30: Rival Arrival

⊱⋅ ─ 30: RIVAL ARRIVAL

"Alright, is everyone set? Over." Doyoung asked through the speaker of his laptop, seeing that everyone's pin cameras were all active.

"Ready, chief. Over." Changbin said as soon as he and his unit, which consisted of Chan, Minho, Hyunjin and him in it, were at their position, holding his gun, ready to aim and fire.

"Okay, remember, you have forty-five minutes to get Baekhyun's team out of there," Doyoung reminded, "as soon as the power interruption comes up, you will take the chance to sneak in, and don't worry, those bangles will help you to be put in disguise in the eyes of the officers. Do you copy? Over." He added, panning through one surveillance footage to another.

"Copy. How do we know when the electricity gets cut off? Over." Asked Chan, waiting for the signal.

"Just like how Mr. Johnny and Mr. Jaehyun said, you'll know. Over and out." The man replied, his smug smile could be heard through the speakers.

Suddenly, the District's power went off, gaining collective gasps from the distance, Chan and the others entered the building, and as soon as they got in, they were met with numbers of security guards. As soon as the security guards saw Chan's team, they all charged in, most of them knocked out with a few blows to the head and some of them were tranquilized, knocked out easily as soon as the substance got into their system.

The two units separated in order to do their tasks quickly, Jisung's unit went into the cells to free Suho and the rest of his team, while Chan's unit distracted the security guards, causing a shoot out inside the premises, an exchange of bullets and gun firing noises echoed through the facility, glass and other materials such as wood and even concrete were damaged.

Jeongin quickly snatched the keys from one of the officers and tossed them to Jisung, who unlocked the cells nearest to him. Catching the keys again as Jisung tossed the material to Jeongin, he unlocked Baekhyun's cell, the man stumbling out of it.

"Please tell me that you're not some face-duplicating Androids," Baekhyun said as soon as Jeongin unlocked his cell, proceeding to unlock his cuffs.

Jeongin rapidly shook his head, finally unlocking the cuffs on Baekhyun's hands and on his ankles, "Nope, I'm very much human," he replied, the cuffs clicking open, "and very much the real Jeongin."

"Thank God," the man sighed in relief as he rubbed his left wrist.

"Boys!" Chan called out as he and the others got into the cell area, "Take them out of the building, and fast," he alarmed them, the others automatically leading Baekhyun and the others out of the prison.

Chan, Changbin and Minho were about to leave the building, but then they heard someone call out, "Hey! Bang Chan!" It was Hongjoong, rattling the door of his cell, "Get us out of here!" He begged, "What are you waiting for? Hurry!"

Chan was about to leave with Changbin and Jisung, but then the three of them heard Doyoung say, "You still have fifteen minutes, be quick," he said, the trio then quickly moving to get the eight other young men out of their cells and cuffs.

"Boy, am I glad to see you for the first time," Wooyoung humored to Changbin as he was uncuffed.

"We could chat later, first, we need to escape," Changbin said as he nodded at the latter, then nodding at San and Mingi, "I'll take you two out and you'll see Minho waiting at our escape route." Changbin added, ready to leave the cell area, not until a tall and broad figure stood at the only entrance and exit of the area.
