However, when he saw the gun fall from V’s hand and the man clutching his right arm, he knew that Corvus had fired the shot. In a cowardly move, he had used Jimin as a shield and aimed at V’s dominant arm.
“You would never be able to shoot me with Jimin between us. You would be too afraid of hurting him on accident. Victory was mine from the beginning.”
Corvus approached V, his gun still aimed. Jimin realized that he was trying to pick up the fallen gun, and to get ahead of him, recklessly threw himself at it. He grabbed the gun with his right hand and rolled on the ground, springing up to kneel and aiming the barrel at Corvus.
“Stop it, Jimin!” yelled V from behind, but Jimin did not take his aim off Corvus. Jimin slowly got to his feet, his gun still trained on the man. Corvus tilted his head and gave him a perplexed smile.
“Well, I didn’t expect this turn of events. Are you going to kill me with that gun?”
“I won’t. I’m going to arrest you and hand you over to the FBI.”
“Oh, I wouldn’t want that. Not at all.”
Corvus seemed unfazed despite his words, and looked around leisurely.
“Hey, Jimin. What a beautiful night view, wouldn’t you agree? Would you like to look over this ocean of lights from a higher spot? I’m extending you an exclusive invitation to the best seat in the house. All of New York’s nightscape will be yours.”
“Enough kidding around. Corvus, hurry up and put your gun d—”
Jimin clamped his mouth shut and pricked his ears. He was hearing a strange noise that he couldn’t place. And it was getting louder.
“Looks like my ride is finally here.”
Just as the sound clicked in Jimin’s head, an enormous black helicopter abruptly rose into view behind Corvus.
The helicopter made a tight turn above Corvus before descending rapidly toward the heliport. It was UH-1, informally called a Huey.
“Jimin, get over here! Run inside…!” V yelled behind him. As soon as Jimin tried to move, two shots grazed his feet as if to warn him.
“Jimin, where are you off to? It’s time for our wonderful rendezvous.”
Jimin pointed his gun at Corvus as he approached, but it was clear that it was in vain. A group of men had disembarked from the Huey and were running toward him with machine guns. They were already aiming at V and Jimin. One suspicious movement, and they would be shot. The swift movements of the men clad in camouflage made it clear that they were professionally-trained military.
“Just take the Oriental one,” said Corvus. The men ripped the gun from Jimin and cuffed his hands behind his back. Meanwhile, one of the men continued to point his gun at V, discouraging him from moving.
Once the men surrounded Jimin and began walking, V sprang into action. He charged the man who was pointing the machine gun at him, and took him down with one bare-handed blow.
He moved gracefully like a wild animal, but because of his injured right arm, he fumbled slightly snatching the man’s machine gun away from him. Corvus took advantage of V’s handicap to take another shot, which hit V in the leg.
“Agh…!”
Even V was unable to handle the excruciating pain; he let out a roar and crumpled to the ground. Fresh blood streamed from his thigh and formed a dark pool on the ground.
“V!”
Jimin struggled with all his might, but was unable to take a step toward him with the burly man holding him down. In fact, he was being taken further and further away.
