Shield Defense

"Leadernim," came Yoongi's voice in his ear.

Namjoon couldn't move to acknowledge what was happening, he needed both hands right now.

Alex Agron sat in his chair still, the smirk now gone from his face as Namjoon leveled the Beretta in between his eyebrows. Vladimir had moved from aiming at Petrov, to aiming at Namjoon.

"It's like all those American movies," whispered Alex and Namjoon rolled his eyes.

"Leadernim, the client has been affected. Moving to plan B," came Yoongi's voice and Namjoon nodded slightly to indicate he'd heard.

He didn't dare look down at Lara right now, not with Vladimir still staring at him. Namjoon was fairly certain that the bodyguards around Konstantin were questioning where they needed to move to, and Namjoon didn't need multiple guns trained on him.

As soon as Namjoon acknowledged the move to Plan B, he began to see the familiar red laser dot of Yoongi's Covert moving up Vladimir's arm. Against the stark black of the suit, it was impossible to miss, and Vlad wasn't blind. His eyes widened and he took his finger off the trigger ever so slowly and put the gun down onto the table in front of Alex.

Pulling his hands out again, he held them in front of him, palms down and waited.

Namjoon had seen that before but couldn't place the movement. Alex Agron, had his palms down facing the table as well and Namjoon held his Berettas steady. There was something here he was missing, but he couldn't call to mind the memory just now.

"Leadernim, Konstantin and some of the bodyguards are exiting on the west side of the warehouse. Hu Chen and his group are exiting the warehouse through the north side. But some of the Agrons bodyguards are moving in behind Vladimir," came Jimin's voice.

"You made your statement," said Namjoon in what he hoped was passable English. "Your message was received. Is your task complete for the evening?"

Vladimir looked puzzled and Namjoon turned to Alex Agron instead.

"Nyet," said Alex shaking his head slowly. "I am afraid my friend that we have more business to do with our old friend. And now new business to conduct with yourself still this evening."

"Joon," came the worried breath of Jungkook. "The Agrons are moving behind you. Five groups of five." Namjoon waited and finally got the information he was looking for from Yoongi a moment later.

"Leadernim, warehouse is clear," said Yoongi and it made Namjoon smile slightly. No additional civilians, no witnesses.

"Clear the road boys, we need to get home," he said out loud, to the perplexed Agron's. Alex opened his mouth to say something, but the second floor erupted with gunfire from Bangtan and Sentinel, and Namjoon ducked under the table with Lara.

"Hi," he said brightly and made her shake her head at him. Namjoon spun to see that Lisa Balagula was still covering her ears, but her eyes were wide open now. He caught her attention and made a "shh" motion with his hands and she nodded slightly, then winced as the first of the Agron's enforcers that had tried to encircle Namjoon fell against the railing behind her.

Namjoon watched two more enforcers begin to approach the staircase behind them and put his Beretta's to good use. Both enforcers went down within seconds, but Namjoon knew there were three more in that group.

"Lara," he called "How bad are we talking," he asked nearly casually.

Lara frowned at him again, but finally decided he must be so used to this kind of environment that it didn't phase him anymore. They definitely had things to talk about before they got breakfast, she thought as she ducked yet another set of woodchips as a bullet hit a nearby table and splintered it.
