Last chance to run

The remaining members of the group continued going up the stairs.

They promised Chan they would stay together, yet they managed to loose Felix and Minho in a moment of not paying attention.

That's how Hyunjin found himself behind Jisung and Jeongin. Their visions were trying to adjust to the smoke.

On the third floor, they heard a gunshot. Jisung froze and Jeongin reached for his rifle.

Hyunjin's first instinct was to covered his ears and to squat down. But he didn’t. He took Jisung and Jeongin dragged them in a corner, then shielded them with his own body, covering their ears with his hands. When the gunshots stopped, he checked on the two to see if they are startled.

-Are you both ok?

They nodded slowly getting up.

-We need to keep going, said Hyunjin looking up to the next levels. And to stay together! Jisung!

Han was running in the exact direction the gunshot came from. Why? Not even himself knew. He wanted Hyunjin and Jeongin to reach the roof and to hide there until the smoke will turn red. And for that, he needed to do the only thing he was good at. Being the bait.

He entered the control room and pumped into the enemy.

-You were in the helicopter when hyung got hurt. You blew up our house!

In front of Jisung there was Mingi standing with a gun in hand, eager to kill Jisung. Before pushing the trigger, the door slammed closed. They both looked confused at it and met with a police officer.

-Song Mingi, profesional sniper, Mafia's problem kid. And Han Jisung, wanted for false impersonation. What a pleasure! smirked Hoseok with his hand on the knob.

Jeongin was running up the stairs followed by Hyunjin.

-We're almost there! Don't you dare stop, dog!

Jeongin reached to the door to the roof, but when he tried it out, it was locked.

-Damn it! he cused trwoing his body in the door to force it open.

His shoulder was still bleeding and the struggle to open the door wasn't helping.

Hyunjin took a hairclip and handed to Jeongin. The latter started trying to break the lock.

Hyunjin was paying attention to the younger and didn't notice the Mafia member rushing towards him with brutality. He was pushed in the wall facing San.

-Hyung? shouted Jeongin scared.

-Keep trying! I can handle him!

Hyunjin hit intentionally his head to San's make him dazed for a second. Enough for him to hit San in the stomach and knock him down. He ran to Jeongin, but San grabbed his leg making him stumble and fall. On the stair there was Taehyung comming with a gun, ready to shot Jeongin.

-I unlocked it! yelled the latter waiting for Hyunjin to miraculously escape and come with him.

It didn't happen like that. Hyunjin ordered him to go without him. Jeongin thought about it for a second. He couldn't let Hyunjin behind. But he obeyed. He needed to trust Hyunjin can handle them.

He got out of the building on the roof locking the door behind him. He sighed in relief before realising he wasn't alone. Jungkook was pointing his gun towards him.

-If I kill you, I will prove myself to Taehyung hyung. The best sniper in town. Yeah, sure, he scoffed. What can a kid like you do?

-At least give him a chance to take out his rifle, a voice said from behind Jungkook.

Wooyoung was standing there with a dager in his hand.

In the van, there was Seungmin watching through the security cameras everything that was happening. Seeing his colleagues attacked from all sides, he was so close to get his ass out of the van and go help them of it weren't for Changbin to yell at him that a police car comes with speed towards them.

Seungmin looked through the window and rushed to the driver seat. He pressed the acceleration and sped the car backwards. The cars crushed leaving a drain of sparkle.

Seungmin's hands were clenched on the wheel so hard that his knuckles were white. Changbin was right next to him, trying to hold on in the impact.

In the opposite car was Jin as the driver, mad and angry.

Suddenly another impact quaked the vehicle. Seungmin looked behind and spotted Yunho with another car hiting the back of the car.

They were trapped between the police and Mafia.

And if you by some chance wonder where were their leader, your answer is simple.

Chan was visiting an old building, hospital-like, in ruin and mold.

There was a certain smell of medicine impregnated in the walls. The kind of smell you find in the waiting room of a doctor cabinet.

About the walls...some of them were covered in blood, some were white imaculate with a little dust.

The floor was covered in red bracelets with numbers on them. Chan picked one up and read what was written on it.

"CB97"

He squeezed it in his fist and continued his way to the room only the end of the hall.

He slowly opened the door to see a round table in the middle of the room with five chairs around it. Two of them were occupied by some familiar faces.

-So you came after all. I was sceptic about whether you will show up or not, said Hongjoong resting his legs on the table.

-You haven't chanced a bit, Channie, added Namjoon with his hand on his chin.

Chan took a deep breath and closed the door behind him, knowing it may be his last chance to turn back and run.
