Philophobia

#12

Taehyung yawns for the millionth time that afternoon. He thought that the job would be fun. But it is the opposite of that. It is boring. He can't do anything. He can't go anywhere. He is just in the car watching the target, who is nowhere to be seen in front of his office. He is glad that dahyun gave him a bunch of bread. At least, they won't starve during this stake-out.

"Hyung, how long do we wait for him?" Taehyung asks.

Hoseok chews the bread from you. "Probably a couple of hours. Oh, wait. There he is!"

Taehyung turns his head to the building. He can see a tall man holding his bag walking from the building. Park Chanyeol. He lives in the same neighborhood as Arisu . Last seen with him at a work party, a couple of days before Ji Seok went to Hawaii. Arisu has gone silent in the interrogation room, refusing to expose other plans or members. He is a damn good criminal.

Taehyung only heard from the other members how the interrogation went. Namjoon went first and as calm as Namjoon usually was, he almost threw his fists with Arisu. Almost, as he was stopped by Hoseok and Jin, who rushed to the interrogation room. Namjoon was then not allowed to enter the room because he was too emotional. Well, his girl almost got killed by Arisu, who wouldn't be mad? Thus, Hoseok and Jin handled the interrogation. But they couldn't find out any more clues about Black. Why does Arisu suddenly need money after all these years? It could only mean one thing, they're preparing something. Then after many hours of investigating, Yoongi stumbled on something. The 3 suspects.

Chanyeol walks at the perfect time, the road full of people making it less likely he'll notice he's being followed. Taehyung puts his hat and gets out of the car. He walks towards Chanyeol quickly. Chanyeol is still busy using his phone, scrolling while walking. Taehyung catches up quickly, then, pretending to trip, he knocks the phone from his hand. As he picks it up, he quickly slips a tracker on the phone and hands it back to Chanyeol. He bows while apologizing profusely before turning tail and making his way back to the car.

"How is it?" Taehyung asks when he's halfway back to the car.

Hoseok reports. "We got it. Let's go back for now."

Taehyung opens the car and jumps in, removing his hat. "So, what should we do now?"

"Well, you should check his schedule first, see if there's anything suspicious. I am gonna follow him for a bit. You called me if you find anything, okay?"

Taehyung grumbles, "You do know, that it'd be easier to just kidnap him, right?"

Hoseok chuckles. "I know. But now, since our company has been noticed, we should be more subtle. You know how agents have to sometimes follow their target for several years before getting enough evidence?" he sighs. "Well, we might have to do that."

Taehyung's jaw drops. "What? Several years?" He whines. "I can't handle this boring job!"

Hoseok pats his shoulder, "I don't like this as much as you do." He hands him a phone. "Here is Chanyeol's duplicate phone. I've just downloaded it. From now on, will we work carefully okay? You go back to the Company, and investigate it."

Taehyung pouts as he gets out of the car. Hoseok then drives away, leaving Taehyung alone in the crowded road.
