Seunghyun sat on the edge on his bed going through the report Key gave him, he could hear to the fall of the water, Jiyong was was taking a shower and not surprisingly, he was singing , Seunghyun chuckled shaking his head, he liked that about him, how carefree he was, even in their line of work, he was optimist and did not lose faith on humanity.

Among his pondering, Jiyong walked out fully to the room, he was dripping with water; Seunghyun rolled his eyes at childish as it may be

“Forgot a towel”
Jiyong grinned

“You could have ask for one”

“Where’s the fun on that?”

Seunghyun shook his head and lay on his bed closing his eyes; Jiyong grinned once more and walked closer to him

“Do you want to dry me?”

Seunghyun’s eyes snapped opened, Jiyong chuckled walking away

“Just kidding!”

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

Minho was driving in a moderate speed to the next city, where their lead lived; he was careful not to tell anyone about his plans, not even his captain.

“Seriously, just look at him, all he needs is to stick his tongue out!”

Jonghyun was sitting on the back of the BMW, window rolled down, the air passing through with energy, he was leaning to the window letting it caress his hair and face, he loved speed, he liked the sensation it gave his body, the thing he liked about it was the sense of freedom he got, but right now to the stressed Key watching him act like a puppy or look like one most like it, was irritating.

“Why does he have to sit on the front?”

“Because, I’m the one with the directions”

Key said in a matter of factly, Jonghyun smiled

“More because you are the GEEK with the directions”

“Yah!”

Key threw whatever he found to Jonghyun, he easily dodged it, and grinned

“A temperamental hot geek, my bad”

Jonghyun winked and Key blushed to his neck

“Shut up!”

Minho chuckled and shook his head, having both guys on his car was like traveling with kids, but he enjoyed their company, he trusted them blindly.

“Okay kids, we’re here”

Key rolled his eyes getting out the car, they all walked to the house and rang the doorbell, a pretty lady with long brown hair opened the door

“May I help you?”

“Carmen Guadiana?”

The lady nodded

“We’re the T.I.H.P.A”

They lady looked around wearily, she recognized them from the hospital and got uneasy

“It’s okay, you are not in trouble, but we do need to ask you some questions”

Carmen hesitantly opened the door wider for them and lead them to the living room where she offered them to sit, the house was small and quaint, Minho saw a picture of two lovely girls on the coffee table

“Your kids?”

Carmen nodded, Key and Minho were sitting in front of her, and Jonghyun was standing by the window keeping watch

“What we want to know is who hired you to do the hospital stunt”

“I was not hired, I was threatened to do it, if I did not do it, he would have hurt my girls”

Carmen looked stressed, her voice worried and stern

“Who’s he?”

Carmen took a big breath before answering, letting it go slowly

“When I first saw him, I thought he was a girl, you see, he has long light brown hair, and he’s fairly small, about 5’6-7, thin too, he was wearing all black, he’s so young I would say late teens, I could not look at his face, he was wearing mouth piece and a cap”

Key scribbled her information, Minho nodded and looked at Jonghyun who just shrugged

“Was he alone?”

“Yes, all I saw was a black car parked outside my house, a black Mercedes, I can’t tell you the year or model, I’m bad with cars”

“Anything you want to add?”

“Well, I know he has a problem”

Minho and Key leaned attentively; even Jonghyun looked at their direction curious

“Is that so?”
“Well, when he talked, I could sense some sort of effort on his breathing, I’m sure he has some sort of lung problems, It sounded like he was slightly wheezing, very unnoticeable , but  I’m a nurse, soi could hear it”

Minho and Key looked at each other, this was better than nothing

“Thank you for your time, we won’t bother you again, do not worry”

Minho and the rest walked out the house into the car, he started it and drove off

“It’s the same person at the Santa Fe port”

Key Nodded

“Yes, Carlos, the last survivor, said a woman was in charge of the group of men that shot them, he could have mistaken him like Carmen did, and being that the port is full of dirt and factors that can activate an respiratory problem, t could have affected his asthma”

Jonghyun leaned between them both

“So what we got is, a small young boy about 5’6-7 that is easily mistaken by a girl, with long brown hair and respiratory complications, in his late teens”

Key and Minho nodded

“I know it is not much to go by, but I does narrow somewhat our suspect list, if not is the only thing we have to El Salvaje, but one thing for sure, is that his person is El Salvaje’s right hand, and not himself, because he is not stupid enough to dirty his hands or get exposed like that”

Minho nodded at Key’s interpretation

“But, if the description is right… and he is in fact that young, would El Salvaje trust on a kid? The biggest Mafia name in the trafficking business right man is a kid, a non-threatening one at that, what is their relationship?”

Jonghyun sat back and shrugged

“Relatives perhaps?”

Minho and Key frowned but stood quiet

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

Taemin walked out his hotel room early in the morning, the three girls he got were already n a warehouse, he yawned and stretched, he turned to look at his subordinates

“Okay let’s try to get as much the rest of the girls today, we need them for Monday and it’s Thursday already, we need to hurry”

Taemin was dressed casually, the good thing about his demeanor is that he was approachable so he could walk to girls and charmed them, so it came easy to him; he had the subs follow him so they could trap the girls

“First hand I need to get another danm inhaler, that stunt at the port really messed me up”

Taemin walked to a near pharmacy and bought one before heading to a café, he went inside and saw a few people, one old lady and two guys, the guys were handsome, a thick eye browed one and one with a small face and sharp eyes, both Asian, must be tourists, he sighed and ordered his coffee, it was early so there wasn’t many people on the streets, perfect for getting a young girl un-notice

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

“Hyung, good morning”

Mir walked to the chair beside Joon with the help of his crutches, he sat, setting his crutches aside, he took Joon’s hand and slightly squeezed it, he had a sad smile on his face, Joon had not opened his eyes yet or had any kind of respond, the machine plugged to his body was helping him breath; it made Mir uneasy, he was used to seeing tall and proud Joon on action, so sure and agile, Joon had studied martial arts so he looked like a ninja on the field, so strong, but seeing him so fragile and broken, hurt Mir, he leaned and kissed Joon’s hand, a tear trailing down his face

“Joon… I miss you, get well soon okay? You have not given me my daily scolding”

Mir sobbed a little, he still felt guilty for not warning Joon on time, and it was hard to know that if Joon ever walked again or move he was going to be affected for the rest of his life, the results of that incident were going to be permanent, and all he got was a broken ankle, he smiled bitterly

“I’m crying, and you’re the one who is hurt, you would have punched me for being so weak…”

And it was true, Joon disliked the any sign of weakness, he believed there was no time for such thing on their line of work, you had to be strong to protect others, so when he saw Mir hesitant on any mission he would scold him, but what Joon wanted was to build Mir’s confidence, he was so young and un experience when he joined the Agency, that many mocked him and expected him to fail, but Joon saw something on him that he wanted to prove them all wrong and show them that Mir was more than capable; Joon believed on him

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

Heechul was pacing around his office, when he heard a soft knock on the door

“Come in”

The door opened and Siwon walked in, he saw the stressed look on Heechul and pulled him into a hug

“I don’t know what I’m doing, my agents are getting hurt and we’re following leads to dead ends, what kind of captain am I?”

Siwon pulled away

‘You’re just a man Heechul, don’t be hard on yourself, this is an agency, we work as a team if one fails we all fail, if one succeeds we all do, we help one another, we rebuild each other, you are a great captain, you have lead us to many successful missions, we knew that El Salvaje case was going to be hard but not impossible, that’s why we took it, because it is our job to help other and protect the innocent, we put others first before us, so don’t be hard on yourself, trust on your team, they all are working hard and we are slowly going somewhere, we’re not completely  blind”

Siwon pulled Heechul to a tighter embrace, smiling at him, Heechul sighed and relaxed in his arms, he leaned up to peck his lips

“Thank you, you are amazing, I don’t know what I would do without you”

Siwon and Heechul knew each other before they joined the agency, they did not hit it off right away, but they were good friends, best actually, they supported each other on their decisions, and where a shoulder to cry on if one failed, they also celebrated their success, it’s been two years since they came out about their feelings; when Heechul felt the stress of the leadership, Siwon would let him lean on him, he would soothe his insecurities

“Any reports from Agent Minho?”

“Well we had a meeting, told me that the last lead died, poisoned by someone working for El Salvaje, he told me that there was no need to follow the girl who did it, but there has been a series of kidnappings in France so he sent two agents to look at them with the hope that they are connected to the case”

Siwon nodded, he pecked him one more time and pulled away

“I have to go and keep investigating about the gang massacre”

Heechul nodded and saw him off

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

“So that’s the only profile? Got it, we’ll go by it, so far the girls who had disappear are near the hotel we’re staying at, we’ll call you when we get anything”

Jiyong sat with his cup of coffee, Seunghyun had just hanged up to Minho, he scanned the café before turning to Jiyong

“So, what’s the word?”

“A teen with long brown hair, small on height and frame, and apparently has asthma or some sort of respiratory complication, a boy”

“Well that could be anyone… “

Just then a someone walked in, Seunghyun side glance to the new comer, he fitted the description, he was small, and he looked like a girl, a tomboyish girl with the outfit, he could have stayed with the theory of a girl if he had not heard his voice when ordering, he looked at Jiyong, he nodded while sipping his coffee, they waited for the boy to leave before they spoke

“Don’t lose track, I know there is a pharmacy near the café, if this guy has asthma, he would have bought something for it, considering the weather here in France, and I’ll call you if he’s the one”

Jiyong nodded, set his cup on the table and walked outside casually turning to the way he saw the boy go; Seunghyun paid the bill and walked the other direction to the pharmacy

“Hello, I’m looking for my brother and he told me he was coming to the pharmacy, have you seen him? He’s small, long hair, brown, he was wearing a black coat and brown boots”

The pharmacist looked at him for a moment; Seunghyun was paying close attention to the man’s answer

“Yes, he came to buy asthma medicine right? He left like 30 minutes ago”

Seunghyun nodded and walked out immediately, picking his phone out dialing Jiyong

“We’ve got him”
