THE PURGE || BTS EDITION

Chapter 9: Lucifer's Lettuce

Kai's P.O.V.

I walked out of the musty room, leaving the boy behind. I composed myself before walking down the corridor and meeting with the others upstairs. I walked into the large recreational room, where various goons were spread out, eating, smoking, and talking amongst themselves.

I made my way to the door in the back, knocking before entering into a small office space. The man behind the desk smiled at me and motioned for me to sit down. He leaned forward, his brown eyes staring harshly into mine.

"So how's our little friend?" He asked smirking.

"He's refusing to give us information." I said annoyed. "So I pulled out Plan B." His face lit up at the mention of the plan, his tattooed arms raising to the back of his head as he reclined into his seat.

"And...? Did he take the bait?"

"Seems to me he's more than ready for me to break him out." I said chuckling. "The whole time he was whining about seeing his boys and saving them. How pathetic."

"So you think Jimin will take you to the girls?" He said, a devilish smile forming on his face.

"As long as I keep playing the "buddy card" yeah. I think he'll take me right to them without even knowing what he's doing." I said, standing up to leave.

"Good job babe." He said after me.

"No problem Ryan." I said as I exited the room.

Jungkook's P.O.V.

One second I was on the ground, my emotions overwhelming me, and the next I heard shouting and Kylie was gone. I immediately sprung to my feet, following her screams as I ran through the dark alleys. I rounded a corner and saw a figure with a girl slung over his shoulder entering an apartment building. I ran as fast as I could, but they were already inside by the time I was halfway.

I continued running to the door, harshly pulling at the handle only to find it locked. I heard Kylie screaming on the other side and voices- definitely more than one- laughing at her. My blood began to boil as I searched the building, looking for any way to enter.

The only way in was a small window that led to the basement. I laid down on my side, bringing my knee to my chest before using all my strength to smack my foot onto the glass. It shattered in one go, and I  crawled inside. My back and sides were cut by the broken shards, but I had to move quick.

I dropped down and looked around, only to find myself in complete darkness. I walked forward, falling to the ground as I tripped over something on the floor. My eyes widened when the object moved, whining out in pain.

As my eyes adjusted to the dim light coming from the now broken window, I noticed it was a girl- and she wasn't alone. Spread out throughout the basement were sleeping bags filled with young girls. All were badly beaten and bruised. They looked at me with fear in their eyes, and I returned their gaze with shock.

"Go." I whispered pointing towards the window. "Do it quietly and be careful. There's broken glass everywhere." A few slowly got up and others soon began to follow. To think this could have been Kylie... I cut my thoughts off, not wanting to focus on the future I almost caused for the girl.

I climbed to the top of the stairs and slowly opened the door to the basement, ecstatic that it was left unlocked. From the small crack I could see three guys, two were off to the side and one was leaning over Kylie, who was half undressed and starting to bruise. I felt the anger flood through my body as I reached for my gun.

Aiming at the guard closest to me, I fired and hit him straight in the chest. His body fell to the floor and caught the attention of the other guard, Mr. Douchebag was still too preoccupied with Kylie. I quickly took the other guard out with a shot to the head and put the gun away.

Opening the door, I walked quietly into the room. Sneaking up behind the last remaining man, I quickly threw my arms around his neck and flung him into the wall. He brought his hand to his head that had just harshly met the brick wall, and I used this opportunity to punch him in the jaw.

I just let loose on the guy. Everything I was crying about before was being released through this new anger as I continuously beat the man in front of me. His mouth was seeping with blood and his eye was swelling shut.

"You're never gonna fuck with anyone like this ever again." I spat before pulling out my revolver and finishing the job.

Rav's P.O.V.

Yoongi had stayed behind with Namjoon and I had gone off to keep Jin safe. I quickly caught up with the boy, waking beside him in silence as we made our way towards the coffee shop.

"I was a little bit of a douche back there huh?" He silently asked. I looked over at him and nodded. He sighed, his hand rubbing at the back of his neck awkwardly.

"My mom... She um... She's a cop. Last year, not on Purge Night obviously, she busted Ryan dealing drugs and arrested him. Pretty boy got his ass beat in jail by his many enemies." He said, pausing to smile at the thought. "He's had it out for my mom ever since. And it looks like he's found her." He said weakly, his mood changing drastically.

"We can look for her when we get to Ryan's hideout." I reassured him. "And if she's not there I'll help you find her." I said smiling lightly, knowing that if we didn't find her there alive, he'd be finding a corpse.

"Thank you." He said, grinning over in my direction. We fell quiet for another moment until we reached the coffee shop. Jin motioned for me to stay behind, but I rolled my eyes and pushed my way in front of him.

The inside appeared to be empty, but when I checked behind the counter I found quite a sight. Hoseok was sitting with his back against the wall, stuffing his face with one hand and holding a knife with the other. In his lap was an unconscious girl. To top it all off he was surrounded by bags of drugs, fortunately all of them were closed. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hoseok...? You ok?" I asked, slowly moving towards him. He looked over at Jin, and then at me, and then back to Jin, his mouth open and eyes wide.

"You didn't tell me you were friends with an alien Jin hyung!" He squeaked out excited. Jin looked at me confused.

"Hoseok what are you eating...?" I asked, realizing the situation.

"These awesome brownies. You want a bite?" He asked, extending the bag. Jin reached out, practically drooling, but I hit his hand away. I closely examined the bags of drugs and chuckled when I realized the girl had been dealing weed.

"You're eating pot brownies Hoseok." I told him, although the weed had probably been laced with something for it to have such an affect on him. He quickly spit the bite out and childishly rubbed his tongue with his hands.

"Not Lucifer's Lettuce!" He screamed out, eyes wide. Jin and I burst out laughing at the frantic boy.

The girl on Hoseok's lap began to move, slowly opening her eyes and sitting up. It wasn't until she did so that I realized I knew her.

"Nikki...?!?" I asked, shocked. I couldn't believe she was here with Hoseok. Was she still with them or had she managed to get away? I had so many questions but I couldn't ask them, not in front of the boys.

"Nikki... I don't want to alarm you, but there's an alien here for you." Hoseok calmly explained.
