Taehyung and Min Yoongi waited patiently for Jimin and J-Hope to arrive. While they had time to spare, they decided to go over all the things that they know.

Min Yoongi: You have all the notes about the case here?

Taehyung: Yes, I do. Here is notepad for you as well and some water.

Min Yoongi: Thank you. Let's start at the beginning.

Taehyung: Okay. The murders of Amber and her sons were on December 14th. Their bodies were discovered on December 16th and Ghost was assaulted. On the 17th, we identified the victims, found Ghost, we interviewed her parents, and I visited IA as well as the examiner's office. Jin and Namjoon found Lin and arrested him. The first package was sent to the lab, Ghost was found dead inside of Lin's apartment where some of officers were killed. The lab explodes destroying evidence in the case.

Min Yoongi: Man, a lot of shit went down in one day.

Taehyung: Yes. It was a very eventful day.

Min Yoongi: We also had Lin deliver his hand to my office. The next day, Jin gets kidnapped, and I got kidnapped as well after Jin was found.

Taehyung: And Mrs. Li was murdered that day too.

Min Yoongi: Right.

Taehyung: I was kidnapped the next day after Namjoon got hurt and shot.

Min Yoongi: We need to know what happened from the 20th to now. When was the last time you talked to Jungkook?

Taehyung: It was the 17th. Right after the explosion at the lab before going to the hospital.

Min Yoongi: We need to know when Jungkook was taken. Has anyone at his job reported him missing?

Taehyung: Not that I know of. I haven't checked yet. (Knocking at the door). Jimin and J-Hope, please come in.

Jimin and J-Hope: Thank you.

Min Yoongi: Do you guys have more information about Han and Lin?

Jimin: We do. I have an aunt that used to work for child services during that time when Han was child.

Min Yoongi: Go on.

Jimin: It turns out my aunt was the one who handled the case. She was told not to share any information about the boys being removed from someone's temporary custody.

Taehyung: Did your aunt find out why that information could not be shared?

Jimin: Yes. It turns out that the boys' uncle requested that the boys' records be sealed of critical information. Which was granted. The only notes that my aunt was allowed to write down was that the boys' temporary guardian was a police officer that could not continue to watch the boys due to committing suicide.

Min Yoongi: What? What about the officer's partner?

Jimin: There is nothing in the boys' files about the officer's partner.

Taehyung: That is interesting. What else did you find?

Jimin: Well, my aunt suspected that this case was a cover up.

Min Yoongi: Why?

Jimin: She believes that it has something to do with who the boys were related to.

Taehyung: What do you mean?

Jimin: She believes the boys are related to someone in a position of power in the city. During that time the person related to the boys did not want any information about his/her family to be made public for the fear that it would cost him/her their position.

Min Yoongi: What position?

Jimin: She believes during that time the position would oversee the police department.

Taehyung: The Commissioner's office position? (Min Yoongi stunned).

Jimin: Yes. This is what I have so far from my aunt. What did you guys want to talk about in private? (Taehyung looked at Min Yoongi for permission to speak and Min Yoongi gave him a nod).

Taehyung: Han and Ian Noon were in the temporary custody of Min Yoongi. (Jimin and J-Hope looked at each other and then to Min Yoongi).

Jimin: There was nothing in the files that mentioned Min Yoongi was their guardian.

Taehyung: That is because Min Yoongi's partner was the one who was watching the boys. Min Yoongi was doing an undercover assignment when his partner was beating and raping Han.

J-Hope and Jimin: What?

Min Yoongi: Yes. My partner and I responded to a domestic abuse and drug overdose call. That was when I first met Han and Ian. They were placed in my care for 6 months until I went undercover. My partner was watching them for me until I returned. But when I came back the boys were gone, and I didn't know why. I didn't  even know what happened to my partner either.

J-Hope: How did you know that Han was being raped and beaten by your partner?

Taehyung: We found out when we were tied up by Felix.

Jimin: Felix?

Taehyung: Felix is Han's other personality. Han created Felix because he could no longer take the abuse. Felix is the mastermind of all these things that have been happening with all the murders.

J-Hope: Jesus.

Min Yoongi: There is another reason why we need to speak. I'm afraid that it is more shocking and this is why we need you two to keep this between us. Namjoon knows about this situation.

Jimin: What is it?

Min Yoongi: Taehyung?

Taehyung: (Deeply sighing). I...um...I...

Min Yoongi: While we were held captive, Taehyung learned that his partner was kidnapped, tortured, raped, and killed by Felix.

Jimin and J-Hope: What?!

Min Yoongi: Felix filmed it and showed it to Taehyung. (Taehyung crying silently).

J-Hope: Oh Taehyung, I'm so sorry. (Goes to hug Taehyung). What can we do to help?

Min Yoongi: We do not know where Felix has taken Jungkook's body. The only thing that he said before dying is, "Where one feels safe". No one from the department knows the connection that I have with Han or Jungkook. Taehyung and I are privately searching for him so we can give him a proper burial.

Jimin: Jungkook? That's a beautiful strong name. We will help you guys. Where do we start looking?

Min Yoongi: We are going to a safe house that Taehyung has in the woods. That is where Jungkook was staying. If he is there, we need you to handle his body. (Jimin and J-Hope nodding). But also, there are four moles that were planted by Felix.

J-Hope: What? Moles?

Taehyung: Yes. Felix was ahead of us all this time. There must be a mole at the examiner's office, homicide, narcotics, and the Commissioner's office.

Jimin: Seriously? Who are they?

Min Yoongi: We don't know. We are going to figure this out while looking for Jungkook.

Taehyung: Let's go.
