Queen's POV

I sighed as I sat on my desk trying hard to concentrate. This was my third day here and so far I had tried my best not to interact with anyone to not give my identity away. I also avoided working a lot, sitting in the washroom most of the time to hide.

There was a very talkative bitch here called Hyewon. From the way she talked, it seemed her and Sua were good friends. But I couldn't stand her at all. I believe I could do very well without knowing about her sex life and how it had gone downhill these days since her fiance was always tired and in fatigue.

It was most likely that the man was hoeing around. And that is why was always tired. But if I told her that, I'd have to deal with her crying and breaking down and I don't think I could do that.

After I had asked Baekhyun to dig up details about Officer Kang's informant and manipulate him into making Officer Kang believe Bangtan as the prime suspect, I expected some development. Three days had passed and he hadn't called me once to talk about this case.

Just when I got a little comfortable in my seat, the phone on my desk rang. I picked up the receiver and placed it on my ear.

"Sua, its officer Kang. Come to my office right now"

And a smirk formed on my face.

Lets get it.

Third person POV

Taehyung stood outside the club where Queen had been shot.

This club belonged to her. And it was quite ironic an assassination attempt had happened here where she was at her most powerful. He still liked to believe it was an attempt which unfortunately wasn't successful. EXO was hiding something and Queen for sure had gone underground.

He walked towards the club. As he opened the door, it was empty inside. He adjusted the mask on his face to conceal his identity. Couldn't let people know that he was on enemy territory.

Just as he was looking around, the cold barrel of a gun touched his head making him freeze in his movements.

"Can I help you?", a thick voice behind him spoke. He heard the clocking of a gun and he slowly turned around. An unfamiliar face greeted him. He hadn't seen this person around.

"Remove that mask"

Taehyung did as he was asked.

"Kim Taehyung", the man was taken aback for a second but smirked. "What brings you here? In the middle of the day that too? Are you aware who this club belongs too?"

"I am", Taehyung chuckled. "Heard from friends the bloody Mary here was quite delicious. Wanted to come try it. Life's been tough these days. I have resorted to drinking in the middle of the day. Unfortunately the bar's closed. I didn't catch your name though. You must be?"

The unknown man chuckled and lowered his gun. "Wonho", the man calmly replied.

"Mind introducing yourself Wonho?"

"I run my own little gang. We deal in weapons. Russian Roses and Black venom to be precise. The best stuff all the way from Serbia and Ukraine. We sell it all 3/4th price of the original. Not only that American guns as well. Deadliest lot, name any and we have it"

"Thats interesting", Taehyung raised an eyebrow. "Was it your business pitch for me?"

"Accurate", Wonho's lips curved up. "Glad I did not have to beat around the bush"

"What brings you here?", Taehyung cross questioned. "If you are roaming around on EXO's property in the dead of the night, you either must have a relation with them or like me are looking for something"

"I did have a relation with Queen. Not with the boys. I don't trust them and Suho now. Especially the ones from China. Oh what a pleasure it would be to wipe the cocky smirk off Huang ZiTao's face", with that the anger on Wonho's face intensified.

"Clearly you and I share the same passion", Taehyung said taking a step forward. "And a mutual hate for the same people. And as you have probably heard numerous times. Your enemy's enemy is your friend"

"What do you want from me?", Wonho was tempted but he needed to weight the pros and cons of joining. Bangtan was no ordinary Mafia and he didn't want to create trouble for himself. "The only thing I can provide you is guns. I know you guys would never need someone like me considering you have a whole supplier network in Moscow. I don't really serve you any purpose yet you want me to join you"

"You serve us and specially me a lot of purpose", Taehyung said putting a hand on Wonho's shoulder. "But its not for guns. The Russian Roses you sell are one of the flashiest yet the most useless guns I have seen. They are heavy and impractical to use. They make you look stylish but what use is style if the god damn thing can't even protect you? What I specifically want from you is intel"

"Intel?", Wonho was puzzled.

"Yes Intel. I want you to tell me everything you know about Queen"

"Why do you want to know about Queen? She died a week ago. What use is she now"

"Oh she is a lot of use to me", Taehyung chuckled. "Plus. Aren't stories about the dead always fun!?", a mischief settled in his eyes as he said that.

Queen's POV

No one spoke anything. Everyone was just staring ahead Chief Kang. He on the other hand fiddled with his fingers. The people around me weren't familiar. They seemed like they were from some other department.

Sua as I knew worked on cold cases. These were the cases that were years or probably decades old and needed closure. I didn't even know some department like this existed until I substituted for her. I just thought that if the police found no lead, they'd abandon the cases like my parents abandoned me.

The others here were from a specialised agency called the Crime Bureau. This department I was very well familiar with.

Because I kept it running. They were earning because of my antics. I was their bread and butter. They had so many cases to solve and earn a living because of EXO. They owed their careers to me.

Chief Kang cleared his throat and I looked up.

"So everyone. Sorry first of all. To have you on such short notice. Its kind of an emergency. Dr Lee Taemin from the forensic department brought some new evidence for us. Turns out we have been chasing the wrong rats.."

Did he just call us rats!?

"New evidence says that Bangtan is behind the killing of Mason Choi"

A slew of murmurs filled the room. Everyone settled down once Chief Kang resumed.

"We need to investigate Bangtan. But..", a sigh left his mouth. "Our warrant got refused. The judge who was assigned was Mr Baek Saeho and I am pretty sure everyone in this room knows where his reputation lies"

Baek Saeho. Bangtan's pawn. The most corrupt judge to ever grace the judicial system in this country. He had been known to take tons of money from Bangtan and acquit them from a lot of cases.

"Investigation as a result will not be possible. And we cannot let go of this lead. That is why we are in a sticky situation. We have no right to check their properties or warehouses. And without that we cannot get concrete evidence"

All of us were quiet until a young man spoke up. Jang Haneul his name tag said.

"Sir how about an off record raid?"

"Off-record raid?", Chief Kang was puzzled. It seemed like he didn't like what he heard.

But I loved the sound of it.

"Yes", Haneul spoke up. "We make a team. We infiltrate their mansion. Raid Kim Namjoon's office and find evidence. He keeps all his records in the office as I have been informed before. We get there we will find evidence to our case"

"Haneul", a woman name Lieh spoke. "Do you know what you are implying? Its off record. We will have no back up. No support. If something were to go down, no one's coming for us. It's basically suicide"

"Lets do it when Bangtan is not in town. My informant has said that they are visiting an event in Beijing this Sunday. All of them. He confirmed seeing them on the guest list and provided me this information. We can do a quick sneak and come out undetected", a third man named Jaemin spoke.

Chief Kang pinched his nose bridge in confusion. He wanted to say something until the door opened and one of the station helpers Boram walked in with coffee for everyone.

"Haneul, Jaemin you heard Lieh. You know what risk you put yourself in by raiding their property? I cannot allow this. The upper officials will be pissed and mad if they come to know. I don't want to take names but all of us in this room know some of our seniors that are good friends with Bangtan"

"Its our only choice", Haneul sighed. "We have to stop the menace of these gangs. We didn't enter this profession to just hide in a timid manner when things got tough. Its high time we put an end to the terror so citizens of our country can live in peace again. We start with Bangtan.."

Good boy Haneul. Yes!! lets destroy Bangtan for good. Thats the spirit.

"And then we end Queen and EXO"

Fuck you, Haneul.

The room fell into a silence. Everyone was occupied with their own thoughts. I eagerly waited for everyone to answer.

"We do it", Chief Kang gave his verdict. "The mission is on. I don't care about the upper officials. We will take care of them when the need arises. Who wants to be in the team? From your argument, I presume Haneul and Jaemin you both are in. What about you Lieh?"

Lieh sighed but shook her head. "If this is what the team wants, I will do it"

Chief Kang smiled at her in appreciation. He then turned to the others. "Myungdae, Hyemi, Rawon, Byung Ho and Justin?"

All except for a lady name Hyemi agreed.

"So we have the team—"

"CHIEF", I yelled. The whole room looked at me. "I want in"

"Sua? You want to be on field?", a confused expression crept up on Chief Kang's face.

"Yes Sir", I replied.

"But you have never been on missions like this. Can you handle this?"

"Absolutely Sir"

"Are you sure?", he asked concerned.

A victorious smile perched my face. "Never been more sure of anything in my life sir"

Third Person POV

Jang Lin worked as a junior level goon for Bangtan. He was referred to them by a local dealer who was called Hyungnim in their area. After which he joined Bangtan, protecting the boys whenever the need was and occasionally transporting drugs around.

Lin recieved a call in the middle of work from a man he hadn't talk to in months.

Lee Boram. An old acquaintance.

"Hello"

"Its me Boram", a deep voice spoke.

"I know its you Boram. What is it? And why are you calling me now? Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

"I have news for you. News that will get you promoted"

Lin immediately straightened up. He looked around to see some fellow goons playing cards so he distanced himself from them.

"What is it?"

Boram chuckled. "It comes at a price. 500,000 won, two packets of hash and a night at the infamous brothel in the red zone which you visit"

"Fine. It better be good", Lin's fist clenched.

"Meet me with the money and Hash at the alley behind the Bangtan mansion in one hour. I will give it to you in person. The police department is planning a raid at Bangtan's property and I have all details of it"

Lin's eyes widened as he heard this. Today was the day his ranks rose in the Bangtan Mafia.

Third Person POV

Suho waited on the rooftop of a complex where Queen had asked him to. A black hoodie covered his head and a mask, his face. He heard a scruff of shoes and he looked to the side to see Queen jumping over a neighbor's terrace into his space.

"Hyelin, there's stairs. You didn't have to show your Parkour skills"

"I know Suho. But theres also police officers downstairs having dinner in a restaurant. And I didn't want to risk it"

Suho nodded in understanding. "Why did you call me here?"

"I am doing something crazy. And I need to tell you about it.."

"Hyelin", Suho spoke. "Everytime you have said this line, my blood pressure rises a couple points"

Hyelin chuckled. "This time it might go a hundred points above then. The police department Sua works at is planning to raid Bangtan's mansion and I am following them in there"

Suho was stunned as he gained his composure. "Hyelin we cannot do that. That is suicide. Especially since they are already on your tail. Taehyung suspects you are alive. And if you are discovered, it wouldn't take them time to figure its you. We don't know what Takahashi spilled to them before he died. Its a big gamble"

"I know Suho", Hyelin nodded. "But first of all. Bangtan is heading to China when the raid happens. The only people behind protecting would be low level goons and henchmen. I don't think they should be hard to deal with. Plus you know the kind of intel I can gather if I get into Namjoon's office. His dealers, his clients, his allies, his warehouses, the finances, account books... EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING THAT WILL HELP DESTROY THEM—"

"Hyelin"

Hyelin realized she got carried away so stopped the moment Suho spoke her name.

"Are you sure?", he removed his mask and Queen could see the worry on his face. They were no longer talking as Mafia members. Somewhere in Suho's tone was a familial concern for her. "I don't want anything to happen to you. If something goes wrong, what about EXO?"

"Junmyeon"

Hyelin never called him Junmyeon, so it took the male by surprise.

"If anything happens to me, I will die peacefully because I know you are there to lead them. The last thing on my mind will be worry for you all because the rest of EXO has you"

"You will be okay. Don't say things like that", Suho glared at her.

"I will be okay. I just said it to make you feel better. Also to make it a little sentimental so the readers can feel it", she pat his back with a chuckle. "And you know me. I am not a piece that falls easily, am I?"

"I know that", Suho smiled with pride. "That is why we call you Queen"
