An Ace up my Sleeve (English)

Chapter 2

Namjoon and Yoongi were standing in front of an old, abandoned factory, inside of which they knew their clients were waiting for them.
They walked in and came face to face with two men and a woman. All of them carrying weapons.

"Do you have the money?" one of the men asked.

"We have money, yeah. But we're not really planning on giving you any." Namjoon answered.

"And why's that?! We had a deal!" the woman exclaimed.

"Cause we ain't stupid! We know you work for Jin. We're not gonna give you the money, so you can run back and hand it over to him. Unlike you, we don't really wanna be his bitches..." Yoongi answered.

"You say that now but you know just as well as we do that he controls everything that goes on in this country. You won't be able to escape him for very long." the woman said.

Tired of not being taken seriously, Namjoon pulled out his gun and shot the man who had stayed silent the entire time. Everyone fell silent for a few seconds until Yoongi decided to join his brother. He pulled his gun out and pointed it towards the woman.

"We'll take our chances." Yoongi said with a mischievous grin on his face.

The woman pointed her own weapon towards Yoongi, getting ready to shoot him but Yoongi was faster and shot her before she could pull the trigger.

Unlike him, Namjoon wanted to have a little bit more fun. He faced the last man standing and shot him in the left knee. His screams echoed in the empty factory. Namjoon shot him in his right knee. He fell on his knees in front of him and his brother.

Namjoon approached the man, got down on one knee in front a him and placed a hand on his shoulder. A gesture that could have been misinterpreted as sympathy had this not been Namjoon.

"Both your buddies are dead and if you think Jin is gonna rescue you or come avenge you, you're wrong. In fact, considering the lousy job you guys did, he would'a killed you himself. I'm really just making it easier for him. But I'm gonna let you in on a secret... I'm not as cruel as he is. Who knows? I might even let you live. After all you are already on your knees in front of me... so..." Namjoon got up and pointed the gun at the man's head.

"Beg me for your life."

The man was breathing heavily, his eyes were wide and tears were appearing.

"I... I... Please, please, I'll do anything you want, but please... don't kill me..." begged the man.

Namjoon watched him, seemingly indifferent to his words. He turned around to face Yoongi who just shrugged his shoulders, visibly unsatisfied. Namjoon turned back around, to face the man.

"Mhm... I've seen better." he said before shooting a bullet in the man's head.

[Later that day, evening]

In the security of their home, Yoongi was working in the bunker, while Namjoon went to check up on his son. He knocked on his bedroom door and walked in. Inside, his son was playing with a fake gun and was pretending to kill bad guys.

"Tae... what are you doing?" Namjoon asked with a small smile on his face.

"I'm training so I can be like you when I grow up!" Taehyung answered with a  childlike voice.

Namjoon knew very well that what his son had just told him should alarm him. The field in which him and his brother work in isn't the safest one (or the most legal). A small kid shouldn't aspire to be apart of it. He knew that. But nonetheless, he couldn't help but be happy. If his son wanted to be like him, that meant he would be willing to continue his work when the time came.
After a few seconds of silence, Namjoon spoke to his son again.

"I'm going to work in the bunker with your uncle. If you need me, don't hesitate to come and see me." He said before closing the door to his son's bedroom.
