Escape

Min-jae had been working all day and night, the bags under his eyes and the empty cups of coffee on his desk were more than a proof for the hard work the six members of BTS couldn't see. He was getting stressed with all the work that lead to nothing. His men were working on finding the location of the call four days ago but they couldn't come up with anything new. If only the line hadn't been cut off, then today they would have been able to rescue Seokjin, he would have marked this to be another successful case but the man behind all of this was more prepared and smarter than he gave him credit for.

'If only I was Sherlock. I'm sure this would have been a piece of cake for him' He sighed as he stretched his body.

Almost all ways to finding Seokjin had been tried. Min-jae had sent undercover agents here and there but no way seemed to work. He was currently waiting in his office for any news from the agent who went undercover on the darkest and ugliest places on the dark web, places Min-jae hated going to as a detective even though he had been there multiple times before.

A knock on the door informed him of the arrival of the trusted agent he had took a liking to.

"Sir, I think we're finally getting somewhere with this case" The man named Kenma approached Min-jae's desk and placed his laptop on it, forgetting to greet him before getting to the topic "Since you've assigned me to this, I've seen many illegal acts, there was no depth to how I went and the further seemed the better. There is a hidden website I had managed to get into even though I have admit it was hard" He turned the laptop to Min-jae's direction after clicking on the website he was talking about and making sure to not get busted with this for just one wrong click could make it visible for the owner that someone had hacked some parts of the system "I believe we're closer to solving this now"

Min-jae eyed the laptop screen with his hand on his chin, his eyebrows knitted together as he inspected the contents of what he's seeing.

Pictures of the victim who kept him up all night and day where spread across the website under information of him and a huge number of money. He could see the number of visitors on the website and how many people had actually signed in and clicked to confirm that they want to pay in return of getting what he could read is two hours of owning this person.

Many comments were under each picture, mostly from the same people who had the ability to access this place and witness this. These people weren't so small in number, nor were they too high. Everything Min-jae's eyes scanned was bothersome, especially the pictures of the singer either naked or dressed with questionable and revealing clothes, it wasn't something he expected to see even though he had seen worse than this in old cases.

"Are you able to locate the device in control of this website?" Min-jae's eyes never left the screen as he continued to take in more information and scroll down to the recent updates.

"I'm working on it sir but it might take some time."

"How much?"

"A day? or two maybe. The dark web was never an easy place to deal with and I need to be careful since it seems that whoever created this website did it with the intention of keeping it away from us at all costs. The security is so strong and there are traps at every click. Tracking deeper information will be complicated but possible."

Min-jae nodded "We need to locate the device before the first of November. Keep the work going fast." He ordered. This would go downhill if they aren't able to locate Seokjin before that date. It was their time limit since the online auction going on wasn't good news. He could tell that the young man had been abused in many ways and didn't want to keep this going on, he is late but Seokjin could still be saved. The golden opportunity of winning this case was right in front his hands, he just needed to work a little harder to grab it.
