Having spoken with the police officers, Sejin began to retrace his steps to the MNS 'base camp'. His com unit went off and Agent Son's voice informed him they had reached the twelfth floor and were about to enter the conference room. He swung his binoculars up and focused quickly. He could just make out the figures of Agent Kim and Mr Kim Namjoon before they disappeared from sight. He gave a small sigh of relief and reached for his com unit.

"Agents Min and Kim, do you copy?"

"Agent Min here. Agent Kim is currently unavailable."

"Status, Min, now!"

"One senator dead, four terrorists disabled and unconscious. Remaining senators all okay apart from possible shock. What is the status of Lee?"

"Dead. What is the status of Mr. Kim and agent Kim?"

"Mr. Kim seems to have pulled muscles, dislocated shoulder and numerous lacerations. Agent Kim is in worse shape. Bullet wound to the left thigh, severe laceration to the upper right bicep, numerous other lacerations to the upper torso and muscle damage; pulled, strained or torn, I'm not sure," Yoongi replied as he watched Gwan attending to Tae's wounds while one of the MNS agents did his best to patch up Namjoon with the meager first aid kit they carried.

"What about you, Min?"

"I'm fine," growled Yoongi, ignoring the cuts that adorned his own body from his impromptu wrestling with the shattered glass of the broken window when he'd made his lunge to assist Taehyung in holding onto Namjoon.

Sejin didn't believe him for a minute. "Roger that. I'll have an ambulance on stand-by to transport Agent Kim, Mr Kim and yourself to the MNS hospital for treatment. The C Unit can clean up and take care of the terrorists. The senators and businessmen will be required to accompany the agents to headquarters for debriefing."

"How is Jungkook?" Taehyung had managed to get his com unit off his belt, despite the attention of Gwan and the first aid he was rendering.

Sejin hesitated for a moment and then decided to come clean. "I spoke with Doctor Park a few minutes ago. The drugs haven't been successful. He wants to take him through to surgery and perform the C-section as soon as possible."

"Fuck!" Taehyung began to push Mr Gwan away.

"Agent Min, can you get Agent Kim and Mr Kim out of the building as quickly as possible? I'll have the ambulance here ready to transport you all to the hospital."

"Roger that."

"Check with Agent Son in regards to the status of the elevators, you may need to come down via the stairwell."

Yoongi turned to the agent. "What is the status of the elevators?"

"Unknown. The stairwells are clear, only one trap set and that was on the doors opening to this level," replied Son.

"Shit. We need to get these guys out of here pronto. There's no way that Tae can make it down the stairs with his injuries, we need the elevator."

"Sir? I'll go and check them, see if they are clear," said Moon, stepping forward.

"Thank you." Yoongi turned back to the com unit.

"I can manage the stairs, hyung," Taehyung said as he tried to stand.

"I think not," replied Yoongi as he grabbed the falling man. "You need help, Taehyung."

"Jungkook needs me, hyung. I've wasted enough time here, now let me go," Taehyung stated as he struggled against the other agent.
