"Winwin's team, are you in position?" everyone hears Renjun ask through the in-ears.
Jisung wraps his arms in gloves before pulling up his hood and putting on his black mask. He's holding one of the smoke bombs in pockets, one that releases a sleeping drug—hence their masks. The vapors only last for one minute, so they have to gather as many people as possible before using it or use it at the right time.
Sicheng responds, getting ready and situated. He'll be leading everyone in his team to find Hwara, due to him being an intuitive Gifted. "Yes."
"Good, stay in positions. The other four teams are heading out. Once Mark's team is done, Taeil will tell you what to do."
"Got it."
Nothing much is going through the four members' minds.
Jisung's head is completely blank—he's doing most of everything unconsciously as if it's a routine.
Sicheng is anxious since he doesn't see a clear path as to how today will go down. He feels like there needs to be one more factor for everything to work, but he still doesn't know what.
Hendery feels guilty for being one of the members who let Hwara leave her house, and he feels like he has to make it up to her. He has to make sure she returns, finds her soulmate, and gets her emotions back.
Taeil, on the other hand, worries mostly about Jisung. He's just hoping that the boy doesn't' go berserk and stray away from the plan.
Taeyong, Ten, Jeno, Jaehyun, Mark, and Kun stayed up all night making it to make sure there were no ways for failure. They had made countless backup plans.
Taeyong hasn't slept in days. Sungchan hasn't slept in days. Jaehyun's trying to keep sane but hasn't been doing that well either. They're all worried. They all know her true past to a certain extent. Yoon Minseok is nowhere near a good guy. If Hwara had her memories, only she could truly say by how much.
"Taeyong, Mark, Kun, and Yuta's team need to depart now."
Just like that, fifteen members rush into the second building in different ways, instantly shooting and killing the guards. Reinforcements continue to rush in, but the members and the guards are skilled enough to take them down. NCT has more than enough reinforcements plus BTS on standby for backup.
"Haechan! Catch!" Taeyong says, throwing the younger a small bag full of ammo. Donghyuck quickly refills his gun while dodging attacks. He then begins to shoot once again as the dark walls of the old warehouse being painted a dark red.
They continue making their way to the building, reaching their main destination—the control room. Unlike NCT, who uses portable and personalized technology to broadcast emergencies and their announcements, Black Point uses a building-wide broadcasting system. It's honestly dumb on their part, but Taeyong's sure it's because they don't have the money to.
