Danger『Section 11』

Danger『Section 11』

The party was finally over and I was on my way home. 

Should I call the cops or not? 

My thoughts drove me insane to the point I even wanted to resign. But could I really give up my dreams for something like this? All I had to do was keep my mouth shut and I was good for life. But, someone like me, obviously has a hard time keeping secrets.

"Found one", I managed to fit my car in between two poorly parked vehicles. As I got out of the car, I was able to see the silhouette of a slim woman walking towards the entrance of the apartments. Just from her tired walk, I knew exactly who it was.

"Anha", I caught her by the wrist, making her almost punch me. Well, I guess that's what an FBI agent does when they get startled. Anha Choi was my best friend, I considered her my sister. We met in college, debatably where you find your real best friends. While she studied forensics, I studied business and finance. We were polar opposites, but our wild personalities somehow meshed. She also happened to be my neighbor, making it convenient for us to reach out to each other.

"What are you...", she trailed off, scanning me up and down. She was probably shocked because of the extravagant dress and the excessive makeup on my face.

"Shut up Anha, I need to talk to you and it's important. I'll explain, let me change out of this first".

"Then let's get out of here and go somewhere more private."

**********

My face was bare and the heavy dress was no longer weighing my body down. It was now or never. I had to tell her. I knew she wouldn't release my name as the one who exposed the dynamic duo. I needed to tell at least one person, and Anha showed up at the right time and the right place.

"I can't tell you here. I have to tell you there", I told her in a serious tone. She seemed like she quickly caught onto what kind of matter I was concealing and didn't fight back.

"Leave your phone here, we don't want anybody tracking us down", she told me, setting her phone on the tea table. She immediately understood the situation we were in and understood what place I was talking about. I did the same with my phone and in seconds we were out the door.

******

This was it. We were on the top of an abandoned building. We found this place when we getting drunk and partying back in college. Whenever one of us felt sad, we always came here. No one really knew of this building, it was on top of a mountain. When a forest fire spread through what once was flourishing town, everything burned down to the ground, except for this building.

"So what is it you wanted to tell me?", she asked me, with her feet dangling off the edge of the roof. The city beneath us looked like the stars above us in the sky. The view was shrouded by the bottom half of the mountain and broken beer bottles scattered through the thick bushes. Like the cold breeze hit the both of us, the realization of what I was doing had struck me.

If I didn't say anything, no one else would. Something really wrong was happening, and I could do something to stop it. "My higher-ups. Their underground gambling leaders. I just caught them and they both threatened to kill me if I spoke about this anywhere else".

She faced me with scrunched eyebrows and creases in her forehead. She leaned closer to me, placing her mouth next to my ear. "By any chance are you talking about...Kim Taehyung and Park Jimin?", she whispered, making sure to be extra quiet.

My eyes widened, and I took a sharp breath, burning my lungs. I immediately faced her, not knowing what to say.

"Don't be too shocked, I was going to tell you sooner or later. They're my newest case, quite interesting actually", she sighed, running a hand through her hair.

"How did you-".

"I'm in the FBI, of course I know. I just need evidence to lock them up. I have a favor to ask you actually", she started.

"What is it?", I asked, curious.

She took a deep breath, facing me. And with a stoic face, filled with a tinge of hope, she asked, 

"Mina, would you like the help me catch the notorious Gambling Brothers?".
