"Damn it!"

The sudden shout and sound of objects being broken silenced the entire room as Taehyung glanced towards Jungkook's office. He could see the other pacing around and throwing various objects all over the place, quickly creating a mess. Shit. Was Taehyung's first thought as he turned his attention back to his phone call.

"Hey, let me call you back, I have a bit of a situation here. Yeah, yeah. Call me if anything changes okay?" Taehyung said, waiting before he hung up his phone and stood.

Turning, he glanced around at the curious eyes of the other officers and detectives and gave a nervous smile.

"Now, now. Let's not make it worse by staring. Get back to work, we have a lot of ground to cover." Taehyung said, clapping his hands together and luckily getting everyone back into the workflow.

Letting out a sigh, he glanced back towards Jungkook's office before making his way over. Giving a quick knock and not waiting for an answer, he opened the door. His eyes widened as he saw the number Jungkook did on his office, and he swallowed. Stepping in and quickly closing the door before anyone else could see as he settled his gaze on a clearly stressed out Jungkook.

"Hey big guy, what the hell happened?" Taehyung asked.

Jungkook was sitting in his chair, head in his hands as he let out soft mutters and growls that almost sounded like to Taehyung to be curses on someone's existence. When Jungkook heard his best friend, he slightly lifted his head as his gaze fell on Taehyung. Taehyung wouldn't deny the cold, sharpness of the other Alpha's gaze did rattle him somewhat.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung called.

"What?" Jungkook shot back, his voice full of venom as he buried his head back into his hands.

"What? What the hell is going on? Why are you going Hulk on your office furniture?" Taehyung asked, kneeling down to start picking up some of the most likely important documents.

There was a moment of silence before Jungkook let out the heaviest sigh that Taehyung had ever heard in his life before he decided to speak.

"It is that damned lawyer." Jungkook said, lifting his head again as he glared at the wall in front of him.

"Lawyer?" Taehyung asked, glancing up at the other.

"Kim Namjoon." Jungkook said.

"Oh." Taehyung said, letting out a sigh himself this time.

Well, that explained a lot. Taehyung stood up, hugging the gathered stack of papers against his chest as he frowned.

"Let me guess, the feds are trying to take over?" Taehyung asked.

"He didn't say it directly, but I can read in between the lines. Everyone is desperate to catch this fucker Valentine, but the problem is, instead of fucking working together, we just want to get in each other's way!" Jungkook said, standing up as he punched the wall and ignoring the spike of pain that shot up his arm from his knuckles.

Taehyung stared at him for a moment before he lowered his eyes.

"He wants to use Jimin to lure out Valentine, doesn't he?" Taehyung asked.

Jungkook stood in place, keeping his back to Taehyung but the growl and spicy spike in Jungkook's scent told him that he was right on target. Taehyung set the papers down, pushing a hand against his head as he shook it.

"Doesn't surprise me, they do this sort of thing all the time. I am sure if we fight it, we will lose, the greater good and sacrifice of one versus the many and all that." Taehyung said, turning as he leaned against Jungkook's desk.
