"What do you mean it failed?!" Kyuhyun barked into his cell phone as he strode out of a house just outside of Seoul. Mr. Lee sent him there because the company's top trackers managed to find a trace left by Mr. Simple that led to the location. Of course, like Kyuhyun predicted, when they arrived the place was cleared out and clean. Nothing indicated who Mr. Simple was, or where he was going next.

Now, not only was his time wasted yet again with another goose chase, his colleagues want him to run back to Seoul to fix a failed operation. Kyuhyun was absent for only a few hours, and they already screwed up. 

Great, Kyuhyun thought with bitter sarcasm. This day was going so well, and now they've just made it even better. 

Reaching the end of the small gravel driveway, Kyuhyun paused to pinch the bridge of his nose in frustration, gathering every little bit of patience to keep himself calm. The suit on the other end of the line was stumbling over his words, trying to put the cyborg at ease, but Kyuhyun was hearing none of it.

"Where is Kangin? I want to speak with him." Kyuhyun cut the other off, his tone cold and steely.

"H-he's riding in an ambulance, sir." The suit stuttered on the other end of the line.

"An ambulance?" Kyuhyun asked, surprised by the news yet unconcerned about his injured colleague. "How did that happen?"

"They say it was Ken that caused it."

"Ken?!" Kyuhyun exclaimed, even more surprised than before. "You're telling me... It was Ken, the pathetic little bird that couldn't do anything but cry? He put Kangin in an ambulance?!"

The suit paused before replying a reluctant, "Y-yes."

A second of tense silence passed between the two before Kyuhyun burst into a fit of dry laughter, void of any amusement.

"That's just great!" Kyuhyun shouted sarcastically to no one in particular as he started walking to the black SUV waiting for him on the other side of the road. He waved the other suits over as a silent order, letting them know he was ready to leave. "You guys are handling this operation very well without me, aren't you?" 

"Sir, like I said before, Mr. Lee-"

"I heard you the first time!" Kyuhyun barked again, sarcasm gone. "I'll do as Mr. Lee says, and come back to fix the mess you made."

"Thank you, sir-"

"Don't thank me, you useless ." The cyborg hissed venomously before hanging up on the poor suit, and hopping into the SUV.

Ten minutes later, the SUV pulled into the back parking lot of an apartment building Kyuhyun recognized as the one he spotted Leo leaving from last week. He remembers clearly, because that was also the night he encountered Jinki. A chill ran down the cyborg's spine at the memory, but he didn't show it as he stepped out of the vehicle to glare at the suit approaching him.

"What happened?" Kyuhyun asked before the suit could say anything.

The suit explained, "When the operation went into action, everything was going according to plan. The building evacuated, and during the chaos we located them on the fourth floor. However, when we attacked, they were more difficult to restrain than we originally thought and were able to fight back. They managed to overpower the men we sent in, and by the time reinforcements arrived, they were already escaping with the help of a third party in a grey Toyota tacoma. One of our men was able to identify one of them as Key, and he also says he hit him with a tranquilizer dart before they drove off. The remaining 4 targets ran back through the apartment complex, and we spotted them running across a footbridge into a finance building across the street."

"Where are they, now?" Kyuhyun questioned tensely, angered by how careless his men were in executing this operation. They walked through the lobby of the apartment building, and strolled out onto the busy sidewalk crowded by anxious residents and working firefighters trying to find a fire that didn't exist.

"I believe we have them trapped on the top floor," the suit continued to explain. "One of our men is a cyborg from the lab, so the situation should be under control-"

The crowd erupted in a chorus of gasps, and the sound of glass shattering drew everyone's attention skyward. Kyuhyun's jaw tensed when he saw glass shards falling from the twentieth floor of the finance building across the street, and a figure dangling from the now empty window. He felt the camera lenses in his eyes shift and his vision zoomed in on the figure.

"," Kyuhyun muttered under his breath when he identified the figure as Leo. He turned to his colleague with a scowl, "You call this under control?"

"I-I'm sorry, sir. I don't know what-" The suit struggled to find a suitable excuse for the situation, but cut himself off when he couldn't come up with one. "What do you want us to do, sir-"

"Nothing!" Kyuhyun raised a silencing hand, and he glared menacingly at the man as he continued, "There is absolutely nothing we can do, now, without revealing our existence to the general public. The only thing we can do, is stand here and watch."

The cyborg turned his attention back to Leo, and saw that the wolf man was now being helped by the man Kyuhyun saw him walking with the night he met Jinki. Kyuhyun crossed his arms, and tapped his foot as he watched the man struggle and fail to pull Leo back up.

Damn it, Kyuhyun thought in frustration. What the hell are they doing up there?! We're supposed to catch them alive! His eyebrows furrowed when he saw Leo slipping from the other man's grip. He's definitely going to fall. Damn it, how am I going to explain to Mr. Lee that we accidentally killed one of his assets?

Suddenly, a green light appeare
