Chapter 28

Hello, my readers. I just wanted to say thank you for reading and commenting. I really do appreciate it. I also wanted to let you all know that we are nearing the end. This choice is probably the most pivotal in all the story, so choose wisely. It really does determine how this story wraps up. That's all I have to say, let's get into the chapter.

"Can you hack in first?" Namjoon asks, "I want to see what's happening in there." Chan nods and starts to walk towards a hidden door behind the staircase. The others follow as Chan opens the door and plops into a spinning chair. He scoots over to one of the computers. His fingers fly across the keyboard and the clicking sound of the keys echo. The entire group watches and waits as Chan works. "Got it," Chan says, "Screen, please." Seungkwan walks back towards the billiards table and slips his hand underneath it. He presses a button and the side wall parts, revealing a large screen. "Put it up," Seungkwan calls out. Chan clicks a button and the feed that he found blinks onto the screen. "CCTV of the hospital," Chan states, "As requested."

"Good job, Chan-ah," Namjoon says, walking over to the screen. The others follow, gravitating towards it like moths to a light. "There are usually guards posted outside the front door and any other entrances or exits. There should also be some front of the office where the doctors and nurses stay during the purge. They can monitor all of the patients from that room and exit if they need to tend to someone, but otherwise the hospitals are on lockdown the entire time," Jimin announces.

"The RAGE still found a way in," Hoseok mutters.

"Are we sure about that?" Jin asks, gesturing to the screen, "There are still guards where you said they should be." Just as Jin said, the feed shows guards standing with weapons clutched tightly in their hands near their designated locations. Wonwoo stares at the screen for a second before shaking his head, "Those aren't guards. Those are RAGE members."

"How can you tell?" Jungkook asks.

"I can tell," Wonwoo states.

"He's right," Namjoon says, "Look at the CCTV on the right. From what it looks like, that room is the one holding the doctors and nurses." The camera shows guards leaning against the door and applying pressure, as it shutters from someone banging and pushing at it in full force from the inside. "What about the other patients?" Taehyung asks.

"I don't think they know what's happening," Joshua says, "They all seem safe in their rooms."

"That's a good thing though, right?" Yoongi says.

"Yes and no. It means that the RAGE broke in for the sole reason of getting Namjoon and Jimin's mom," Seungcheol says, "Based off of the text your dad sent, the RAGE is using your mom as bait to get a hold of you two. Which leads back to that grudge you were all talking about."

"We have to go save her. She has nothing to do with this," Jimin says.

"Agreed," Jihoon says, "Let's get a move on." The group all turn and head towards the stairs, before they can get very far they are stopped. "Hold on!" Seungcheol shouts, "We cannot all go."

"What do you mean we can't all go?" Jihoon asks,

"It's pointless for us to all go," Seungcheol states, "The CCTV doesn't show that many RAGE men. We don't all need to be there."

"There could be others that are hiding and waiting to come out," Hoseok points out.

"That's true, but we should be able to handle them without us all being there," Seungcheol says,

Namjoon nods, "I agree. We shouldn't all go. This is a big thing, but we need to prepare for the war. We can't all get hurt doing this. Especially the five of you."

"You taught us how to fight," Yoongi huffs.

"I taught you basics. It's not going to be enough to go against the RAGE," Namjoon states, "You five are staying here. Whoever from SVT is staying, will hopefully be willing to train you." The five open their mouths to argue, but close them seconds later, knowing it is futile to argue against Namjoon. The young man looks over to Seungcheol, who is already massaging his temples. The leader prepares for the onslaught of yells and pleas coming his way from his fellow gang members. In seconds, the gang falls into chaos. Their voices blend together and the noise only increases in volume. The five others gravitate towards the other half of the room, letting the mafiosos figure this out. Seungcheol sighs before yelling at his members, "Yah! Be quiet all of you. We don't have time to argue about this. I'll decide whose going and whose coming and that's that. No arguments, understood?" The guys all fall silent and nod their heads, waiting patiently for their assignments. "Good. Jihoon, Seokmin, and Chan are all coming. This is about your aunt, I would never leave you out of a mission this personal. Jeonghan is coming as well since I told him I wouldn't let him sit out next time, so Shua will stay behind. I want Mingyu and Soonyoung with me, Wonwoo stays here and the same goes with Seungkwan. Minghao comes and Jun and Vernon sit this one out," Seungcheol states, "Those that stay behind, train the civvies. I want them to at least be able to take Seokmin."

"Hey! I know how to fight! I'm good at it too!" Seokmin exclaims.

"I never said you weren't a good fighter, but we all know that you're more of a..." Seungcheol starts, trailing off to let Seokmin finish his sentence.

"Hugger than a fighter," Seokmin says with a sheepish smile.

Seungcheol nods and pats the younger on the shoulder, "Alright, let's get going." The group on the mission start to leave when a ringing sound stops them. The members of SVT all freeze and turn their gazes to an old phone sitting on a side table. Seungkwan walks over to it and lifts up the phone, he presses a button and places it on the table. "Yes?" Seungcheol questions.

"Seungcheol, have you seen the picture-," Jihoon, Chan, and Seokmin's father starts.

"Yes, sir, Namjoon and Jimin are with us right now," Seungcheol calls out.

"Namjoon and Jimin?" The mafia man says in surprise.

"Hello, Uncle Wooshin," Namjoon and Jimin say in unison.

"It's been so long since I've last heard your voices," Wooshin starts to say in a reminiscing tone.

"Dad, did you call us for a reason?" Jihoon says, "We're in the middle of something."

"Yes, your grandfather is angry," Wooshin continues.

"Angry enough to go to war with the RAGE?" Jimin asks.

"Yes, he's preparing for a full out war. He's contacted everyone," Wooshin explains, "My sister..."

"Don't worry, we were heading out now to rescue her," Seungcheol says.

Wooshin lets out a breath of relief, "Good. Keep my little sister safe."

"Of course, sir," Seungcheol says, before the mafioso hangs up and a dial tone rings through the phone. Seungkwan places the phone back down and looks at the group expectantly. "Get going," Seungkwan says, "I don't know how patient the RAGE are going to be."

————————————————

The boys all lean against the side of the hospital walls, waiting to charge in. They each have weapons strapped to their bodies, from guns to more traditional weapons like sais. "Okay, the five of you go save your mom slash aunt. You know where the room is, right?" Seungcheol says. Namjoon and Jimin nods their heads. "Good," Seungcheol states, "Mingyu. Soonyoung, and I will cover you. We'll take out as many guys as we can. I can't promise that you won't have to fight off some of your own though, so be careful. Jeonghan and Minghao, take out as many men as you can and then go save the doctors and security guards. Is everyone clear with how this is going to go?" The group nod their heads and tighten their grips on their weapons. "Alright, let's make these idiots regret threatening the mafia," Seungcheol states, before turning the corner and charging forward. The leader fires off his gun, killing the two men that stand right outside the door. Mingyu and Soonyoung rams into the door with all their strength. The doors fly open and the group charges inside. They are met with shouts and bullets. They take cover where they can and shoot back at the men. Their aim is better than the RAGE's and they take down a couple with ease. "Go!" Seungcheol yells as the rain of bullets slows for a couple of seconds. The five take off running, covering their heads as the guns start to go off again. Namjoon and Jimin lead the group down the hallway, their weapons ready to hit anyone. Jihoon fires off his pistol occasionally while they run while Chan does the same with his own gun. Seokmin slams his spear at anyone who gets too close. "One more right and down the hall!" Namjoon shouts as they run. The group turns a corner and are met with a bunch more men. They fire their guns as they run, taking on some hand to hand if necessary. Jimin flips over a couple of men and pushes them into each other before firing his gun at them. Namjoon unsheathes his sword and swings it while firing his gun at the same time. Seokmin and Jihoon work in tandem to take down a bunch of guys. Chan breezes through the men with no issues, firing his gun and delivering powerful kicks to take down a bunch of guys. Soon enough, the hallway is clear and they hear the shouts of Seungcheol from behind them. They turn to see the leader with Mingyu and Soonyoung by his sides. They all have sweat along their brows, but other than that not a single injury. "We'll take care of the next hallway," Seungcheol says, moving to the front. The five nod their heads and the entire group turns to charge forward. Seungcheol, Mingyu, and Soonyoung bulldoze through the hallway, making a clear path for the five to charge down. They rush down the hallway and are met with a door. "She's in there," Namjoon says, reaching for the doorknob. Before he can, a bullet hits the knob, breaking it. Namjoon recoils and looks to his left, where the bullet came from. He is met with a large group of men, who appeared out of nowhere. "Where the hell did those guys come from?" Jimin says, gritting his teeth. The men point their weapons at the five boys, preparing to fire. "I knew there were others that the CCTV didn't capture," Jihoon huffs.

"Guys, they're going to start shooting any second," Seokmin says through gritted teeth.

"That's why we'll handle them," Chan says, looking at his cousins, "You two go save Auntie." Namjoon and Jimin nod, readying their weapons. The group exchange looks to one another once again before acting. Chan, Jihoon, and Seokmin charge at the RAGE, killing the men left and right. Namjoon rushes at the door, using his entire strength to push it open. The door flies open with a boom and the brothers rush inside. Their eyes widen as they are met with their father and mother. Miran has bruises and cuts along her face, her hair disheveled and her jaw locked. Her ex-husband holds her tightly around the neck with a pistol in his other hand. The barrel of the gun is pressed to the woman's temple and Donghyuk's finger hovers above the trigger. The brothers stare at the scene in front of them with wary gazes. They need to act carefully. Their mother is in a precarious situation and they don't want her to be hurt. Donghyuk smirks, "Hello, children. It's been so long since the four of us have been together. It's a family reunion."

"Let my mother go, you bastard," Namjoon seethes.

Donghyuk scoffs, "That's not how you speak to your father."

"Shut up, Donghyuk. You are not their father. You are nothing, but dirt!" Miran spat. The man scowls and tightens his grip on Miran's neck. The woman winces as Donghyuk tightens his grip of her throat, making it harder for her to breathe. "Mother!" Jimin yells in worry.

"I-I'm fine, Jimin-ah," Miran coughs out.

Donghyuk rolls his eyes, "Yes, yes, she'll be fine, but that can all change very fast you know."

"What do you want, Donghyuk?" Namjoon questions, "Do you know what you have caused by laying a hand on my mother?"

"I have an idea," Donghyuk says with a sick smile, "It's going exactly as I planned."

"You wanted all of this, didn't you?" Jimin growls, "You wanted the mafia to declare war."

"I thought you wanted us. For stealing from you and running away," Namjoon states.

"Of course, I did, but the bigger picture has always been the mafia. Whatever it took, it was all to get to the mafia. All our attempts of capturing you was to rile him up and get him to declare war," Donghyuk grins, "It's been the plan the entire time. You see...it's high time the mafia falls." Namjoon and Jimin exchange a look before turning back to glare at their father. "To who, to you?!" Namjoon shouts, "Don't make me laugh. The mafia will never fall to you and your idiotic RAGE. Your group is nothing more than second hand gangster trash!"

"The RAGE is so much more than that, you stupid boy. We have grown to the strength of the mafia. We have surpassed it!" Donghyuk says, "You shall see, stupid children! When the battle lines are drawn, the RAGE will kill you all! The RAGE will slaughter your cousins, little Dino and Dokeyom and Woozi. They will bash in the heads of Wonho and Jinyoung. I will personally slit the throats of your aunt and uncles. We will torture your grandfather until he begs for death!!! You shall see! And you shall suffer!"

"That will not happen. Nothing's changed, father. You're still a cocky asshole. Still a good for nothing gold-digger. A useless piece of shit," Jimin says, his lips curling up a little.

Donghyuk glares at his son, "You shouldn't speak like that when I have your mother in my hands!" He presses the cold metal of the gun harder against Miran's temple. The woman grits her teeth and struggles in the man's grasp. "We're going to save her because you're nothing. You were nothing and you still are nothing. You think you have it all figured out. You think you can take down the mafia when the RAGE is nothing. You think your guns can take us down. The mafia's are ten times the size of yours. You think you have more men than us. The mafia are a network so extensive that you can't even account for all that are with us. You think you're strong, but our men are machines. They are bred to fight. Bred to protect. Bred to bring honor to the mafia. They are everything that you are not. They are everything and you are nothing. You will always be nothing. You will always have nothing! You won't be remembered. You won't be mentioned. Nothing. That's all you are. A good for nothing man," Namjoon exclaims, staring right into his father's eyes with malice. Donghyuk stares back at his son, his face turning red at his son's words. "Shut up," Donghyuk states.

"Why? Cause you know what I said is true?" Namjoon asks.

"I will kill you!" Donghyuk shrieks, his arms lowering from around Miran's neck. His anger fuels his thoughts as he tilts the gun away from her ex-wife's head. The man points the gun at Namjoon and fires it. Jimin tackles his brother to the ground and the bullet lodges itself into the wall. Donghyuk scowls, but Miran smirks. Due to her sons' distraction, Donghyuk has let Miran go. The woman uses this to her advantages. She slams her fist into Donghyuk's hand, knocking the gun to the floor. Donghyuk lets out a yell in shock, but before he can do anything, Miran acts again. She grabs onto his arm and flips him over her shoulder. She slams his body onto a side table and holds his neck with her hand. The table shatters underneath Donghyuk and Miran uses her other hand to grab a broken table leg. She slams it onto Donghyuk's head before standing back up. Miran lets out a sigh and fixes her hair, "Idiot. I may have left the mafia, but the mafia has never left me."

"Mom...are you okay?" Jimin asks, getting up from the floor.

"I'm fine, are you two alright?" Miran questions. Jimin nods his head and helps his brother to his feet. The two stare at their father, who has blood trailing down his forehead. "Is he?" Namjoon asks.

Miran shakes her head, "He's breathing. I'd rather him not be, but I held back."

"That's fine. We can take him to grandfather," Namjoon states, "He'll pay for what he did."

"He's going to wage a war, isn't he?" Miran questions. Jimin nods as his mother massages her temples. Her sons walk over to her and help her to sit back on the hospital bed. "You're joining him, aren't you?" Miran asks. The two brothers look at one another before giving their mother guilty expressions. "I won't stop you, but please, be safe," Miran says.

"We will, don't worry," Namjoon says. Suddenly, Jihoon, Chan, and Seokmin burst into the room. Their hair is all disheveled and they are no longer carrying any weapons. There are no injuries on them except for a little scratch on Jihoon's cheek. The brothers survey the room and eye the fallen man in the corner. "Did you guys do that?" Chan asks, looking at his cousins.

Jimin shakes his head, "That was all mom."

"Wow, you're still as awesome as I remember Auntie," Seokmin says with a grin.

Miran smiles back, "Of course, Dokyeom-ah. Do you expect anything less from me?" Seokmin shakes his head and beams at his aunt. "You boys be careful, alright?" Miran says, "I don't want any of you shipped to the hospital when this war is over."

"Yes, ma'am," The boys all say in unison. The sounds of footsteps echo through the hallway and everyone tenses, expecting to be bombarded with more RAGE men. "Guys!" Seungcheol exclaims as the others appear by the doorway, "Are you all okay?" The group all relax as they see who it is. "We're fine, Cheollie," Miran says, "Thank you for coming to save me. None of you have been hurt, correct?"

"We're all safe, ma'am. You don't need to thank us, we always look out for our own," Seungcheol says, "I'm sorry to cut our conversation short but we should get going. The head will most likely call soon and the real battle is going to start. The doctors and security should be able to handle everything here. And, we'll deal with Donghyuk." The leader gestures to Mingyu, who walks over and picks up Donghyuk's limp form with ease. The boys say their goodbyes and file out the door. Jimin and Namjoon quickly hug their mom, promising to return to the hospital to visit soon.

————————————————

When they get outside, the boys work together to tie up Donghyuk. They toss him into the back of their car when they finish. They're just about to get into their cars and leave when they are graced with a phone call. Seungcheol answers the call, placing it on speaker without a second thought. "Did you save my daughter?" The head questions instantly.

"Yes, sir," Seungcheol states, "You're daughter is safe and we have Donghyuk with us."

"Good," The head states, "We are preparing at the headquarters. I hope that you will join us," Seungcheol is about to confirm with the leader when Jeonghan stops him. Seungcheol looks to the other with a questioning glance. "We could just head to the RAGE facility right away. All of us meeting up and bombarding them. They won't know what's coming. We don't need to plan. Not to mention, we have one of their leaders. They may surrender right away," Jeonghan states.

Namjoon frowns, "No offense, but that's a horrific idea. If we don't have a plan, the RAGE could hurt us all. They could kill us all. We can't have that happening."

Jeonghan shrugs, "It's just a suggestion. We don't need to go with it if we don't want to."

You choose!-What should they do?

Option 1-Meet up at the RAGE hideout and fight right away

Option 2-Meet up to make a plan to take on the RAGE

I hope that you guys liked it. They saved their mom and they're preparing the cavalry. Once again, the choice for this chapter determines where the story will go, so please choose wisely. I know I'm sounding repetitive, but I want to let you know how important it is.
