A few days later after my legs were back to normal I was sitting at my desk as I had been, watching the footage from the usb drive I had connected to my laptop. The torture of creepy guy showed that what he had said at the dance was correct, he wasn't the only person gunning for me. Whoever had told him to kidnap me in the first place was the one that really wanted me, and not in the fighting way. 

I sighed as I sat back in my chair, trying not to think about that. That was the worst news I could have gotten. I had been really hoping that what he had been saying that night was just to scare me, but apparently that wasn't the case. 

"You know he could still be lying, many people still lie while under torture. It's why cops can't torture suspects, cause when you inflict pain to someone there's nothing stopping them from lying or saying whatever the cops had been wanting them to say all along." I heard Tae say from behind causing me to jump in my chair, I had been so deeply in my thoughts that I hadn't even sensed he was there. 

"How long have you been there?" I asked him as I turned to look at him to see that he was standing right behind my chair. He looked down at me before reaching for me, and kissing me on the lips, taking away all my stress and worries.

I melted into the kiss before moving in my chair so that I was kneeling on it, his arms wrapping tightly around my waist. I would have kept kissing him, but he pulled away as he brought one of his hands up and caressed my face. 

I watched him look from one of my eyes to other before he spoke. "I think you know that we think you need to slip. You've been stressed for weeks, and even you yourself have been close to slipping. We've seen the signs Babygirl." He told me as I just looked down, I couldn't tell him how much he and the others were right, because it wasn't an option with how much was on my plate. I wished I could just hand off my job to my brother, but I couldn't until I caught whoever was after me and then maybe I could, but I wasn't fully sure I could. 

My alarm on my phone went off in my pocket, as I quickly silenced it. "We'll talk about this later Tae, I gotta meet with Jin for lunch at the hospital." I told him as I had lost the ability to look up at him. 

"Jin is going to tell you the same thing I just told you Babygirl, all of them are." He told me and I sighed before turning off my laptop and grabbing my car keys. As of a couple of days ago when my legs still weren't working as good as they usually do I had woken up to the keys with a pink ribbon tied to them. They had bought me an exact replica of my last car, after junking the last one since they couldn't fix it enough to make it look all shiny and new. Their problem, not mine. 

"Tae I can't talk about this right now, I need to go." I told him and I could feel his anger only grow through the bond. 

"Well we need to talk about this at sometime, you can't just keep pushing your self care and stuff away because you have a lot of new responsibilities on your plate." He told me in an angry tone, I could tell her was trying to hold his temper back, but he couldn't anymore. 

I couldn't say anything anymore without breaking down, and I just walked out of my room. I ran down the steps, slipped on my shoes and was in my car before I even knew where I was going. 

As I pulled out onto the street after the gate opened I reached towards my glove box and took out my burner phone. I wasn't stupid Yoongi had my phone bugged, any tap I made got registered to his computer. Some things were better if they just didn't know. 

I called the one contact that this phone had, waiting for him to pick up. "Hello?" He called into the line and I focused on driving before answering him back. 

"We need to meet. I need to talk to you about something extremely important." I told him as I could hear him talking to someone in the background before he closed a door behind him. 

"Luna, why aren't you calling me from your normal phone, what's going on?" He asked me and I just sighed as I pushed down my gas petal some more. 

"Like I said we need to meet, I can't say much where I am now. Where can we meet?" I asked him as he just sighed softly, I didn't mean to stress him out but it was better I kept this from my soulmates until I knew if it was doable or not. 

"I'm guessing you don't want Ris finding out about this, so how about at that ice cream shop that has a park near the water? Not too far from where I live." He told me and I agreed, we scheduled it for fifteen minutes from now and then we both hung up. 

I scoped out the area before parking a couple of blocks away and taking off my ring before throwing it in one of the drink holders, same with my phone as I locked my car and only took the physical key with me. I was taking ever precaution. 

I walked over to the park, sitting on one of the benches as I looked out at the water. I waited for a bit before Damien sat down beside me on the bench. I calmed down a bit as I turned to him. 

"None of this can get back to my soulmates or Risa okay?" I asked him and he nodded softly, as he noticed the fact that the ring was missing from my finger. 

"What's going on Luna that you can't even tell your fiancés about?" He asked me and I sighed softly as I looked back out towards the water. 

"They're worried about the stress I have on my plate with all my extra responsibilities. Tae cornered me in a sense today and was telling me I need to slip after I only just found out from watching the footage from the creepy guy's interrogation that he was telling the truth, he isn't the only one coming after me. Whoever hired him to kidnap me, wants me as well, and he won't give a name because he's scared of this person." I told him as I took a deep breath and turned back to looking at him. His eyes were wide as he was no longer sitting comfortably but now he was on edge. "I need the organization's recourses to find out who it is and take them down, but after that? I want to resign as organization leader, is that possible?" I asked him and he looked taken aback for a bit before he nodded. 

"Its possible to hand off leader to someone. I'm surprised you haven't already done that with the wedding stress among other stress." He told me and I just looked back out to the water. 

"I need a good candidate to hand it off to though, and after that I want nothing to do with the organization. The old leader was  just my grandmother, nothing more and nothing less." I told him and he nodded once more. 

"I will take on that position since you don't want it. Are you going to tell your fiancés this?" He asked me and I nodded softly as I looked back over to him. 

"I just needed to know that it was possible and since I know now I can tell them. I'll probably get yelled at for going off the radar, but I don't care. They're right, I can't keep living with all this stress on my plate all the time." I told him and he agreed and I got up before giving my brother a hug. 

"Thank you for this by the way, I know I'm asking a lot of you." I told him and he just shook his head. 

"I asked for this Luna, so no thanks needed. Just I hope you aren't in too much trouble with your fiancés, they seem to get pretty intense when they're angry with you." He told me and I knew I would be paying for all of this later, but I had to do what I needed to do. 

"In the end they'll understand why so they shouldn't be too hard on me. Its not like I'll need to come and crash on your couch for a few days, they have their own ways of getting even with me." I told him as we pulled apart from each other. 

"Just know the couch is there if you need it, so is the guest room." He told me and I nodded a bit before making my way back to my car. But as I did a black van pulled up beside me, and I was completely unarmed before a needle was stuck in my arm before my vision went and I felt myself being placed in the van gently before I fully passed out.
