BLACKBIRD IN THE SWARM // Jenkook

Chapter 3: Compromised

JUNGKOOK POV

Out in the yard chopping up wood, Denise came out and saw me.

"Hey Timmy, I have lunch ready," Denise said.

"What are we having," I asked.

"I made some grilled cheese come and get some," she said.

"I'll be right there."

Denise and I went inside and I grabbed a plate for my sandwich. While eating there was knocking on our door. I saw as Denise walked up to the door and opened it.

"Gable, what are you doing here, we're not fishing until Thursday," Denise said.

"I know, I'm not here for that," Gable said. "I just came here to stop by and tell you that a black vehicle is heading this way, I saw on the cameras. And it's one of those ETF trucks as well, don't know why they're here. They're aren't going to fine anything worth it."

As Gable left, my heart was pounding.

"Did he say ETF," I said.

"Yeah, don't worry they're going to waste their time here," Denise said.

JENNIE POV

Driving through the cabins I saw the car that was spotted on the cameras. Once I parked my car in front, I walked up to the door and knocked. There a lady opened it.

"What do you want," she asked.

"Hi, is that your car," I said.

"Yeah, what about it," she said.

"And are you Denise Clemons," I asked.

"Yes, listen I ain't don't nothing wrong, you got the wrong house," I said.

"So this was you driving on the freeway," I asked.

"Oh that, that wasn't me, that was Timmy," she said. "TIMMY, this lady wants to see you."

"I'll just go up to him," I said.

"His room is 2nd door to the right," she said.

As I walked in a bunch of weapons I saw on display and a machete knife on the kitchen counter. Walking up the stairs, I entered Timmy's room. I saw no one there. I even tried looking around in closets or underneath the bed, but I couldn't find Timmy. When I left the room, I noticed that there was an door. Pulling down the latter the stepped into the attic and found bags and bags of weapons. Flashing my light these weapons aren't your typical hunting or outdoor type. These were military grade weapons, the stuff we use at the task force. Just then as I walked further into the attic, something began to ring. Three beeps were heard before finally smoke came out of the sides of the attic. I covered my mouth as a soon realized that it was tear gas released. I quickly made it down and out of the house.

"Is everything okay miss, you find Timmy," the lady asked.

"No, it's okay I don't need him anymore," I said and went back into my car.

JUNGKOOK POV

As soon as I saw the tear gas release I made a run for it far away from the house.

5 HOURS LATER

By the lake side was were I could really hide. I'm not taking my chances and going back to the house until I know it's clear. Who knows, maybe the task force brought reinforcements and I inspecting the house. I just hope that Denise is okay. For my sake she couldn't know where I was going or when I was leaving the house. Anyway it was dark out and I decided to go back to the house. I opened the door and saw Denise cracking up a fire.

"Hey," I said.

"Where the bell were you. I had the task force sniffing around here because of you," Denise said.

"Of course they would be looking for me," I said.

I then went upstairs and the attic and packed my things.

"You're leaving," Denise asked.

"I have to, can't risk your safety and mine," I said. "Denise it was fun when you brought me in and I'm grateful for that. So I can't let you take the fall an get arrested for harboring a fugitive."

"Where are you going to go, they lock you up if you go to the airport or transport bus," Denise said.

"I'll find my own way, always have," I said.

Before I exited the door, Denise hugged me.

"It was nice knowing you Jungkook," she said.

"Huh, I haven't heard you use my real name I a while," I said.

"Cause I didn't like it, I like Timmy better. I like nicknames," Denise said.

"I'm going to need the motorcycle."

When I left, I went out to the back and Denise grabbed by motorcycle in the yard. Packing up everything I snagged the keys from her. One last time I see this place, and I drove off with Denise waving goodbye.

JENNIE POV

"You let them get away," Foxtrot complained.

"Relax," I said.

"Relax, we don't know if that's a criminals on the loose and you fucking let them get away," Foxtrot yelled.

*beep beep*

"What was that," Foxtrot said.

"I put a tracker around the perimeter of the house," I said. "Anyone who enters or leaves, we can track using heat signature. And right now, this Timmy guy has left the house," I showed Foxtrot the footage.

"He's on a motorcycle going who knows where," Foxtrot said. "Okay I take back everything I said."

We were scrolling through the cameras to see where they were going.

"So where is he going," Foxtrot asked.

"I don't know, but let follow him," I said.
