Donghae's Unit

~_____~

"Was that necessary!? Was that really necessary!?" Donghae's head, Lee Suk Jin, tossed his papers in front of him. They scattered across the floor, some landing on the edge of his oakwood desk, shine and new.

Donghae stood ahead of him with his head slightly hung down, hands clasped in front of him.

"You went too far this time! Even interrupting an interrogation!"

"But sir!" Donghae's head shot up. "This ring leader heads both drug trafficking and human trafficking! What the real problem here is that there are little girls in this ring being forced into prostitution! I need to get into human trafficking to track him down!"

"No! You were handed one job! One job!"

Donghae gritted his teeth. "You have to permit me this new lead! Without it, we won't be able to nail this ring leader down! Unless we get to him, there is no chance of ending this drug trafficking!"

"You went off line, Lee Donghae!" his boss raised his voice. "Don't you forget your mistake. You think I don't know what you're after?" his eyebrows shot up. "You think I've forgotten about Eunhyuk? You think I can't read the intentions you have behind your plans? You better plan it out carefully, Donghae. Your two favorite employees are going to be hanging on the line if you mess up, even just a little; they're going to be hanging on the lines."

Lee Suk Jin watched Donghae grit his jaw unsatisfied with how things were turning out.

"Sir," Donghae pleaded politely, uniformly, as an employee. "I can do this. Let me change over to human trafficking. I will nail both of these crimes down successfully. I know my duty, sir. I won't go as far as to danger both my employees."

Lee Suk Jin narrowed his eyes at Donghae.

"I'll only allow it if you accept the regulations I give you."

Donghae narrowed his eyes as well. "Regulations?"

"You are to work as a team. The three of you and your soldiers won't be able to do this yourselves. It's impossible to rely on brain alone," Lee Suk Jin clarified, his wide face twitching very slightly, "I'm having a SWAT team leader called in. She's going to be bringing in a few helpers to aid you in the process."

"Sir," Donghae argued. "You think I'm not capable of doing this alone? Suho can analyze any situation and Namjoo can lead our soldiers. The three of us and our department are enough for this."

Lee Suk Jin cut him off, "The more brains the merrier. You cannot do this alone. I expect you all to work together. You're dismissed."

"I'm warning you not to try anything funny," Namjoo warned when she unlocked her car. "I'm a black belt and I know my business."

Tao glanced at her with what looked like a glare.

"Are you glaring at me?" Namjoo questioned with attitude.

Tao rolled his eyes, "Do you think I'm interested in attacking you or something?"

Namjoo rolled her eyes back in retaliation.

"Back or front?"

"I don't care. Just get in." Namjoo muttered.

Tao impulsively sat in the passenger's seat and Namjoo sent him a small frown before starting her car.

"I heard Donghae made a promise to you," Namjoo began, "but don't take it so easy. He's not as simple as he seems."

"Are you contradicting me?"

"Warning." Namjoo corrected before driving off onto the highway. "I heard you're pretty good in martial arts."
