Chapter 23: Questions
Hey~! I'm back in America. And back with another chapter. Thanks for your patience. 😊
Author's POV:
"Please just...try"
"The last thing I remember clearly was being at work. I got a promotion. I was really excited until I realized what had to have happened if I got it. I rushed out of my office to call Jimin to warn him, but then..." Tae suddenly paused.
"But then what?" Yoongi urged him to continue.
"Then-"
Knock Knock Knock
The two flinched at the sudden sound and turned to the door. Then they turned back to each other as if they had the same thought. Considering the fact that there was a killer on the loose targeting Tae, they were hesitant to respond. After a moment of silence, Taehyung finally answered.
"W-who is it?"
"It's the police. We're here to ask you a few questions about you case." Tae let out a sigh of relief as did Yoongi.
"Come in." The door opened revealing three officers, and Detective Namjoon, who had just returned from the station after chewing everyone out for the way they treated Jimin.

~Earlier~
"What kind of place are you running here? It's so unorganized, not to mention the fact that you didn't mirandize him or give him any of his basic rights!" Namjoon shouted at the cops who arrested Jimin before.
"Sir-"
"Detective." Namjoon stated.
"Sorry. Detective we were only doing what the chief ordered. We were confused by his tactics as well, but we can't necessarily question him. He's our boss." The officer on the left spoke.
"Well where is he. I would like to have a word with him."
"He's not here. He went on vacation with his family for two weeks. It was apart of the promotion he just received." The other on the right replied.
"Well how convenient." Namjoon scoffed. Just then the phone started to ring. The officer on the right motioned towards it, but Namjoon answered it before he could.
"Detective Kim speaking. Yes... Yes.. I see. Thank you. I'll be right there."
"What's going on?" The officer on the left asked.
"It's none of your concern anymore. Me and my crew will be taking over this station and this case until further notice. Trust me when I say that I'm going to find the corrupted mole and put him up for good." Namjoon stormed out of the room slamming the door behind him.
He made his way over to a crime seen that was just reported not to long ago by a couple. According to the phone call he just received, there had been a murder and an attempted one. He knew nothing about the victims until he got there. His heart stopped when he looked at the body being hoisted up onto the gurney.
"H-Hobi? N-no.. no it can't be." A tear started to form in his eye but he had to quickly pull himself together. He needed to find out what happened before he jumped to assumptions, even though he could take a good guess. "What happened here?" He asked one of the first responding officers.
"A couple decided to take a shortcut home and happened upon this warehouse. The said they heard groans and moans of pain echoing from inside, so they called us. It's a good thing they did or we wouldn't have been able to save that mans life." The officer said pointing to Tae who was still unconscious. "As for the other.. we were too late."
"Do you know the survivors name?"
"His identification label him as Kim Taehyung." Now Namjoon was sure his suspicions were right. He just wish he could have do something to help before it got to this point. "There's one more thing."
"What is it?"
"Around the dead body, we found two sets of prints, but only one pair leaving the building."
"That means there was another person here besides the two victims and the killer."
"Right."
"But since only one pair of foot prints left that means that there should have been another body somewhere, that is if the person was killed as well."
"Yes, but we searched and there was no other body, nor any signs that the other person was hurt in anyway."
"Which is confusing. The person is not here, but there are no signs of them leaving."
"Exactly. We are still trying to figure out what happened to the other person. We need your expertise detective. No one can figure this out but you."
"Ok, I already have an idea, but not enough to proof or information just yet to be able to give a clear answer. Give me some time to think on it. In the meantime, make sure to block this area off. Don't talk to the press too much. Only tell them the two victims and the murderer. Do not mention the fourth person until we have more answers. While you do that I'll go to the hospital to question the survivor."
"Yes sir-"
Ring~ ring~
"What's that?" Namjoon furrowed his brow.
"It sounds like a phone. I think it's coming from the body. I'll check it out. You go on."
"Ok. Thanks officer Hun."
"No problem."

~Present Time~
"Hello I'm detective Namjoon."
"Hi. I'm Taehyung." Tae reached out his hand and Namjoon shook it.
"And is this a friend of yours?" Namjoon asked referring to Yoongi.
"Yes. I'm Yoongi. Nice to meet you." Yoongi replied shaking his hand as well.
"It's nice to meet you too, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave while we question him."
"What? No. He was just about to tell me some important information. I can't leave now." Yoongi frowned.
"It's ok Yoongi. I'll let you know after we're done here." Tae smiled reassuringly.
Yoongi still didn't want to go but it looked like he had no choice. He decided to be patient and go wait out in the lobby.

Jimin's POV:
After what seemed like a while, the ropes on my arms and legs loosened. Is.. is someone here to save me?
I'm excited, but I still don't dare peek for the fear it might still be him. After this person took the ropes, they used a wet cloth to clean me. Once I was clean, they covered my body with the bed covers making sure I was tucked in tightly. It was so... motherly. It couldn't have been Jungkook. Once the figure started for the door, I finally peeked. It was a very tall man with broad shoulders. He wasn't Jungkook, so who is he?
"W-wait." I croacked our making the tall man freeze. He slowly turned to face me. He was beautiful. He looked like an actor of some sort. "W-who are you?"
"Hello Jimin. Get some rest hun. You look exhausted." He gently pushed me back down when I tried to sit up.
"You know me?"
"Not really, but I kinda feel like I do. You're all that Jungkook talks about."
"Jungkook talked to you about me?" I furrowed my brow.
"Yes. He seems to really love you, but now it's sleep time. We'll catch up in the morning." He stood up to leave again.
"Wait wait! Can't I at least know your name?"
"I'm Seokjin, but you can just call me Jin." He smiled and left. Seokjin. Maybe he can help me get away. Or maybe he's in on this too. I don't know anymore. I'll have to ask when Jungkook's not around. I can't see anyone else get hurt because of me anymore.
