The Truth Untold

Chapter 8 - Catch Me If You Can

...

On the night of the stakeout, Jungkook was buzzing with excitement. He loved being on the field after so long. He longed for it. This was his place, his domain, being on the field, solving cases, arresting the bad guys, helping and saving innocent people... not sitting in a damn office. Ah, Jungkook felt amazing. He will be forever grateful to Hyung and Noona for taking him on their case. They both knew he needs this. He was like a dog who was tied up for far too long, ready to sprint outside on command.

It was around half past midnight, and the meeting was yet to take place, so Jinyoung, Hwasa and Jungkook sat in the car, waiting. They parked not too far away from the warehouse, but still close enough to see the comings and goings of the cars. So far, no one arrived yet, they were first.

-'' Alright, everyone ready?'' – Jinyoung asked, checking his gun. The other two did the same.

-'' Ready.'' – Jungkook replied.

Jinyoung looked at his watch. – '' The meeting is at 1 am, which gives us around 15 minutes to snoop around before we settle and hold our positions until the group come.'' – He spoke, eyes raising first at Hwasa, who sat at the passenger seat, checking their notes, and then at Jungkook at the back. – '' The informant said they are supposed to meet at the smaller storage room on the Eastside, so make sure you find some hiding-place around that area.''

Both Jungkook and Hwasa noded.

-'' Our objective is to look around, take a few clues if there are any, and we wait and see who will come, and then round them up. The main suspect is Lee Jisung, who goes by the name Snake. Korean, the late '30s, strong built, average height, dark hair, have arms full of tattoos. Gang-related.'' – He continued.

-'' Do we engage?'' – Jungkook asked.

-'' Not before everyone is there.'' – Jinyoung checked the small night vision camera on his shoulder.

The night was dark. Only a few street lamps were on here and there around the premises, not giving enough light for Jungkook's liking, but still, it allows him not to be spotted so easily. Jungkook just had to be extra careful where he is stepping, so he won't bump into something and make a ruckus.

He made sure not to step too close and stay in the dark. He, Hwasa and Jinyoung got near the old warehouse before they separated to cover more ground, surrounding the old building. The job was to snoop around, intersect the meeting group and take them for questioning.

He made a mental note of the few things he came across, which he ought to check after all of this is over. Everything was too quiet until he heard the footsteps approaching the other room. Jungkook quickly hid behind the heavy and huge metal container in the corner and waited, his gun ready. He steadied his breathing to a mere whisper before peaked around the corner.

Three people came in, all dressed in black, with grim faces. One of them was huge, like a Japanese sumo wrestler. He wore a bandana and a cap on his head and had a beard. The other was unremarkable, classic black t-shirt and pants, light brown short hair, but his eyes were like oil on the fire.

The third one took off his leather jacket and placed it on the nearby table. He wore a white sleeveless shirt and black baggy pants. His arms were decorated with some heavy tattoos. This must be Lee Jisung aka. Snake. Jungkook noticed the gun stuck at the back of his jeans. Nine calibres, thin and lightweight, perfect for carrying inconspicuously. If Jungkook is not mistaken.

Lee spoke. -'' Jay, go and check the place.'' – And the one with fiery eyes went out of the room.

So Lee is the leader. Jungkook decided.
