The seven detectives now locked in a room looked to one another as fear seem to have struck most of them, and tension rose rather quickly in the room. Their eyes were made to turn back to the screen for the fourth time to see the unexplained.

"The cameras happen to go off at the time you all disappear from your desks. To make sure this wasn't just some coincidence with wrong timing, we followed you all through the other cameras except we didn't. At the time we suspected the note, none of you are on footage."

Taehyung shook his head viciously. "That's not possible. I mean why would any of us be wanting to do that? Maybe we're being framed!"

"We thought about that." Jin said. "The only people who would want any of you frame would be among you. Everyone else was put in place or not seeming out of the ordinary before the cameras tracking you all were shut off. Most of the other footage at the time is still there meaning whoever it is, whether it be the killer themselves or an accomplice, is most likely to be someone here."

The four detectives who thought the tension was as a high as it could be before really wanted to hear the fighting again. They wanted not to be put in a position where their every move to even the time lapse between their blinks were being watched by their superiors.

"We have been ordered by the chief to stay in here until there is either a confession or further investigation shows the culprit or one of you guilty."

"W-What if we have to use the bathroom?" Taehyung asked in a mutter. "What then?"

Jin sighed. "Tae-"

Namjoon raised his hand to stop Jin from talking which obviously proved effective. Instead he leaned forward to look Taehyung closer.

"Why do you all the sudden need to use the bathroom? You were fine just before we got here."

"B-Because I'm nervous."

"Why are you nervous? If you got nothing to hide there's no need to be nervous, Taehyung. Unless...you do have something to hide. Do you?"

Taehyung eyes widened as he finally caught on to the reason for all the questioning. He raised his hands up and waved them dramatically as he pleaded innocent. Those around them could only watch as the man dug himself a deeper grave. It was most likely he hadn't done it given he showed no signs of being able to pull off such stunt yet his squirming attitude wasn't helping his case.

"I have nothing to hide! Nothing! I'll tell you everything! I grew up on a farm for a few years with my grandma and two brothers!" Taehyung said before turning to his fellow detectives. "You guys know me well enough right. Unlike Yoongi at least you know I have siblings."

At the mention of Yoongi's sibling, all the attention and tension shifted to him. No longer was Taehyung the target. Both Namjoon and Jin glanced over to each other with confusion plastered all over their faces.

"You are recorded as only child...what sibling?"

"You're late to the party." Jungkook chuckled. "Turns out chief Kwon's right hand, Ms.Lee is his sister. Oh and Yoongi's got a son. Okay, now you're caught up."

If it were possible, daggers would have been shot right into Jungkook's mouth through the daring glare Yoongi sent him. Even more focus had been put on him as the two superiors were almost completely lost by this information.

"None of this in your record, Yoongi..." Jin said.

"Maybe that's because we might not be even talking to 'Yoongi'." Namjoon scoffed. "Care to explain?"

The targeted man look to those in the room as words were at the tip of his tongue. He sighed before going on to explain himself.

"Ms.Lee is my half sister, different father. Before I entered the force my mother wanted her to remove any connections to each other because she thought it might give me leverage, which she didn't think fair. As for my record not showing I have a child, I don't know. I have no access to those files nor do I know where I could get access to them. Perhaps you should take that up with who tampered with my information the first time."

Namjoon rose from his chair, he said nothing. He looked Yoongi in the eye for the longest time. It was uncomfortable for everyone else in the room. The discomfort, however was not in any way given attention for everyone was on thin ice. No one would dare show any emotion that could incriminated them. Even Taehyung tried his hardest to keep a straight face, even if he wasn't doing a good job.

"Jimin did you know about this?"

Jimin looked up, he nodded his head. "I found out about them just recently."

"How recently?"

"Of his sister about an hour ago and of his son about a day."

"Wait...haven't you two been in a relationship for more than a day?" Jin question, his expression completely baffled."How is that you are only just finding this out now, and how are you only letting him find out till now? You're also work partners, how?"

"Ooo I think we've got our murder." Jungkook said in a playful tone. No one dared to look him nor give a sign of acknowledgement to his unnecessary comment.

"I just didn't want to tell him yet, I didn't think it was right to just yet. Plus shouldn't we give more attention to the Jungkook who got a little too happy as he called me a murder?"

Some eyes turned to Jungkook who was picking at the dust particles on the surface of the table. He took it in him to look everyone in the eye before speaking to Namjoon directly.

"I couldn't have done it." He said with a shrug. "I was with Lisa the whole time in the missing's person division."

"How will we know she's not lying to us if we ask her to confirm this?" Jin questioned.

Jungkook sighed. "She may be my girlfriend, but she also works in the same place as us. But putting aside that she might, there were other people around us. They can vouch for me. Maybe instead of attacking me you should focus on those who had no eyes on them during the time."

Taehyung perked up all the sudden at the suggestion. He agreed with it quickly.

"It's true! I can be vouched for too! I went to make some copies at the machine and I talked to some of the guys there. They can definitely tell you I was with them."

Namjoon and Jin agreed they'd do just that. Everyone's alibi was asked for so that they could clear some names from the list. Jungkook and Taehyung told the same thing, but in more detail that was not really needed. Hoseok claimed to be taking his usual bathroom break which at the time was the everyday norm. As for Yoongi and Jimin, they had no one that could have seen them. They had gone to fetch drinks at the vending machines at one of the lonely corners of the station.

"So two of five check out best is what I'm hearing?"

"No, there was an elderly man with me in the bathroom as well. He mentioned he had come to follow up with a recent case which involved his wife. I'm not sure if he's still around, but perhaps he'll remember me."

Jin noted down everything in a quick manner under his heading with Hoseok's name. He handed the notepad to Namjoon for revision.

"We're going to pass this through the chief. Sit tight."

The duo left the five in silence. They locked the door from outside as well.

"If one of you in here is involved with the killer you should just confess now, you're wasting our time." Taehyung said with a heavy sigh. "I rented a movie that expires tonight. Please don't send the little money I have to waste."

Everyone stared at him outraged. In such a moment they could not believe he thought of such thing. Among them all was an enemy. Whoever it was did not matter for already betrayal was being felt in the hearts of the innocents. It did not matter who it was because they had taken the trust that took so long to build and crushed it.
