The building was modern, yet aged. A steel and concrete box at the end of a long dirt road set back in the wilderness. The property was owned by no one the world had ever heard of and that was the way they liked it. The men who had planned this mission had taken great pains to cover their tracks. The building was owned by a shell company that was owned by another, and that one by another, and so on. If someone were looking, it would take them months, even years, to untangle the web these men had created to keep themselves hidden from the world. They had always lived on the darker side of humanity and thought nothing of preying on the weakness of others. If it made them money...that was all Dorian and his ilk cared about. And this mission was all set to net them millions. After this, they could call it a day and go their separate ways with enough money to disappear completely and live the life of luxury.
When they had first started planning this mission, there had been no specific target. It wasn't until recently that one of the team members had hit upon the idea of taking the South Korean singing group. They had read an article about the international fame BTS had garnered and the growing revenue coming into the company that managed them. Their large international fan base had given the kidnappers the idea to use the fans and the public to create confusion and hinder any searches by the police. ARMY, indeed. The leader intended to make the ransom demand public knowledge, hence the precautions the team had taken to remain hidden.
When the team arrived at the secure location, the leader directed the men to place their still unconscious hostages in the large common room that had been prepared for BTS. The room contained seven beds, an oversized table surrounded by chairs that were bolted to the floor, as well as two fully functioning bathrooms with a shower, toilet and sink. In the corner was a full kitchenette and refrigerator, and although there was nothing there that could be used as a weapon, it was fully stocked with fresh food and beverages. Surprisingly, there was also a fully stocked closet full of clothes, sizes having been guessed at by watching videos of the group.
The leader and the two men with him were alerted to their guests awakening by a groan coming from the bed nearest them.
