Jaemin was nervous, he could see too many people he knew from where he stood but they all seemed to not take notice of him to which he was grateful for.

Jaemin leaned on his leg feeling one of his legs go numb and he leaned back a bit to put his body weight on the booth but tried to make it seem like he wasn't slouching at all, he looked over at Jeno who was staring in the direction of their Lieutenant his face held a blank expression.

"She was good don't you think?" Jaemin whispered over to his friend, Jeno turned his head to look at Jaemin and furrowed his eyebrows confused and then realised who he was talking about, Jeno shrugged looking away.

"yeah I guess" Jeno mumbled and Jaemin smirked raising an eyebrow, Jeno huffed feeling his arms become stiff.

The two continued to watch their Lieutenant as she dashed around trying to look busy, she was walking towards them to serve the table beside them and she pursed her lips at the two making a face and tended to the table, it was scary to see how good she was at the job, having been a waitress as a part time job when she was studying for almost 3 years.

The two watched as she walked past the handgun strapped to her thigh shaking as she took fast steps, Jaemin couldn't help but trail his eyes up but then he looked at Jeno who was lost in thought staring at her backside, Jaemin scoffed rolling his eyes.

"Maybe you should cut the whole 'I hate her for taking my spot' act, it's starting to be a pain in the ass" Jaemin shrugged standing up and excusing himself to go to the bathroom quickly, he noticed the other guard had gone to the bathroom awhile before, Jeno glared at the back of Jaemins head but stayed in his position.

Jaemin took fast steps towards the bathroom trying to be as quick as possible, when he heard the sound of the door opening beside him while he was inside, the other person was on there phone and talking a little too loudly.

"Yes this time he's brought some friends" Jaemin tilted his head and pressed his ear against the door, hearing the voice of the guard, Jaemin pulled his ear back and peeked through the gap seeing the man leaning on the sink eyes focused on his nails.

"I thought they were agents as well until an ex convict showed up at his side, Do you remember Na Jaemin?" The man spoke and Jaemin froze seeing the man tuck his shirt in properly, Jaemin could see the glock he had tucked into the side of his jeans from his little gap in the stall.

"Yeah slippery fucker right?" The man agreed laughing at what someone had said on the other line and Jaemin rolled his eyes seeing him pick at a thread on his shirt.

"On another note because of this I don't think he is an officer, if he was why would he bring someone like him?" The man spoke and Jaemin nodded understanding the logic, no one knew Jaemin had gone good and some even thought he was dead others not caring about some 'street rat' as they called him.

"Yeah yeah well, I'll still keep my guard up, I got to go now, I'll see ya later" the man hung his phone up turning to wash his hands when he heard the sound of a toilet flush, Jaemin held the button down as if he just finished and unlocked the stall stepping out and seeing the man stare at him wide eyed.

Jaemin smirked washing his hands and drying them using paper towels, the guard watched him as he was so calm and didn't say anything, the man was about to ask him what he heard when Jaemin turned to look at him an eyebrow raised, Jaemin threw a mock salute his way and smiled knowingly leaving the man in the bathroom before leaving the bathroom looking back and tapping his ear piece.

"I think they're onto us"

...

Jaehyun continued to watch as she waited on tables close by trying not to seem obvious, she walked past a couple times earning a glance from Rodriguez's who smiled in her direction, her feet were killing her and she reminded herself to give her feet an ice bath when she gets home.

"What's taking so damn long? It's boring sitting here in the car" Haechan spoke making Jaehyun flinch slightly, she continued handing out drinks, Jaemin and Jeno were seen visibly rolling their eyes, Haechan knew no one would answer and continued to talk.

"Hey Lieutenant how'd your performance go? I asked Jeno to record it for me but he I don't think he did" Jaehyun could almost see the smirk on Haechans face and shook it off, Haechan knew no one was going to answer especially in a time like this.

Jaehyun could see the Rodriguez's stand up from the booth shaking hands with Taehyung and leave, Jaemin and Jeno separating do Jeno was now on the other side of the booth.

"What's happening boys?" Jaehyun asked walking away and back to the bar where she was faced with another bartender whose name was Xiumin, Taehyung looked at where Jaehyun was and shook his head.

"Missions been compromised, let's all finish up here" Taehyung said and Jaehyun furrowed her eyebrows, he had an almost frustrated tone in his voice, Jaehyun told Xiumin she is about to clock off.

"Haechan, tell us once they've left the building" Jaehyun spoke walking over towards the stairs.

"Got it" Haechan replied.

Jaehyun nodded making her way down the stairs and back to where she had practiced hours before changing her outfit into the one she had arrived to the club in when she was stopped on her way.
