"Sir, the boy is here." the sergeant said softly.

"Let him in." Namjoon ordered, sitting at the flimsy wooden desk.

The room was cloaked in shadow - the only source of light was a small lamp that rested on the desk at which Namjoon was sat.

The door creaked open and a boy stood alone in the doorway. His messy hair, raven black, much like his eyes; his t-shirt was dark and plain; his skinny, coal colored jeans were ripped, and his face was blank with barely any expression at all.

"Come in, come in." Namjoon invited, adjusting his tie even though he couldn't see it in the darkness. "Take a seat."

As the boy entered the room and shut the door, his footsteps echoed and bounced off the walls. Taking a seat opposite the officer, silence fell upon both of them.

"Do you know why you are here?" Namjoon asked, leaning forward in his chair.

"I don't... but I can hazard a guess." The boy offered. "Considering you invited me to a police station with absolutely no context at all, My first idea was that this was to do with a top secret investigation, but due to the fact that there are other officers hanging around, I can only presume that the case is not that secret after all. Maybe it isn't that information about the investigation is off limits to others, but the fact that I am a part of it must be kept secret. Using that knowledge, I would say that I was brought here to contribute to the Park Jimin VS NASA case. Am I correct?"

The police officer was stunned.

"You really are as good as they say..." Namjoon nodded. "But I would try to steer clear of the word 'secret'. You said it way too many times in that one deduction."

The black haired boy laughed and sat back in his chair, flipping his hair back off his face.

"So I am correct then?"

"Yes." Namjoon sighed. "I've brought you in for one reason and one reason only. You used to be friends with our prime suspect. We need you to go undercover and gain his trust again so we can bring him in. Then all we-"

The boy cut the officer off by raising his hand.

"Sir, I am a student, not a spy." He said softly. "Furthermore, I don't like the police, so why should I help?"

"You are a student, but you are at the top of your class! I am still in awe from your deductive skills! You would have so much potential if you helped us out. You could shape your future."

"With all due respect sir, the world ends in a few days. I don't have a future."

Silence once again fell upon them. It was so deafening that Namjoon had to break it.

"You do have a future." He sighed, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small square of paper. 

The black haired boy leant across the desk and took it, holding it up to the lamp to read the tiny text. 

"NASA has set up a Top Secret mission - so secret that only 100 people on this Earth know about it - one of them being myself. You see, once every month, NASA has sent a rocket up with many supplies to a planet just outside of our solar system. On the 12th September, they are taking up 100 people to stay there for a month until the world is once again safe to inhabit, then they will come back and rebuild as much as they can. That piece of card you hold in your hand is your ticket out of here"

"But how did you get hold of this?" The boy asked, staring at the card. 

"I have friends inside of NASA." The officer explained. "But I have lived for long enough - 25 years is more than enough for a man like me. But you - you are 16. You still have such a life to live! And the other 99 people rebuilding the earth would surely be grateful for your brains! Think about it. All you need to do to stay alive is bring one man to me."

The younger boy looked unsure. 

"I don't trust you..." He said flatly. 

"Fine then." Namjoon answered, reaching out for the card. "If you won't do it-"

"NO! FINE I WILL DO IT!" The black haired boy said quickly. "Geez... no need to be so touchy."

He stood up and put the card on the table. 

"I'd better get going then. After all, 10 days will be cutting it a bit fine."

He turned on his heels, walking towards the door and opening it.

"Will you really be able to bring him in?"  Namjoon asked, looking up at the boy in the doorway. 

He looked around at the officer. 

"Why? Do you doubt me?" He smirked. "I am Jeon Jungkook! I will bring him to you... Dead or alive"

He shut the door quietly and Namjoon was left in complete silence.
