Slam!

Jimin had managed to shake them off before he jumped into his car. Luckily for him, the vile rats were keeping their distance as he ran. They were unrelenting. If Jimin was half a second late, one of them would've jumped inside. Now that he felt safe, he took out his phone.

"Taehyung-"

"Are you okay?"

He closed his eyes, "I am, yeah."

"Seokjin saw the criminal and then he said you talked to the criminal so what hap-"

"Seriously?!"

Apparently, the vermin hadn't given up because they were attempting to climb onto the hood of his car. Phone now forgotten, Jimin started his car and listened to it roar to life. Three of them had managed to get to his windshield, which is why he turned on the wipers while getting ready to reverse. Quickly looking in his rearview mirror and making sure it was clear, he stepped on the gas.

The crowd of rats still seemed to be following him while avoiding his tires. He had no other choice but to get as far away as possible.

Lookout. Seokjin thought this was an easy job until today. How could anyone expect him to keep eyes on three different locations at the same time?

His focus had been set on Jimin. His poor friend was being chased and he wasn't sure what he could do. Taehyung was already talking to him on the phone, so there was no warning him. Human Seokjin was basically useless...but Owl Seokjin might be able to help.

From his perch on the tree, Seokjin spread his wings.

He jumped, letting his wings catch the air, and shakily glided down to where Jimin had reversed his car. An owl is a rodent's predator, so he knew they would run from him. By the time he made it, Jimin had left the parking lot; leaving the rats behind. He braced himself for landing on the roof of a minivan.

Without saying anything, the rats noticed him and scattered around the parking lot. He flew from car to car to make sure they were truly leaving.

But as he flew to the parking lot entrance, he noticed something odd. Rats were jumping into sewer drains as expected, but the annoying crow was gone.

Earlier, Seokjin had noticed a crow circling the area. If it was so hungry, why didn't it eat any of the millions of rats he just saw?

And why did he see so many rats chasing his friend? Jimin probably knows the answer.

As fast as an owl could fly, Seokjin made his way behind his lookout tree.

Ring....ring...

Nothing, so he hung up.

Taehyung must still be talk-

Ring!

Seokjin answered the call, "What's up?"

"Jingles wants us to go to your place now, but..." Taehyung sighed, "We can't leave now. They're here and we can capture them if we're smart."

"Did Jingles tell you about the rats?"

"Rats? What rats? Is that why he was acting weird?"

The conversation Jimin had was easy to pick up on like the wind picks up his wings. She threatened him, insulted him, and told him to leave. She also whispered to herself in a way that made it sound like she was talking to someone other than Jimin. Did she have a partner with her or was it something else?

"Yes, the rats were chasing him and the criminal threatened to kill him, Ta- Vilhouette." He looked around the trees, afraid someone was listening, "I think we should leave."

"I'm not scared of someone that is taking care of the animals they steal."

"The others would agree. We need to leave. It's too dangerous."

Taehyung didn't answer on his end. His sigh was enough for Seokjin to hang up and text Hoseok that it was time to leave. Instantly, Hoseok replied that he'd be on his way out with "Indigo" in a minute. Seokjin was relieved. Those two leaving meant that Namjoon must've gotten information on the criminal.
