Chapter 30

Night Life Part 1

When Jimin returned to the living room with another full bottle of alcohol, Namjun and Ho-seok were already standing, ready to leave.

"Umm, we have to be going..." Ho-seok stated. "Thanks for the drinks..."

"Ahhh, don't mention it. Why leave so soon..." Jimin sounded disappointed. "Thanks that you helped with the vampire business though..."

"Well, I was the one who let them out of the cellar in the first place, after all." Ho-seok smiled a little embarrassed.

"Will you be all right by yourself?" Namjun asked. The current state of Jimin's intoxication and his somehow odd behavior had him a little worried.

The other was quite drunk to begin with. But underneath that it seemed like he was lashing among hysterical euphoria, sadness and some crushing depression that flashed out briefly in his eyes. It didn't seem such a good idea to leave him alone but it was quite dangerous for them to stay.

"Sure thing!" Jimin stuttered on the words. His tongue dancing disoriented in his mouth. "I'm just gonna finish this myself and then off to bed! No need to worry about me!"

Namjun and Ho-seok looked questioningly at each other. That didn't seem convincing at all.

Namjun opened his mouth to say something but at this moment someone pushed violently the front door open, and it, not attached properly, fell down with a bang for a second time this evening. A second later several policemen crashed in, pistols in their hands and determination in their eyes.

"Don't move, intruders! You are under arrest. Drop your weapons!"

"Jimin' step aside from them!" Jin shouted, his gun aimed directly at Namjun's head. "Slowly step aside and let us deal with these two. Some dangerous criminals you have here!"

"Heeey, who is a dangerous criminal!" Ho-seok sounded insulted. Jin pointed the gun in his direction and nodded his chin in his direction. The mimic clearly stated "You are."

Namjun and Ho-seok lifted their hands in the air. Fuck! This evening was turning into one of the unluckiest nights ever. The funniest thing was that at first this whole enterprise seemed as easy as stealing candy from a baby.

Ho-seok shot Namjun a troubled look that clearly said. "WE ARE IN DEEP SHIT NOW." Namjun darkly looked back as if "REALLY, I HAVEN'T NOTICED!"

Their attention turned back towards the policemen. They had gotten further into the room, followed closely by the hunter, who too was armed.

Two of them had their weapons pointed in their direction while Chief Jin and Suga went quickly around and snatched the black bag with the equipment.

"What have we here?" Chief Jin asked with a huge dose of irony. "Guns, pliers, explosives, oh so many goodies..."

"Jin, wait!" Jimin interrupted. At first the sudden barge in of the police had left him frozen but then he remembered how to speak.

"There is some kind of mistake. These men are my guests, no criminals here!"

Jin snorted with disbelief.

"Yeah, right! First of all these two are quite famous gang members, rumors say that they are involved in all kind of criminal activities, thefts, murders, you name it! I've seen their photos over and over again."
