Helloooo everyone! This is kind of a short chapter now that I look back at it, but it is pretty interesting! I'll post the next chapter soon (probably tomorrow or so) that way I don't leave you guys on another cliffhanger heh ;)

_________________

The train station in Busan was swarming with people now that it was afternoon. Students returned from school, citizens were going home from work. 

Yoongi, Namjoon, and Taehyung all carried their bags off the train and looked around. They went out to the busy sidewalk and stood by.

"So, exactly where are we looking for these people?" Yoongi asked, pulling on a black cap over his head.

Namjoon turned to the youngest. "Well, in the feed Taehyung and I saw on Jeon Jungkook's social media page, he goes to a high school near this train station. That must mean he lives close by."

Taehyung added, "And schools usually end their normal classes by now, so he is probably walking home or taking a break to go to secondary classes."

"So we probably want to look near his school, right?" Yoongi licked his lips and pulled his coat over himself as he felt a cool breeze hit them.

"Exactly." Namjoon snapped his fingers and pointed at him. "Let's go." He looked side to side then nodded to the left. "It should be this way." He walked into the flow of people on the sidewalk.

Taehyung agreed and followed, while Yoongi trudged along behind him. Now, they were off, searching in the city of Busan for Jeon Jungkook. 

It felt like half an hour passed as the three males kept looking. Asking around the school, many said that Jungkook had just left. That only made it harder for them, however, and they went on searching houses and apartments for any sign of Jungkook or Park Jimin.

Namjoon sighed. "I don't think we're having any luck." He frowned and scratched his head.

Yoongi came out from an alleyway. "Don't worry. We can keep looking." He put a hand in his pockets. 

Taehyung came out behind Yoongi and nodded, checking his watch. "Yeah. I mean, it's still early."

"We can search downtown. Maybe one of them met in a restaurant." Yoongi recommended.

Taehyung looked to Namjoon to see his opinion. The tall male nodded, running his hand through his hair. "Good thinking. Let's go." He led the way toward a crosswalk.

Yoongi stepped forward to cross the street when Namjoon noticed something bolting down the street. "Wait, hyung!" He grabbed Yoongi's shoulder and pulled him back.

Taehyung was startled by his friend's yelling, he jumped back automatically.

Just as Yoongi was pulled back, a black van sped past them down the street.

The boys' eyes widened as they watched the van.

"Whoa!" Taehyung awed.

Namjoon and Yoongi looked at each other in surprise. 

"What's his deal?" Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows.

"I know, right? He could've taken you out." Taehyung frowned. "I guess this is how people drive here?"

Namjoon glanced at the speeding van once more. He narrowed his eyes and leaned forward, spotting a glance at the back of it. He caught sight of the grey letters on the back and tilted his head. 

"O… S… R… O?" He asked himself before turning to the others. "OSRO. You guys remember that?"

Yoongi raised an eyebrow. "What?"

Namjoon repeated. "OSRO. That van that just drove by. It's a government vehicle."

Taehyung looked down. "The science lab…"

Yoongi's eyes widened. "Seriously? They've hit Busan already?" He asked in disbelief.

Namjoon gasped. "They could be looking for Jeon Jungkook."

"Or Park Jimin." Taehyung added.

Namjoon looked at the van as it turned into another street. "They must be after them already if they're going that fast."

Taehyung gulped and looked at his phone. "Wait, let me get this up," he scrolled through it quickly and twisted his mouth. "Down the street…" he mumbled.

"What?" Namjoon asked as Yoongi glanced back and forth.

"They just turned down the second street, right? That leads close to the city square. If we can get there and beat the car, we might be able to get whoever they're after."

Namjoon nodded. "Great idea, Taehyung."

Yoongi raised his hands, "Wait, but how are we gonna get there so fast on foot?"

Taehyung sighed. "That, I don't know." He glanced around to see if there was a means of transportation.

Yoongi glanced to his left, where there was a motorcycle parked in front of a bakery. "There!" He pointed toward it.

The two others looked at it and frowned. Namjoon sighed, "I don't know how to drive one of those."

"I do." Yoongi jogged up to it. "It was part of my job as a delivery boy. You can just start it up and we can go."

Namjoon followed. "Only two can get on…"

"I'll stay and take care of our bags.." Taehyung volunteered. "I'll catch up after you guys."

Namjoon sighed and handed his duffel bag to Taehyung. "Thanks, Taehyung. Be careful."

Yoongi nodded and offered his bag. "Yeah, thanks."

"Don't worry about it. Now hurry." Taehyung took the bags and grinned at them a little. 

Yoongi crossed his arms, "I'm not getting on until it starts. I don't want to risk being blown up." He said, looking at Namjoon expectantly.

Namjoon stepped back. "Alright, I don't have much experience doing this type of thing but here it goes." He stared at the engine intently, as if concentrating on it.

A few seconds passed, and the engine revved up. Their expressions lit up as the motorcycle started. Yoongi climbed on before Namjoon did and put on the helmet which was on the front. "You got a helmet there?"

Namjoon looked behind him and nodded. "Got one." He said before placing it on his head.

Taehyung sighed and smiled. "Great. Now go ahead. Good luck."

"Roger that." Yoongi nodded as he pulled out of the space and checked side to side. He revved up the motorcycle and turned the corner, speeding down the empty street to catch up to the van.

"Keep an eye out for that black van." Yoongi told Namjoon, who was already turning his head back and forth, observing everything. "Got it."

The streets were a bit calmer than before, and the sidewalk was more clear. This was good so Yoongi didn't have too much trouble steering around the streets of Busan.

Driving through a few areas, there was still no sign of the black van anywhere. Yoongi lifted his helmet a little as he slowed down by a curb. 

"Where to next? Should we contact Taehyung?" He inquired.

Namjoon bit his lip under his helmet and listed up the visor on it. "Let's just go back where we came from. I'm sure he'll be on his way to the square like he said before."

Yoongi nodded and adjusted the helmet. He sighed. "Well at least we didn't wreck this. Hopefully, the owner doesn't get mad we borrowed it." He murmured with a shrug before revving the motor again.

"That's what you're worried about?" Namjoon chuckled in disbelief. 

Yoongi gave another shrug. "I mean, we could be worse off." He turned the motorcycle and went to crank the handle to go forward when he suddenly stopped himself.

Namjoon tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I see it."

"The van?"

The older male quickly nodded and pointed to the right side, where the black van rushed toward their direction.

"Oh, they must still be after this guy. Whoever it is, he must be pretty sneaky." Namjoon noted.

Yoongi narrowed his eyes and gripped the handles firmly. The van was just about to pass them.

Namjoon eyed the van. "They might still be after them. Hyung?"

"I got it." He answered and revved the motorcycle up, turning on his signal. The van drove past them and Yoongi took off behind it.

"Whoa!" Namjoon looked back. "Nice job."

Yoongi nodded as he followed the van down the road wherever it went. He kept up with it at a distance, though, so it wouldn't seem suspicious. 

"What if they lost him?" Yoongi asked out of nowhere after realizing the van was basically going in circles.

Namjoon leaned forward so Yoongi could hear better. "That means we lost him too." He sighed then furrowed his eyebrows, gazing ahead. "Wait."

"Hm?" Yoongi tilted his head to the side. He kept his eyes on the van.

"Red light ahead."

"Height?" Yoongi asked in confusion. He couldn't hear because of the helmets muffling their speech.

Namjoon realized he didn't hear his warning, so he acted quickly. "Hyung, stop!" He blurted.

The motorcycle seemed to stop on its own, without Yoongi having to pull the brakes. The wheels screeched as they stopped completely.

Yoongi tensed up at the sudden stop. He blinked for a moment and saw the van turning and changing lanes. "The van!"

Suddenly, a large bus drove across the intersection, right in front of the motorcycle. If it weren't for Namjoon stopping it, they probably would've gotten hit.

He looked up to see the traffic light had just turned red and exhaled in panic. He didn't realize he held his breath.

Namjoon panted and took his helmet off. "Are you okay?" He asked.

Yoongi licked his lips nervously before he answered. "Yeah. I'm sorry, I didn't look at the light." He sighed.

Namjoon frowned. "Park over there." He pointed across the intersection at a closed store which had an empty parking spot.

They had surely lost the van by now, especially by how fast it was going. Yoongi didn't even protest and just carefully drove over to the parking spot. 

Both got off the motorcycle and took off their helmets. Yoongi frowned and gazed at the ground. "Are you alright?"

Namjoon nodded. "Yeah, don't worry. I'm just relieved that I caught that in time."

"I should've been more careful. I don't know why it didn't cross my mind."

"It's okay, hyung. Seriously. I'm just upset we lost that van." Namjoon ran his fingers through his hair.

Yoongi nodded. "Yeah…" He fixed his jacket. "I'm gonna ask Taehyung where he is." He pulled out his cellphone and started typing on it.

Before he could send it, though, a loud crash startled him. Namjoon glanced up at the noise, blinking a few times.

"What was that?"

Yoongi sent the message quickly and put his phone in his pocket. "I don't know. It came from…. Behind the shop?" He walked over to try and see the side of the building. 

Namjoon stepped over behind him and leaned in.

There was definitely something going on nearby. He could hear indistinct voices arguing or talking in alarm, which seemed a bit suspicious.

Namjoon turned and pressed his finger to his lips cautiously. Yoongi caught on and nodded, then followed Namjoon as they got closer to the back of the building.

They reached the end of the wall and slowly peered past it to see two men in black suits wrestling a younger boy. The boy wore a uniform, which obviously meant he was a student.

"What the…" Yoongi whispered to which Namjoon frowned. 

They watched as the boy shoved one man off of him and stood up. He whimpered and held his arm.

The other man slammed the boy into the building wall and landed a punch to his stomach. The boy keeled over in pain while the other man got up.

Namjoon cringed at the sight of the boy being pummeled. He then caught a good look at him and whispered, "Wait, isn't that the kid?"

"Jungkook?" Yoongi looked back at him. "How can you tell?"

"Don't you remember the pictures Taehyung showed us? The kid looks exactly like him."

"Well I can't exactly recognize him when those two men are beating him to death."

Namjoon sighed and stepped around him, "Well we can't find out until we-whoa!" He stopped and stared forward.

Yoongi looked past the wall and his eyes widened.

The boy stood up straight, his hands stretched out in front of him.

One of the men was on the floor, groaning in pain. The other was held against the wall by a formation of ice which seemed melded onto it.

"Huh. I guess you were right." Yoongi said in his normal voice. 

"That means those guys are from OSRO." Namjoon reminded him quietly. Yoongi smirked, "Nice." He approached the scene casually. "Let's go introduce ourselves then, shall we?"

Namjoon was about to stop him, then he realized they ought to intervene now before they could lose their opportunity. "Let's." He answered as he caught up to Yoongi.
