Jisung reaches the train station nearest N/S. He walks towards the elevator, pressing the button for the second floor. He waits for the doors to slide shut completely before he flicks his wrist, and he disappears. 

When he appears again, he finds himself in the middle of their living room, but... It's dark, unusually so because where the hell is Changbin? Or Chan? Had they gone to sleep early? Did they go out?

They are nowhere to be found, Jisung realizes as he checks both of their rooms. 

"Hey, Seungminnie, do you know where-" Jisung barges into Seungmin's room, but he stops in his tracks when he sees that the boy's bed is empty. 

Where had they all gone?  

His phone vibrates in his pocket, and it's now that he notices the lack of layers (his jacket that he unconsciously left with Hyunjin) and warmth on himself.

Jisung brings his phone to his ear, having pressed the green button of the oncoming call from Seungmin.

"Where are you guys?" He says at the same time Seungmin's voice bursts through the phone, "JOne, come to HQ immediately."

"Wh- huh? I- I mean-" Jisung, very obviously caught off guard, stammers, but he composes himself nonetheless. If they're all at HQ, then something bad must've happened. "-yes, I'll be there, StarKim."

The line cuts, and without a second's hesitation, Jisung flicks his wrist, and he's gone.

"Seungminnie," Changbin calls, handing the boy a small kit, "Wear the protective glasses before you go in there. Or, if you feel better wearing the contacts, that works too."

Seungmin takes the kit, tilting his head in question, "Why? What can the two do?"

Changbin gestures vaguely, "Hwang can destruct your mind," He hesitantly looks behind Seungmin where one of their intern sits, shaking violently with Chan at her side, "He needs to be able to look directly into your eyes for it to work,"

If Changbin remembers correctly, that intern goes by the name Rin. She and her friend, Yeonah, were saved by JOne just weeks ago when Yeonah had attepmted suicide. It took some convincing, but Rin managed to bring Yeonah to enroll in the agency.

Rin tried to talk to Hwang with Chan, but she's just a teen. Hwang immediately stared her down and before they knew it, she was sobbing on her knees. Chan took her out of there immediately. 

Seungmin nods, humming thoughtfully, "And Puppet Master?"

"Don't worry about him. He needs to see you for his powers to work, but he's contained in a one-way glass capsule. You're good,"

So Seungmin puts the contacts on, and he enters the glass room, Changbin watching on the other side, soon joined by Chan.

The moment he steps inside, Hwang Hyunjin is immediately glaring at him. Seungmin takes note of the way his eyes glow subtly. Maybe that's how his powers work.

"Mind manipulation, huh?" He mumbles,  more to himself than anyone. "Look, if you just answer honestly we can easily get this over with,"

Hyunjin falters, seeing how nothing was affecting Seungmin. He growls, a frown evident on his face.

"Why do you have this jacket with you?" Seungmin asks, holding up Jisung's jacket in his hand."Who were you with, and what did you do with them?"

Hyunjin keeps his mouth sealed. Just a few feet away from Hyunjin's capsule sits another, this time containing one who everyone refers to as Puppet Master.
