Knife to meet you

"Hey, did you hear th-" With a quick slash, guttural gargling filled the air. 

The woman's body dropped to the ground squirming. Her hands flew to her neck to try and stop the bleeding, but there was nothing she could do. The knife sliced one of her carotid arteries. Warm blood spurted between her fingertips and coated her shirt. 

While her partner watched in shock, Changbin grabbed him by his hair, forced his head up, and jerked the knife against his neck. The man's eyes widened as he dropped to his knees. He desperately pinched at the skin trying to close the gaping wound, but to no avail. 

Changbin stood over them and watched them bleed out. The two withered and clawed along the ground like a pair of worms. Changbin's lips pushed out in a slight pout while he waited for them to die. The man crawled over to Changbin and his hand wrapped around Changbin's ankle. 

With a swift kick, Changbin's foot shot forward and slammed into the man's face. With a grunt, the man fell back and hit the ground. His eyes squeezed shut in pain. Not only couldn't he breathe properly, but now his face throbbed. 

"Next time, don't get your blood all over me," Changbin spat quietly. "I don't appreciate you staining my new boots." He walked closer to the man and wiped the front of his boot along the man's shirt. A red stain appeared as he pulled his foot away. 

With half-opened eyes, the man looked up at Changbin weakly. Changbin smiled and sent him a small wave. "Sleep tight." Without another word, he slammed his foot into the side of the man's head. A sickening crunch filled the air. The force of his boot caused the man's neck to snap. 

The woman was already dead and after the kick, the man's body fell limp. Changbin sighed and reached up to his ear piece. He pressed a button on the side of it. "Alright, that's two down, who's next?" 

Stretched across the five mile location of the woods and back at the warehouse, everyone heard Changbin's voice in their ears. Hyunjin was the first one to respond. "Did you really have to slit his throat and then break his neck?" 

"If he would have died faster, I wouldn't have had to waste my energy. Where am I going next?" 

"You're pretty far away from the nearest group," Han's voice came through. "Just keep going straight until we say otherwise. Seungmin and I.N, if you turn left and keep going, you're nearing the next pair. They're about a couple thousand feet away from you." 

Seungmin pressed his ear piece, "roger that."

He spun to the left and I.N followed. The two tried to be quiet as they meandered through the forest brush, but it was nearly impossible. Twigs snapped and the ground crunched. Overgrown tree roots didn't help make the trek any easier. 

"I wish we could have ridden ATVs or something," I.N mumbled. 

"You can say that again." 

The two continued moving until they heard two female voices. 

"This is bullshit! We're not going to find his body. I don't understand why we couldn't contact the Chicago PD and make them do this shit. This isn't our area of expertise. We're secret service agents, so since when do we go on undercover secret missions? I miss the last president." 

 "I only jumped on board because I wanted that five-thousand dollar bonus." 

"And you don't think this is strange? You got a choice? I was told I had to do this." 

"We were hand-picked by Willie himself. We're not supposed to question him. Everything is chaotic right now because the director is dead. Give it some time to sort itself out. I think they said the new director was going to be announced on Friday." 

"This is horse-shit, I should quit right now and resign."

Seungmin and I.N shared a look. I.N shrugged and took another step forward. Seungmin began to follow him. As the two moved further, the voices became louder and louder. Soon the casual conversation turned into a full-blown argument.

Seungmin and I.N stepped up behind a tree. They each peered around the edges to glance at the women. The brunette was taller than the blonde, but that didn't stop the blonde from going off. Seungmin was only half paying attention. He was more focused on how much closer the two could get before things went south. 

He moved back around the tree behind I.N. He placed a hand on I.N's shoulder and I.N jumped. His foot hit a twig, but because of the bickering, the two girls didn't hear it. Seungmin pointed to the blonde and then to himself. His finger then went from I.N to the brunette and I.N nodded. 

On tiptoes, the two crept forward and lunged. The girls were caught off guard. One screamed while the other began to curse. Knives went up to slit their necks. Within seconds, blood dotted the forest floor. The brunette died rather quickly, but the blonde put up a fight. 

Digging her fingers into the open wound, she frantically tried to pinch the elastic fibers of her windpipe shut. Seungmin couldn't help, but let out a sadistic chuckle. "Well, well, well," he spoke. "Not so mouthy anymore, are you?" 

The woman's boot lunged forward and slammed into Seungmin's groin. With a pale face, he instantly dropped to his knees. I.N couldn't help it, he let out a laugh and then quickly tried to cover it. The woman might have been dying, but it didn't stop a smug look from appearing on her face. 

"You stupid fucking bitch," Seungmin squeaked. 

His hands cupped around his lower half protectively. He sucked in a sharp breath, grabbed the knife, and jutted forward. The knife hit the woman's neck and sliced through like butter. Once it hit the hilt, Seungmin yanked it back out. A croak escaped the woman's lips before she slumped over dead.

Seungmin's teeth gritted together as his body hit the ground again. Dirt smeared along his skin. His forehead pressed into the cool Earth. "Fuck, that shit hurts."

"I suppose that's called karma," I.N teased. 

"Shut the fuck up!" 

Back at the warehouse, Hyunjin and Han were in tears from laughter. They watched the whole thing unfold on the screen and couldn't stop laughing. Hyunjin kept impersonating Seungmin's face when he was kicked and fell over. Han's hands clapped together in joy. 

The pair took their eyes off the cameras for a few seconds and it was plenty of time for the remaining secret service members to merge together; headed in the same direction Changbin was walking towards them.
