"Gosh, how many more to go? " I dropped the papers in the tables and yawned, sluggishly leaning in my chair.

I really didn't care about my manners at that point. I was totally drained by the workload. Should have guessed that Namjoon gave us a day off yesterday because of this. Man, my back hurts. Flicking through some pile of papers all day wasn't fun at all.

The task was to research the missing and dead kids ten years back then. Piles of newspapers and printed A4s were all over the big table. It was like FBI agent's office with files of cases to solve, trying to find the criminals. How funny, we were  the actual criminals here.

No matter how hard we searched, there wasn't any clue about the girl. I was amused by seeing how many premature deaths had occurred that year. It was the same year I left this town for good. Car accidents, people suddenly going missing, sudden deaths, it was like a zombie apocalypse. What a terrible year

Another thing I noticed was that Ki Sung's whoever cousin wasn't mentioned anywhere. Among all those deaths, Ki Sung's name or anything related to him wasn't mentioned.

Namjoon explained me what really happened when I queried from him.

Ki Sung has lied about their death, he had hid the truth and spread that his cousin's family has moved to another country. Being known as a good man in front of the world, had made him easy to do things. No one knew that he was the mob boss under any circumstances. He was a dangerous person than I thought. He is a man who grins, while having a knife in his back.

This man got to be the most cunning and dangerous mafia leader of all.

While I was checking all those articles, I saw how many lies had been written there. They were filled with baloney. Ki Sung was a hero, a successful man to their eyes. How much of the truth was written here? I doubt the veracity of all these things written about him cause I saw who he truly is.

Wait till this ends, I'm going to find what you have to do with my family,

I had been thinking about myself after what happened yesterday. How long am I going to hide my true identity to the boys? Yesterday I realized that I was secured when I'm near them, they always had my back. But will they be the same if I spill the beans? I was bewildered by my thoughts. Half of me wanted to tell the truth, but again I wanted to wait till this finished.

I glanced at others,

Everyone was busy with work. It was like a small office. All of us had something to do. We had been working since morning. Hoseok and Yoongi were gone out  to meet the men who worked under Bang on those days. Hoseok suggested that ,at least one of them might have seen what happened to the girl Ki Sung was finding.

Later on, Jin explained to me that the man who was killed the other day was Ki Sung's right-hand man. He had committed so many crimes under Ki Sung's orders. Bang was the most faithful servant he had. He knew Ki Sung's every dark secret. Eventually, he wanted to run away from mafia, stop doing all the illegal stuff and live a good life with the wealth he gathered from his underworld games . I felt less guilty after hearing all of this.

Who could've thought that? At least, he wasn't an innocent man who we sent to death last night right?

Ki Sung was acting strange about this mission. He didn't give us the information directly like he did in the previous. He wasn't willing to tell us about any information about the family he had murdered. Not even their names, he just said " Find the girl". He was hiding something more than this.

Namjoon is indeed smart enough to track things, but even for him, it was difficult this time because that guy, Bang had paid his men to cover the evidence. Namjoon discovered that Bang had successfully covered the confirmations about the mission so Ki Sung wouldn't find out. With his luck, something must've missed, that's why Ki Sung found out about it lately. Bang's men had dismissed after his last mission. They were no longer one gang, his other gang members had joined other underworld gangs after they got abandoned by their leader.

Hoseok and Yoongi had been working hard to find the other gang members. It was probably worth a shot to meet them in person, cause they might have a clue about what happened that day, about how Bang obscured the truth. It was his last mission Ki Sung gave him.

"Yeong Seok-ah, check out the papers around June and July, I assume ,that's the time it happened according to my calculations," I let out a snort as he talked so seriously like a scientist.

"You know what, I think she actually might have died,"I massaged my neck and stretched my arms, trying to relax my stiffened muscles. Namjoon flickered at me, looking under from his round glasses. He looked even more decent when he wore them.

"We can not drop to conclusions like that Yeong Seok-ah, we have to find what happened to her no matter what," I sluggishly leaned my body on the desk, hearing his strict and firm words. I was worn out by the course we had.

"Look at that man, I'll bet my all Gucci shirts that he's a spy," Taehyung was looking through the window. I peered at the direction he was looking.

The man out there looked like a normal person to me. But as I was staring longer, I noticed that even he looked like he was on a phone call, his eyes were actually glued at our discretion. If it wasn't for Taehyung's comment, I would've thought that it was just a random person who was strolling down the streets.

" There were few of them around our house recently, why is he doing this? It's not like we are hiding anything from him for Jesus sake," Jimin frustratingly groaned, moving his fallen bangs away from his face. He was lazily swiping through some pages while sitting next to Jungkook who was acting weird today.

Sometimes I caught Jungkook staring at me, when I noticed that from the corner of my eyes, I glanced at him. He immediately looked away like we was caught doing something illegal. After I drift my attention to somewhere else, he again starts staring at me.

What's with him today? Is there something wrong with my face?

I pulled out my phone and switched the camera to selfie mode to make sure that there is nothing weird or is in my face. Something is seriously wrong with this man today.

Jin too, glanced at outside. "That's odd, he never used to send spies at us like this even he usually send one just to drop by and check everything is going well. Something off is going on with him lately," Bangtan was the best team afterall. Even the little hints were enough for them to suspect if something out of track is going on. They even know when they see a spy,

"I seriously hate being watched like this. I swear to god, that they'll have to deal with my gun if they mess up with us," out of the blue, Jungkook suddenly snarled by seeing the men. I wasn't surprised when I saw his fuming face cause I knew how much he hated Ki Sung for some reason. Namjoon turned at him and calmed his down.

"We are ok as long as they keep their distance, " He says switched off the laptop and glanced at us,

"Only thing I found that can be related to this case is the accident happened to a little girl named Kim Cho-Hee,"

"I saw that news on a couple of papers. It happened around July I guess" Jin agreed with him, putting away the paper in his hand. Jimin cracked his knuckles to shrug the stiffness of his body and glanced at them,

"You think they dug up the body after she was buried?" He asked.

"Well, I can't assure that Jimin, It maybe happened or maybe not,"

I heard a sound of a car engine heading towards the house. In a minute both Yoongi and Hoseok showed up in front of us. As I looked at their enthusiastic faces, I could tell that they had found something.

"Found anything?" Taehyung asked, glancing at both of them. Yoongi started talking, without even bothering to settle down in a seat.

"There is this man called Kang Sung-Jin. He was the closest man of Bang," he explained to us.  "Has he joined another gang?" Namjoon queried. Yoongi shook his head "No, he had left the mafia just like Dohyung,"

"He must know something, Do you know where he lives?" Jungkook aroused from his seat , getting ready to go on the mission right away.

"That's the problem, Kook. The only thing we know about him is that he lives somewhere in this town, as we got to know, he didn't left the town, he's just keeping a low profile here. We need to find him" Hoseok's voice was sharp and full of determination.

"Let's split up and search for him. He's somewhere here" Jungkook glanced at Namjoon asking for permission. He didn't deny his suggestion because he knew Jungkook is telling the right thing to do.

"Kook is right, everyone, Let's move now. He got a man to catch,"

Not wasting any more time we all left the house to find him, and this time we went together in their van. From the information Yoongi and Hoseok gathered, this was  the description of him. A man in his fifty's with a big noticeable black mole on his left cheek. Not much tall and his one leg is limping due to an accident that happened while shooting. Well, these information was more than enough at that moment since we didn't have any other leads.

I was happy that I didn't had to spend the rest of the day digging through some piles of papers. This was atleast exciting to do, but it was tough as well. We had to separate our ways and look through every corner that we could guess he would be. The list included bars, cafes , clubs and many other public places. Namjoon told is to be vigilant, especially he said that he could be in a public place cause it was the last place someone would guess if they want to catch him. While searching through these places , I came across Taehyung who was walking in the opposite direction.

"We are going on circles," he frustratingly groaned as I told him that I didn't find anything.

"My legs hurt. Where the heck is he?" He sat on a bench in front of the church giving, rest to his tired feet. I decided to stop for a while and accompany him. Taking that as an excuse, I took my chance to take a break.  Before it took long, Jimin met us while we were taking a rest there. He hadn't found anything useful either. While he was talking to Taehyung I roamed my eyes in the church garden.

I gasped as I saw the man who was watering the rose bushes.

He is the man, I'm damn sure it's him,

He was dragging his leg with a difficulty as he changed his position. When he turned, I saw the big mole in his cheek. He was the exactly the man Hoseok described us. I poked Jimin's arm and gained his attention,

"Jimin! It's him, look, he has a huge mole on his left," I whispered to him in a low voice. His eyes winded as he carefully took a peek at him. Taehyung too looked at that direction.

"That's the man, I'm hundred percent sure that it's him" he said in a low voice.

"You go and call the others here while I and Yeong Seok try to by some time," Jimin quietly whispered to the other one being careful not to be suspicious. Taehyung left without making a noise. Jimin turned towards me.

"Try to distract him"He instructed me not taking his sharp gaze from the man who was still watering the rose bushes.

"What are you going to do?" I asked as he started walking away making some distance between us.

"Just do it!"
