"Scorpion, this is ghost"

Taehyung heard Jimin use their code names instead of their assigned names as he spoke in the covert listening device and the hair on his arms stood on end, something was wrong

"Ghost this is scorpion, report back immediately" he replied, eyes not leaving his target

"Code red." Spoke Jimin as his motorbike read 220km/hrs "the mission was a success until a masked man barged in the room, I managed to immobilize him but before I questioned him he took his own life, and now" he said as he looked behind him "I'm being followed by whom I assume is his subordinate"

"Code Green. My target has been immobile himself for a while now" Taehyung observed as Hoseok meditated "I'm coming for backup in five" he slicked his hair back then wore his helmet "let's Hansel/Gretel these motherfuckers"

Jimin smirked "meet me to the north west of the hotel"

Hansel and Gretel is a nickname for Taehyung and Jimin's favorite maneuver whenever the enemy couldn't see their faces and thus couldn't tell them apart. Engines roar as the two brothers work in outstanding synch while taking turns in throwing powerful blows at the enemy in a seamless coordination that creates the illusion of a one single relentless pursuer instead of two. And being in similar vehicles made it all easier for them, for they could now see how confused the chaser was after losing sight of Jimin in the traffic ahead of him, but then suddenly, what he believes to be Jimin appears now behind him –whom we know is Taehyung.

However, the element of surprise unfortunately does not last long, especially when used against a professionally trained individual –such as their current enemy, Jimin deemed- so at the chance of seeing a large truck passing by, and after sharing a knowing nod, the brothers part ways as Jimin used the truck for the perfect camouflage to take a turn left while Taehyung continued distracting the chaser from the right and slowly leading him to where he wants him to be.

The wind howled in Taehyung's ears as he leaned into each turn, the thrill of the chase pushing adrenaline through his veins as he skillfully weaved through traffic with calculated ease and lead the man into a secluded industrial zone. Going at a significantly higher speed than his enemy, Taehyung managed to swiftly take a U turn in the blink of an eye and before his enemy could grasp what happened, Taehyung shot him in the arm making him lose balance and fall off his motorbike.

Oh and if you happened to wonder why is Taehyung nicknamed scorpion, it's because he assassinates using poisons that he himself prepares.

The brown haired boy got off his bike, pointed his gun at his enemy –that was now surprisingly on his feet despite the injuries he must be suffering from upon falling at such speed- then shifted his weight in one leg and stood there observing.

"Aren't you asking any questions like your friend did?" the man had a deep yet a playful voice, Taehyung hated condescending people "he made my man kill himself, you're no fun like him" he chuckled

Wait

Wait a second... he knows there are two of us? Did he just notice it? Or did he willingly fall in the maneuver because he had other plans?

Is Jimin still being followed now? Is he safe?

Thousands of questions rushed into Taehyung's brain and all he could think of now is killing this man and ensuring his brother's safety, he doesn't care about asking any stupid questions, if he got lucky enough and Jimin was safe and sound and scolded him for wasting this valuable source of information, he promises to take that scolding with a smiling face just... just be safe Jimin.

"Careless now, are we" his voice snatched Taehyung out of his daze as he barely dodged the punch he threw at him with minimum damage thanks to the helmet he was still wearing –though it cost him the gun in his hand- , for a man as large as he is, he was very lean and fast making it difficult even for Taehyung –who was skilled at short distance combat- to abandon defense and start attacking.

Taehyung noticed the difference in height between them and decided to play on it to his advantage, and so he bent his knees and shortened himself even further before landing a forceful blow at the man's stomach that had him move back a few inches.

"Damn" the man took his helmet off as he spat blood "I gotta say I was fooled by your thin physic, didn't think you'd be this feisty" he smirked and Taehyung couldn't help but have this weird sense of déjà vu, for he had definitely seen that lip piercing somewhere else.

"But that makes our little game even more enjoyable, hm?" he finished and just as he was about to attack Taehyung again, he lost all strength in his knees and fell face first on the ground, his entire body all too motionless.

Taehyung smirked as he took a glance at his clock and counted: three, two, one.

His poison is activated.

"Finally some peace and quiet," he said as he flipped the man on his back using nothing but his foot then crouched down, the man's breath fogging the glasses on Taehyung's helmet "You talk so much I would've genuinely surrendered just so you can shut the hell up"

"F-face..." heaved the man since his condition barely allowed him to move his mouth or any of his limbs, but if eyes could kill, Taehyung would be dead by now "show... m-me your face..."

The brown haired man stood up and calmly retrieved his gun from the ground and dusted it "my face?" he giggled "Why not ask for an autograph too".

"I w-will make you... p-pay" the man's words were shaky for the poison was penetrating all his limbs, but his harsh tone and his determined black orbs sent an undeniable shiver down Taehyung's spine.

"Why not worry about the tetrodotoxin that's in your system before throwing embarrassing threats" he threw one leg elegantly over his motorbike and settled himself on top of it "tho I did add my personal touch to it so, if you do survive, come find me so I can turn you into my new lab rat" he started his loud Yamaha R6 and very purposefully covered the man on the ground with dirt, then drove away.
