Chapter 3 | "the hunt starts now"

Minji crept through the forest, one hand on the gun on her hip as she took careful steps, making sure not a accidentally step on a branch or twig. As she neared the end of the woods, she used her free hand to press on her in ear, making sure to stay within the cover of the trees.

"Taeyong? I'm in position."

"Good, Sungchan and Jeno are all set. Just waiting on Lucas and Mark."

"I can see Lucas. Tell him to stay within the trees." She mumbled back, seeing the shadowy outline of the tall boy on the other end of the clearing.

"Got it."

She silently chuckled to herself as she saw him tense up and quickly retreat into the tree line.

"Hey Jisung?" She whispered, pressing her ear piece snd waiting for the young boy to respond.

"Everything okay, Minji?"

"Yeah, can you just explain to me what I'm supposed to do again?" She asked, looking at the small black box in her hand.

"Place that box on the ceiling of the room on the second floor, farthest north-west corner. Lucas said to make sure the red light is blinking before you secure it and he'll trigger it once all of you are out of there."

"Red light. Got it. Thanks Jisung."

"No problem, stay safe."

She smiled to herself as she heard the young boy log off her line.

"Minji? You there?"

"Yeah, Taeyong? We going?" She asked as the leader's voice came in through her ear piece.

"Wait for Mark's first shot. He says there's a sniper on the roof so once you hear his shot, it's go time."

"Got it."

"Be careful in there, Minji."

"You too, meet you in the car when we're done."

She cut the line, clutching her gun and moving to the very end of the tree line. Her eyes scanned the treetops, she knew Mark was somewhere up there in the darkness, even though she couldn't see him.

Despite this being what felt like her thousandth mission, she could still hear her heartbeat thumping in her ears as she waited, tensed, for the sound of Mark's fire.

The still silence of the woods was broke as the high pitch whizz of a sniper bullet echoed through the air. Minji didn't even think, her body just reacting as she burst out from the woods, tearing across the clearing as she drew her gun.

Looking on either side of her, she saw Taeyong on her far left Lucas and her far right, the other two coming in from opposite sides as the small team descended on the dark building. Minji kicked down the door, quickly unloading her clip into the guards and reloading her gun as she walked further into the warehouse.

She could hear the gunshots ringing out from all around the building, nerves spiking with every shot, hoping those bullets we're coming from her team. She shook off the thought as she saw more guards coming towards her as she quickly turned and shot at them, their bodies hitting the floor one by one.
