Behind Your Back

"Where should we start?" Suho wondered.

"With Eunhyuk?"

"Lets start there," Suho agreed, "and where he worked."

"We'll find something, won't we?"

"I'm sure of it."

"Between us only, Suho," Namjoo told.

"Yea," he nodded.

"Be safe in Yeongwol," Namjoo cautioned, "and good luck."

"You too."

"Is something going on?" Lay asked.

"No, nothing," Suho lied and rubbed his thumb over his phone.

The worry for Donghae was almost as much as the concern he felt for the current mission. When working for Donghae, everything needed to be completed as instructed. A little mistake could tarnish the intended outcome and it could lead to dangerous situations. Working with Donghae required full time effort and concentration. It was just like that.

This time around though, Suho couldn't guarantee his words to perfection. And he was concerned about that. Whatever Donghae hoped to get out of sending them out like this, he didn't think he could complete the task. Suho wasn't one to stand the sight of wrongdoings. He could only hope that he'd have some self restraint while on the job.

Were Lay and Chorong thinking the same as he? Or were they determined to sit back and watch?

Kris twisted over in his sleep at the ringing of his phone and reached out for his phone. There was really no reason for Victoria to call him during his break, but she was calling. After answering his phone he was walking toward the table outside the coffee house where Victoria was waiting for him.

"Sorry for the wake up call," Victoria said and handed him a cup of coffee as if bribing him. "I debated all night before deciding to call you out."

"What's going on?" Kris asked sitting down.

"I need you to do something for me."

"What? Now?"

"Yes."

"Why? I thought we weren't supposed to touch work over break."

"Looks like break's over for most of us."

"What do you mean?"

"Donghae sent Chorong, Lay, and Suho to Yeongwol."

"Serious? Why would he do that?"

"So while he's distracted, I need you to work for me," Victoria explained and added, "quietly."

Kris slightly frowned.

"I need you dig around and find out what kind of records Eunhyuk has, check his background; everything."

"What?" the mention of it drove Kris into suspicion and disbelief. "You want me to dig around? So suddenly? What's going on?"

"Because we barely know anything about him," Victoria stated, "and I feel like Suho and Namjoo are keeping quiet for Donghae. Those three know something we don't."

His brows deepened, "What? Why would Namjoo and Suho have a reason to hide things from us? I don't think they'd..."

"Just do it, no questions," Victoria deepened her tone. "I want answers as soon as possible, so you better start today."

With just that Victoria left him to sit there baffled. What was with all this suspicion? Why did it feel like Victoria didn't trust the team?

Kris didn't believe it. Namjoo wouldn't hide things from him. He didn't want to believe that Namjoo would keep things from the team that could possibly make a difference in their efforts. There was something wrong with this picture.
