• Kim Aera •

"Are you sure that's a lead?", Captain Minyuk Kwang asked sceptically going through the receipts. Aera and Yoongi were standing in the captain's office waiting for his official go.

"We are fairly certain but this has been the biggest lead after months, it'd be foolish not too persue it", Aera commented.

The captain frowned clenching his jaw probably evaluating the pros and cons," Yes for now just the two off you, if you don't find any concrete evidence we call this off, understood?"

"Understood", both Yoongi and Aera answered simultaneously.

"So which establishements are on the list?", Aera asked Yoongi who had the folder in his hand.

"From the files we could get the two highest were the 'Bunny cave'- "

"The strip joint?", Aera asked surprised and Yoongi eyed him weirdly.

"Yeah you familiar with it?"

"Yes I mean no not personally but I had a lot of files about it when I was on desk duty", Aera explained and Yoongi nodded his eyes in slits.

"Right anyway there is bunny cave and there is the silver dragon, that is a fancy night club, however I think we should converse with my source first?", Yoongi added and grabbed his leather jacket and badge," Come on let's go."

...

"So who is this source you have?", the brunette asked curiously when Yoongi stopped the car parking in front of a book shop.

"Believe it or not he is an old friend", Yoongi said staring blankly ahead, Aera scanned the other's profile. Sources usually are criminals themselves or caught up in it. How could he be a friend? Unless Yoongi used to be a part of the criminal life in Seoul too at some point.

Aera flinched slightly when Yoongi caught him staring when he turned to face him," Let's pay him a visit shall we?"

Aera nodded.

The bookstore was small and crowded, the walls were full with books up til the very top touching the ceiling. It looked like one of those old fashioned bookstore rather than the new modern ones.

"Joon?", Yoongi called when they walked inside, but their presence was already announced by the chiming of the bell that was attached to the door.

They heard a sound behind some bookshelves next to them. A tall man with grey hair and a pile of books in his hands appeared. He didn't look scary or like anyone who knew about the ongoings in the underground scene.

"Hello hyung, who's this?", he sounded detached, even though they were friends.

"This is my colleague detective Kim Aera", Yoongi introduced him, Aera gave him a nod which the other answered with a nod as well.

"I am assuming you are here because of the tip I gave you", the tall man said directed towards the raven.

"Yes, you were right about the money laundering?-"

"How did you know about that?" Aera interrupted and Joon glanced at him before locking eyes with Yoongi.

"I don't reveal my sources", the tall man said calmly. Aera pressed her lips together.

"Joon we found receipts that lead us to the silver dragon and the bunny cave, does that ring any bells?", the eldest asked.

"Hmm", Joon hummed in thoughts seemingly," I didn't hear about money laundering with them. Of course there have been rumors with other businesses happening but not necessarily tied to the black fox clan if that's what you are wondering."
