2 weeks had passed by but Vernon's call never came. Right now, Vernon is standing by Joshua's office door while Joshua is pacing back and forth in his dimly lit office, his face twisted in a snarl as he slams his fist onto the desk, making the whiskey glasses rattle. "Where the hell is he?! I've got every damn contact in the underworld scouring the globe, and still, nothing! It's like he vanished into thin air!" He spins around to glare at Vernon. "You're telling me you can't find one little guy in a sea of people? And where's the private jet I asked for?"
"Josh, it's Japan. It's practically impossible to find him there, we can't even track his phone." Vernon says, sneakily trying to brush off about the private jet. Joshua's eyes widened in realization at the mention of tracking. "That locket I gave him, yes, it-it has a tracker on it! How could I forget?"
"You had a tracker on him? You never told me, we could've found him by day one! If he still has the locket on him, we can find him soon. I'll get to work." Vernon leaves the room, the door closing behind him with a loud thud.

Dokyeom has been staying in Shibuya for the past two weeks, he had decided to rent a small apartment instead of wasting thousands of dollars in Hotel rooms per night. And he'd thought since Shibuya is a crowded place, it would be difficult for Joshua to find him.
He had been ordering food for most of his meals, barely knowing how to make anything except ramen and boiled eggs.
He was sitting on his bed with a small table in front of him, eating his ordered udon noodles as usual. He had bought a new sim card the second day of his Japan stay.
Half of the money he bought had been used and he needed to find a job soon so his phone was propped up on a food container, scrolling through the list of jobs, most of them requiring him to speak Japanese.
Dokyeom sighs in annoyance, his food finished without even him being able to enjoy it with the constant stress and tension, he throws the plastic container into the trash bin and sits back on the bed.
He has a pretty nice view of Shibuya from his window, but honestly he barely went out, too scared that Joshua's men are probably looking for him out there. Dokyeom pouts saddened at where his own decisions had taken him, he made a stupid drunk decision of running away and there was no going back now.
"I should go out tonight..." He mumbles to himself, looking out at the bright afternoon sky from his window.
Soon, it was 7 pm and Dokyeom gets ready in his baggy blue jeans and a graphic tshirt. Nightlife was pretty awesome in Shibuya, but most importantly it was crowded, perfect for him to walk around without worrying too much about being found.
Dokyeom goes around and clicks pictures of the famous Shibuya crossing, amazed by the unique shops and neon-lit buildings. He had always wanted to travel in famous places like these, but obviously Joshua never even let him leave the house most of the time.
Dokyeom smiles happily for the first time in a while but deep inside he knows that his smile wasn't for long.

Vernon bursts into the room in a hurry. "We found him, he's in Shibuya!"
Joshua looks up at Vernon, a spark of excitement igniting in his gaze. "Shibuya, huh? That's my boy, always drawn to the bright lights and busy streets. Alright, let's roll out, I've got a flight to catch," He pushes back from the desk, standing up with a fluid motion. "Get the jet fueled and ready, I want to be wheels up in thirty. And Vernon?" Joshua turns to him, a cold glint in his eye. "Make sure our people on the ground are ready to move fast. I don't want any slip-ups this time around. We're bringing Dokyeom home, and we're doing it my way."
Vernon leaves to arrange everything and Joshua enters his room to pack. His phone buzzes twice with a text.

"Is this him?"
A few of his men stalking Dokyeom in Japan had sent a text with a picture to Joshua.
Joshua smirks. "Yeah, that's him, all right. Get me a team ready, I'll be landing there soon. I want him back in my bed by tonight, or there'll be hell to pay. And make sure those idiots don't spook him, I want him brought in quietly. Don't wanna give him a chance to rabid on me again."
