August 2, Saturday, noon

Jimin tried to sleep. Leaning next to Soo Hyun, he managed to close his eyes, and before he knew it, he was being shaken awake. The auction had started, and the empty rows of metal fold-out chairs were all filled with people. The garage doors were shut and locked. The sounds of people shuffling around and chairs scraping on the cement floor filled the air. Jimin could not believe he slept through all that. There were around 75 people sitting in the chairs, about 30 buyers, each with 1 or 2 personal bodyguards.

There were around 115 hostages in the cages from 4 different providers. This was the first year G-Dragon was a provider, and only because he had 3 untouched virgin male omegas otherwise, he probably would not have been included. As he said, he went directly to the buyer to make secure a deal to be at the auction. Soo Hyun had woken Jimin up when the guards opened the gate and dragged the first omega hostage out. Everyone was standing now, paying close attention to what was going on because it would be only a matter of time before it happened to each of them.

The first omega was a pretty little girl around the age of 17 years old, still in her high school uniform. Her long black hair parted on the side framed her pretty face. She had some bruises on her legs as well as around her wrists, like she had been tied and tossed around. She was pulled and pushed to stand on top of a box they put at the end of the warehouse so everyone could see her. There was a man standing beside the box using a microphone to give details of the girl from a big 3-ring binder in front of him.

She was forced to turn around in a circle as the bidding started. The only sound that could be heard was the auctioneer's chant and the girl's sobbing as the seated buyers silently raised paddle boards displaying the number assigned to each bidder when he or she registered for the auction. Jimin could not understand the babble that was being said, but his heart hurt for the girl standing there. The musclehead human ringman controlling the girl lifted up the back of her skirt to show her bottom to the audience resulting in the bids going higher and the girl sobbing louder. She tried to cover her butt with her hands.

Finally, the bidding was over. The girl was forced to the bookkeeper, who took her thumbprint on her record and marked it with her new owner's name and bidding number. A paper was pinned to her shirt with the number, and she was thrown into another cage at the end of the warehouse to be collected by her new owner after the auction was over. The whole process made Jimin sick to his stomach.

Yoongi was also disgusted at the events. It was degrading and dishonorable. He stood in the back by the door, waiting for the signal to open it and allow the NIS agents to come in. The warriors were outside working with the NIS agents to restrain the 20 security guards outside the warehouse. Out of the 10 guards that were inside the warehouse, 4 of them were warriors from their pack. Including Yoongi and Jungkook, that means they only needed to take out 4 inside guards, but that still leaves about 45 independent security personnel they needed to subdue. And that was the dangerous part.

Jungkook and KeonHo had eyes on the record book, which had cataloged all the information about every omega the group has auctioned in the past and all the new omegas in the pen, along with the name of the provider and owners. It was a valuable piece of evidence. Not only did KeonHo need to get that record book, but he also needed to capture the ring leader that organized and operated the auction.

The ringman was opening the gate to grab another omega, and the process repeated itself for the next hour. They were doing all the female omegas first, leaving the males to wait until last. Jimin saw the other boy that was in their group holding onto the blonde girl with a death grip. Jimin had learned the boy was 13 years old and his name was Jeon Chi Bin. The blonde girl was also 13 years old, named Choi Yena, that looks like a literal doll, with big blue eyes and a heart-shaped face, naturally rosy cheeks, and full plump lips. She was the next to be grabbed by the ringman.
