"I need you to keep de-coding that text for me."

We were in his yellow car, speeding towards Rika's apartment. The determination in Seven's eyes almost clouded my ability to read his energy.

"Right," I looked at my notebook and noticed the last sentence had multiple capital letters and commas. "I think it's a list of some sort... of important things."

"Important things? Maybe they're names. Read them closer." He swerved through the traffic skillfully, but it moved my body around like a rag doll.

"Is that.. my name?" I tried to look closer, but the car shaking was making it hard to read clearly. "Seven, can you slow down a bit? I can't.." I paused for a moment.

My name.. the capital letters, commas.. it has to be..!

"You can't--?"

"It's a list of the RFA members! I de-coded the last sentence!" I raised the notebook in the air and then hugged it close to my chest, pleased with my skills. "But there's one name that doesn't fit."

"So it's a list.. maybe it's in a specific order for a reason." He pondered for a moment. "It's an objective list. I think.. the hacker is going to kill everyone in that order. Can you read the order to me?"

"It's '(Y/n), Yoosung, Zen, Jaehee, Jumin, Saeyoung' and it says 'we already have V.'" I stared at the 6th name. "Who's Saeyoung? And your name isn't on the list."

"This is bad," he gripped the steeringwheel, his white knuckles showing through the skin on his fingers. "That's.. my name. He knows my name."

His name? I thought it was Luciel..

I stared at him for a second. "Your name is.. Saeyoung?"

"That's..complicated. V has to be tied into this somehow. This can't be.." Suddenly, a car pulled out in front of us and the traffic light turned red. "Damnit!!" He slammed on the breaks and forcefully shoved his palm on the steeringwheel.

"Do you think V and Rika would target the organization they created?" I was so in shock I felt the need to make myself believe otherwise.

"It has to be." The light was still red and he leaned his head against the steeringwheel in defeat. "We need to get to that apartment."

A firetruck flew by us, blaring it's siren and blinding us with it's flashing lights. It caught me off guard and my body involuntarily leaped closer to Seven. The light turned green and Seven began speeding more than he already had been.

I looked at the picture on my phone again and noticed something I hadn't before. It was more text in the bottom right corner. It was extremely small and hard to see, but this time the letters weren't out of order.

"Section B, my pretty." I muttered as I read the words aloud.

"What?" Seven asked.

"Section B..."

'They can't save you now, can they, my pretty?'

"The multi-tool guy! It makes so much sense--" My sentence was abruptly stopped as my body flew forward into Seven's arm. He had slammed on his breaks and threw his arm in front of me to make sure I didn't hit the dash.

"I'm not sure what that means, but.. look." He pointed to a burning building a block ahead of where the car was pulled over. "That's Rika's apartment. We're too late."

"No, no, no! We got so close!" I whined. "What if the other members are in danger? We need to get them away as soon as possible!"

"I'm already on that." I noticed he had opened the RFA chat.
