Kai hit the break as they arrived at their warehouse in the middle of nowhere, Xiumin quickly running out to open up the boot and help get Chanyeol in as soon as possible. Chen pulled away the mat under his feet and opened up the compartment under it. Inside of it was hundreds of undetonated grenades in which he added his remaining four from that nights attack. It wasn't often that he wouldn't use up all of the grenades he takes on robbery's but with the groups mistakes, he wasn't able to let the remaining few go off. They didn't do well tonight, and Chen knew that. He knew that they were being to cocky and relaxed, they should have always been ready. He also knew that D.O was going to tell them off big time.
"Sehun, get the first aid kit, now!" D.O yelled when they rested Chanyeol on the table. Sehun ran over the cabinet by D.O's bed and took out the same first aid kit. Lay took hold of the box and opened it up, taking out some antiseptic wipes and bandages.
"How are you going to get the bullet out?" Xiumin asked, looking at Chanyeols face that was drenched in tears and sweat.
"We need to take him to a hospital!" Baekhyun said while looking at the wreck of his friends trying to save Chanyeols life. He was right, they couldn't get the bullet out themselves, none of them had any idea what they were doing. They're probably putting his life in more risk keeping him here.
"Can you all get out, me and Lay will get the bullet out," D.O ordered, his voice serious like it always is, but also calming too. He knew that all of the boys loved and cared for Chanyeol, especially Baekhyun. That's why he cant make them go through with watching Chanyeol in pain.
"But boss, you can't-"
"take him away Chen," D.O said, interrupting Baekhyun.
"What's the plan boss?" Lay asked calmly as Chanyeol was still groaning on the table. His wound wouldn't stop bleeding and it almost hurt D.O as much as Chanyeol.
"We take out the bullet. Its the only way he can survive." D.O stated, taking out two face masks from a shelf and handing one over to Lay. They covered their mouths with the black face masks and gave each other a last glace.
"Kyungsoo," Chanyeol whispered. D.O looked down at his limp body, moving the fallen pieces of hair out of his eyes. Lay was grabbing chopsticks from the kitchen, thinking it would be safer using them the their own fingers.
"Do what you have to do and don't stop until its out," Chanyeol said in a faint, broken voice. D.O swallowed.
"Why aren't they taking him to a hospital!" Baekhyun said as he paced up and down the field outside the warehouse. It wasn't exactly a garden to them as they never looked after it or cleaned it, it was just land outside their home.
"You know why they're not, Baekhyun." Suho said. The rest of the boys were either sitting down or leaning against the building, Baekhyun was the only one walking around. "They're going to kill him!" Baekhyun shouted aiming his gun at the long area of land in front of them and firing a bullet into the dark nights sky. "They're not going to kill him Baekhyun! Remember when I got shot in the leg that one time? Boss saved me. Chanyeol will be fine," Xiumin said after the bullet was shot. Baekhyun had the closest relationship with Chanyeol, that why the others weren't surprised that he was the most freaked out right now. They heard a loud scream from inside the warehouse and Baekhyun felt his heart drop. He never got scared, but now Chanyeol could die. That scared him.
Lay took out the antiseptic wipes and began rubbing away the blood on top of the deep wound, getting rid of as much blood as he could. D.O was still looking into Chanyeols now squinting eyes, watching the way he dealt with this horrid pain. He managed to get himself out of this trance and picked up the chopsticks Lay had gotten him. He went over to the sink and washed them with water and soap until he was satisfied with how clean they were. When looking back at the wound Lay was cleaning, he could see the faint glimmer of the bullet in his skin. He held the chopsticks in his hand ready, nodding to Lay to move the wipes so he could have more access. D.O lowered the sticks to Chanyeols shoulder and poked them into the wound causing Chanyeol to let out a loud, echoing scream. Kyungsoo squinted his eyes and took a deep breath before moving the chopsticks deeper and trying to clasp them around the bullet. Chanyeols screams were deep and painful, like those of a strong man who would never cry. It wasn't oftern that Chanyeol would ever get hurt. He was very careful and precise with his movement.
D.O had hold of the bullet securely and began to pull it out, making Chanyeol let out long and desperate screams, louder than any others. He moved his hand to Lay and grabbed hold of his wrist, squeezing it to perhaps release some pain. Although it hurt for Lay, he didn't complain as he knew that it was nothing compared to what Chanyeol was feeling right now. The bullet was coming closer to the surface and was almost free from Chanyeols shoulder. D.O pulled harder, trying to stop Chanyeols screaming and make the pain end.
"It's out!" D.O said happily as he held the bullet in the air. Chanyeol let out a weak laugh at D.O's celebration but winced in pain as he realised that laughing made his shoulders move.
"Come on, lets sit you up." Lay said jokingly when Chanyeol was moving his legs, helping his sit up his torso.
"You better get Baekhyun," D.O said to lay,
"he has been freaking out because of you!" Chanyeol smiled as Lay went out the back door and waved the others in.
"I hate you so much," Baekhyun said as he walked in smiling at is friend sitting upright on the table.
"That's not what your concerned yelling was saying." Chanyeol argued back and they both laughed as they embraced, Chanyeol wrapping his good arm around Baekhyuns shoulders. Chanyeols body was warm and sticky from sweat but that didn't stop Baekhyun from holding his torso tight.
"I'm assuming that Chanyeol wont be doing any criminal acts for a while," Kai said when they were all comfortable in their beds. They were only mattresses, three singles, three doubles, but it was the best type of comfort they could get. They had a bought pillows and mattresses from bed stores but having a post man deliver beds to their warehouse would look kind of suspicious!
"No, he'll be resting until his shoulder is healed," D.O said from his single mattress, his body propped up by a pillow on the wall and his legs covers in duvet. Chanyeol, who now had bandages and a sling on his shoulder, was sitting upright as well, with Baekhyuns tired body laying on his bare stomach. He played with the purplish strands of hair of the boy head and watched him peacefully sleeping. Baekhyun had his arms wrapped tightly around Chanyeols naked torso so he could hardly move, but he didn't complain.
"I have never heard a man scream so loud," Chen said, laying on a double mattress with Xiumin.
"Well you come a close second," Sehun said, making Kai laugh and punch his arm. They always shared a bed, even when the others fancied a mix up, it was like they had a bond stronger than the rest of the boys.
"I guess you could say we were quite successful tonight! Apart from Chanyeols almost death and Baekhyuns break down, we got alot of money!" Lay said, smirking at Suho who was laying on the single mattress opposite him.
"We almost got caught today boys," D.O. said, making their grins go away and their seriousness arrive back in its place. "What if that police officer had a camera and not a gun? We would have had our identities leaked and it could have been the end. Sehun, Kai, Lay, Baekhyun, Suho, Xiumin! None of you had your masks on when Chanyeol was shot. If that police officer was to have survived, he would know all of your identities." D.O looked at them all when telling them off, his eyes serious and scary.
"Sorry boss," Suho said, the others murdering an apology after him.
"Just wear your masks and be ready, I hope you've all learnt your lesson today." He said, moving his pillow down to lay on his back.
"Thanks for being our test subject man!" Sehun joked, giving Chanyeol a fist bump with his good arm that was previously playing with Baekhyuns hair.
Some would find it strange that a group of murders and criminals would be this close and bonded, able to joke about serious matters. But EXO was different, no matter who they killed and what they stole, they would never leave a man behind. It was like they were components of a machine, they couldn't work without each other.
D.O wished that it was the sun that woke them all up, that or a cockerell. But for them it was always gunshots of Baekhyun practicing his aim at five in the morning. He looked around at his group mates all sleeping soundly. Kai had somehow managed to spoon Sehun in his sleep, Chanyeol had fallen asleep sitting up, Xiumin and Chen no longer had any covers on them, Suho was snoring quietly with his mouth wide open and Lay was the only one that seemed to be sleeping like a normal person. He got up and slipped on a black jumper that was chucked at the end of his bed, heading the the back door to see Baekhyun.
Baekhyuns hair wasn't done, odd strands were flying in whatever direction the wind took them. He wasn't wearing the joggers he slept in, he had got changed into a white shirt and black, ripped skinny jeans. With the gun in his hand and this outfit on he didn't look like the clingy boy like he was last night, but a threatening teen.
He fired a bullet into the centre of the tree infront of him which he had engraved a heart into with a knife. The bullet carved through the tree like a drill, getting half way though before sticking in its place along with the hundreds of others.
"I should have seen the police officer earlier." He said, pausing before taking another shot, this time in the stomach of the tree.
"Baekhyun, it wasn't your fault, we all should have spotted him." Kyungsoo explained, balancing the side of his body on the metal building.
Baekhyun shot two more bullets before lowering his gun.
"Then why didn't we? Chanyeol is now injured and could be off work for mouths! What are you going to do without your underboss?" Baekhyun said, sliding the gun into his jeans pocket so that the handle stuck out. It was the same gun that he had killed his girlfriend with.
"We will buy some headsets or radios so that we can communicate with him whist were out, he won't be along Baekhyun." D.O said. Baekhyun took the gun back out of his pocket and shot down a crow that was flying across the sky. They both watched as the bullet hit the bird directly in the chest, seeing it plummet into the grass.
"What makes you use that gun," D.O asked, recognising the gun easily. It had a heart ingraved onto the golden handle along with swear words scratched down the silver slide.
"I was just remembering what love does to you," Baekhyun stated, walking past D.O and back into the warehouse.
