9 | Petty Theft

All of the members yawned while walking back to the hotel, they were stuffed and tired , they were a couple blocks away and they could see the entrance of their hotel.

"There food was so good! Even the breadsticks"
Mark gushed at how great they just ate.

Eunjae smiled nodding feeling quite devious remembering that technically she's didn't have to pay for the bill, her agency did.

"They were good! Until Johnny stuck them in his nose imitating a walrus" Doyoung complained shivering at the memory.

"Hey, That was pure comedy right there, Don't hate the player hate the game" Johnny said dusting off the invisible dirt on his shoulder.

"Ok , It's the games fault that you ended up sneezing"
Jaehyun laughed recalling what had happened.

"Did you see them! It was like two rockets back firing and hurtling back towards earth, Earth being our table"
Donghyuck leaned on Mark trying to contain his laughter, The whole group bursting into tears of laughter.

They all walked back sharing comments about the food and which dumb moment was the best .

Eunjae was telling a story about how she's pretty sure that one of the waiters were a fan until she felt someone push past her roughly snatching her purse out of her hand and running off .

Eunjae being Eunji her instincts kicked in and before she knew she was tailing the guy around the corner , The members way behind her.

"Lady, Stay back! I don't want to hurt you"
The man yelled at Eunji once she had cornered her in an alleyway , He pulled a knife out of his pocket trying to nip at her but backing up.

"Lady? Are you crazy , I said fucking get back"
The boy seemed young and panicky probably more scared that Eunji was.

"Hey!, Just give me my purse back and you can go"
Eunji said reaching for her pistol in the back of her pants.

She could feel the guy watching her every move, inside the purse was the agencies credit card and her phone which was logged in to various secret profiles and had many illegal and legal files saved into it . There's no way she could just let him go.

"No! You really don't know how this works aye? I'm the bloody robber , now fucking get back before I slit your throat" The man said hands shaking.

He was definitely scared.

Before he could react , Eunji had pulled out her pistol pointing it at him making him freeze.

"Im an FBI agent, If you don't give me the god damn purse , I won't hesitate to shoot you and then lock you up for attempt of murder and theft" Eunji raised an eyebrow grabbing her badge out for her shirt showing the thief and putting it back in.

"No! Fuck! , I can't go back to jail, I just can't"
The man mumbled to himself regretting everything he had just did , Behind the ski mask you could tell he was starting to crying.

"Drop the knife, Kick it over to me , Slide the purse over and put your hands up in the air and I won't shoot you , I just want the purse back"
Eunji said , She needed to hurry this up before the members turned the corner seeing their delicate manager with a gun in her hands.

The man dropped the knife kicking it away towards her , She placed her right foot over the blade still pointing her gun at the man.

"Now give me back the purse"
Eunji said hearing loud footsteps being her. This needs to happen quickly. The man heard them too and threw the purse up in the air before jumping on top of the large trash container and jumping the fence while Eunji was too focused on catching her purse.

Eunji made a choice to let him go , praying he doesn't think to do this to someone else.

The footsteps became louder loud enough to tell Eunjae that they were behind her and before she knew it , She had stuffed the pistol into her purse turning around to see her members.

"Oh my ghod! I just got the fucking worst PTSD , Are you ok! Manager Eun?" Doyoung yelled out to their manager walking towards her, The rest nodding and following , some hesitantly.

"Guys , It's fine , I'm fine . look I got the purse back"
Eunjae smiled they all gave her a confused look while grabbing her and checking to see if she was hurt.

"How?"
Taeil asked taking a step back to give their Manager some room.

"Well I don't know, I turned the corner and saw the purse lying on the ground. The guy gone" Eunjae lied easily and smiling at her members saying how he probably dropped it. Eunji leaned into her right foot feeling the blade being sandwiched in between her shoe and the concrete.

"Oh thank goodness you're ok though, I was so scared that something would have happened, but you can sure run fast" Taeyong said nearing Eunjae and ruffling her hair.

"I used to be in track in high school"
Eunji made up ducking slightly playing along with Taeyong's playful nature.

If Eunji had a dollar for every lie she had told over the last couple of days , she wouldn't have to need this job.

"Race you guys back?"
Eunjae said cutting their focus off of her and on getting home, because last time they were in a dark alley way it didn't end well.

They all started walking out of the alleyway and onto the main street .They all nodded smiling at the girl .

"I'm warning you guys I'll probably end up smoking you guys, So I'll give you guys a head start"  She said rubbing her hands together .

"We will see about that Manger Eunjae"
Donghyuck challenged.

"1. 2. 3. GO!"

Watching them all run their hardest while mark and Donghyuck recite the chant for NCT's Dream song 'Go' . Eunjae quickly pulled the pistol out from her purse shoving it back into the holster that she always had wrapped around her waist due to that reason.

Once she had adjusted it properly, Jaehyun had looked back at her while she started jogging , gaining momentum to start sprinting faster than all of them passing them in mere seconds. Earning loud whines from some of the members. Jaehyun, Taeil and Jungwoo cheering instead,

While in the Academy Eunji had to withstand a lot of physically draining tests that tested her stamina and endurance.

Eunji knew how to pace herself and use her stamina well always being one of the best when it came to physical activities , but her main expertise involved quick and logical thinking.

They all started slowing down knowing they were at a loss while Donghyuck kept running .

He wasn't going to be beaten by a girl today, but yet he did.
