3 Catch Me If You Can

❝With that rigidly determined voice in my mind, you know, I am unstoppable.❞

[Continued]

The front door was again getting opened and I heard more voices. 'Why none of you are coming out? Tae, Jin, Hobi-yah? What's going on?'

How many of them are there?

Am I getting trapped?

Guess there's only one thing left to do.

I pulled out my gun and aimed at the light bulbs. With the loud crack of the bulbs breaking into shards of glass, slight chaos arose in the room. The room turned totally dark. Several guns loaded and footsteps were heard in full form of rush. I quickly got up securing the files with my belt then rushed towards the stairs avoiding everything and every person on my way, until I bumped into someone or something just before the stairs, however, I was in too much hurry to pay heed to what it was.

'Hyung! What's going on?'

'Somebody's trying to steal our files!' It was Taehyung who yelled.

'Holy shit!!'

'Hyung! I can't see in the dark!'

This was my chance! I rushed to the room through which I got into the dorm. The moment I proceeded towards the window, I was harshly pulled back by someone's rigid hand. I tried to release myself from his grip throwing a punch towards his jaw. He managed to overcome and pushed me again. I lost my balance, thudding on the floor with him along with me. He climbed on my top, twitching both my arms on either side with the strong grip of his that I found hard to resist, I closed my eyes tightly with the intuition of getting hit.

A few seconds passed, I felt nothing. I slowly opened my eyes. The faint moonlight was entering through the open window, only to illuminate the person in order to leave me struck, to make me a question.

What was he?

A human?

Can a gangster be this beautiful?

...How?

The silver hair swayed along with the gentle breeze like drifting autumn leaves, a few bangs lying calmly on his forehead. His heart-shaped plump lips looked delicate and extremely kissable as if made out of a strawberry. His dark chocolate eyes looked directly into mine, not moving even for a millisecond. Instead of the cold gaze he was supposed to attain that time, it seemed really warm and soft. A stream of adrenaline gushed in my arteries, regardless of the situation I was in. His body was partly touching mine, enabling me to feel those toned abs under the thin fabric embracing his torso. My whole self went stiff, not willing to respond at all.

Tick-tock time passed, with me being completely unaware of how much it had. He slowly shifted his position, drawing his hand near my face. It fell on my mask, slowly pulling it down.

There was a noise downstairs.

'He must have headed upstairs. And he took the files. We gotta catch him. Fast!' It made me snap back to the real world.

…what the hell was I doing?

His grip on my arm had become loose. Taking its advantage, I immediately pushed him off and skidded towards the window. He let out a gasp and tried to catch me again. His hands landed on my beanie, pulling it off. The rushing sounds of footsteps had reached the room then, bringing in the rest of the people inside.

'Suga, don't shoot in the da-' before the sentence could attain its end, a sound of a gunshot echoed in the room twice. A string of pain needled my calf. Clenching my jaw, I managed to jump off to the land.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, I shriveled in pain holding my leg. Damn, it hurts like hell!

Dragging myself up, I started to run as fast as I could, however, slowing down per second instead. I barely but did succeed to reach the car, my face had already turned reddest in pain then. I threw myself inside, locking the door afterward. The lower part of my pant was getting wet. Must have started bleeding in full motion now, I guess.

I started the engine and hit the accelerator. With the condition of my leg, I don't think I will be able to cross much distance before they catch up with me.

Need to find out some alternative…

Jimin's P.O.V-

We rushed out of the dorm, a dark vehicle-like structure dashing away immediately caught our eyes. 'Everybody get in!' all of us jumped in their own seats while Yoongi took control over the driver's one. Namjoon yelled, 'Quick! We need to catch him at any cost, or else we are screwed for sure.'

'Did hyung's bullet hit him though?' Jungkook asked. 'Dunno, but if it did, he won't be able to get away fast, we will be able to catch up with him easily.' he replied.

'I told you not to shoot in the dark, any of us could've got hurt.' Hoseok said. Yoongi just rolled his eyes keeping focused on the road, 'Well none of us got. So save it.'

'But Jimin,' Jin looked at me, 'How did you get upstairs before us? Weren't you with us?'

'I was standing before the stairs when I bumped into someone, it didn't seem like any of us. So I knew it was the intruder and followed upstairs.'

'Then why didn't you catch him?' he further asked. 'Well, I tri-' 'Hyung! There he is! That's the car!' Jungkook yelled staring out the window. His index pointed towards a clustered dark structure speeding away in a fast motion, piercing through the darkness.

'He turned right! We are getting closer.' His eyes were never moving away from the direction. 'I think my bullet did hurt him. See, he can't speed up enough.' Yoongi said with pride.

'Get me the gun, Kookie.' Namjoon spoke in a firm dead voice, 'I'm doing the job this time.' Jungkook handed him the gun. Getting his upper body slightly out of the window, Namjoon aimed at the car. 'But what about the files? What if they get destroyed?' I asked.

'We can always arrange for them. For now, the most important thing is to not let them get into other's hands. I am going to blow up the car.' Taking a few seconds for getting a perfect aim, he pushed the trigger. Few seconds passed further. nothing happened.

'Yoongi-ah, bring me closer. I can't find the gas tank.'

'Aye.' Yoongi sped up a bit, shortening the distance between both the cars. Namjoon aimed again and shot. Just after the shortest seconds, the car in front blasted into flames. The noise growled like a lion, shattering the prevailing silence of the region.

'Mission accomplished.' he put down the gun, a huge smile of satisfaction crawling over his lips.

The car was shattered into pieces, slowly smoldering into a wreck, parts and parts scattered all around. We stopped the car a few meters away then got out. Yoongi said with a cold smirk on his face, 'Hope he rests in peace.'

'What's with that 'he' y'all using since the beginning?' I said, 'It wasn't a he, it was a she.'

'What? Chinchayo?' all turned back towards me at once, with a hint of surprise dominating their faces. 'Why are you all so surprised? Didn't you realize that the intruder was a girl?' I was more surprised than they were. Taehyung said in confusion, 'Well, she was so strong! She almost led me to death.' Jin spoke, 'But it can't be a woman. Why would anyone send a girl to steal from our dorm?'

'What's wrong with sending a girl?' Hoseok arched an eyebrow. Namjoon took initiative to stop the debate that was about to rise, 'Ahh… stop it. Arguing with each other won't change the gender of a person. Hobi, I gave you those files to keep them safe. Did you leave them on the sofa or what?'

Hoseok hesitated a bit before replying, 'Well, we were getting late. So, I decided to keep them behind the sofa for the time being. I thought I would keep them back in the safe place after we return. I-I didn't think that anyone would dare to intrude in our place and-'

'Yeah! Now see what happened,' Namjoon's voice rose, trying his best to hide the temper, 'That's why she was able to find them out that easy. And we were almost about to let her escape.'

Jin reiterated, 'I just remembered- Jimin, as I asked before in the car, you were upstairs before us. Why couldn't you catch her?'

I opened my mouth to give off a reply, but no word succeeded in being able to come out, as, I didn't have any answer at all. Instead, I asked myself. Why couldn't I catch her? I did catch her but why couldn't I stop her that moment? I had her right in my grip, then? What happened?

My memories flashed back to the moment. Her eyes... I can remember the gaze. The way they stared, they were meaningful, full of emotions. Too unreal, beautiful like of anime characters. She was too close. I got stuck at that moment. I was about to pull off the mask, but she pushed me off. I wonder how she looked like. Nevertheless, I won't be able to see her again anyway.

'Hyung, look!' Jungkook ran towards the smashed car and thumped on an object lying on the ground to extinguish the flames. He beckoned at us, 'The files!'

Namjoon took the files from his hands and examined. 'These are all burnt. Better enough.' His voice changed into a hurried one, 'Now everybody, get into the car. We must leave. The cops may arrive anytime if they get informed.' 'Shouldn't we go and check the body?' Yoongi asked,

'Oh c'mon, it might've got burnt in the fire and turned into ashes already. Let's go. We don't have enough time.' Everybody agreeing, moved back to the car.

Y/N's P.O.V-

As soon as the car went out of sight, I stretched myself out from the hiding place. My body was wounded badly and attained bruises here and there. I should've remained more careful before jumping out. I stared at the rising flames in a distance. My phone was left inside so it must have got burnt too. Urgh...

I took out a small gadget and clicked on it. It would automatically inform the agency about my position. I sent off a short message, 'Pick me up. I'm injured.'

I took off my contacts then leaned back, in wait for the arrival of backup. Rolling up my pants a bit, I checked the wound. It seemed quite deep. The bleeding was still going on, but lesser than before. I took off my shirt and tied it around the wound to stop the bleeding.

My mind wandered back to the earlier moments, a fit of sudden anger rose up in my mind as I recalled the whole thing. I conducted several missions before and fell into these sorts of situations a lot too. But it was the first time I was so impulsive and acted like a rookie.

...Why?

Was it because….?

The dark green Ford stopped before the line of the concrete footpath. I got in.

'What happened?'

'Guess a tiny mission turned out to be super hard for me.'

'Omo, what happened to your leg? Aish! Is it bleeding a lot?'

'Lesser than before.'

'Did you get the files though?'

'I couldn't get the files but I did take a quick snapshot of the inside pages. Not all of them though.' I handed over a mini camera to the person. A short gasp escaped my mouth in the slightest movement.

'Alright. You did enough. Take some rest now.'

'I know I need some. Actually a lot.' No sooner had I finished, I emerged into a deep sleep without even realizing.
