Criminal Syndicate [Taekook Mafia AU]

Chapter 2

"Sir...." While passing tissues to the sobbing, defenseless man, Officer Namjoon called.

"You have to hold yourself together, sir."

The man nodded.

Namjoon positioned his chair directly in front of Lee Taeyong, taking a clear view of his tear-stained face.

"How much do you know about the mafioso?"

"My husband," he said, trying to wipe away the tears that would not stop as he spoke. "He worked with V, led by the late boss Sihyuk and his junior subordinate."

Taeyong attempted to recollect "Jackson Wang."

"I don't know anything more than that," said Taeyong, looking up to face the policeman.

"Anything about the anonymous friend of Sihyuk?"

Taeyong shook his head in denial.

"All right, sir, you really did us a huge favor. You can now leave for home. We'll make an effort to use the information you gave us."

Examining the recently created case files, Namjoon remarked, "The locations of the hideouts and casinos should give us enough directions."

With the files in hand, Namjoon was ready to depart, instructing his junior officer to accompany the young widower.

"I could be their bait," Taeyong interrupted the man.

Namjoon looked back at him. He noticed there were no more tears in his bloodshot eyes, just determination and rage.

"Since you probably have a targeted location already, I can help with my husband's old passcard to the place that he might've forgotten to destroy earlier." Taeyong paused, averting his gaze.

"I know V's preferences... gender preferences."

Namjoon gazed astonished at his perilous invitation

"Sir, it's just too risky. It will endanger your life. This is not the time to sacrifice another innocent citizen."

"I don't care about my life!" Taeyong shouted in agony.

"It has already been destroyed by those bastards. Let me use what remains of it to exact revenge on them for my husband. Please officer," he pleaded with the police.

An invitation like that couldn't help but entice Namjoon. Regardless of the brutality or the fact that it violates police policies and procedures,

He needed to take this gamble.

...

The City of New York never sleeps. They are at work all day, all night. For the Mafias, it was the same. Not a wink of a break while getting their hands filthy for the entire day.

But they did have a place to spend leisure. Their favorite places to relax were casinos. Not quite; gunfire was a common occurrence there as well. However, everything was a part of their "hanging out" session so yeah. The police frequently raided and shut down these locations, but who can really stop the Mafia? Ten more are constructed on the city's underground areas, as one gets shut down.

Idling around with the scum of the underworld's boys and girls, V was having just another typical night at a pretty famous casino. He enjoyed hooking up with a diverse range of people. Despite being a criminal, the man in his late twenties had a very open mind. As he charmed them with his card tricks, he had a ton of young people swooning all over him. A girl was serving him whiskey.

 
That's when he saw him.
