Jimin swiftly made his way down the empty halls of the building, cautiously peering left and right. His feet landed heavily against the carpeted flooring, but he was silent in his motions, careful not to get caught as he turned down another long hallway. 

All was calm until a crackle sounded from Jimin's earpiece, alerting the male to an incoming message from one of the guys. So drawing in a sharp breath, Jimin rose a hand to his ear to listen to the oncoming voice. 

"Everyone stay on your toes."

It was Hoseok's voice loud and clear through the earpiece, a slight hint of concern in his usually steady tone, 

"The boss man is gone."

Breath hitching in his throat, Jimin lowered his hand from his ear.
He suddenly grew tense as he glided deeper down the halls. 

Shaking off his worries, Jimin clenched his fists by his side as he neared the sight where he'd hidden his weapon. Although things just got more complicated, Jimin had to keep a clear mind as he followed through with this mission.
One slip up could cause Bangtan's downfall...

Rounding one final corner Jimin's worries seemingly evaporated as he finally reached the place he was searching for. He bore the facial expression of one expecting a great gift as he strode through the open door frame and into an old living room. 
The furniture was lined with golden accents, but most of it was clouded, the decorative lounges and chairs covered in a thin layer of dust. 

Sweeping a hand through his hair, Jimin made his way over the worn carpet rug to the wall. There was a hint of triumph in his smile as he ran his hand carefully over the skirting board attached to the wall. His fingers traced over it until they reached a crack, digging behind the loose material and pulling it out from the wall. The piece of skirting came away with ease, allowing for Jimin to reach in and take out his twin pair of polished knifes,
"Bingo." Jimin smirked, the blades reflecting his expression as he stood up and kicked the skirting board back into place. 

He spun the weapons in-between his fingers not paying much attention to where he was stepping because soon enough he found himself stumbling on his feet. 
Letting out a lace of curses, Jimin almost fell over before he managed to regain his balance, dusting himself off before shooting a glare behind him to whatever he had managed to trip over. 

His expression faltered, 

Eyes growing wide...

He had no doubt tripped over the corner of the rug, kicking it up just enough to reveal the floorboards underneath. But that wasn't what was bothering him, no, it was something else entirely...

Tapping a finger against the corner of his glasses, Hoseok watched as small glowing screens of data swept in front of his vision. 
His eyes remained glued to the screens, the male supporting a frown as he made his way quickly down the halls connected to the main foyer. 

After noticing a small glitch in the camera system, Hoseok had made a direct b-line for the security room, gaining the reassurance from both Daisy and Jungkook that they would be fine on their own. 

He further picked up his pace, adjusting his glasses against the bridge of his nose as he studied the building layout on one of the small screens. He only had to glance at it once before removing his glasses entirely, focusing on the twisting corridors in front of him as he made his way towards the security room. 

Moving quietly, he rounded a few corners, sweeping past a couple of closed doors before he finally reached his destination. He glued his feet to the floor, adjusting the cuffs of his suit jacket before reaching to take hold of the door handle. 

With a look of pure concentration Hoseok jittered the handle a little before it twisted, the door flying open with a satisfying click allowing for Hoseok to waltz on inside. 
He slammed the door shut behind him, heaving a drastic sigh before his eyes rose to the scene in front of him. 

It was just as expected, screens and monitors scattered across one side of the room, each displaying a different part of Delgracy hall. They changed angles every few seconds, and taking his back away from the door Hoseok's eyes immediately began to scan the multiple screens for the right one. 

The room was dark, the glow of the monitors illuminating Hoseok's features as he moved closer, eyes locking onto the screen. He slipped himself into the chair, resting one elbow on the desk whilst his fingers wrapped around the mouse beside the keyboard. He moved it about, changing the angles of the cameras before the low sound of crackling erupted from his earpiece. 

Hoseok paused what he was doing as he rose a hand to his ear to listen into the conversation. 

"Hoseok?"

He frowned, "Jimin?" leaning back in his chair, Hoseok's eyes moved back to the monitors as he tried to locate the orange haired male, "Is there a problem?"

"Um..." the male paused as a sheepish chuckle erupted from the other side of the line, "I don't know if this might be a problem or not..."

"Just spit it out Jimin." Hoseok was at the end of his patience as he moved around the mouse, trying his best to quickly get eyes on where Jimin might be.

A sigh came across the line before the male spoke once more, "I think..." Jimin let out a curse before he continued, "I think I may've found an entirely new level."

Eyes growing wide, Hoseok shot up from his seat, "WHAT!?"

He could practically hear Jimin roll his eyes from across the line before the younger male's voice sounded through once more, "I said... I think-"

There was a low crackle, like popping in Hoseok's ear before the device began to ring out with a piercing noise. It shrilled before Hoseok's face shrivelled and he let out a curse, pulling the device off his ear and tossing it aside, "Fuck!" He exclaimed, gritting his teeth as he held a hand to his ear. 
It throbbed in pain, but biting down against his lower lip he tried his best to ignore it as he turned back to the computer screens. With urgency, he pulled up a couple of new tabs, entering some security passwords before his fears were confirmed. 

Hoseok could only stand and watch in horror as three new sets of security footage expanded across the screens, the cameras all focused on a new basement level, one that was not provided in any of the plans. 

There was a moment of calm, a moment where Hoseok simply kept his eyes glued to the screens. And then, the realisation began to bubble up until he erupted with fury. 

"No fucking way!" Hoseok exclaimed, grinding his teeth as he tugged at the roots of his hair. He let out another curse as he grabbed a hold of the keyboard, slamming it against the table in a fit of rage. 

His breaths came heavy, the male sinking back down into the desk chair as he rested his face in the palms of his hands.
He sat there, calming himself down. 
He simply focused on the silence, it was no use loosing his cool now when there was still so much ahead of them. But there was a new level, new possibilities for the crime syndicate. The others might not've seen it, but Hoseok knew that their plan had already gone bust... 

He missed this...
he overlooked something. 

He needed to let Jimin know...
Bringing his head out from his hands, Hoseok's rage was replaced by growing fear as his eyes flickered back over to the computer monitors, the hacker working away as he navigated through the cameras of the hidden floor. Jimin was out of speaking range, so Hoseok could only sit and watch as he finally brought up one of the pixelated camera footages. 

The range of view was short, but he could clearly see Jimin's bright orange head of hair creeping down one of the basement hallways. Hoseok watched as the male stopped in front of a slightly opened door, peering inside. 

But that was the least of his worries. 

Hoseok's facial expression sunk faster then a penny on a pond, his skin became icy and pale as white itself. Was he even breathing? Every thought in his mind was silenced into denial as he watched in disbelief, 

As a shadowed figure loomed behind Jimin.
