The day went by without Taehyung's knowledge, he sighed for the nth time looking at all the clothes laid on the bed for hours yet no decision was out. The sun seemed to be settling down back in its corner when Jimin barged in hoping to see his dearest bestie dressed up ready for the little ally party.

But to his surprise, the blond haired was standing shirtless staring at particularly nothing, lost in thoughts.

"You've gotta be kidding me! You jerk, what have you been doing for the last 4 hours? Staring and counting your shits? "

"Aye aye, calm down. What do you mean hours? I've been here just for the past- past- " Taehyung glances over at the clock, eyes widening at it with a series of curses leaving his lips.

"Help me, Jimin! "

The mint haired glared at the latter, walking away towards the huge walk-in closet and grabbed something eye-catching and threw it on Tae's face. "Be quick! We'll be leaving in half an hour. "

Within a few minutes the Vampire was out ready. He steps into the room beside him where both Yoonmin were waiting.

“I'm ready.”

“Taehyung, there's something you must know.” Yoongi uttered, eyes stuck on the screen. The room the three were in was filled with CCTV screens, out of one which had all the attention was a room with Daejun.

Taehyung settled down, his curious mind was dying for answers. His eyes glanced, worriedly at the sleeping Daejun who went into deep sleep after his treatment. The boy was quite young from what they could see which made the three pity his condition.

“From what we noticed throughout the other deaths, Daejun’s case is a bit different.”

“What do you mean?”

“The others were burnt by separating the body part as you might know from the ashes we found but Daejun is different. The guy who tried to kill him had slashed multiple times with a knife but with these wounds it seems, separating the body wasn't quite the intention.”

“So was the murderer different this time?” Jimin chided in. “But the weapon used was made of silver, that's for sure.”

“It must be a newbie trying to kill for the first time. From the scene, I noticed Daejun had dragged himself from the main location. Maybe the guy saw me coming and ran away?”

“But wouldn't it be a good thing to use Endless Flame?”

Too many ifs and questions again, the leader felt more lost. The answers were more like a mirage in the desert, the more he got closer to the water, the more harsher reality he faced. The frustration has been eating him alive and now he has to even meet Jeongguk.

The flight to America had to be postponed since the reports by Hoseok deciphering were out. And of course the great Ally Jeon Jeongguk had decided for a small party for the new join alliance.

Jimin and Yoongi walked out of the car first, guarding Taehyung on their way. Handing over the keys to the security guard, Yoongi looked around for their pick up. Out of nowhere, came a big buffed human standing right in front them.

"Hello this is Namjoon. Mr. Jeon asked me to guide you. "

"Finally meeting the second in command. A huge honor, Namjoon. " Taehyung smiled, his palm raised forward for a shake, the latter respectfully bowing while shaking his hands. "The honor's all mine. Let me guide you. "

"Sure. Thank you. " Tae thanked the other, introducing his men on the way. "This is Jimin and Yoongi. " The said males passed small smiles and nods at Namjoon who had his dimples dancing in the middle of his cheeks.
