*pumps fist* THIS IS IT YALL!

"I need to pick you up today, we've got to go out to town for a little bit."

On a Saturday morning, Jungkook often found himself half asleep on Taehyung's couch, tired eyes being blinded by the sun rays that peeked through the windows. Today was much the same, except for the fact that this time around he had been woken up by a phone call.

It was from Jimin, which wasn't quite a surprise, but he still felt his chest jump with a bit of excitement every time the older male called him. Phone calls from Jimin usually meant something interesting was about to happen.

"Out? Where?" He asked, balancing his phone between his shoulder and his face as he reached for a granola bar out of Taehyung's cupboard. He definitely wasn't ready to go anywhere at all, his only attire being a pair of grey sweatpants and some mismatched socks. He still sported his bed head as well, brunette strands in complete disarray.

"You with your questions." Jimin sighed over the phone, making Jungkook crack a small smile as he unwrapped his snack. "If you're so interested, then be ready in ten minutes." Jungkook couldn't help but sputter at that, pushing himself off of the kitchen counter that he had been leaning on.

"You live way farther than ten minutes away from me." Jungkook replied, jogging back over to the couch and picking up his black T-shirt from where it had been thrown before he fell asleep. "Unless you called me to inform me of leaving while you were already on the way, you're bullshitting."

He put Jimin on speaker, setting the phone on the table so that he could pull his shirt over his head.

"Maybe you should be a detective instead." Jimin laughed sarcastically over the phone, making Jungkook roll his eyes as he realized that the older male really was already on the way over to Taehyung's. It seemed that his robberies were the only thing that Jimin truly planned, every other aspect of his life seeming to be on the fly. He often showed up unannounced and he never clued Jungkook in on what they were doing. "In all seriousness though, today is technically an other training session for you."

Jungkook's eyes widened. All of the other training that he had done with Jimin had been fairly disclosed. Sparring at the parking lot, shooting a gun in an abandoned building, learning to pick locks in Jimin's own home - all hidden places. What could Jimin possibly have to teach him out in the middle of busy downtown?

"Training? In public?" He couldn't help but voice his concern, walking over to Taehyung's bathroom to check what his hair looked like in the mirror. "Isn't that like the opposite of what you do?"

Jimin hummed over the phone, Jungkook able to also hear the sound of wind whipping past him over the receiver.

"That's how you know it's important."

-

As promised, Jimin had picked Jungkook up barely five minutes after their phone call had ended. Taehyung was still half asleep in his room when Jungkook told him he was going out, only giving the younger male a tired grunt in response.

Despite being quite tight lipped about what they were doing on the phone, once he had Jungkook in person - Jimin wasn't afraid to spill the truth.

"Today," Jimin began, turning in his seat to face Jungkook - who sat behind him in the car. "We are doing a daylight stakeout."

There was a smile on Jimin's lips, and Jungkook couldn't help but feel a tad bit suspicious about how excited the older male seemed. "You know most of the details, our next hit is planned to be on a diamond supplier based downtown. We just want to make sure that everything is in order before we actually do it."
