Patience is a virtue, one that the Dream team did not possess nor want to develop, sitting in the truck the only sound was the constant sound of computer scanners and the tapping of Jaehyun's finger nails as she stared at the same screen over and over again.

"Can they like hurry up, I don't want to sleep in this truck" Renjun sighed leaning into his palm looking at the blank cameras yawning, nothing was happening and nothing seemed to be happening.

Jeno looked at his watch 2:17 and rolled his eyes before getting up from his seat.

"What are you doing Officer?" Jaehyun asked raising any eyebrow and Jeno slowly walked towards her aiming for the drivers seat.

"It's already an hour past the meet up time, no ones here" Jeno rolled his eyes trying to walk past her but a hand had stopped him, looking down at the hand on his chest he looked up at Jaemin who gave him a look.

"The Lieutenant's source said it was happening tonight, just be patient" Jaemin said easing both eyebrows, Jeno scoffed and pulled Jaemins hand off his chest.

"clearly it's not a reliable source, let's not waste our time waiting for something that's not going to happen, to happen" Jeno said and the sound of Jisung's and Chenle's agreeing made Jeno cock an eyebrow, Jaehyun rolled her eyes at his childish behaviour.

"Then what's that?" Jaehyun said her eyes flicking to the screen she had stopped watching, a black limousine had pulled into the boat yard making everyone jump to their toes.

"Renjun, scan that license plate" Jaehyun instructed and Renjun nodded taking a quick screenshot of the vehicle as it drive past one of their cameras, scanning it through he tsked.

"It's belongs to Paul Rodriguez" Renjun said typing hastily and pulling up a photo of the vehicle owner, it indeed was the head of the Rodriguez Cartel, Jisung pointed out another car that had pulled in, a black SUV watching carefully Renjun tried to do the same but the car had no license plate.

The cameras had switched and followed the cars to the loading dock that ships would normally be held but none were there at this time, both cars stopped parking beside each other at least 10 metres away from each other and the whole team stood closer to the screen watching what was happening.

The owner of the limo had stepped out of the limo with the help of the driver who opened his door and Jaemin watched as Jaehyun started tapping her foot, nerves taking over.

The SUV had opened showing the face and identity of the buyer and that's all they needed for their next step to be made.

...

Jaehyun took the sunglasses off of her face and hooked it onto the hem of her t-shirt, pushing open the door to the SM building she made her way to the elevator hearing a voice asking to stop it.

"Wait hold the door please" Jaehyun raised an eyebrow putting her hand out and stopping it when another person had pushed inside the doors, they had their hands on their knees breathing heavily as if they just ran.

"u-uh thanks, I wouldn't know what my captain might do if I was lat- LIEUTENANT Lee" Renjun's voice cracked and Jaehyun raised her eyebrows in amusement, Renjun bowed apologising about almost being late and Jaehyun shushed him.

"It's fine, technically you're not late unless you walk in the room after your captain, it's a rule I choose to follow" Jaehyun smiled rocking back and forth on her heels, her tone had a hint of something in it, almost challenging, Renjun pulled himself together before staring at the girl, she was of course shorter than him but not by much.
