A tiny cloud of smoke left her pink lips as she stared at the ticking hand of the vintage clock in her office. Time was a crucial thing. If they don't act fast, everything she built would go to ashes.

Vultures were surrounding her, to eat on her flesh while she's still alive.

Placing the cigar back on her lips she sucked in more of the smoke, her eyes closed as she let out a sigh. She was waiting for a specific call, she wanted information of V.

Her target was him.

She seemed to be lost in her thoughts, drowning in a misery she wish she could run from. Until a certain man came into her mind. The man who made her feel warm. She wondered what he was doing.

She had nothing to do with the Kim's now, and has practically dropped everything related to them. Though she did leave some people to keep and eye on them for their own safety.

Namjoon was upto something, she knew that. She heard rumours about how he had found a girlfriend for himself.

A girlfriend? What is it to be a girlfriend for an innocent man?

To feel his warmth on you, to feel his love.

"Not your business anymore Angel" she whispered to herself. "You have more things to deal with than dealing with a stupid heart"

The ring on her phone made her sigh, she dropped the cigar and stepped on it, crushing it in the process. There were a few more cigarette butt's on the floor, she hadn't let anyone into her office to clean this room.

"Angelina Scott speaking, how can I help you" She asked as she started fumbling with the pen on her table.

The response from the other side made her smile, declining the call she immediately picked her burner phone from the drawer and dialled a number. In a few seconds the call was answered and she heard the voice of the man she was targeting.

V.

"Code" his voice was stern.

A code? She thought, probably to confirm the identity of the caller which means he uses this number to contact his boss. GD.

"Bumble bee?" Angelina snickered as she heard his shift around.

"Witch" he spoke as if he was disgusted by her.

"You could recognise my voice? How cute" she giggled making the man sigh from his side.

"What do you want" he asks as if he wanted to get over this as soon as possible.

"What's the rush V, I'm just trying to be friendly here" she spoke calmly as ever.

"Okay friend, what do you want?" He asked again.

"Just some information you know, Is Astro still alive?" She questioned him.

"Yes he is, that is all I can say you now" V answers as if he's anxious and she notices it.

"Maybe we should meet up, I've known you for so many years and I'm so curious about how you are so good in combat, who did you learn from?"

V was anxious for sure, the words of his colleague ran in his mind. Witch will find you, threaten you.

"Listen Angelina Scott, this is the last time we will ever speak. If you are smart enough you will stay away from me" his words made her frown.

"Seems like you don't wanna be my friend, how sad" Witch sighs dramatically.
"I know who you are V"

Taehyung's heart sank. Those were the words he dreaded to hear. Will she tell his brother's? Is he going to be screwed? Is it time for him to run away or kill himself?

"Liar" he denied.

"I'm anything but a Liar"
Witch knew her words had an impact so she continued. "I have my sources to get information of the people I want just like your boss does, I know who you are and I know where you are" she smirked.

The number was being tracked and she managed to buy enough time for her partner in crime, hoseok to locate where V was. They already had the address.

The screen on her laptop showed the location, she frowned when she noticed that he was close to Jungkook's University. That's weird.

"Your identity will be revealed in the next twenty four hours if you don't reach the location I'm sending you-"

"You're playing with the wrong one" V cut her off.

"Oh Korean bastard, I know who I am playing with"

She knows him, she knows him.

Taehyung was a mess. Although his boss had told to let her reach him he still didn't want to. But nothing can be done now. She already knew him. He has to think and work well. He has to do something.

"Bubye V" Angel declined the call and sighed.

Hoseok walked into the room, and plopped himself on the couch at the corner of the room.

"Who is V? Do you really know him?" He asks.

"No idea, I just know that he is Korean. And this kind of trick always works" she chuckles making him join in too.

"Are you going alone?" He asks and she nods.
"You sure about that? We just had an accident not long ago, it's too dangerous" he was worried.

"I know what I'm doing hobi, GD might already know that I'm meeting V, he will capture me. But I know what to do. Just keep the men in standby in any case" she orders and he nods.

"Don't let the others know that I'm going alone, that will interrupt the plan" she says making him nod yet again.

"Any news from Jimin?" Angel stands up and shuts her laptop down. She was about to leave her office.

"No, I just know that he left to his hometown. Haven't heard from him yet" hoseok says making her nod.

"Try to bring him back, all of us has to stick together at a time like this" she grabs her jacket and walks towards the door, hoseok followed her out the room.

"That's right, me, you, yoongi and Jimin. We can only rely on each other" he says making her smile. She pats his head and leaves the office with a heavy heart. There's so many things bothering her. She wanted some fresh air.

She stepped onto the road and walked down the pavement, it was dark already and the street lights lit the roads.

It was a pretty calm view, no one in sight just her on her own. The wind brushed past her, and she smiled.

She was lonely just like the moon that hung on the dark sky.

Halting her steps she looked up at the bright moon and smiled.

"I'm fine" she whispered, "Just a bit tired"

"Angel?"

Footsteps neared her as she looked at her side, there stood Jang Junwoo.

"Jang, what you doing here?" She asked and the two started walking together down the pavement.

"Just walking home because I wanted some fresh air, what about you?"

"Same" she replied with a smile. "How's your wife?"

"She's fine, but can't sleep at nights cause it's uncomfortable being pregnant" he says and huffs out a laugh and she joins. "Hope everything is going fine for ya'll"

"Not really, but eventually it will be"

"You're heading to Matt's right" he says and she nodded.

"He's a good guy you know" he hints and she rolls her eyes.

"I know" she sighs. Her phone tinged indicating that she received a message. "Excuse me" she took her phone out and checked the screen.

The name that popped up made her frown.

It was Namjoon.

"𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒑, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒚 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆"

She panicked. "Junwoo, I have to go, see ya later" Before he could reply she ran off in full speed. She had to find a taxi because the carnival was quite far from where she was.

There was no vehicle around here, no one in sight because it was too late at night.

Usually she just ignores his messages and calls, he had tried his best to contact her during the past few months but eventually he stopped. She was in peace when she realized he had moved on. He was the best she could ever have, but he deserves more than best and that was not her.

This sudden message had triggered her very much, she immediately dialled Hyun-Jin.

"Boss?"

"Hyun, send a team to the carnival, Namjoon seems to be in trouble. I'm too far away right now, but I'll be there in ten" she panted as she ran.

"Right away!"

Angel stopped on her tracks as she reached the main road. Left or right? She seemed to have forgotten directions in this rush. There was no taxi in sight but there were several cars parked around the corner.

One of them might have a key in there right?

She reached the first car and checked inside through the window, there was nothing that could help her. The next was the same, she checked around five cars and today seems to be a day where the drivers haven't forgotten to forget their keys in the car.

She had no other choice.

She charged at the window of the passenger seat of the car close to her, it shattered into several pieces and pierced through her skin. Blood started trickling down her knuckles.

But she didn't care. The alarm in the car went off, alerting the whole area.

She opened the car door and crawled to the drivers seat and started searching for a key and luckily there was. Before anyone would come and stop her she immediately set off to the road.

As fast as she could.

She wouldn't be able to be at peace if something happened to him.
