"How many hours have we've been here?"

"Just two hours now." Answered Yoona while she's looking serious, eyes never left the hospital's exit door from the back of the building. Her arms are crossed as she keeps her composure and patience at bay. There's no solid evidence that the thieves are from the shadow world but they can't let it slide.

"And yet we're not yet sure." Yuri said as a matter of fact. It was only a theory from most of the shadow hunters that the unknown thieves will have a mission to rob the hospital that was just nearby from the previous hospital they robbed.

"I believe we'll see them tonight." Yoona trusts her father and the other senior shadow hunters. "Let's just wait at least another hour." She checks her time and decided to lean back on her seat with her two hands at the back of her head.

Yuri took a glance to the wolf at the back seat and the latter looked away from her. "What will be his role?" She asks because the plan doesn't involve him since they have yet to learn a wolf is with them.

"He will help us getting them if they escaped."

"I see." She nodded and smile to the wolf. She sighs but got impatient. If only they know the time, they'll rob the hospital, she won't be staying with them.

"What do you guys want to eat?" Yoona felt like a food would accompany them. She herself is hungry.

"That's a good idea, Yoong. I'm buying-"

"No. You stay." She held the tan girl's arm to stop her from going. "I'm treating you both." She took a glance to their wolf friend who doesn't react. She couldn't help and reach for his head and give him a gentle rub.

"I saw a convenience store inside this hospital. You might want to buy me a sandwich." Yuri didn't think twice and she suggested.

Yoona is in disbelief but she couldn't complain. She casually left the car and head to the front part of the hospital. As she walks in, she suddenly stopped on her tracks when she felt a negative energy around. She turned her head to the right and then to her left, she realizes there are patients, outpatient, visitors and doctors from both sides, talking immensely. The energy subsided and she keeps going. But just five steps forward, it returns and it got clearer. She turned her head to the right and eye every person before her eyes until she spotted, a tall guy, wearing all black, reading a newspaper while he's sitting on the sofa. 'This could be one of the robberies.' She thought as the presence got even frightening. He has an aura of a warlock.

She decided to be unknown as she proceed to the convenience store but keep glancing on where she can see him. She took five sandwiches from the stand and proceed to get them drinks. She didn't stop glancing until she stood in front of the counter, placing down their snacks. She paid for it not long after and went out. She took a last glance to the guy before she has completely stepped out of hospital. But only to stop on her tracks.

"HANDS AT THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD AND GET DOWN!" Someone announced a robbery, asking everyone to do as what he says.

Yoona turned and gasps to see a blonde guy who she just passes earlier is declaring a robbery. It wasn't the guy she saw earlier. Everyone is on their knees, trembling in fear. She was about to react when she saw a security guard, opened fire to the guy when the guy from earlier was too quick to react, freezing the bullet and dropped on the floor. The Warlock then uses his wand to create a sleeping powder in the air, allowing everyone to fell asleep.

Yoona who wasn't inside was safe from the powder that she uses the chance to stepped inside and stopped them from going. She stood in front of them before they could enter the lift.

"Who are you?" The Blonde taller than her asks. He is a human and Yoona knows. But he wasn't even afraid nor the warlock to see her. They probably have no idea about her.

"I thought it's some vampire again." Yoona replied with a smirk.

Without wasting a second, the blonde opened on her which she easily dodges and stepped forward. She eyed the warlock and the latter was about to use his magic but she caught his hand and swiftly flipped him over. Another shot was opened to her, she easily dodges it and launches a kick on his stomach, sending the human a few meters from her. She returned to the warlock wincing pain but only to find herself being pressed against the lift's door and a vampire is holding her up through his neck. She held both of her forearm and ready to stop him when the warlock throw a magic on her, making her throw her hands pressed against the metal door. Her legs are also pressed. She couldn't move as she struggles to breath.

"What are you?" The vampire asks sternly, looking at her like he's going to kill her at any moment. She hasn't seen him as his eyes possess a foreign vampire. She wanted to tell him and ask who are them but it's hard. Each second’s passes are a struggle. It's like living in a thin line while he keeps pressing her with just one hand. She is helpless. He's sure a strong one.

The Warlock approached them together with the human, watching her slowly dying.

"Whatever you are, don't fight against us. We're not here to cause a fight." The Warlock said and he opened the lift. The vampire then throws her inside like a trash. "Let's not meet again, shall we?" He waved goodbye to her before the lift closes and move up, trapping her inside.

Yoona is catching her breath while sweats are running down her forehead. She's weak but still can move. She really didn't expect them to be stronger and faster. She wasn't prepared. No matter how strong she is as a shadowhunter, she can still be beaten by group of downworlder. She was lucky enough and they let her go. But it's definitely first time to see a mundane is with them.

Grabbing her phone from her pocket, she contacted Yuri. "Get ready. Three robberies are inside." she announced once her friend answered her phone call. She then hangs up and exited the lift when it reached the roof top. She put on her head above her head and stood at the edge of it as her eyes turned blue. She let herself calm and stay as she recharges on her own. After a few minutes, she let jumped off of the building and landed in front of their car.

Yuri jumped in surprised to see the doe-eyed out of a sudden. "Seriously, you should have told us!" she hit her arm once she returned to the driver's seat.

"I dropped our snacks earlier. Let's just eat later when this mission finishes." Yoona told Yuri rather, smiling a little.

"W-wait. You're in war mood, aren't you?" Yuri noticed her eye color immediately. "You look so cool, Yoong. Haven't seen you like this close. Jjang."

Yoona rolled back her eyes. "Focus, Yuri-ssi." But reminded the older one right away.

"I am. Just appreciating our leader."

"We'll follow them once they leave the hospital."

"Aye! Aye!" Yuri grabs her face mask and cap right away to put it on. CCTVs are around the city, it's always their rule to cover up from mundane's eyes.

Thirty minutes later, the three exited the hospital just like what they predict. But they never expect the nearby black van was their ride. They've been seeing it since they arrived.

"Get ready." Yoona seriously announced as she carefully drives off, following the van.

It was all smooth for Seohyun when she reaches the airport. But when she saw who is apparently checking the baggage’s, she began to get nervous. A fellow vampire and her sister's friend is apparently working in the airport which she has no idea at all. Looking for something to hide her face, she had nothing but to look down as she gets her turn closer and closer. She hopes he would never sense her nor look at her. Otherwise, her escape will be ruined.

As soon as it was her turn, she keeps her head low while her sister's friend is checking on baggages. Another person is also checking her body. She is literally freezing as she keeps shut. It's taking a while that s
