HoneySuckle (Season Two)

Chapter Two: Rats.

Taehyung let out a soft sigh as he leaned back in his chair, the creak reminding him that either he needs to lose some weight or breakdown and put in a request for a new one. When he heard the ding from the elevator, he tilted his head to the side and let his gaze settle on the double doors as they parted. It was almost instant; the office went silent as all chatter was cut. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stood except for him. Instead, an amused smile crossed Taehyung's face as the head of the entire Seoul police force stepped out of the elevator – Jeon Jungkook.

Jungkook made his usual walk towards his office in the back, greeting those that spoke to him and saluted. Jungkook adjusted his belt a bit as he positioned his gun on his hip. As Jungkook got closer, Taehyung shifted to stand as he stretched his arms above his head. Jungkook walked into his office, not sparing his second in command a glance but somehow the other Alpha just knew to follow. Taehyung slipped in and closed the door behind him.

"Mornin' boss!" Taehyung said.

Jungkook let out a soft grunt as he pulled out his chair and sat down, setting his phone on the table as he glanced up at Taehyung.

"We just talked a bit ago Tae." Jungkook said, quirking a brow as Taehyung sat down in one of the chairs that was facing Jungkook's desk.

"I know, but hey, I missed you." Taehyung said.

Jungkook made a face but turned his attention to his computer as he logged into the system and waited for the system to come up.

"So?" Jungkook asked.

"So?" Taehyung replied.

"What is it that you couldn't tell me over the phone earlier?" Jungkook asked as Taehyung's eyes widened in realization and then he leaned forward.

"Oh, right. That – "Taehyung started and then paused as he fished his phone out of his pocket and looked down at it. "– So, we got some bad news."

"What is it?" Jungkook asked as he typed in something on the computer before he looked at Taehyung, noticing the hesitant look on the other's face. "Tae?"

Taehyung swallowed before he stood up and walked around the desk causing Jungkook to sit back and look up at him. Taehyung held out his phone to Jungkook and he took it. Looking down at the device and reading the report that had been attached to the email.

"I got a heads up from my buddy who works at the federal prison that our former commander and chief is at, along with his drug lord buddy. It seems that during their monitoring of his calls, Jimin's name came up." Taehyung said.

Jungkook's eyes narrowed as he squeezed the phone in his hand.

"He wasn't supposed to be allowed any fucking calls, either of them." Jungkook growled as he handed Taehyung his phone back before he threw it.

"I know, but the bastard has friends still whether we want to believe it or not. They pulled some strings, and he was offered certain privileges. They look the other way here and there." Taehyung said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"More like they want an excuse to get rid of me." Jungkook said as he sat back and placed his hand over his face as he rubbed his chin.

"You've done good work Kook, no matter how many rats those two might still have scattered about, you have more friends behind you." Taehyung said.

Jungkook closed his eyes.

"I should have known...they weren't about to just quietly rot away in prison." Jungkook said as Taehyung walked back towards the chairs in front of Jungkook's desk as he glanced through the blinds on Jungkook's office windows at the officers working in the pit.

"Of course not, but we have the advantage. We know they are most likely putting a hit out on Jimin; the question is why." Taehyung said.

"What do you mean why? Because of Jimin they are going to be in jail until they die. If anything, it would be revenge." Jungkook said.

Taehyung chewed on his bottom lip in thought before he looked back to Jungkook.

"Maybe, but I think it is more than that. Killing Jimin doesn't really help them, but what would help them is to find some way to ruin you." Taehyung said.

Jimin slightly opened his eyes and glanced at Taehyung.

"...so maybe not a hit, but a kidnapping." Jungkook said.

Taehyung nodded as he sighed and rubbed the back of his head, placing his other hand on his hip.

"Aish, poor Min, he can't seem to get a break. Always getting caught up and used by these bastards." Taehyung said.

Jungkook's jaw tightened as his eyes narrowed.

"No one is going to be using Jimin for anything because we are going to crush them before that." Jungkook said as he leaned forward, setting his arms on the desk. "Up for a road trip?"

Taehyung grinned with a tilt of his head.

"With the commander and chief? It would be my pleasure." Taehyung said with a teasing tone and Jungkook rolled his eyes.

"Shut up." Jungkook said, standing as he walked around his desk as Taehyung went to open the door, but both stopped because of who was standing there.

Jungkook's eyes narrowed as did Taehyung's at the sight of the familiar face of Kim Namjoon.
