Hello! I am back. I am so excited to jump back into this story. it has been a while, so to refresh. The rap line got captured by a gang and now the vocal line has to go save them. Pretty simple, right? Anyhow, just to remind you all that this story will be updated every other week because I give a week for people to vote. That's all I have to say, let's get back into it. 

"Fine," Jin huffs, grabbing the gun from Jimin's hand, "Maybe, it wouldn't be an entirely terrible idea to bring weapons." Jimin nods his head and makes his way to the truck. "I have the gang's hideout location on my phone. We'll use the GPS app to drive there," Jimin says, opening the door. Taehyung and Jungkook both nod their heads, following. "Wait!" Jin exclaims, "Wouldn't it be more conspicuous if we take the giant truck?"

Jimin shakes his head, "It'll be fine. Just park a street away. It's not exactly close by. We would be wasting a lot of time if we were to walk. Driving is the fastest option."

"Agreed," Taehyung says, "I'm not much of a fan of walking..."

"As long as we get there faster, I'm in," Jungkook states, "I want to get them out of there as soon as possible." The younger three look to Jin with expectant looks. The oldest crosses his arms, knowing that the decision has already been made and he had lost the fight. "Whatever...let's just go," Jin says, walking to the driver's seat, "No one ever listens to me anymore...what's the good of being the oldest if I get no respect..."

————————————————

A little bit later, the group of four are all jammed into the front head of the truck. It was Jin's idea to all sit up front. Something about being safer. Jin sits in the driver's seat, driving the truck to their destination. Taehyung and Jungkook are sharing the passenger's seat while Jimin is just standing up. He grips the seat in front of him with his right hand and in his other he holds his phone, which he uses to direct Jin in the right direction. Just then, Jin makes a sharp right turn and Jimin squeezes the seat tighter to keep himself from flying. "Yah! Hyung! I'm standing, remember. Not to mention these two aren't wearing a seatbelt," Jimin explains.

Jin eyes widen, "Oh...sorry. I'll go a little slower." With that said, Jin starts to let the truck cruise at a slow speed. Taehyung and Jungkook look to one another in disbelief over the way their hyung is driving. The two look to Jimin, who looks rather annoyed. Jimin rolls his eyes, "You don't have to drive like a grandpa."

"Well, you were complaining, so I'm going slower so no one gets hurt," Jin states.

"You can drive at the same speed. Just don't make sharp turns like that. Or at least warn us. Just stop driving this slow. At the rate you're going, we're not going to be able to save them," Jimin replies.

Jin shakes his head, "I wouldn't be making sharp turns if I knew where we were going. I'm following your directions may I add. It's not like you're saying, hyung we need to turn in a couple of minutes. You tell me right when the intersection is in front of us!"

"Fine. Here," Jimin huffs. The young man places his phone onto the dash of the truck. He positions it so that Jin can see it while still focusing on the road. "We're the blue dot. Just follow the line that's lit up," Jimin explains.

Jin nods, "Thanks...and you didn't need to explain it to me. I know how a GPS works. I'm not that old..."

"Hm...yeah...whatever," Jimin says, not looking Jin in the eyes. Taehyung and Jungkook share another look, not believing that they are stuck in this situation again. "What happened to the two of you no longer fighting?" Taehyung asks.

"We're not fighting," They say at the same time.

"Yeah...sure," Taehyung says with a frown.

Jungkook sighs, "Why did we even bother piling into the front?"

"It's safer when we're all together," Jin says, his eyes not shifting from the road.

Jimin murmurs, "Yeah...it sure is safe to have a passenger standing up and another two with no seatbelt."

"And, I have a couple questions I think that we're all going to want to hear the answers to," Jin states, eyeing Jimin. Said man frowns and shifts his grip on the chair. The other two look to Jimin as well with similar looks of curiosity. Jimin scowls, "What? It's clearly me that you have questions for. Go. Ask." The three start firing questions instantly. Jimin isn't able to tell who says what as they continue to speak over each other. "One at a time," Jimin states, "I can't answer anything if you keep on yabbering like this." The three share looks with one another, trying to decide who will speak first. In the end, the younger two relent and let Jin speak. "Your cousins. They're gang members," Jin says simply.

Jimin frowns, "That's not a question."

"I just want to confirm that my hypothesis is right," Jin says.

"Yeah, they are. Do you have a problem with that?" Jimin replies.

Jin shrugs, "Just wondering. You know...you said that you were just a thief."

"I am," Jimin says through gritted teeth.

"But, your family with gang members, doesn't that mean you're a gang member too?" Taehyung asks.

Jimin shakes his head, "What the heck gave you that idea? Just cause they're related to me, doesn't mean we do the same thing."

"Mafia's operate through families," Jungkook states, "So, that would mean you're involved."

"I said they were part of a gang. I never mentioned a mafia," Jimin says with narrowed eyes, "Why do you even know all of this stuff anyway?"

Jungkook shrugs, "I watch a lot of movies, but that's not the point. Whether it's a gang or specifically a mafia, family is always valued above everything else. That's because family is interlocked in the gang or mafia system. The leader always has his right hand men as his sons. His mafioso."

"Don't say that. Don't say terms you don't understand," Jimin says, his gaze falling to the floor.

"And you understand it, don't you, Jimin-ssi? You understand what a mafioso is," Jin says suspiciously, "You know because you're one of them."

"You're all getting on my nerves. What do you want from me?" Jimin questions.

"The truth," Taehyung says, "Are you a gang member?"

"No-," Jimin starts.

Jungkook cuts him off, "Tell the truth, Jimin hyung. We won't do anything to you. We just want to know."

"Not that we could do much if he is mafia," Taehyung whispers to Jungkook. The younger nods his head and shifts a little closer to Taehyung, feeling a bit safer closer to the man. "Let me finish talking," Jimin states, "What I was trying to say was not anymore."

"What the hell does that mean?" Jin asks.

Jimin sighs, "It's a story that I don't have time to tell. We should be coming up with a plan of attack for when we get to the gang's hideout. Not playing twenty questions."

"We still have time before we get there," Jungkook says, gesturing to Jimin's phone, "It's enough time to tell us your story." Jimin groans and eyes the others who give him expectant looks. "Fine. Fine. You're all nosy asses. I hope you know that," Jimin grumbles.

"Yeah, yeah, get on with the story," Taehyung says with wide eyes.

Jimin pushes his hair back before speaking, "As Jungkook was saying, mafia operates through family. And, I just so happen to come from a mafia family. So, the answer is yes, I am a gang member." The others all have wide eyes and their mouths shoot open to ask more questions. Before they can, Jimin talks, "Yes, I know how to kill. Yes, I've tortured people. And no, I'm not going to be doing anything to you." The three men slowly close their mouths as the young gangster answers everything they were planning on asking. "You said not anymore. What happened?" Jin asks, "You get kicked out?"

Jimin scoffs, "You think they would kick out family. Of course, I didn't get kicked out! We left. My mom and my dad didn't want my brother and I involved anymore. They wanted us to live normally. No mafia. So we called it quits. Since then, I haven't been a mafia member. Are you all happy now? You know the truth."

"So, let me get this straight. Your family is a mafia family. You were a mafia member, but you left because your parents wanted you to live a legal life. And you haven't been back with the mafia since then," Jin reiterates.

Jimin nods, "Yes, gosh you're slow. Is that it? Do you have any more interrogation questions for me?" The younger two shake their head while Jin looks at Jimin skeptically. "You're leaving something out." Jin says, "There's more to the story."

"Maybe there is," Jimin replies with fire in his eyes, "But, I don't have to tell you. You should be lucky I told you any of this." Jin looks into the rear view to see Jimin giving him the death stare, a look that he returns. Taehyung and Jungkook shakes their heads. "Just leave it, hyung," Jungkook says, "If Jimin hyung doesn't want to talk, he doesn't have to. He told us enough."

"Not enough," Jin says, "Not when what he said were just crumbs..." Jimin opens his mouth to retort, but Taehyung cuts him off. "Hey, guys, I think we're a street away from the hideout now. You should park, Jin hyung." The two look away from one another, letting it slide now that they had arrived at the location. They have other things to worry about.

————————————————

The group hide along the wall, being careful and quiet as they make their way deeper into the restaurant. "Are you sure about now just rushing in there and blowing the place up?" Jimin asks from the back of the group.

Jin rolls his eyes, "Yes, I'm sure, mister gangster. We can just sneak in there, free them, and sneak back out."

"Seems complicated, but fine," Jimin says. The boys swiftly make their way down the hallway and into the kitchen. They look around, trying to find some source of their friends. Suddenly, they hear loud noises coming from the other room. "Hide!" Jungkook exclaims, ducking down behind a shelf. The others do similar things, finding different hiding places around the kitchen. They all remain silent and listen to the loud voices carry. "What do you mean you lost them?" Someone yells.

"We're really sorry, sir," Another says, "We went to help you and we came back and they just weren't here."

"Excuses! How could you let them escape!?" The voice shouts again. The four guys in the kitchen look to one another with similar expressions. From the sounds of it, the other three broke out somehow. Jimin gestures towards the door and the others all nod their heads. They make their way out of the restaurant as quietly as they had made their way in.

————————————————

"They got out," Jungkook states.

"Yeah, they did," Jin says, "The question is, where are they now?"

"They couldn't have gotten far. Let's just get back to the truck and drive around. I'm sure we'll spot them," Jimin says. The others all nod their heads before heading back towards where they parked. When they arrive, they pile in and start driving around. They circle the area for a while, keeping their eyes peeled for three young men. Unfortunately, they don't see any of them anywhere. "What now?" Taehyung asks, "How are we supposed to find them?"

"We live in the age of technology. Let's just call them," Jimin says, "If they escaped, they definitely got their phones back." The boys all nod. Jin pulls over into a parking lot, so they can all take out their phones. They whip out their devices and dial the others' numbers. "I got nothing," Taehyung mutters, "Hobi hyung isn't picking up."

"Same with Yoongi hyung," Jungkook says.

Jin frowns, "It's weird, Yoongi always answers me..."

"Nothing from Namjoon either. Maybe their phones died or they couldn't get service," Jimin reasons.

Taehyung grimaces, "What if something bad happened? What if they ran into crazy people and got hurt?"

"Yah, don't think like that. I'm sure they're fine," Jin says, even though it's clear he doesn't quite believe his own words. The truck falls silent as the group ponders what to do now. Suddenly, a phone starts vibrating and Jimin's eyes widen. His phone buzzes loudly and the others look to him, expecting it to be Namjoon. Jimin reads the caller ID and his face falls, not his brother. Jimin shakes his head to the others, who sink into their seats in disappointment. Jimin sighs before picking up the call and putting it on speaker, too tired to hold the phone up to his ear. "Jihoon, what's up? You're on speaker by the way. I'm with the same guys from before."

Jihoon's voice filters from Jimin's phone, "Your brother is an absolute idiot."

"Hey...what's that supposed to mean? What happened?" Jimin asks,

"You don't know?" Jihoon questions.

"Of course not. I don't even know where my brother is. Much less why you think he's an idiot," Jimin replies. The others listen into the conversation, remaining quiet and allowing for the two to talk with no interruptions. "RAGE has him," Jihoon answers simply, "Want to explain why RAGE has him? Why did RAGE even capture him?" Jimin tenses, remembering who was with the RAGE. He grits his teeth as he thinks of his brother back in the clutches of his father. They should've been more careful. It's clear that the RAGE were able to track them with no problem. That's why Namjoon got caught. Jimin sighs, "We may or may not have looted the RAGE's goods and taken them away in a truck."

"Idiots!" Jihoon exclaims, "You played with fire, Jimin. There's no walking out now."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jimin asks, "Is the RAGE that bad?"

Jihoon scoffs, "Uh, yes. RAGE has been giving us trouble, Jimin. Us. When was the last time, we had trouble."

"Never," Jimin says quietly.

Jihoon states, "Exactly. RAGE are assholes. He hates them you know. Hates them. He hasn't attacked yet because they haven't done anything too extreme. Not to mention, he doesn't know enough about them. Still, they've been pissing him off a lot lately. He's been waiting for an excuse to just attack. Namjoon gave him that."

"Who's him?" Jin questions. Jimin shushes Jin and places his finger over his lips. "Are you saying he wants to wage war with the RAGE?" Jimin questions.

Jihoon sighs, "Do you expect anything less? He was getting ready for a full on attack. We stopped him before he got to far saying that we had to talk to you to clarify some things first."

"He can't attack, Jihoon," Jimin says, "The RAGE has a lot of manpower."

"Yeah, well, according to him we have the same amount, if not stronger," Jihoon states.

"Is that true?" Jimin asks.

"Who knows? He has a lot up his sleeve. A lot that he still won't let us get involved in," Jihoon mutters, "It's ridiculous. He lets us run his gangs but keeps us away from major deals."

"You need to stop him," Jimin says, "He can't attack RAGE. We can't have a full on war."

"You think I don't know this," Jihoon says, "But, you know him. He's stubborn. He's going to need a reason."

"Tell him it's personal. Tell him the second in command of the RAGE is our father," Jimin states.

"What!?" Jin shrieks, "You're father is-"

"I said be quiet!" Jimin exclaims.

"Didn't you think that would be something useful to tell us-" Jin speaks again.

Jimin huffs and slaps Jin on the shoulder, "I said shut up."

"Uncle is a RAGE leader. Huh, the guys are gonna get a kick out of this," Jihoon says, "He's gonna be even more pissed off. Just another reason to add to the list of why we hate the man."

"It'll also distract him from doing anything brash. It gives him more information on the RAGE, which he'll put his entire focus on. Also, tell him that we'll handle Namjoon. We'll get him back and he won't have to worry," Jimin says.

"Wait a minute, we will?" Jin questions, realizing that this means the boys will be going to the RAGE hideout.

"Do you want to be slapped again?" Jimin asks. Jin scowls, but stops talking. "You have the RAGE's base coordinates, don't you?" Jimin asks.

"Yeah, one of the few things we do have on this gang," Jihoon replies, "I'll text it to you."

"Thanks," Jimin says.

"You're welcome," Jihoon answers, "Call me if you need anything. You know I'll rush out there with the others if you need me to." Jimin hums in response before hanging up his phone. "Um...what does this mean?" Jungkook asks with wide eyes.

"It means that they got captured by the RAGE," Taehyung shivers.

"Yeah and we have to go on another rescue mission," Jimin replies, "Only difference is that this one is going to be a lot harder."

You choose!-What should they do?

Option 1-Go in alone
