Onew took a single glimpse at the furious figure and continued to the exit pretending to not have seen him. His heart thudded in loud beats as he ignored Taemin’s frustrated calls from the other end of the casino. He clenched his fists and remembered what Leeteuk hyung had told him – to get out as soon as possible, and not to talk to anyone until he did so. As the sound of rapid footsteps started to near him, he broke into a run, even though sub-consciously, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to get away.

‘It’s a race…’ he murmured.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taemin felt a wave of boiling anger as he saw Onew starting to run. Is this what the brat is paying him for saving him? He too broke into a sprint as a sudden predatory feeling jumped into his system. A grin started to tug at the corner of his lips as Onew jumped down the stairs in quick succession. Not bad.

‘But you need to be faster if you’re planning to outrun me.’

Let’s hunt.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a long period of ten seconds, Kibum stood frozen as both Taemin and Onew disappeared down the stairs in a flurry of motion. His mind was plunged in a panic; something he hadn’t felt for a very long time. It was a choice: save Onew, or save himself. He had been stupid enough to come into the casino, but to go into the actual underground base… it would be a total suicide…

A warm hand tapped his shoulders.

Jonghyun bowed. ‘Follow me please.’

Kibum took a blank look at the figure in front of him and groaned. ‘Why am I always stuck with complete idiots who can’t even look after themselves…?’

With that, Kibum lightly jumped on to the Lots table and faced Jonghyun. ‘Sorry… Orders you see.’ He turned towards the stairs and was mildly surprised as a leg swung in his direction. He crouched and spun around quickly to block the attack. His arm and Jonghyun’s leg met in contact with a dull thud.

Kibum grinned at the passive face gazing down at him. ‘What gives?’

‘I too have orders.’

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Minho was lost in thought as he slowly sank into a leather couch. Jiyong had called him a few moments ago, informing him about the situation. He took a deep breath as he slowly organized his thoughts. First things first – he would fulfill his role. He took his phone out and started to dial a number slowly.

‘Get everyone; we’re going.’

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heechul drove the delivery van through the highway with aggression. Eunhyuck continuously pointed out that they might die first before reaching Onew, but he ignored it, glaring at anyone who dared to challenge him. They would be backup; ready to go in if Onew fails to come out in time. A car beeped at the van and Heechul swore loudly, banging the car window in return. Shindong blinked in succession and shrunk back quietly back into his seat.

‘Whoa…’ Kyuhyun murmured. ‘Scary Heechul…’

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jiyong steadily took all the safety pins off his gun, the silver surface with a smile. He would go to Club Phoenix; even if it’s the last thing he’ll do. Maybe it’s a good thing – he was planning to go there one day anyway.

‘Joon… Maybe I can fulfill my role today…’ he whispered quietly. ‘Maybe, just maybe…’

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

‘Mark security unit one.’

Yunho passed the information through the speakers situated around the casino.

‘Are you okay? Why are we marking security?’ Changmin was cautious to ask.

Yunho ruffled his hair and smiled. ‘It’s fine... It’s just that something feels wrong, that’s all – I’m just being overcautious…’

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

‘A war is beginning.’
