"Sorry, I got here as quick as I could! I brought things." He slapped down a piece of paper with hastily scribbled down addresses and club names. "These are places that Cheon likes to party and Ten. I asked the guys at the club to give me some ideas and that was what they came up with but they don't know a lot. I'm sorry." He wanted to help more.
"It's okay, kid. It's okay." It wasn't. They were all freaking out. Namjoon had a horrible feeling that Jimin and Tae might not last this night out if this was all true.

Yoongi looked at the list, then immediately started texting the addresses to some people, one after the other. He had men at his disposal after all, that wasn't really the issue. The issue was that he had no idea where to even begin searching.
"If it's Cheon, then it's likely a suicide mission." Yoongi said it calmly while typing, trying to keep his focus. "We know that he was obsessed with wanting to fuck Jimin up even before. Guessing that's more of a thing now."
For obvious reasons. "Don't know what he'd want with Tae. Guessing he's just along for the ride, so he might have killed him already." He might as well prepare them for the possibility.
Hobi had his arms wrapped around himself, holding on to the hat he'd given Ten earlier and wondering what he could have done to prevent this.

"Some of the girls were very sure that if they went to any club, it'd be these two." Jungkook pointed out the two names though he had a feeling that it wasn't a club they went to. Shit, Tae was probably dead and Jimin wouldn't be far off. He felt sick just thinking about it, he didn't want Tae to be dead. He liked those kids, he didn't want them to be dead. Tae and him had already started a game together and he wanted to finish it.
"They might be alive." Namjoon insisted but it was hard to be sure. Tae may not be but Jimin? There was a good chance. He turned and reached out, placing a hand on Hobi's shoulder. "Did Ten say anything to you? Anything at all?"
Jungkook frowned and turned his head, looking over at the hat and Hobi. They were a thing, weren't they? Fuck. "Maybe they all ran away or Ten backed out last minute? They could just be hiding."
It was possible... but again, unlikely.

"No. Nothing about this. Just that he's been sick, since he looked so pale and I asked about it. I think his back was hurt? I don't know. I didn't think about it at the time." Just in retrospect he was trying to put things together. "He's... I know he's basically been abused by someone without even being aware of it, I guess that asshole got back to him."
Cheon, of course.
Yoongi finished typing, hating how he was back to having nothing to do right now. He had to find Jimin, he knew that Jimin would believe that he was going to save him. He just had to, there was no alternative. "Tae had his gun and he's not bad at using it, so since we've heard nothing so far, I'm guessing they got drugged. Cheon likes using drugs, we know that. That drug he always used takes a while to wake up from, doesn't it?" He looked at Namjoon for confirmation. "They might still be out of it."
Which meant that they might still be alive.
Cheon, of course.

"If they're drugged, yeah. They'd have been our for forty-five minutes to an hour? So we're looking at whenever they set off to party. Tae stopped texting me around eight thirty so I'd say about nine. We're still in a safe space of time in theory." If their theory was right, anyway. Which meant the next two hours were important. The more time passed, the less likely they were to find them.
Jungkook's phone went off and he pulled it out, stepping off to the side to talk to someone.
Namjoon turned to Hobi and sighed, wishing he could comfort him and Yoongi. He just knew there was no way to. He didn't know how they felt but he knew how horrible it was to think of Tae in that position. "Cheon is a horrible fucker, he knows how to manipulate someone. He probably found out that Ten had an in and came at him. It's no one's fault."
Hurrying back over to Yoongi, Jungkook set his phone down. "I sent some guys on ahead to the clubs the girls flagged before I left. They just got there and the bartender recognised seeing Jimin there."
Hey, it was a lead. That was something.

"It's everyone's fault," Yoongi stated, whether just to be contrary or because he actually felt it. He wasn't even sure himself. "So we are going to fix it."
He looked at Jungkook, taking the information in and nodding. "We're heading over there. Are you armed, Hobi?"
J-Hope nodded and Yoongi headed for the door, seeing no need to ask the others. They all tended to never go anywhere unarmed. Hobi was the one who rarely went out into the field like this, but he didn't argue with Yoongi right now. Of course not. Instead he followed behind the boss, swallowing as he tried to focus. He didn't do that well with close action, but he wanted to do well tonight.
"Give the driver the address, Jungkook." Yoongi got into the car, looking calm as he checked his own gun, only glancing up when Namjoon entered. "Might be a set-up."
There was a chance of that.

Jungkook gave the address to the driver and climbed into the back, trying his best to do everything he was told and be the most productive assistance he could be. He knew how delicate this was going to be. He got out his gun and looked it over, loading it up just in case and hoping he didn't get shot again. Since that hit, he'd been a bit nervous in the field.
Namjoon had no idea if Tae had his phone on him or not, if it had been smashed beyond repair or if Cheon was holding it. He wanted to send him a message, to tell him to hang in there and don't do anything stupid.
Like Yoongi, he always tried to get the focus on him. Always had to pick fights. He couldn't stand the idea of the kid getting hurt again.
"If they were at the club, there will be CCTV. We can probably get a license plate. I doubt they moved them without transport."

"If they were at the club, there will be CCTV. We can probably get a license plate. I doubt they moved them without transport."
"Probably not. We have contacts, we can run the license plate." Obviously Namjoon knew that, Yoongi was just voicing it out loud as he stayed as calm as he possibly could. Which, at least outwardly, was very. Yoongi didn't earn his reputation for nothing. "I want you on the roof once we know where they might be, J-Hope. Avoid head-shots. I still want Cheon alive, if there's any chance."
J-Hope nodded and considered asking about Ten, but then decided against it. Maybe it was best not to bring him up.
"How's your pain level today, Kookie?" Yoongi looked at him, frowning. "I know you want to help, but if you are not up for it, you could do more harm than good."

"No, I'm up for it. I want to make that fucker pay. I can do this." Jungkook might have been nervous and on edge at the idea of doing this again but he had to get over it and he had to do this. Besides, it wasn't like he was in too much pain. It was more a nagging feeling these days than agony. "They're my friends... I want to be there to help."
If he had a chance to save them, he would save them.
Namjoon eyed up Hobi and considered the situation, he wanted to ask if they were keeping Ten or killing him but he'd ask Yoongi that when Hobi wasn't sitting right next to him. "Everyone keep an eye on each other, yeah? Cheon could be acting alone or this could be an ambush, it's hard to say. We just need to be smart."

"Then stay right behind me. You'll do great." Yoongi put a hand on Jungkook's for just a moment, wishing they already had an address. He needed to do things, but he also had to be smart about it. He needed to think strategic. "He's unlikely to have many allies, but he is probably waiting for us. He's not stupid, he has to know he can't survive this. This is about taking people down with him."
"...please, don't kill Ten." Hobi finally made himself speak up, bowing his head and keeping it bowed. "It's not his fault. He's in a bad situation, he probably felt he had no other choice. Please, Suga. I'll answer for him."
"What, you want me to kill you instead?" Hey, Yoongi was just asking.

"Hey, we don't know the situation in full. We're going by hearsay and what we vaguely know about Ten and Cheon. Let's make our decisions when we understand it all." Namjoon gave Yoongi a look. He got it, he was concerned, they both were. For all he knew, Ten was a manipulative little shit who was using Hobi to do Cheon's dirty work - or he was an innocent kid wrapped up in a nightmare situation.
Judgement should be held off. It was only fair.
"If he hurt Tae and Jimin, he should die for it." Jungkook shrugged, he wasn't really pro that kid to begin with and now it was even worse. "Come on, Hobi-hyung. Don't get too attached."
"You know, I will say this." Namjoon put a hand on Hobi's arm, reassuring and trying to have his back. Someone had to. And maybe he had to remind them what kind of guy Cheon was. "Ten is fucking Cheon. No matter how you swing it, something is wrong with that. And let's face it, if we hadn't been lucky enough to get to them, Tae and Jimin could be in the same position as that kid. So. Like I said. We'll judge later."

"He's my responsibility." Hobi really wanted Yoongi to stop being cold, but he knew there was little chance of that happening, especially in the current situation. "If he deserves punishment for this, then it will be given by me." He looked up at Yoongi again, wishing he could read his face. Things had been so much simpler when they'd been young. "Please, Suga."
Yoongi finally just nodded. "Fair enough. He stays alive, if possible." If he was even still alive. There was no way to tell. Would he be able to be lenient if Tae was dead? If Jimin was? He wondered how lenient Namjoon would feel if he had to see Tae's corpse today.
But here was hoping it wouldn't come to that. They stopped by the club, one of their people already waiting outside. Yoongi had sent men everywhere after all. "Jungkook, check if they have a license plate yet."

Jungkook ran inside to get the CCTV while Namjoon went ahead to talk to the staff. There wasn't much to gather overall but the CCTV did show Cheon lugging Jimin and Ten stumbling along with Tae, both boys looked totally limp and out of it. He supposed from the outside looking in, it looked like two guys helping their drink friend get home. Bastards.
Scribbling down the license plate, Jungkook started to call around for it while Namjoon rewatched the tape again and again, just trying to see where the car was heading.
He came back out to Yoongi and gestured left down the road, a small frown on his face. "Ignore me if I'm wrong but down there ... wasn't that a dumping area for the Dark Dragons? They kept their cars there and sometimes bodies. I'm sure of it. And the car went that way so..." Maybe.

"There's a chance," Yoongi agreed, trying to recall what that dumping area looked like. "I still don't see him having backup. His assets are cut off, anyone would know this is a suicide mission. None of his people were all that loyal to begin with."
He had to formulate a plan, but it was difficult. "If they are still alive, he might kill them when he knows we're coming."
So what was the best way to handle this? "If I show willingness to negotiate, he might come out. He's full of himself and overly confident."
Just meant he had to show that much weakness to gain the tactical advantage. Potentially.

"If he had backup, he wouldn't have used Ten. He must have been desperate to rope a kid into this and he took someone young that he's abused. It's easier to control him." It was pretty obvious that he was alone in this and yeah, he wanted to take people down with him before he went. And that didn't leave him much confidence that Tae was alive.
"We could bait him out. If we're willing to lower ourselves and boost his ego. He'd love to gloat and make a show. If we got him outside, Hobi could neutralise him from a high point."
That was the only thing he could think of. He frowned and turned his head to the side, it was all so risky. "He might use Jimin as a shield."

That was the only thing he could think of. He frowned and turned his head to the side, it was all so risky. "He might use Jimin as a shield."
"Probably." Yoongi leaned back, thinking it over. It was likely the only way, at least on short notice, and he knew they had no time to waste. Not knowing how much damage Cheon could do to people. Maybe Jimin was the most likely to be alive, but that didn't mean he was safe by any measure. He looked at Hobi, who was staring off at nothing.
"...we'll do it." He could risk his rep for this and he could trust Hobi's aim. Wouldn't be the first time and he didn't see how he had any other choice, not given circumstances. "Namjoon, we need to contact Cheon. The faster the better. Without setting him off. Any ideas?"

"I think we should try texting the kids phones. Let's just ... see what happens." Leaning against the wall, Namjoon pulled out his phone and texted Tae, knowing the kid never muted his phone. It was always so fucking loud.
Tae, are you okay?
Someone respond to me
helllllllllllllllllllloooo
He supposed they could try calling Jimin's phone next but this at least gave him some peace of mind. Jungkook came out not long after, shrugging his shoulders hopelessly. "I couldn't get a read on the car. Sorry."

"Ten's phone is turned off. I already tried." Still, Hobi tried to ring it again, just in case.
nO
Not the world's deepest response, but at least it was a response. Yoongi looked at Jungkook and waved him to sit down in the car again. "It's fine. We have a plan." Something close to one at least. They just had to do what they could to set it into motion quickly. "Is Tae actually replying? That's even more tenacious than I'd have thought."
Or, he supposed, it might be Cheon texting back.
