"We've heard that he's having shipments arrive at one of the docks, but we're not sure which one. We don't know when, how, why, nothing", the consigliere announces to the people sitting in the room.

Both Yoongi and Jimin sit on one couch, Runa and Jungkook on the other with the Doberman lying next to her heeled feet. Her brother was pissed and she mirrored his exact frown as they listened to Dong-Wook.

"Jesus, how can no one know anything? This is ridiculous. All the resources I have I'm using to comb this city and scrape it until it's raw, and yet he still can't be found", Jimin angrily spits out, causing the tatted male next to him to scrunch his nose and shift.

The consigliere nods with disappointment, "I know, boss. We have most of our men looking for him, day in and day out. Something will pop up eventually", he attempts to sound positive but it doesn't lighten the mood whatsoever.

"Will it?", Jimin scoffs, his palm smoothing back his dyed hair that looked fresh as always, pairing well with the suit he wore of a darker shade.

"We might have to make a move soon, anything to get him running out in the streets. We can't sit on our hands and let him roam this city freely. I won't let it happen. We won't", he takes a glance at his sister who nods in agreement.

"We won't, and I have an idea. It's reckless, and I might get killed but-"

"No", all three men say in unison, looking at each other before they settle a sharp look on her and she clears her throat from the tension.

"At least hear me out", she attempts, but with a shake of Jimin's head, a stern look from her ex, a side eye from her bodyguard, and a deadpan expression from the consigliere, she gives up.

"Alright fine, like I said it was reckless anyways. But-"

"No", they repeated, making her eyes roll.

"I was just going to say that if maybe we let it slip that I'll be in the city on a particular day, it may lure him out. If he knew for sure that I'd be somewhere, he'd take the opportunity to meet me and/or kidnap me to get to Jimin."

Before the men could protest, she held up her hand, "Which won't happen because we'll have men in the building ready to move in if necessary. All I'm saying is let's use bait to get his attention. I have the perfect place in mind, somewhere he wouldn't expect an attack because it's a public place with private floors only accessible by me. If I can get him to follow me, we'll have him trapped."

It's silent as she awaits an answer from her brother, whose approval is necessary to move on. She could feel the burn from Jungkook's eyes at the side of her head, but remained unbothered and kept her eyes on Jimin, watching as he contemplated and his frown eased.

"It's not a terrible idea. I can get my men to go undercover beforehand just in case Taemin plans on scouting the area to kill off any guards. We'll have a small camera on you to make sure you're safe and we'll record everything", he elaborates, receiving an eager nod from her before he questions.

"What place did you have in mind?"

"One of our dealerships, the one that's on the outskirts of the city, not too close to garner much attention and it has multiple exits. Seeing as people would be there, I think he'd make a plan beforehand if he knew I was going. We could see if he's caught on CCTV and have him searched in the system. We know what he looked like years ago, so I'm sure he doesn't look that different now", she adds in.

It's risky but everything they did always included that. Seeing as the Kang's owned multiple dealerships across the country and manufactured vehicles, it was a resource they could use, something that would catch this gangster's eye and make him want to meet her in a place where he'd think she wouldn't suspect being attacked.
