Camp Exodus

005 - Trailed - 2

Quickly, the two managed to throw themselves down on the ground beside the stairwell in front of what was formerly their building. There was no way they would be able to return there now. As the armed officers dragged the tall youths out from their building, both pairs made eye contact, and although there was a flare in the blonde's eyes, he seemed to have conceeded defeat.

It was the younger brunette that the peach haired young man found most haunting. Despite being treated roughly, he remained platonic, his eyes empty and dark, as though he was having an out of body experience. Yet...when he matched eyes with the peach haired youth crouched beside the stairwell, the elder felt himself being submerged in the darkness of his eyes.

"Let's go. Let's go. I'm sure that they've all left. We need to get our stuff and get the hell out of here before they come back for investigation." He was tugged from his trance long after the officers and the tall youths they had betrayed left the building by his older colleague, who looked concerned when he leaned his head onto his shoulder, seemingly trying to stifle his emotion.

"Yah, did you hear me? Let's go. Come on." The elder pulled him onto his feet and they made their way back into the building, careful not to catch the remaining officers' attention.

Walking with light footsteps, the two managed to creep up the stairs to the study where they gathered the documents on all the girls that they were going to transfer to their partners in order for this major human trafficking plot for a Malaysian hosting company to go through well.

Taking a duffel full of documents each, the two slipped out of the bathroom window and landed on the large rubbish disposal that sat underneath it, freezing when it creaked under their combined weight. They just barely managed to hide on the side facing the alley wall before an officer peeked over to see what the noise was.

Once he left, the two looked at each other and the peach haired youth bit down hard on his lip. He had the sudden urge to break down. They had almost been captured by the police.

"No, no, no. Not yet. I know it's hard. I know you feel bad but we have to finish what we started. We made a deal, alright?" The elder of the pair stated, brisk as ever. Nodding, the peach haired man suddenly placed a hand on both of his partner's cheeks, tugging at the flesh.

"Don't try to act manly. I'm the manly one." The elder snorted again and rose, glad his friend had recovered quickly. With uncanny luck, the garbage disposal service came round, giving the two the opportunity to hop onto  the back after the bin men had finished collecting their building's rubbish. Crinkling his nose in disgust, the elder quickly sent their contact a message, alerting him to the fact that they were on their way.

Offending as it was to smell so foul when they made their way down the street to the mutual park they had agreed to meet in, the two young men were fairly content with the way things had turned out.

After several hours of travelling, they were finally going to see their hard work produce something of profit, although the peach haired youth still held a niggling terror in his mind. It was the eyes of that guy, the tall one who had allowed himself to be caught and separated from his friend so easily. It was as though he had been cursed when they made eye contact.

Something really bad was coming their way.

As they neared the two clean cut men, they could see that the smaller of the two was on the phone.

"...The boat is docking at Mukho in Donghae City from noon onwards. Since you're in South Chungcheong, it will take you a couple of hours to get there by truck."
