"And our first item is..." the auctioneer began, "a solid gold pocket watch from the early 18th century. This watch was handcrafted in Britain and passed through the royal family for generations," he spoke smoothly, making sure to lure bidders in. "Would you believe that the Queen still doesn't know it's missing?"He asked rhetorically, earning a few chuckles from the audience.

"Way to sell it, Taehyung," Jungkook shook his head and chuckled quietly whilst he watched watched him from the side of the stage.

He glanced up at the private booths only to spot Namjoon and the other four men sitting comfortably and laughing about something.

Jungkook would have been up there too but he drew the short straw tonight. They had a shortage of security and since he was supposedly the strongest out of them, they chose him to fill in as security.

As for Taehyung, he normally got bored sitting up in the booth for hours, so Namjoon gave him the job of the auctioneer. He was one of the best at talking and maintaining the bidders' attentions.

Jungkook glanced across the crowd, the occasional panel being put in the air to bid. His eyes were scanning for any form of an uproar he may have had to intervene with, but everything was going surprisingly well.

That was until, he saw someone get up from their seat. The same girl he had spotted from earlier on.

His eyes narrowed at her familiar appearance, but he brushed it off and assumed that she got up to use the restroom.

After fifteen minutes had passed, Taehyung had managed to sell two other pieces. A case of handcrafted knives, and a valuable stolen painting. It was enough to make them quite a reputable profit.

Jungkook couldn't help but notice that the girl still wasn't back yet, and he was beginning to get suspicious. His gut was telling him that something was up with her, and he knew to trust his gut feeling.

Releasing a heavy sigh, he reluctantly left his position and made his way outside of the main hall and to the restrooms.

He was almost about to push open the door to the ladies restroom when he stopped himself. He may have been in pursuit of a potential rival, but he wasn't going to stoop to the level of a pervert.

He knocked on the door, listening to see if he could hear a reply.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and one of the regular bidders raised an eyebrow. "Can I help you, Gguk?" She asked with a flutter of her lashes.

"Oh, sorry Jiwoo," Jungkook apologised, a sly grin on his face. "You didn't happen to notice a girl in there? She looks young, has black hair and she's wearing a burgundy dress?" He asked, impatiently awaiting an answer.

"Nope, why?" She questioned with furrowed brows. "Wait! Let me guess, you had a Cinderella moment?" She chirped excitedly, and her words were just a tad slurred.

Jungkook shook his head, "far from it. But maybe you should stay away from the bar for tonight." He released a chuckle at her actions before leaving to try and find out where the suspicious girl went.

He couldn't help but have a bad feeling about her little disappearance, and he hoped his gut was correct.

He went into the room where they kept the screens for the security footage, and played back the cameras to the moment she left, right until the current moment.

"I fucking knew it," Jungkook muttered to himself, quickly throwing open the door and sprinting to the main computer room, where they had almost all of their information stored. The computers linked to their network, and if it was breached, who knows what kind of information could be leaked.
