The beginning to EXO was something special to them. It brought them each a family they didn't know they needed. There they sat at a long table in one of the conference rooms, Minseok and Jongdae sat togther as Baekhyun tapped his fingers in boredem, Chanyeol teased Kyungsoo whom sat beside him, Yixing sat beside Junmyun whom was just as confused as the others, and lastly the two newest recruits Jongin and Sehun had slipped down in their chairs out of exhaustion. The acting cheif of SM Secruity walked in, throwing files on the table making all of the them jump in surprise.

"Welcome to Team EXO." He said, taking a seat as the lights turned off a powerpoint showing on the large white screen in front of them.

"I tapped out!" Jongdae whined as he rubbed his arm while pouting, Yixing chuckled at the other helping him up.

"You'll live." He said, with a smirk, Jongdae's continuous whines filled the abandonned warehouse they turned into their hideout, years ago.

A large octagon in the back with lines of gloves marked by each of them, pads lining the wall, as other workout equitment took up the excess room in the back of the warehouse. The rest of it was filled with weapons lining a wall, computers parrallel to it on the wall. A lot of computers, a desk and keyboards below it. A long table sat in the middle with a large clear board where Kyungsoo and Jongin sat on the table as Chanyeol wrote on the board. Baekhyun walking in with a file handing it to the taller male explaining what he found. Sehun and Junmyun walked to them after closing the large door, Jongdae and Yixing walking to the table after removing their gloves.

"Where's Minseok hyung?" Junmyun asked, looking at the others whom turned to Jongdae.

"He is covering for Johnny." Jongdae said, telling the truth to his techincal boss.

"Take your seats." He said, the others sat in their usual spots turning to their leader. "We all probably thought I would never say this," He took a deep breath. "we need to go to the cops." Wide eyes were all on him, everyone shifting uncomfortably. "I know its crazy. But, this isn't us nor is it SM, we need to clear EXO of this. This, murder of innocent families. Yes, we have ended many lives over the past years but, we have a code."

"No families. No loved ones. No hostages." Kyungsoo said, everyone nodded.

"No childern. Whoever this is killed an eight-year-old. If the police thinks this is EXO everyone will fear us." Chanyeol said, his fist clenched just thinking of the crime scene, eyes all shifted to Sehun whom only sat with his head down.

"Fine. How do we even let them know we need their help without revealing our actual identity?" Baekhyun asked, raising a prefect eyebrow at the older male.

"We will use our Aliases around them at all times. And I will contact a team no one would guess would be involved with us." He said, the guys looked each other then back to their leader, silently saying their in. "Lets catch a cerial killer."
