THE SILENCE was beginning to become unbearable. he really couldn't bring himself to turn on the earwig and actually hear what they were all saying. it's only been maybe, three minutes, and taehyung was about to ready to drive off the docks and straight to the bottom of the river.

"dude you've gotta pull yourself together." jimin had said after picking up the phone. part of him was expecting this, but the other part was also feeling the same way.

taehyung just sighed and ran his hands though his hair. "i don't know how you guys do this for a living." he says, wondering what the rest of the guys must be feeling, or simply thinking. maybe they didn't have time to think, maybe this was all just action and no consideration for what they were actually doing.

"some people just aren't good at many things, jungkooks good at this." the blonde boy said, just leaning back in his chair and watching the cameras, "and he was able to find people who are good at it too."

right now he was having two conversations, one with the nervous wreck hiding in the alley, and another with the rest of the team. hoseok had gotten to his position, hiding in the darkness of the setting sun and shadows with his little set up, a focused eye looking through the scope to watch over the outside of the holding.

"you're all clear so far." he had said, speaking over the frequency so the rest could hear.

jungkook listened in, waiting behind namjoon after they climbed up the fire escape. he had surveyed this side of the building, the only windows too high for someone on the inside to see form ground level. hoseok had used the lens to look through the windows and search for any sources of heat, so far only counting nine possible people in the inside.

they were outnumbered, but jungkook almost enjoyed that. it wouldn't be a true success without some challenge. oh had he thought that too soon.

"alright, thanks hobi." he said, nudging his hyung who began to pick the lock on the side door on the roof. namjoon only needed a second before the lock clattered to the ground and they were in.

on the inside, the two boys crouched, only now seeing the first time what they were actually working with. it looked a lot different then the blueprints and digital plans that jimin had constructed based on those prints. the two sat on a metal walkway and railing, maybe four stories up that wrapped around the building and looked over a vast open space. there was no actual floors beside the ground on, looking almost like an open airplane hangar to provide the room for all the shipments they got.

"i see five." namjoon said, whispering quietly and only peering enough over to get a count of people on the first floor.

jungkook nodded and counted as well, and then recounted. "we're missing four hoseok." he said, remembering the nine heat signatures from before.

"i'm looking." the boy on the roof a few building away had said, scanning the building and trying to find what he had seen earlier. "hold on," he said, "there's a truck coming."

"jimin." jungkook got the boys attention from back in the lab, now sitting up and changing screens to try and find a camera that gave him a view of this said truck.

"okay so there's a truck coming up on the dock side." the blonde said, seeing the way it pulled up and started to back into the large building. there were three men outside, the last one they were looking for probably driving the truck. "you think that's the load?" jimin asked, trying to zoom in but not getting the right angle to see inside the back.

"we're going to find out," jungkook said, adjusting the gun strap over his shoulder and searching for a way down from their spot up too. he judged namjoon and the two started to quietly walk towards the right where a ladder led down to another platform below. "yoongi and jin, take care of the two, hoseok you get the third and the driver. we will cover the inside."

originally, the plan was to just sneak in and out, a method based purely on stealth. they knew that would have the changed based on what they encountered. obviously it wasn't that surprising to see more guys here on the night of a drug ship. they had more then one firearm on them, but they lacked actual billets. jungkook may have been crazy to suggest guns, but at least he was not willing to kill anyone and only use darts filled with diazepam anticonvulsants.

this also required jimin to specifically load each with a specific amount that wouldn't be lethal, but also gave them enough time to get their job down. the window was 15-30 minutes before the sedatives would wear off, which means jungkook wanted them out of there in 10.

"heard." the boys had responded with, knowing what they had to do now.

hoseok would wait on the two boys at the dock, waiting until they secured their targets before he'd take out the last two.

yoongi and jin were still standing by the water, nerves on edge as they opened the cooler and fishing bag as practiced, except this time they weren't filled with snacks or bait. the truck was maybe twenty yards away to their right, no one paying them any attention as they lounged casually in their fishing chairs and bucket hats.

jimin watched patiently, his leg bouncing with rising anxiety as he monitored the traffic cameras and just waited. he was in the same state as the brunette in the alley, just sitting there and not seeing anything. taehyung finally had the guts to turn on his earwig, listening to the team talk and wait for the simple signal from their leader. he didn't dare speak, too nervous to wait and see how this would play out. he should be.

jungkook and namjoon had made it to the ground level, backs against a few crates stacked tall and keeping them hidden. "ten yards to your left, there's two of them. i've got three on the right same distance." the older said, using the mirror on his gun to peek around the corner of the crates.

"alright guys, we move in ten." the ravenette said, his grip tightening on the gun in his hands as he stared at his watch and counted the seconds, "secure your targets."

it was deadly silent. no one heard anything beside the rush of blood in their own ears, and then jungkook gave the command. a single word that pushed everything into motion, everyone coming out from their hiding spots and striking their prey until their backs hit the floor and eyes rolled back.

not even a minute had passed, and the nine men had been taken out and lay sedated on the building floor and dock side.

yoongi and jin had walked into the building, more of a quick jog considered the time limit they had. the other two inside were already waiting for them, an odd expression on both of their faces. they all stood there in front of the truck, seeing the bags of money waiting for them to take.

hoseok was still looking through the scope from his position on top of the building, but he paused for a second, simply listening to the eerily calmness that came after their surprise attack. "am i the only one thinking of how easy that was?" he said through their communications.

he wasn't. jungkook looked around the room, seeing the bodies knocked out and the money in front of them. something was off, this wasn't right. "no, you're not."

and it was. because before anyone could say anything else, or even make a move to get out of there, jimin felt his stomach fall out of his the way he almost fell off the chair from sitting up so fast. "guys." he said, seeing the way a new car came flying into frame of one of back traffic cameras. too many men came climbing out of the car, but it was the one that stopped as the others ran to the building, his eyes looking up at the camera and seemingly peering into the blonde boys soul. the stranger grinned, a sick and knowing smirk, just before raising a gun and knocking out all of jimins visuals.

"we've been compromised," the panic was evident in jimins voice, no longer sitting as his fingers flew over the keyboard. "guys i have nothing, i can't see anything. get out of there now!"

it's sometimes unfair how things can change so quickly. a single moment only lasting a few minutes, but it feels like forever, and it alters the future even more. that's all he could think about, the way he had walked his team into an ambush — and even with the worst thoughts on his mind, jungkook wasn't ready for what happened to his future after tonight.
