"Do you know why you're here?".

"Yeah ".

"Care to tell your father why".

Silence.

"Speak!".

Silence.

"What has he done ?".

"To get straight to the point. 9 men are in the hospital. One in a coma. He could die -".

Harry glanced down at taehyung who was seated on the wooden chair at the station. Hands cuffed. Mouth bleeding. Strings of blood leaking from his right  eye, running down his cheek as if they were tears. Blood soaked in his t-shirt. Knuckles bruised and cut open enough to show red. His forehead had a deep gash ,allowing blood to ooze out like thick honey.

Despite being in so much of pain. Taehyung had the nerve to lift his eyes and smirk at the cop who had arrested him for Greg's incident too. "Francis, what will happen now?", Harry asked his dear friend who sighed,  placing his hands on his waist. "Trust me.  I know these men. Powerful and dangerous. They won't rest until your kid is behind bars for putting their boss in a coma-". Taehyung continued to flash his cocky smirk. He was not apologetic. Infact he'd do it all over again. He had warned Jones about touching Anastasia. Her debt had been paid. There was no need for him to harass her. Taehyung had shown him hell. He kept to his promise.

"Can you not hold him for the night and release him tomorrow ? ", Harry whispered helplessly. "I've already pulled that string once , Harry. I don't think I'd be able to set him free again. Especially not with these men up my ass-", he sighed and Harry turned to taehyung. "Why did you do it ? Maybe if your confession is justified-", taehyung glanced up at his father . "Justified? I don't break bones for no reason. There was a debt to be paid. I had settled it long ago. He had deliberately broken the deal and touched what doesn't fucking belong to him-", taehyung grit. "I showed him his place -", he add with a shrug.

The cop passed a glance to Harry before looking back down at tae.

"You got proof about this deal and its agreement?", he asked. "Ofcourse,  do I look like an idiot?", taehyung glared up. "Well, that did not give you the right to take matters into your own hands. You should have filed a case -", he swat the ivory desk. Harry sighed , crossing his arms over his chest. "He's absolutely right taehyung ". Taehyung turned to his father,  "right? Half of the time it's the cops who allow crimes to slip right through the cracks. Why? Because they get fucking paid to do so. Cursed money-", taehyung made eye contact with Francis who gulped awkwardly. As much as he hated to admit it but taehyung was right. Bribery was massive in the police industry.

"We'll keep him for the night. I want those documentary tomorrow ", he said to taehyung through gritted teeth. Harry pulled Francis aside to speak in private. The guard wrapped his hand around tae's arm ,helping the injured man to his feet. "The cell is right around the corner. Can you walk?", he asked softly and tae gave a nod. "C'mon then-" , he continues to be a pillar to the limping man. They get into the cell and he helped tae sit on the wooden bench. Taehyung huffed, leaning his back against the cold wall.

"Cuffs-", the guard said and unlocked it. "We'll send in someone to patch you up. Tomorrow you should head to the hospital. You could be badly hurt-", he said as he locked the cell gate and left. Taehyung scoffed , reaching up and wiping his cheek with his knuckles. The blood leaking from his eye never quit yet. He was in pain but fuck was it worth it . His demons made him proud tonight. If anything , taehyung came out stronger thanks to his childhood trauma. He never allowed anyone to walk over him and he'd never allow them to harass Anastasia. He was glad jungkook showed. Ofcourse he felt guilty for not being the one who went to help her but he sure made them repent.
