A Guardian's Promise- Minbin

THIRTEEN: To kill a mockingbird

It was eight pm, and the sun had long gone down past the horizon, giving way for the moon to rise.

As it always did in the past, and always will in the future, until the end of its life, the moon will witness all outcomes.
These were the final moments of the current era of the Guardian Council, and whether things would turn for better or for worse was up to Changbin and the companions he had made in the past couple of weeks.

Changbin landed his craft on a building, the back of it opening to reveal him with two people beside him. He was currently in his police uniform, preparing himself for a fight if need be.

The soldiers walked over to the two people in handcuffs, Yunjin and Jeongin struggling to get out of them while they were blindfolded (the blindfolds were actually see-through, but onlookers wouldn't know).
"What's this?" the guard asked.
"I'm taking them in for interrogation. Number one's orders for me." Changbin explained.
"Is there proof of this? I need to see-"

"Do you dare question number one's authority? He notified me and only me because of its importance. You can always ask him later, although I wouldn't be surprised if he cussed you out for ignorance." Changbin said.
The guard stuttered and nodded.
"Right, apologies!" the guard nodded.
Changbin thanked the guard before escorting Jeongin and Yunjin to the side of the building.

They walked over the invisible bridge, ending up inside in a more secluded entry zone.
Changbin made sure they weren't in camera range before helping them both take off their blindfolds.
"That was an experience," Yunjin huffed.
"Sorry if the cuffs are too tight," Changbin apologized.
"It's okay," Jeongin reassured the other.
"Let's hope Seungmin can deactivate the cameras so we can get moving," Changbin said.

At the other end of the HQ, Seungmin was carefully escorted across a bridge with the help of Hyunjin and Sakura, a large box of supplies with him.

They had previously made a reliable holo paper that allowed Seungmin to enter the HQ when the Guardians needed his assistance and couldn't go to him.
To make it believable, Sakura told the guards that Jisung was running out of supplies and was also preoccupied with cases.
The guards bought it after checking the box contents and allowed them in.

They ended up in an area where there were many people moving around supplies and files.
"Let's go to Chaewon and Jisung," Hyunjin told Seungmin.
They walked off, and Sakura followed them slowly, looking around for suspicious persons, just in case.
They ended up in front of a door, Hyunjin knocking on the door in a subtle but different pattern.
The door slid open, and they made their way in.
They went down a hall before another door opened, revealing a room with lights going around the perimeter.

The white walled room had many tables and scientific tools, tools of all sorts, flasks, and ingredients all over the place. There were some laptops and plants around as well.
Jisung and Chaewon looked up at them, Jisung smiling as he spotted the crew.
"Great, you guys made it." Jisung smiled.
"Of course. Let's get these systems down." Seungmin placed the box down, and he opened it back up, tapping the tools.
They then became holo papers.

"Chan really has the best tech, doesn't he? No wonder he's number one, he's a master hacker!" Jisung smiled, Seungmin smiled back.
Seungmin took a seat, accessing the holo paper and using the device as Chan told him.
He pressed some buttons before the screen finally showed the words 'SECURITY BREACHED'. The cameras were going down, and many locked areas were now easily going to be opened.
"Good job!" Chaewon clapped.
"Guys," Seungmin said as he tapped the earpiece in his ear.

The earpieces were very discreet and not noticeable, thankfully.
"The security is down. Make your distractions now, everyone. Remember, we have a max of an hour." Seungmin said.
"Thanks!" Jeongin's voice came, Seungmin smiling softly.
"Be careful, all of you." Seungmin replied, although they all knew it was out of concern for Jeongin.
"Roger," Minho's voice responded.
"I'll start my attack on the Council. Changbin, make sure Yunjin and Jeongin are safe." Chan said.
"Alright," Changbin responded.
"We'll be on standby for when Chan completes his mission." Hyunjin said.
