"You found something?" Seokjin burst into Officer Hyul's office, interrupting the man who was deep in conversation with another uniformed officer.
Hyul looked at him. "How the hell did you get here so fast? I just called the other Kim not even ten minutes ago and you live at least thirty minutes away."
"What did you find?" Seokjin demanded, storming over.
"I would rather know what speed you were going on the way over here." Hyul retorted.
"Jin!" Namjoon hurried into the room. "Jeez, there you are!"
"Did you find my babies?" Seokjin didn't let up his intense stare on the officer, and the man finally sighed, backing down.
He sat down behind his desk and faced his computer screen so the other two could see.
Namjoon pulled Seokjin into the seat next to his, not wanting the man to faint again if there was more bad news.
"We got a potential hit off the gas station's security camera's." Hyul explained. "A dark van was seen pulling away from what appears to be the orphanage at around two a.m. the night the kids went missing."
"Two in the morning?" Namjoon breathed, his eyes wide. "I...I was there...I had just left after holding Jungkook...I...I could have...if I had just stayed a little while longer..."
Seokjin was in disbelief too. "A dark van?!" He recalled seeing one earlier that evening, at dinner, circling the building. At the time he had been too preoccupied with his thoughts that he hadn't paid much attention to it. "Oh my God..."
"Now, it may be nothing." Hyul quickly raised his hands to calm them down. "We can't even confirm it was coming from the orphanage at all, and just because it's a van doesn't mean it's some cliché kidnap getaway car."
He pointed to the computer screen, which was fuzzy like a CCTV's camera. He pressed play, and the silent video started.
The white time stamp in the bottom corner showed it was 2:11 in the morning.
The streets were bare, the lone streetlight barely providing enough light to see a dark van slowly rolling down the road, before leaving the camera's screen.
Hyul was right, it did look like it was coming right from the orphanage, but it was almost nothing to go on.
Hyul rewound the tape, paused, and zoomed in on the license plate. "We traced this number and the van belongs to a Benjamin Hall. My partner and I are going to check out his address. We'll let you know if there's any leads with this."
Seokjin jumped up. "I'm going with you!"
"Jin-"
"Mr. Kim, you can't interfere with a police investigation." Hyul said sternly. "I understand how much this means to you and I can't imagine what you must be going through, but you have to leave all the police business to us."
