A Tweak In Time (KTH) •Ongoing•

▶ Chapter XIV

He took a seat on the couch as his fingers fished for his phone. When he opened up the chatbox, he contemplated if he was doing the right thing by contacting him. She would surely leave soon, right? Was there a need for the law to be involved or was he was just being paranoid?

Taehyung:

Joon:

And there went the loud gongs of Taehyung's grandfather clock.

Taehyung basked in the first rays of sunshine as his feet thumped impatiently on the floor of an empty café. His fingers were warming up because of the hot cup of coffee as his eyes brazed over his surroundings cautiously. His wrists turned every second of his time there and his mind was in a conflicting battle of whether he should wait there as a diligent friend or dash to his office.

Much to his relief, the door of the café opened with a jingle and a tall man entered who let his gaze wander aimlessly in the café until Taehyung excitedly waved his arm around.

"There you are," Taehyung remarked when the man finally settled down in his chair, "Took you long enough."

"I'm having a really bad hangover so don't irk me."

"Ah," he smacked his lips, "why do you even grab a drink with your colleagues after every vital case? It's not like you like them or something."

"I have to maintain a healthy work relationship if I don't want to get slandered," he sighed, "But anyways, why'd you call me here? You know every minute is important for me? A criminal might be on loose as we spea-"

"Cut the crap Joon, you said you'd clear your schedule earlier so that means you've nothing to right now," Taehyung chuckled, "and even if a criminal's out in the air then I know you would do nothing unless the work was assigned to you only."

"You got me good," the man clicked his tongue out of annoyance, "Now spill."

"I want you to check someone for me, she's currently residing in my house. I will send her photo via texts," Taehyung began lowering his tone, "And also look into this person as soon as possible." He slid a brown envelope on the table as his eyes looked around to see if anyone was looking in their direction. The man carefully rolled the strings around and took out paper containing the basic details of a person. His name, his photograph, his age, family, affidavit and so-called clear criminal record.
