"Did you interrogate her family? Figure out how this could be happening to her." Hobi asked.

Taehyung took a sip of his coffee. "The other detectives are on that. Obviously, they don't want me on the team. I heard the mother was going crazy. Imagine seeing the face of a person that let her daughter get kidnapped being there."

"Hey," Jin rubbed Tae's back. "Don't put it that hard on yourself. You didn't know. It happened. I know you're blaming yourself. But look at you, trying your best trying to find her again."

Taehyung leaned back at the chair. "Even if I help her get back, it's still not going to cut it. Look at me. Sitting here in a goddamn cafe while she's out there probably getting beaten to death!"

Jin pet Taehyung's head like a little angry puppy. "Why would anyone want to kidnap such an innocent person?" Hoseok asked them.

Jim sighed, "Beats me."

"Only thing I know is that guy's face. His stupid name was fake, as suspected. The car was apparently stolen from the department and got abandoned in the middle of the woods," Taehyung groaned. "I'm useless!"

Jin went back to comfort the young policeman. "Do you not have any idea who could have done this? Maybe a recent case of kidnapping also? Maybe they could be related."

Taehyung had his chin on the table, a frown was evident on his face. "I don't think so. The only kidnapping case we got was..."

"What?" Jin leaned in closer to Taehyung. Hoseok also glanced at his friend.

Suddenly, Taehyung abruptly sat up straight, startling both the other male. Taehyung's eyes were as wide as they could be. "Jin-hyung... You are a GENIUS!"

Taehyung stood up and threw some cash onto the table they were sitting on. "Get in the car! I'll explain on the way to the PD"

***

The door to the PD was pushed open. "So I'm 90% sure it was the same guy! I mean, it's all connected why was I so stupid? I mean, she herself went to report the missing person! They know each other!"

The three men head their way to the customer service in the PD. "Yo, Moonbin!"

The male on the desk looked up. "Taehyung? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to save the day!" Taehyung said. "Say, would you happen to have any information about the missing person, Jeon Jungkook?" Taehyung leaned in.

"Jeon Jungkook? Why? Found a clue?" Moonbin turned around to check something on his table.

"Hmm, not quite. But it relates to another case, trust me. Can you hand it to me?" Taehyung reached in to grab the file on Moonbin's hand when Moonbin pulled away.

"Wait... What case?" Moonbin squinted his eyes in suspicion.

Taehyung rolled his eyes. "Just give it to me! It'll be worth it, I promise!" Taehyung reached in further while Moonbin backed away more. They started to argue like little kids over the file. Jin and Hoseok sighed.

"Excuse me," Jin looked to his left side and saw a man on the other service counter. "I'm here for the Jeon Jungkook case. I think I may have something that can help."

Jin heard it and he back-hand slapped Hoseok's chest. Hoseok looked over to him in confusion. "What?"

Jin pointed at the man next to them. "He mentioned Jungkook. He said he has a lead."

Hoseok gasped and looked back at Taehyung. "Give me it!" Taehyung said to Moonbin. Taehyung's half body was already on the counter trying to grab the file. "Don't act childish! This is why yo mama don't love you!"

Moonbin gasped. "Yo mama don't love you, either! Get lost!"

Hoseok groaned at the two and grabbed Jin's arm. "Let's go ask him some questions."

Both of the men peaked behind the other man that was explaining something to the policeman. "I went and found this street footage about this specific car. I don't really remember but I think this is the same license plate. Can you please check for me?"

The policeman was actually looking at the two grown men behind him. "Sir?" Jimin asked the cop. "W-what?" He looked behind him and saw Hoseok and Jin leaning over his shoulders. "Um, excuse me?"

Jin smiled and laughed awkwardly. "Hahah! We were just... Uh, interested. In fact! We are also interested in Jeon Jungkook's case so we were just trying to see. I'm sorry if we scared you."

"Yeah, we also feel bad for that Jungkook guy." Hoseok rubbed his nape.

"Oh, " Jimin looked down. "He is actually my friend. That's why I want to help as much as I can. Glad to see other people are trying to get him back, too!" Jimin smiled at the two strangers.

"Yeah... Hey, can we talk to you for a moment?" Jin asked Jimin. Jimin nodded in agreement. They brought him to a more secluded area. "So you personally know this Jungkook guy?" Jin whispered.

"Yeah, kinda," Jimin whispered back.

"So you might have a clue what's going on with him?" whispered Jin.

"Sorta," Jimin replied back.

"Do you happen to know someone that was probably his friend?"

"Wait, why are we whispering?" Hoseok butted in with a whisper.

Jin glared at Hoseok. Hoseok backed away.

Jimin was confused with the question. "What do you mean? But, maybe. Can't promise."

"Do you know (Y/N) (L/N)?"

"I-I can't believe they got her, too. Is it my fault?" Jimin sniffed. Hoseok handed him a tissue and he used it to blow his nose. "Why are people around me getting treated like this?" He gasped. "Is my grandma next?!"

"No, no don't blame yourself!" Jin comforted the weeping boy. "It's not your fault! It's more of Taehyung's fault-"

"HEY!"

"-But that's not the point. The point is, we're going to get her back. Alright?" Jimin nodded while drying his tears with tissues.

"Okay, " Hoseok smiled. "Now where is this place in this video? Do you know like a street name or anything?"

Jimin sighed "Sadly, I do not. I thought the police would do the work. But I found this footage on this small surveillance cottage just down this street. We can go check it out and ask about it."

Hoseok clasped his hand. "Great! Can we go now? Are you free Jimi- Taehyung I swear to God, we are inside of a building why are you wearing sunglasses?" Hoseok looked at Taehyung in annoyance.

Taehyung smirked. "So I can do this-"

He dramatically took the glasses off his face and held them between his two fingers as he stared into the distance. With his deep voice, he said,

"Time to pay an old friend a visit."
