Deja Vu // Ateez

Twenty-Two

<•>

Yunho gripped the knife tightly in his right hand, wondering if his survival would come down to the thin blade.

With Hyunjin pointing the way, they turned a corner and ran up a flight of stairs. Yunho stayed close to the back with Felix and Mingi while the rest were in the middle and Hongjoong walking close behind Hyunjin.

"What do you need with the computers?" Felix asked.

"I think I can get access to our database at Hala Hala and tell Namjoon what's happening," Yeosang explained while staying alert. "I think it's best if we just try and get out of here."

"So we aren't going to blow this place up yet?" Yunho said, a little pout following afterwards.

"No, I think it's best to get Jongho and San, then go back to Hala Hala and plan on what to do next. We're also out numbered."

"Man," Yunho said. "Blowing something up sounded fun."

Everyone stopped and looked at him. Yunho shrugged and smiled. "Being locked in the cell wasn't a good idea."

"Obviously.." Hyunjin muttered, eyeing the brunette up and down before shaking his head and going back to leading the way.

"Okay, survive now, attack later, got it." Hongjoong said, mostly to the twin towers standing in the back.

"They're no fun." Mingi muttered to Yunho who hummed in agreement.

They made it to floor twenty when a man walked out into the staircase, stopping in his tracks and looking between them. "Hyunjin? Felix? What are you guys doing here?"

"Uh- Hey Jasper, we were just headed to floor forty to find Felix's dad."

The man hummed and looked back at all of the others standing behind them. "While you're at it, we're looking for a man with pink hair. If you see him, shoot him on site."

That made Hongjoong's hair bristle. He went to walk towards him but Yunho grabbed his arm to stop him, but that didn't go unnoticed by the man named Jasper. Then Jasper took one last look at them before widening his eyes. "What the hell! You let them out!"

Hongjoong let out a scream and charged at him, slamming hard against his chest, making him fly backwards. Jasper hit the wall hard, sliding down as Hongjoong got on top of him, lifting a fist up and slamming it hard against his face. "Where is he?!"

Jasper turned his head to spit blood out of his mouth. "I-I don't know."

"Bullshit!" Another hard punch echoed off the wall.

"I-I swear, when we attacked h-h-him he was able to get away."

"You attacked him?!"

Jasper's eyes widened with fear, watching as Hongjoong let go of him and pointed a gun at his head. "Hongjoong! Stop!" Seonghwa ran up to him, getting in between him and Jasper.

Hongjoong had rage in his eyes. The look of a killer washed over his features. "Move Seonghwa."

"If you kill him then we won't know where San is."
