“Joon…”

Mir’s eye were teary, he sat down and looked at Joon, who was looking at him with some intensity, no matter how broken he lay, Joon’s eyes never lost that fire Mir loved so much, even his stare was overwhelming it held so much meaning

“You’re up, I’m so relieved”

Tears traveled freely down Mir’s cheeks, he immediately wiped them away
“I’m sorry, crying is for the weak I know, but I’m so happy”

He felt his hand be lightly squeezed again, he smiled and placed his other hand on top of it, he looked up to Joon, his look was different now, one he has never seen on the older agent, it was soft, affectionate even, what was it?

“Oh, I should call the doctor”

Mir pulled away carefully and left the room

Jonghyun was in the coffee room, he did not drink coffee but right now he was fixing one for Key, he had a small smile on his face, he had like Key ever since he placed eyes on him, that feisty, hot, geek was wonderful, they’ve known each other for years now, but he has always , even flirted, and Key had subtly returned his feelings, but now after seeing all he has seen, partners loosing partners… well it was time he got serious, he liked Key and a lot, he wanted to have a relationship with him, so now he was to stop with the teasing, well maybe a little, it was irresistible to tease that feline agent

“What’s with the goofy smile?”

“Thinking about you”

Key rolled his eyes, he stood beside him overlooking Jonghyun’s administration, he wanted his coffee perfect, he was very picky about it, but Jonghyun somehow  picked up how he liked it, in fact Jonghyun was very attentive on the small details, when he was tired he would massage hi shoulder, when he was stressed he would go to his apartment with his favorite wine, he was just like that, very detail oriented

“Done”

Key smile and drank from it

“Perfect”

Key looked at Jonghyun, his face was serious, it kind of threw him off, he was looking at him intently, that made Key self-conscious, he had a problem when people just stared, he was made fun of when younger about his small frame and lanky appearance, he had always been rejected by any love interest he had, so for the live of him he could not understand how this handsome and smart man was flirting with him, at first he thought it was a way to make fun of him, but later he grew to like it, because Jonghyun was very serious with everyone, friendly but serious, but with him Jonghyun changed into a goofy puppy, playful, teasing and overwhelmingly kind and attentive, which Key grew to like, he did subtly returned his teasing,  sometimes he would playfully bicker with him, but what he liked the way that he could be himself, that Jonghyun did not make fun of his persona, he was the only one who could endlessly and Key would smile, wanting more of that teasing

“Key, would you like to go out for dinner with me?”

Key coughed at his coffee, why so formal? He has gone to eat with Jonghyun before, with company or alone but he had not ask him so formally or serious

“I, uh, yes, I would like to”

Jonghyun smiled, it was not a goofy smile, nor hi teasing smile, it was a smile that communicated, satisfaction, relieve, excitement, it was a smile that made Key’s heart skip a beat

“Great, tomorrow, at 6, I’ll pick you up”

Key nodded and Jonghyun winked walking past him

Minho was pacing around his office, what was he going to do? This unsub was a kid, a beautiful, appealing kid, Minho frowned

“ this ”

He sat down and looked through the monitors on his office; Taemin was still in the interrogation room, he was playing with a piece of paper Minho had left behind, he looked so innocent, now that he was presumably alone, but Minho knew better, he was a criminal, the worst kind of there exist, the one that hurts innocent people, and those kind Minho hated, he sighed, and felt disgusted with himself because he found this kid attractive, he found himself glancing more than was necessary to this boy’s face

“Are transferring him to a cell? Or are you going to question him, some more?”

Minho looked up from the monitor to see Jonghyun standing in front of him, he leaned on his chair and rubbed his face

“Where’s the other man?”
“He’s on a separate room”

Minho stood up and Jonghyun immediately lead him to the right room; after some minutes Minho made his way in to the questioning room where an injured man waited, Minho sat down while Jonghyun waited behind him, the man looked at him with defiance

“Tell me who what is the relationship between the boy and El Salvaje”

The man snorted but said nothing

“Where are the three girls you kidnap?”

The man just spitted on him

Minho cleaned his face with a tissue and turned to look at Jonghyun, nodding, Jonghyun walked to the man and tied his hands and feet on the chair, he took out a tool that looked like a nut cracker and place a finger in between them

“Okay, let’s try this again, where are the girls?”

The man although scared did not show it

“ yourself”

Minho looked at Jonghyun and he cracked a finger, an agonizing scream  came from the man, Jonghyun moved to the other finger

“Who is that boy?”

The man shook his head defiantly, Minho was in a really bad mood, he was still disgusted over Taemin and it was safe to say that he was taking his frustration out in this man, because one does not resort to torture so fast, but they did were against time, so sighing he nodded to Jonghyun who broke another finger, another scream came

The man teary eye and panting looked at Minho

“Want to answer? Because I have nothing better to do”

“If I tell you, he’ll kill me”

“If you don’t tell me, not will I slowly break your fingers and toes, I will kill you too”

Minho leaned closer

“So?”

“On a warehouse close to the Notre Dame Hotel, the number is 135; they are hidden on a cargo box, a red one”

Minho nodded

“See that was not that hard”
Minho frowned, and nodded at Jonghyun, he cracked two fingers more

“I ANSWERED YOU!”

“Oh, that was for spitting on me”

They both left the whimpering man on the room and immediately issued orders to find the girls

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

Taemin was brought to a secluded cell, he sighed and sat on a petty excuse of a bed, with all that happened he was surprised his asthma did not react, he in all honesty he was both scared an relieved to be there, relieved to be away from the man he so much hated, his father, and scared because he knew what would happen if he stayed there more than 24 hours, he could have easily told who this man was and where he was, and he would have been free from that devil, but he could not if he wanted to protect her, his older sister has been happily married and with children, Boa, yeah she was of another marriage but they had the same father,  they interacted a lot when he was younger and he loved her, she was lucky to walk away, well Taemin stayed behind or she would have been swallowed to that kind of life style.

Taemin bargained for her, he swore loyalty to him if he left her alone, and loyal he would stay, although not physically strong, Taemin was very smart, and cunning, he was quick, a fast runner, he knew how to get away, but today he was surprised; he feared if dismissed if Boa would be in danger, so he had to get away. He really did not want to do this, he hated the screams and tears all the victims did, he could sometimes his sister and her children going through the same, so he endured it, she was the only relative he had and he would do anything to protect her and her family.

“Ready to go?”

The cell door opened revealing a tall handsome man with thick eyebrows, Taemin smirked and nodded, walking handcuffed behind the man

“I talked to your father; they have a jet waiting for you on their private platform”

“And how am I getting there?”

The man stopped by the security guards standing by the entrance

“I’m transferring the suspect to the Unit A facility, the guards nodded opening the gates for him, Taemin was dragged by the arm to a black car and placed on the back with the agent sitting on the copilot, the driver started the car and drove off to the facility

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

Jiyong was moping on the resting room, he was upset but he could understand Seunghyun, but still he did not had to get punched for it or his methods questioned, they were so different but worked so perfectly well together, he sighed and leaned against the couch, he pondered over the years he has been Seunghyun’s partner, at first it was hard because Seunghyun was so rigid and cold, and he was so reckless, wanting to prove he was over the game, so they balanced each other

“Jiji”

Jiyong smiled

“It’s been awhile since you called me that”

Seunghyun walked up to him and sat, smiling

“I’m sorry I punched you, but…”

“I got you, I deserved it… but that does not mean it did not hurt like a ”

They both laughed

“You took a shot to the arm and complain about my punch?”

“Hey I rather take a bullet than your killer hits”

The door busted opened revealing Minho and Jonghyun followed by Key

“Taemin, has escaped”
