"What's the status, Namjoon?" Jimin asked him with his hands in his pockets, facing the cell in which they had kept Jungkook.

"Oh my god! Are you the famous Agent Juliet?" Namjoon asked with his hands over his mouth.

"I am delighted to meet you too. But I asked something."

"Oh, yes! Um... actually no. He is refusing to answer all my questions. I need to make him talk by this week or the boss will screw me," Namjoon explained with a frown over his lips.

"He is sturdier than I expected. You want to impress Jin?" Jimin asked Namjoon and turned towards him.

"I don't want to impress and stuff. Just want him to acknowledge me as a good and reliable agent-"

"Cut the formality, do you or do you not want to impress him?" Jimin asked in a demanding tone to which Namjoon instantly nodded his head.

"As a rookie, it's difficult to get on his good side. So try and accomplish something that he is eager to know-"

"For example?" Namjoon perked up a question.

"Make the guy inside that cell blurt out the name of the person he is working for"

"What's new in that? That's exactly why I was appointed here," Namjoon sulked with his hands dropping on either side of his body.

"And convince him to work for us," Jimin finished his sentence.

"Are you serious right now? He isn't cooperating to talk to me. What makes you think that he will agree on working with us-"

"Namjoon!" Jimin raised a tone and took a step closer to the male that stopped blabbering, "Don't get intimidated by the people who work around you! Don't get intimidated by me either. You were chosen to work here because of your excellent skills to analyse threats and crackdown cases so that we could go save the victims. You were chosen because you deserve it. You get that?" Jimin affirmed.

"But-"

"If ever, I become a potential threat then you must cuff me and put me behind the bars and find the truth. I want you to attain that peak. I want you to work your ass off and reach the point where you have the powers to order people around. That's when I will meet you again." Jimin gave a soft smile and turned back to leave. He stopped to take a glance over the male that slept in the cell and shrugged his thoughts to walk ahead.

______

Two days after Jungkook was captured~

Namjoon inhaled sharply and twisted the door to the cell open. He took a firm step inside but his confidence raised a few heights as he was reminded of Jimin's words.

He made his way to sit before Jungkook and took out his sheet and clicked the board to announce to the latter that he was here.

That Namjoon was here.

That he would be interrogating him.

That he is going to mark history.

"Wake up," Namjoon ordered in a firm tone. His dominating aura was slowly building within. A sly smirk built over his lips as adrenaline rushed into his system.

He was ready.

To prove himself.

To let the people know that he is worth a shot and that he can accomplish a given job.

Jungkook squinted his eyes open and gulped back a lump. His throat was dry from not drinking water for the past few days.

"Let's begin the interrogation. This meet is being recorded and anything you say will be used for or against you in a court of law. I have explained the basic protocols, so let's begin," Namjoon informed and slightly tilted his head to crack his neck.

"I already told you I ain't talking to an amateur-"

"Cut the bullcrap, bitch! Either start speaking or get ready to be tortured. This isn't a normal prison where you can plead 'fifth'. Either start talkin' or you will be tortured in various ways possible to pull out the truth from you." Namjoon ordered, slamming his hand on the table.

Jungkook almost lost a second on how to breathe.

"Well then, go ahead and try," Jungkook smirked and put up his strong facade to look intimidating.

Namjoon breathed and closed his eyes momentarily.

"Don't get intimidated by the people around you! You were chosen based on the special skill you hold. You were chosen to rule over and not get ducked down. Remember that!"

Namjoon slowly opened his eyes to face the male before him.

If he can't make him submit, he will try to make him spill the facts that he requires at the moment.

"You were a student at X University and one of the finest students. What made you quit the college?"

"It's irrelevant and I won't answer-"

"It also says that you had a specific interest in sports, but you never enrolled for it though. May I know why?"

"It's none of your business!" Jungkook screamed but immediately gulped back a lump to sit firmly and pasted a straight look over his face.

Namjoon perked an eyebrow in amusement. He had finally struck a chord in the male's heart. He was ready to throw the main questions.

"A day before your graduation you met someone. One of your peers confirmed that you went to meet a guy that they presumed to be your boyfriend but you never returned-"

"I said don't ask me those questions," Jungkook growled in a low tone, his veins popped up in his forearms at the amount of pressure he put in his fisted hands.

"A man who was supposed to be attending his graduation fest. A man who was supposed to finally complete his degree and live an independent life. A man who was ready to enrol in the sports club and give his best to accomplish his dreams-"

"You are here to ask me about the burglaries, right? Fine, listen. I have committed all of them with a sound mind and with my free will. It was done by me and only me." Jungkook screamed and the sound raised eight octaves high with his eyes moistening.

"Do you think I came here to know that? I didn't spend my two days after locking you here knowing that you were the thief. We already have an abundant proof for that and you would be behind the bars for that even without your confession."

"Then why the fuck are you interrogating me?" Jungkook's last bit of patience was tearing his heart apart.

"A wise man wants to know your part of the story. He says he believes in you. He would like to listen to your story irrespective of the abundant evidence against you to prove that you are just a mere theif. Your eyes tell a different story, Jungkook. And he would like to know and is eagerly waiting to hear that," Namjoon explained softly and pointed towards the wall behind him.

It was an interrogation room that could be viewed from the outside but the people inside it could only see brick walls and nothing more.

And Park Jimin sat there behind the walls. A soft smile grew over his lips as he saw the improvement in Namjoon's work.

"What makes him think that way?" Jungkook asked with a low tone.

"At first, I thought my duty was to make you confess. But he let me know that it was beyond that. So, I went around in search of the data required to find the truth-"

"And what did you find out?" Jungkook chuckled dryly unable to sink into the situation.

"That you were proposed by a guy in your final year and that male had been consistently taking interest in your projects about vaults and stuff. He was the last person you met before disappearing. And that he is related to your current condition," Namjoon answered.

"Did you find the guy?" Jungkook asked with a hopeless tone.

"Apparently, no. But we might find him if you confess," Namjoon answered.

"Confess what?"

"The name of the person who put you into this line of work. If we could get access to that information, it wouldn't take much time to catch that man as well," Namjoon answered.

"What if I still don't want to answer?" Jungkook leaned over the table and stared at the wall behind Namjoon.

"Why do you think I haven't disclosed any information? Why do you think I am adamant enough to take the blame over me?"

Jungkook shifted his gaze from the wall to Namjoon who sat across the table in front of him, "Because I still believe he will pull me out of this. He will save me from your hands-"

"Fine then, I will let you go," Namjoon announced.

"Wait, what?"

"You are free to go," Namjoon repeated and pointed his finger towards the door.

Jungkook's handcuffs instantly opened up and the door to the room as well. Jimin sighed as he sat back rocking back and forth over the chair.

Jungkook didn't think twice and rushed out the door and Namjoon stood up to watch him run.

A/n:- Okay! So, tell me your theories!!!

Why do you think Namjoon let Jungkook run?

What was the point of catching him in the first place?

How will Jimin react to this?

Where do you think Jungkook will go?

Hope you guys liked the chapter!
