TAEHYUNG'S POV
"Shit!" Namjoon said and he zoomed right past 4 police cars and an ambulance. 3 of them turned around and started chasing us. "Shit shit shit we gotta lose them." He said as he swiftly turned a corner and pushed the pedal harder. The cops weren't far behind us, it was gonna take one bumpy ride to get rid of them.
      I didn't say a word. Nobody would listen to me right now anyway. They were all so distracted and anxious because we were in the middle of a chase. I would wait till later to say what I needed to say. I glanced at Jin. He was still bleeding and unconscious. I ripped a piece of my shirt of and wrapped it around his head. She must've hit him really hard. I hoped he would be okay, but he was knocked out good. He would probably wake up after Nicole did.
      "TURN HERE!" Yoongi yelled at the driver. We were going in all different directions to get rid of the police, but none of them were the right way to our location. By the time we reached the city area, which wasn't that far from the neighborhood, we had only lost 1 cop. Luckily we were now in downtown, it was about to get much harder for them to keep up with us.
      We quickly drove past all the other cars in the light traffic. People honked at us, but we payed no attention to them. Namjoon drove in circles around buildings and turned sharp corners. Eventually, nobody was following us anymore.
      "Damn! That was harder than I thought it would be." Namjoon said. He laughed. "Let's get out of here."
      After carefully making our way around the city and making sure that absolutely no one was following us, we started driving back home. I turned and looked at Nicole, who was still unconscious.
      "So, what are we gonna do with her? She can't help the police anymore, but she can't really help us either." J-Hope said.
      "She's still leverage, so we can't kill her. I guess we'll just have to keep her alive until after this mission with Laura's father." Namjoon said.
      "What's going to happen to her after?" Yoongi asked.
      "We can't just let her go, she'll have enough information to get us all arrested. Same thing with Laura... We'll either have to kill them or keep them." Namjoon said.
      I didn't feel comfortable in this conversation, but I spoke anyway. "Laura might be useful to us after all of this. She'll have some good skills when it's all over, we should keep her so she can continue to work with us."
      "Well, by the time this mission ends, we might have..." Namjoon was hesitant to continue. "We might have created some sort of relationship with Laura, sort of like we did with Emily. If we kill Nicole, whatever we built with her would just go down the drain. We can't kill her now, and we might not be able to kill her later... We can't let her go, so our only option would be to keep her too."
      "Well, we don't know what's going to happen in the end, but if that's the case, we can't just have her around wasting space and food. If we have a chance of keeping her, we might as well let her join lessons with Laura so she can be useful later on." J-Hope suggested.
      "I agree, actually. We got them into this mess, our options are really limited. Both Laura and Nicole should continue to learn together. Maybe by the time this ends we'll have created some sort of relationship with both of them, maybe it won't be so bad..." I said.
      "I don't know how Emily is going to react to that, though. We all know how much she hates her family." Yoongi said.
      "But maybe that will have changed by the end of this." Namjoon said.
      "There's a lot of 'maybes' in this whole thing. We're just going to have to wait and see what happens." I said.

NICOLE'S POV
      I began to wake up. I felt my senses coming back to me. Before I opened my eyes, I noticed it felt like I was moving. I was in something that was moving. I was still in the van. My eyes slowly fluttered open and I glanced around. I didn't move, however, I didn't want anyone to know I was awake. Maybe they didn't hold the cloth to my mouth for enough time, but I wasn't unconscious for as long as I thought I would be. I listened the best I could to what they were saying. They didn't really care for being quiet, so it wasn't that difficult to eavesdrop.
      "You didn't have to kill her parents!" I heard Taehyung yell.
      "I didn't really have a choice! They would have told the police everything! What's the point of kidnapping Nicole if we just got more wittnesses?!" I heard another man yell. It was probably the guy who murdered my mom and dad.
      "You don't know what it's like! You didn't lose your parents! Even less watch them die in front of you! I know what that's like. Nicole doesn't deserve this." V said. He sounded angry.
      "Why do you care so much all of the sudden? You kill people all the time! You've been doing this for the past 6 years of your life! You've murdered tons of people with families who probably suffered so much because of you, and you didn't give a shit. What changed?" Another man said.
      "I only kill when it's necessary! I kill the people who we are paid to get rid of. There was nothing to gain from shooting Nicole's parents! Actually, there was more to lose. Now it's going to be a million times more difficult to deal with her since she'll hate us that much more."
      "DON'T YOU REALIZE IT WAS NECESSARY!? If you have a problem with this business, we have no problem with you leaving. Laura could just fill you in."
     Everything went silent. I couldn't understand why Taehyung was so angry about this. I thought he was on their side. "I know what that's like." He probably lost his family a similar way... But I couldn't care less. I started silently crying when the recent past events came into my mind again. They replayed over and over, it's all I could think of. It should've been me, I should've died. It should've been me....
      I wondered what they were going to do with me. I was scared. Would I ever go back home?
      Home.
      Home is where you family is. It's where you friends are. My parents are dead, Emily left forever ago, Alyssa is dead, Laura is being held hostage and so am I. Home doesn't even exist anymore. It's gone,  and I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to have another one.
