blinked my eyes.
‘You killed your own father?’ I asked in shock and she shrugged.
‘It was quite easy actually. All I had to do was poison his drink and then I inherited the whole empire. I’ve been doing well too but Felix…that stupid son of a * blabbered too much. I knew we were in trouble the moment I saw you at the charity event,’ she said.
‘You were there,’ I said as she nodded. ‘Of course you were. You needed to make sure everything was going well. Too bad things didn’t really work out for you,’ I said, faking pity for her.
‘You haven’t caught me yet Misun. I’m still here,’ she said as she charged back at me. I took a step back as the two of us began a dance of hand-to-hand combat. She was always good at it, having had trained in Jujitsu as a child, but I was quite good myself too.
I blocked her hits and managed to get a few hits in there too. It was almost like a perfectly rehearsed danced as we kept going. She kicked me in the stomach, sending me a couple of paces back.
‘I’ve gotten tired of you and quite frankly bored,’ she said as she pulled out a knife. It wasn’t any normal knife as the hilt was beautifully decorated with a cobra.
She charged at me as I tried to block. I felt her knife scratch at my arm as I winced. The cut burned and I could not help but place my hand on it as I took a step back.
‘I don’t need to win this fight. I just needed to slow you down. The poison in that knife will finish you off,’ she said laughing.
‘You really do love your poison huh?’ I asked as I felt my legs already getting wobbly. She giggled and shrugged.
‘What can I say? They don’t call me Cobra for nothing,’ she said as she charged back at me. I managed to duck and I kicked the knife out of her hand. I used my hand as I punched in her throat, making her gasp out loud. I used my leg and kicked high across her head, knocking her out.
I stood trying to regain my breath but I was feeling dizzy. I felt my legs starting to give in as I fell to my knees.
‘MISUN!!’ I heard Jungkook and Taehyung yelling as they both rushed at me. I could feel my body start to sweat even though I was shivering. I felt hands holding me steady as I looked up to see their concerned faces.
‘Misun-ah, what’s wrong?’ Jungkook asked as Taehyung put his hand on my forehead.
‘She’s burning up and—’ he stopped as he grabbed my arm. ‘She’s been cut,’ he said.
‘Po—poison,’ I said. They both turned their heads towards me. ‘She said…her kn—knife had po—poison,’ I tried to explain as I winced slightly.
‘* we need to take her to the hospital,’ Jungkook said. Even in my drowsy state I could hear the urgency in his voice.
‘Jungkook, you take her. I’m going to make sure Cobra doesn’t escape,’ Taehyung said.
‘Got it. Come on princess,’ Jungkook said as he helped me to stand up but my legs felt numb. ‘*, I got you, don’t worry,’ he said as he suddenly picked me up in his arms.
‘Kooks, take this with you. Give it to the doctors, they might be able to work quicker,’ Taehyung said as he handed him the knife which he had put in a bag.
‘On it,’ Jungkook said as he grabbed without dropping me. I could feel him jogging with me still in his arms. He reached the stairs but things were beginning to get muffled.
I could hear yelling and shouting as he ran towards outside. Someone opened the car door as I felt him place me on the seat. I heard the car door slam shut and then the other one open and slam again.
‘Misun? Misun-ah stay awake!’ I heard Jungkook yell as he shook me.
‘I’m…I’m trying Kooks,’ I said as I continued to shiver. I felt him put his jacket on me as I struggled to stay awake. He started the engine and began to speed away.
‘Stay awake princess. Please, you’ve got to stay awake. Please, I beg you. I can’t lose you too,’ he said.
‘Ju—Jungkook,’ I called out. I felt tears spring out of my eyes before I could control them. ‘I’m scared,’ I said, unable to stop myself.
‘I know, I’m here. You’re going to be okay, I promise,’ he said as he reached for my hand while his other hand remained on the steering wheel. ‘Just hold on for me princess,’ he said as he squeezed my hand.
I squeezed it back as I nodded. I felt the car come to a halt as he let go of my hand. He ran out of the car and came out from the other side. He unbuckled the seatbelt and picked me up in his arms.
‘We’re here princess, they’re going to help you,’ he said as I rested my head against his chest. I could hear his heart racing while his breath was completely erratic while he ran inside with me still in his arms.
‘HELP!! SOMEBODY HELP US!’ I heard him scream as doctors or nurses rushed at us. ‘She’s been poisoned. Please, help her,’ I heard Jungkook say as he placed me on something hard.
Words started to become muffled while my vision blurred. I felt someone touch my face and shake me.
‘Hey!! MISUN STAY AWAKE!! PLEASE HOLD ON! MISUN!!’ I heard Jungkook scream as I was wheeled in to somewhere else.
