"Still no word on Taemin?"

It was Jimin on the other line of the phone. Jungkook had gone outside to contact him about the situation. The sun was beginning to go down and the lights on the police cars were beginning to shine brighter with the contrast. 

"I don't know where he is," Jungkook cried. "We've been looking for him around the building. We even had to get the police involved."

"I don't know what to do," Jungkook began to sob with the phone in his hand. He covered his mouth to muffle the sound of his sobbing. 

"Tell me how everything happened," Jimin said. 

"Taehyung was scheduled to be on Ellen today. He introduced Taemin on stage and then later did a performance. He finished and we went with him backstage. Jay was holding Taemin's hand and then Taemin said he needed to go to the restroom. Jihun offered to take him so they went to the restroom. That was the last time I saw him. Jihun said he let Taemin go find Taehyung, but Taehyung said that Taemin never found him," Jungkook stated. 

"Where could he have run off too," Jimin asked. 

Jungkook shook his head in defeat. "I don't know. Maybe he ended up going towards an exit and he couldn't find his way back, or maybe somebody took him." He began to cry louder at the different possibilities, each one scarier than the first. 

"Have the police found anything," Jimin asked. 

"They checked the building thoroughly and the surrounding area. They're filing a missing child report, but they have a strong feeling that someone took him," Jungkook replied with a steady stream of tears falling down his face.

Jimin let out a sigh through the phone. "I'm so sorry Jungkook. I wish I could be there to help you guys find Taemin. I really hope he's okay," he said. 

Jungkook wiped his tears. "I know, thank you."

"Mr. Jeon." Jungkook looked up to see a female police officer calling for him. 

"Jimin, I have to go. They're calling for me," Jungkook said. 

"Okay, be safe. Call me if anything happens."

"Okay, bye." Jungkook hanged up the phone and walked over to the police officer. 

"Did you guys find anything," Jungkook asked, desperate for any good news she might have. 

"We already informed Mr. Kim. We tapped into the surrounding surveillance cameras and we believe your son has been abducted." She pulled out some pictures with a little boy holding hands with someone wearing black clothes. 

"Oh my god," Jungkook shook in fear. It was definitely Taemin. 

"We are still unable to identify the suspect, but we are still working on finding out if he perhaps was driving a car or if someone saw anything suspicious," she said. "We're planning on putting out an amber alert, but for now I think it would be best if you and your family go home and wait for us to get some more information."

"O-okay, thank you," Jungkook said. The police officer said her goodbyes and walked back to her car.

Jungkook looked around to find Jay, Jihun, or Taehyung, but no luck. Jungkook's hands were shaking and he his mind was thinking a million things at once. 

The pictures the office showed him where definitely Taemin. He could barely see his little boy's face, but it was his same clothes that he was wearing. Jungkook just felt very panicky at the idea that someone had his sons and took him who knows where. He worried about what was happening to Taemin and the fact that Jungkook had no control over the situation. 

It was a parent's nightmare and it quickly spiraled into something serious. The shady person who had taken Taemin clearly wanted to steal and hurt another person by taking his son away. Jungkook knew he hated that person even though there was no way of knowing who it was under the black outfit that helped hide his identity. 

He started walking back inside the building in hope to find everyone else when he remembered to let Jimin know if something had happened. He pulled out his phone and as soon as he had the screen faced towards him an private number appeared on the screen and the phone started vibrating. Jungkook's heart skipped a beat as he feared for the worse. 

Jungkook took a deep breathe and exhaled and he pressed the green button and put the phone next to his ear. "Hello?"

At first there was no sound which made Jungkook worry even more. Soon after he heard some faint crying which made Jungkook's heart race. 

"Taemin," Jungkook cried out frantically, in full belief that it was his son on the other line. 

The crying grew louder and Jungkook too began to cry. 

"Daddy! I want my daddy!"

Jungkook covered his mouth in disbelief as he heard Taemin crying out for him. His hand was shaking as his little boy's crying instantly stopped and the line went dead. 

"No, Taemin," Jungkook cried out as he clicked frantically at his phone screen. 

A second later a message appeared from a private number. 

I have him with me. You can get him back if you come ALONE. 156 Broadwood Rd. DON'T call the police or I'll find out and I'll just end it all with a pull of a trigger.
