The Rules: Book Five

Chapter 14

Kija smirked as he hung up after talking to Jang. He was excited that plans were starting to come together after what felt like forever with no real movement. "Slow and steady," he murmured as he headed into a meeting with Jackson's group.

Iceland.

The sun had just set as their plane landed in Iceland. Twilight was streaming down on them as the plane finally came to a stop at the end of a quiet runway.

"Baby. We're here." Yoongi nuzzled in her ear, watching her start to wake up.

"Hi," she said, giving him a sleepy smile. They both started to move and stretch as the engines powered down.

"Welcome to Iceland!" They heard Quon call out as everyone stood up and stretched. By now, they all had their own routines when they flew to fight jetlag. But it was still hard on them.

"How do you guys feel?" Pak smiled as he came back to help them gather bags.

"Stiff but good. How much further do we have to go?" She peeked out the window of the plane and saw nothing. No lights from a city, just a few runway lights blinking in the distance.

"Ten-fifteen minutes. We're at a private airport in the north." Pak smiled as they all watched her eyes get big, "We are?"

"We are." Yoongi pulled her up and kissed her ear again. It's really hard to be good," he whispered as she felt goosebumps flush throughout her body. "Let's go get you in the Jeep, and I'll help the guys with the bags."

He took her hand and walked her down the aisle of the plane, hearing her gasp as soon as they stepped out the door. Yoongi smiled and kissed her hand as she stared at the sky. There, across the dark sky, were the vibrant hues of the northern lights, twinkling in blues and greens.

"I heard Jimin lit up the oceans for you at your wedding. I give you the sky." Tears came to her eyes as she met his gaze. They forgot Pak, and the guys were behind them for a moment before Yoon winked at her, "Come on. Let's go."

Very Early Morning Bangkok.

Harry's tour had resumed after the long break in Australia. Although the break was needed and appreciated, everyone was ready to get back to work. Wendy and Riggs had been crashed out in the hotel room for a couple of hours when she heard her phone ring.

"It's too early. Tell them we're closed." Riggs moaned as Wendy searched the nightstand with one hand in the dark for her phone. They heard the phone get pushed off the table and drop to the floor with a thud as it kept ringing.

"OH, my goddddd." She sleepily rolled out of bed, found the glowing phone on the floor, and finally answered. "Hello?" she said quietly.

"Hi. This is Sargent McGillis from the New York Police Department 10th Precinct. I'm looking for a Wendy?"

"Speaking," Riggs heard her say more clearly. He flipped on the light and sat up. They both blinked as the sudden brightness of the light filled the room. He squinted and saw her standing next to the bed.

"Hi, Wendy. We got a call from a neighbor of yours. I'm sorry to report your apartment has been broken into. Are you in the area?"

"What? Um, no. I'm out of the country right now. My apartment?" She looked at Riggs, shocked, as he climbed out of bed and walked around to her. "My apartment was broken into." She mouthed.

"Fuck." He sighed.

"We need you to return as soon as possible so you can complete a report..." Wendy grabbed a pen and started writing down the details the sergeant was giving her.
