Criminal Syndicate [Taekook Mafia AU]

Chapter 7

Taehyung reloaded his shot gun for the 7th time before pointing at the target again. He has been spending half of his day at the shooting studio and the other half getting beaten up by the trainer at the boxing rink. This has been his life since the past few months. Not that he minded, Officer Namjoon did ask him to take breaks but he knew he couldn't. He had to work much harder to be like V. He had to be Exactly like V. Getting inside the syndicate was easy for anybody. But remaining and surviving there was possible for only the extremely professional and capable spies. Taehyung on the other hand, a mere farmer, had to go there as a spy impersonating the deadliest crime boss V. He had to give his blood sweat and tears to leave no flaw. After all, it's for the sake of his state and police. Taehyung always wanted to get into police academy, but his poor fate didn't let him. Now that he is given the chance for doing a such a huge favour for the country and the police, how could he refuse with all that youthful tenacity and insistence he still had built up within??

"You're still practicing I see" Namjoon commented entering the scene.

"Have you done your daily impersonating practice?"

"I have.." Taehyung spoke with a raspy voice. His voice was no different than V's. Only if he switched to the man's speaking style, no one could tell or even suspect the individual not being the real V.

"Good. Even your casual speaking tone is becoming like his" Namjoon complemented

"I don't know how much of his personality the recorded clips of Mr.V could reveal, though" Taehyung shared his concern.

"They should be enough..." Namjoon said, "After all, you're going there pretending to have lost all your memories anyways"

Taehyung still couldn't help but be tensed. Namjoon noticed and tried reassuring him putting his hands on the boy's shoulder. Taehyung's hair grew in these months. When he worked on his stance, Namjoon couldn't help but fear for the man before him being the real V.  V was like a phantom. Haunting every police as well as every gangster, even after his decease. One couldn't help but shiver in fear at night in isolation, what if his ghost shows up?? Nothing was impossible for that man. Everyone knew of V's threatening aura. Breathing the same air near him, made people choke from  miles away. How could this mere innocent farmer boy live the life of V in the the mafia syndicate? Was Namjoon being irrational?? Could Taehyung even survive a few hours there without getting caught??

"Taehyung-ah..." Namjoon called, "If anything goes wrong. Anything feels suspicious, practically anything, you call me, right away with no hesitation, I'll send backup"

Taehyung looked at Namjoon and realised, that it was time. He wasn't ready. He will never be ready. But Namjoon felt that he was, so he had to do it. Even if he were to lose his life the very second he steps inside the underworld, he had to do it for the police's sake. If not for police or state, he had to do it for Junie's sake. Junie being the child he fostered for years. The little boy couldn't speak his name when he was found. He was wearing a broken pendant encarved Junie, which is why Taehyung decided to call him that.

Police Cheif Min Yoongi sat still in his office desk pinching the crown of his nose for long 30 minutes, tensed and worried about the situation. It had been over 6 months since the incident. The most feared mob, the one and only V, was in the possession of Police now. But at what cost?? He has been in coma for the first 5 months and now that he gained consciousness, he barely remembers his own name. Officer Namjoon kept him updated about V's condition all these time from Daegu. By now, the syndicate must also be fully aware about what was going on. The police department had equally as many spies as they had inside the criminal syndicate. Namjoon informed him that the hospitals in Daegu could not provide enough security and there had been raid attempts quite a few times. They had to shift V to Seoul. The fellow mafia men of V would predictably try to retrieve his body from time to time. They were bringing V to Daegu the given day. There shouldn't be much risk during flight time. But anything could happen after transferring his body to ambulance bringing him to Seoul's government secured hospital by road. Even though V wasn't being of much use to them, even by using him as blackmail material to threaten the syndicate, the syndicate could care less. The news about his memory loss must've also reached them by now. But Today,  By any possible moment, he'll be out of their sight. Many officers insisted on finishing V off. If this man was executed, 50% threats from the underworld world would vanish. But Yoongi knew very well  about the law. A man with non of his memories present is considered as pure as a newborn so no matter how dirty his past might be, he were not to be punished at any cost. Besides, even if V's memories come back, would that witty son of a bitch bother revealing it? If V dies while being in the supervision of Police, law would question them first, even if it were the mafia who carried out the deed.
