HoneySuckle (Season Two)

Chapter Seven: Just the beginning...

Jungkook was no fool.

He knew the risk he was taking, relying on a criminal to protect the love of his life, but he was desperate and desperation could drive any man to the brink of hell. After talking to Jimin, his desire to protect him double, well maybe tripled and all that mattered was bringing down Valentine. Jungkook could deal with the fallout later. As the black SUV came to a stop, Taehyung turned it off, glancing in the mirror at the black armored truck that was pulling up behind them – the S.W.A.T team. Taehyung turned his head, glancing at Jungkook as he secured a handgun onto his vest.

"You sure about this Guk?" Taehyung asked.

Jungkook slapped the spot, making sure the strap was secure before he quirked a brow and gave his former partner, turned second in command a side glance.

"You are asking me that now?" Jungkook asked, his tone slightly annoyed.

"I just mean, you don't need to go in." Taehyung said, sitting back and looking down at the keys in his hands, toying with them.

"What the hell? Like hell I am not going in. I want to see this motherfucker in cuffs or dead." Jungkook said, turning his gaze on the warehouse and frowning.

There was silence between them before Jungkook glanced at Taehyung. Something felt off with the other and he couldn't quite place what it was.

"You good Tae?" Jungkook asked, nudging the older with his elbow.

Taehyung closed his eyes, rubbing the side of his head before he tossed the keys in the cup holder and nodded, turning to look at Jungkook and forcing a grin.

"Yeah, yeah. Just pre – kicking the bad guy's ass jitters." Taehyung said.

Jungkook offered a small smirk, patting Taehyung's shoulder before he shifted and turned to get out of the SUV as his boots hit the gravel and he closed the door behind him. Adjusting his police vest as he walked back towards the armored truck as the swat guys started to unload from it and gear up. Jungkook met with their commander as the two began to exchange words. Taehyung watched from the mirror before a ping from his phone caught his attention. Taehyung glanced down, pulling his phone from his pocket and glancing at the preview message on his screen.

FROM: UNKNOWN

Everything in place?

Taehyung frowned, the sudden sick feeling in the pit of his stomach growing more intense before he closed his eyes and tilted his head back. Another ping.

FROM: UNKNOWN

Remember our deal, if you fuck this up, it won't end well for you or that little bitch of yours. Got it?

Taehyung glared at his phone. Quickly typing a message back.

TO: UNKNOWN

Fuck you.

A few minutes passed before another ping sounded in the car.

FROM: UNKNOWN

It will be a pleasure doing business.

Taehyung squeezed his phone, wanting to say more but before he could a knock to the window startled him, quickly holding his phone to his chest he turned to see Jungkook standing there. The other was giving him a questioning look.

"Come on, we are almost ready!" Jungkook said.

Taehyung's eyes were slightly wide, mouth opened a little, but his voice failed to find him so he simply nodded. Jungkook shook his head after quirking a brow at the other's weird behavior, turning to walk away when someone called him. Taehyung closed his eyes and let out a shaky breath, leaning forward to press his forehead against the steering wheel. Fuck. Once everyone was geared up, they began their assault on the warehouse. Spreading out, covering all exits and possible escape routes like windows and nearby sewer drains. Jungkook hugged the wall as he moved along it, Taehyung and a few other men right behind him. Pausing at one of the back EXIT doors, Jungkook glanced over his shoulder at Taehyung, giving a nod to one another before he turned his gaze forward. Looking at the two swat guys on the opposite side of them, he motioned for them to head in. One of them opened the door, tossing in a few smoke and flash bombs before yelling police and it was like a movie, the warehouse was infiltrated from all sides, smoke everywhere as the quiet space became full of yelling and the sound of gunfire as the men inside, disorientated and panicked, tries to run or fight back. Jungkook hid behind a pillar, firing off a few rounds after some were directed his way. Jungkook peeked around the pillar, barely dodging a shot fired his way before returning fire and hearing the gasp from the man before he dropped. He looked again, his eyes darting as he searched. Moving around the pillar, he kept his gun up and at the ready as he made his way towards the back office, where Valentine should be. Jungkook hugged the wall and shadows the closer he got, ignoring all the commotion behind him as the swat and officers dealt with Valentine's men. When he found the door, his eyes narrowed, Slowly, he peered into the glass and he looked around, it didn't look like anyone was inside, but that didn't mean the slippery snake wasn't. Jungkook glanced back, as expected, Taehyung was with him, they two nodded at each other as he motioned for Taehyung to get on the other side of the door. Once his partner was in place, Jungkook raised his gun, his heart pounding but his hand steady.
