After taking off certain traps that could lead to obvious disasters (which were a lot of traps and obviously took a lot of time), tonight was the night for the so-called "visit" from the Phantom Thief, yet the casino was as busy as usual with the familiar sounds of the ringing of the lottery machines and various voices talking as cash was thrown onto the betting tables.

As usual, Doha walked around the casino to stay on patrol for anyone suspicious, asking some people about services every once in a while. He hears a ringing in his earpiece so he heads over to a more quiet and secluded section of the casino to answer it.

"Yeah Haejoon-ah?" Doha asks, keeping watch of the entrance.

"I got a call from the director. She said that tonight might be more dangerous than usual so she's sending Busan's section of detectives over to us. As far as I know from research, the group is lead by a 'Lee Inpyo'."

"Do you have any info or profile about Lee Inpyo then?" Doha suddenly sees an odd figure by the entrance, looking a bit lost, "Hold on Haejoon-ah, I'll get back to you later." he walks over to the figure, noticing that the figure was rather small, clutching an average sized bunny plushie with a scarf in his arms.

He worried as to why he was wandering around in a casino, tapping the boy on the shoulder before smiling, "Excuse me, but why are you at this casino? Are you looking for someone?"

The boy blinks at him before nodding and laying out his palm, gesturing for Doha to lay out his palm. The boy walks closer before tracing something onto Doha's palm, making him confused before realizing that he was tracing Hangul into his palm.

He's mute...? Doha watched and felt carefully before asking, "'Lee Inpyo...?" he tries his best to cover his shock when he sees the boy nod. He covers this shock by awkwardly laughing, "Um- he will be here but I'm not sure when. Do you want to stay by the entrance and wait for him?"

The seemingly mute boy shakes his head, smiling and bowing at him for thanks before walking away from Doha into the noisier section of the casino.

Doha hesitated to chase after the boy, not really sure as to whether he should find the boy suspicious or not but he still worried over the boy's safety in such a place. He turns on his ear piece again to contact Haejoon, "Hey, if anyone is free can you tell them to watch out for a boy with a bunny plushie. Oh, and make sure that they follow after him too."

"Well the cams show that Jinseob-ah's busy serving some guys who want to get drunk or something, Youngdoo-hyung's in a game of pool right now with some pretty wealthy figures, and Sunghyun-ah's serving said figures and Inho-hyung called in a while ago saying he's leaving the premisces to go buy more beer and wine, so Jaehyun's gonna have to be the guy."

Honestly speaking, Doha would've preferred if the rookie of the group wasn't the one watching over the boy, but he would have to accept that for now, "Okay. Tell Jaehyun-ah that then."

"Roger that."

There was a moment of silence before he had another incoming call to which he answered.

"Woah, suspicious figures alert."

The leader scrunches up his eyebrows, "How so? Tell me the area."

"Youngdoo-hyung and Sunghyun-ah's. Church boy and a boy with a naginata tied onto his back walked up to Youngdoo mid-game and asked about something."

"Can you tune into their conversation?" Doha asked, quickly heading over to the pool table in the middle of the casino.

"As far as I know, Youngdoo would look suspicious if he answered and it's best not to cause suspicion with someone who visibly has a naginata. Hold on, let me try- crap, Sunghyun's earpiece is having trouble connecting- WOAH 'KAY! You might need to change your route and head over to Jinseob's area instead 'cause a guy with a white hoodie and visible sword walked over and there seemed to be a bickering or misunderstanding and they may or may not be having a sword battle right now..."

"WHAT?!" Doha couldn't help but yell before drastically changing his head of direction before he heard someone scream from a different direction, however, he couldn't tell with all of the people blocking his view, "Haejoon-ah, what was that scream?!"

"Um- you weren't wrong about that kid. The scream came from a woman nearby because I think Jaehyun noticed something suspicious about the kid and took out his gun and- uh- well all I can say is that the kid isn't as weak as he looks- DOHA-HYUNG DUCK!"

Doha's eyes widened before quickly ducking and felt a wind pass him as the familiar sound of a trigger pass by the side of his head. He turns to see a boy with blond-ish, orange hair cursing under his breath as he aimed his pistol at something that he recognized as Jinseob's direction where the sound of swords clashing stood out now everyone was running out of the building in panic.

Before the boy could pull the the trigger again Doha quickly reacted by sprinting over and making a grab for the gun. Although the latter was startled, he managed to struggle against Doha's grip in time, trying to aim his gun at Doha instead before incidentally punching the arm where Doha's muscles still ached from falling, making him wince in pain and back up.

"DOHA! CATCH!"

He quickly looks over to see the path of people clear up and Youngdoo tossing a spare pistol over to Doha before dodging the swing of a naginata. Doha quickly raised the gun and pulled the trigger but his aim wavered when another sharp pain went through his dominant arm, making him miss his opponent  and instead sent a bullet through the lottery machine behind him.

His opponent quickly charged after him and tried to knock Doha out, forcing the latter to take a defensive stance. The leader was trying his best to keep up since attacking stance wouldn't make him fair well either now that he was forced to attack with his non-dominant hand.

At one point, they reached a position where they were pointing at each other's forehead with their fingers on the trigger and suddenly, the casino was suffocating from silence, where if a trigger was pulled all hell would break loose.

"Put down your gun and nobody gets hurt, okay?"

Doha gulped, his non-dominant wavering his aim with the pistol in his hand on the orange-haired boy's head in front of him. The other boy was nervously smiling as his he was in a similar position, except it was obvious that he was using his dominant hand with his pistol laying rigidly against his forehead.

Nervously, he glances at his teammates from the corner of his eyes.

Inho and Haejoon were no where to be found. His best guesses were that Haejoon were keeping an eye on them from the hidden security room while Inho was innocently still shopping for some wines and beer.

Jinseob was stuck in a position while holding his sword against a white hoodie wearing boy's throat as the latter kept at a distance with a sword of his own, their positions so stiff that even the slightest movement would lead to a blade slicing their throats open.

Sunghyun and Youngdoo were fairing just as badly as they held their aims with their guns at a boy with a cross hung around his neck as he copied their positions with his own gun. Another boy was closeby him, getting ready to sprint at them with his naginata if they dared to shoot.

Jaehyun was doing the worse out of all of them against a fairly small and fragile looking boy. However, the boy seemed to be able to disprove this seeing how he had a dagger driven through Jaehyun's palm as he helplessly stood there with a pistol against his forehead, the plushie of a bunny with a scarf discarded beside the small opponent.

Doha couldn't help but curse under his breath for not being able to aim properly on his first shot against the boy in front of him when he began attacking, wishing dearly that his dominant hand wasn't severely injured from the morning.

Suddenly, a loud sound rang throughout the empty casino along with a scream.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH GAWD DANG IT INHO-HYUNG!"
