[Minghao and the others]

"I'm going after him."

"Joshua no." Says Wonwoo.

But Joshua wasn't listening to him. He pulled back the wall and exited the room, closing the wall behind him.

"Those idiots, what if they get caught?" Worries Jun.

"We have to tell the other six." Speaks up Samuel.

Minghao nods and turns on his walkie before he can speak up gunshots are heard from the walkie.

"They're being shot at." Concludes Minghao.

"Then we can't contact them until they make it out." Says Wonwoo.

"If." Says Samuel.

"Don't say if. Its Seungcheol, Hansol, Jihoon, Jeonghan and Soonyoung they can make it out." Says Wonwoo.

"Seungkwan is with them?" Chan questions.

"I know." Wonwoo says not correcting himself.

"Seungkwan can make it out alive. Hopefully." Says Samuel.

"He has the others with him of course he can." Speaks Mingyu.

"Whatever you guys say." Wonwoo shrugs.

"You guys are bad at staying quiet." Points out S.B.

"Shh kid you're supposed to stay quiet." Shushes Mingyu like a kid.

S.B roles his eyes at Mingyu but stays quiet.

"Hyung." Calls Minghao through the walkie bu there is no answer.

"Something must be keeping them busy." Says Mingyu.

"No shit Mingyu." Retorts Minghao.

"Oh shut up Minghao." Retaliates Mingyu.

"Why don't you shut up Mingyu." Spits out Minghao.

"Both of you knock it off." Says Wonwoo glaring at the two.

"Tell that to him." Both of them say pointing at each other.

"Guys stop you are going to get us caught." Jun says trying to calm them down.

"Fine." They both reluctantly agree but still glare at each other.

"Aren't you guys adults?" Asks Ji.

"Yes." answers Samuel.

"What you talking about you're only 16." Says Chan.

"You're only 19." Retorts Samuel.

"Are you sure you're adults?" Asks Sook.

"Yes." Samuel and Chan answer.

"Ok." Sook says shrugging.

"Guys focus. Minghao can you get in contact with them now?" Asks Wonwoo bringing back everyone to the task at hand.

"Let me try." Minghao answers before turning on his walkie one more time. There's static and then Minghao starts speaking.

"Jeonghan Hyung!" Calls out Minghao.

"What is it?" Asks Jeonghan after a little.

"The cops are in the house." Minghao whispers getting quiet.

"What!" Exclaims Seungkwan and Soonyoung.

"A little while after the cops that are after you passed, more started coming and they stopped right in front of the house. But the thing is they aren't cops." Whispers Wonwoo.

"What do you mean?" Asks Seungcheol.

"Seokmin said they weren't cop cars as he was keeping watch." Says Minghao.

"Seokmin!" Suddenly calls out some of the kids.

"Jeonghan oppeya, Seokmin oppeya ran out of the hiding place a while ago and hasn't come back. Joshua oppeya went after him but he hasn't come back either." Cries out Ji.

"Calm down kids, don't be noisy." Jeonghan says trying to calm the kids. "Why did he run out?"

"He wanted to grab the diamond and make sure it was safe. We tried to stop him but he was already out." Speaks Samuel.

"Why would he do that?" Questions Seungcheol.

"That diamond is special to him." Says Jeonghan. "Anyway we need to get back now. You guys don't move from there. Come out only if you need to. We're on our way."

"Hurry hyung." Says Minghao.

Minghao sets down the walkie and looks at the others.

"What do we do now?" He asks.

"Stay put." Says Wonwoo.

"But we need to go save Seokmin and Joshua." Whines Ted.

"But Jeonghan said to stay put. So we're going to stay put." Says Wonwoo.

"Why do we have to listen to him anyway?" Says Mingyu.

"Because he knows this stuff the best." Minghao argues.

"We barely know the guy plus you haven't seen him in 11 years. How do you even know its the same guy. People change." Mingyu argues back.

"He doesn't change. I haven't changed, Wonwoo hasn't changed, Soonyoung hasn't changed, Seungkwan definitely hasn't changed, and Seokmin obviously hasn't changed. We are still the same why can't he be, huh?" Says Minghao shoving Mingyu slightly.

"People change in a short amount of time." Mingyu says shoving him slightly as well.

"Guys stop." Intervenes Wonwoo, but they don't listen.

They come closer to each other and continue shoving each other. They continue shoving each other with the others trying to make them stop.

They start shoving each other voilently, not caring what the others say.

Samuel and Chan push the children back as the two continue arguing.

"Guys calm down. Lets all just try to calm down and take a deep breath." Junhui tries to calm them down, key word tries.

"Shut it Jun." They both say to Jun, who closes his mouth.

The two continue shoving and bickering until Wonwoo had enough.

"Guys enou-" Wonwoo starts but is cut off by Mingyu pushing and bumping into him.

Everything seems to go in slow motion for a while as everyone watches in shock. Wonwoo loses his balance as he stumbles backwards and falls to the ground.

He tries to grab on to something but instead knocks down the candle Samuel had placed on a stool.

Like in slow motion the candle falls to the floor and sets it ablaze.
