A/N: Just a little note throughout this chapter, When I say 'the boys' I'm referring to Sunwoo, Chanhee and Younghoon...enjoy (:
Today was the day of the heist. I felt so nervous especially since this was my first proper mission involving break-ins. The boys had been staying at my house for the past couple of days keeping an eye on my aunt. She insisted she didn't need protecting but since I had been spending time with Taehyung and was at the concert, I wanted them to stay just to be safe. Namjoon gave me his number after the concert so we could keep in contact easily and I messaged him to come to the house so we could make a plan.
All five of us were sat up in my room on the floor. Namjoon's associates had printed off a blueprint layout of the museum which we could use to plan our way in and way out. "If we went in through here then maybe we could sneak in through there" I pointed at a few points on the paper. "Butttt if we came in through this way wouldn't it be easier". Namjoon pointed at different places and I raised my brow. "How would that even work, there are security cameras all in that one room, we'd be going right into a death trap!" I stated. "That's why we have these guys to turn off the cameras". We both stared at each other with our eyes squinted as the boys covered their mouths to not laugh. "Okay okay children calm yourselves how about this". Hoon cuts in and turns the paper. "There's this chute at the top of the building you can go down into the vent system, you follow along this path and you're basically right above the room, you bust down ruff and tuff a bit, get some names out of them and boom. Get out of there.". "Hmm yeah okay but what about oh I don't know the guns they will one hundred percent have?". I looked at Hoon in disbelief of his plan...we knew this wasn't going to be that simple.
He sighed and looked at me. "Look Ri, I know this isn't going to be simple but look at you two...you have both trained for years to deal with this shit. Ri you told me how your father would literally throw anything at you and you dodged it perfectly, rocks...boxes...heck even knives at one point. You have the skills to take them down, both of you do.". I wanted to believe his words but I just couldn't help but think one slip up and we'd be done.
As I was about to say something I got a notification on my computer. "It's from the boss" Chanhee stated. I opened the message and immediately facepalmed. "Another person has gone missing, Jung-Min...25 years old. Admitted to hospital earlier today with bad stomach pains and suspected poisoning with cyanide. Disappeared about 2 hours ago". I put my head on the desk and groaned. "What are they doing with these people? Why do they need them?". "New recruits maybe?" Sunwoo offered. "But it just doesn't make sense" I got up and walked around my room in thought. "Why take random people from the hospital" I froze for a moment and looked at the others. "Unless they are the ones making them sick or beating them up in the first place". They all looked at me confused. "Think about it, they need to get them in a vulnerable position to be able to take them more easily". "I think you're onto something there Ri, but we just need to find out why these specific people". I agreed with Namjoon and sat down to come up with a decent plan for the heist.
7 pm. An hour before the red fox apparently strike the museum. We drove close to the location in a black van with blacked-out windows. Both myself and Namjoon were geared up in black suits, both of us equipped with knives and metal batons, I also had a grappling hook to get up to the roof. "Okay guys we're gonna hack into the museums' system and disable the cameras, Unless they are dumb enough to not of done that already, I suggest you go up to the roof and wait for the signal". We both nodded and headed towards the building. I shot the grappling hook up to the top and tested the strength before starting to climb up the wall. I pushed myself up onto the roof and helped Namjoon up to the top.
We ran across the roof and stayed low by the chute and waited for the signal. "We have to try to be quiet in here, we have no idea what route these guys are taking" I whispered and he nodded. We heard a car screech below and voices on the ground as the men broke into the building. "That's your queue go go go!" We heard Chanhee through our earpieces and dropped down into the chute. Although we landed with a bang we waited in silence for a moment to see if we heard a reaction. When we didn't we followed the boys' instructions on which route to take. We started to crawl through the vent and as we turned a corner I heard a bang. "Ow," I looked over my shoulder and saw Namjoon had knocked his head. "Can you be any louder" I whisper shouted and he hit my leg slightly. "That really hurt, I'm a tall guy and it's a small chute what did you expect me to do?". "I don't know suck it up". I saw him roll his eyes and we carried on crawling through the vent. I stopped and froze. "Why did you-" "SHHHHH" I hushed him and pointed to the sound of voices below us.
We stayed completely still and waited for them to pass. "Man that was close" I breathed and carried on. "Okay guys this is it, you're right on top of the main room". We both nodded at Sunwoos instruction and waited for the right opportunity. "God it gets so warm in this vent". "Could you be quiet" I whispered. "Why they can't hear me" "They are right fucking below us..they probably can" I snapped. "Could you stop bossing me around? I'm older than you you know". I turned around so I was facing him. "Sorry that you act like such a child!". He looked at me offended. "How the fuck am I acting like a child?!". He pushed me and I kicked him back. Without us knowing the vent couldn't hold out the weight for much longer, we both shoved each other and the vent broke and we both toppled out right onto the floor.
Stood right in front of us was two men who I assume were tasked with keeping watch whilst the others did the job. "Shit!" They shouted and pointed their guns at us and started shooting. Luckily I had already grabbed my baton and managed to hit some of the bullets away from us as we ran. They chased us even when they ran out of bullets. Out of nowhere, Namjoon grabbed me and we hid in a small space. We put our hands over our mouths to quieten our breathing. "Fuck sake we lost them where did those little shits even come from?!". We let out a heavy breath as we heard them walking away arguing with each other. "Nice going genius". I lightly hit his chest. "Hey! If you didn't call me a child we wouldn't be in this mess right now besides you would probably be fucked by now if I didn't grab-" He stopped when he saw my attention elsewhere.
He looked in the same direction I was and knew what I was looking at. One of them had dropped a card, we looked at each other. "You watch and I'll grab it" I stated and he nodded. I got down low and crawled across the floor as fast as I could and grabbed the card. I quickly ran back to the spot and looked at the card. "It's some sort of member card? Look that's the red fox symbol". We studied it for a moment. "We need to get out of here...Hoon you there?" RM spoke through the earpiece. "ARE YOU GUYS ALIVE" We heard Chanhee shout in the background and we both rolled our eyes and laughed at the same time. "Track our location and get us the fuck out of here" "Yes sir!". They went quiet for a moment then we heard them speak. "There's a window right by you, you'll need to smash it which will make some noise but we'll be ready to get you, so wait for me to tell you to go". We nodded and waited for a few moments. "GO!". We both ran at his signal and broke the window with our bats, we stepped out quickly at the sound of voices. "What the fuck was that?!". Namjoon grabbed my arm and we ran as fast we could, the boys swung open the van door and we jumped in as they sped off.
Both myself and RM sat on the floor panting hard as they drove away. "Well done guys...even though it didn't go all to plan you still got something right?". I nodded still out of breath and pulled the card from my pocket. "Also we heard all the arguing you guys did....man you fight like siblings". Me and RM looked at each other and laughed. "Thank you" I said and he looked confused. "For what?". "You basically saved my life back there". "Look at when you hit bullets out the way with your bat..that was so cool!". We all laughed and made it safely back to my house. We were careful to park the van a few houses away to not build suspicion and went into my house.
We crept quietly up to my room to not wake my aunt and I changed out of the suit and noticed a red patch on one of the sleeves. I looked and saw that I was bleeding. "Shit what the hell!" "Are you okay Ri?" Namjoon asked from outside the bathroom. I quickly changed into some comfy clothes and came out of the bathroom. "Holy shit you're bleeding!". He said as the boys shot up and rushed over to me. Chanhee took my arm and studied it for a moment. "Did a bullet graze you or something?" "I don't know, I don't remember being hit...I didn't even feel anything until I noticed it". "Either that or a piece of glass grazed you when you smashed the window either way it needs to be treated so it doesn't get infected.". I nodded. "Since my aunt's a nurse, the bathroom is full of medical stuff, there should be some like antiseptic disinfectant and some bandages in there". They nodded and Namjoon left the room and came back with some medical supplies. . "This will sting Ri". Sunwoo stated and I grinded my teeth slightly as they poured antiseptic onto my arm. "Shit" I whispered and breathed out. Now it was really starting to hurt.
They let it sit for a moment then gently wrapped a bandage around it. "Keep an eye on it and try not to use it too much, you could get your aunt to look at it tomorrow maybe? Just say you stumbled and knocked into some glass and it broke or something". I nodded and took some pain medication to distract myself from the pain. "I suggest you rest for a few days Ri". "I can't I have work tomorrow" Chanhee sighed and had a worried look on his face. "Just take it easy okay?". I nodded. "Thanks guys for the help today but now I just want to sleep". I could feel myself getting drowsy. "Ri...I'm sorry I messed up the plan". Namjoon sulked slightly. I shook my head and laughed a bit. "To be honest, we were basically going to jump down and attack anyway right? We just didn't do it gracefully.". We both laughed and he nodded. "Stay here for tonight guys since it's so late, There's plenty of space on the sofas and there's a guest room down the hall.". I handed them spare pillows and blankets and they left the room. My bed was practically calling for me at this point as I flopped down onto it. I would feel shooting pains in my arm every now and again which made it very uncomfortable for a while.
I just hope Taehyung doesn't get suspicious.
