" Who is this? Is he one of the suspects?" Jimin asked.
" No he is one of the victims." Jin said as he took out some more photos.
" These are all the girls and guys who had went missing in these past six months. They all are around Taehyung's age and looking at them, all of them are good looking." Jin explained.
" This is Choi Soobin. He is 19."
" This is Im Na-yeon. She is 21."
" This is Lee Felix. He is 19."
" This is Chou Tyu-zu. She is 22."
" This is Byun Baekhyun. He is 22."
" This Kwon Soon-young. He is 18."
" There were some others too. But Taehyung was able to recognize these six." Namjoon said.
" When we had found that they were missing we had interrogated their parents. Some of their parents said that nothing was suspicious but some of them said that their son/daughter had told them that they felt someone following them." Namjoon said.
" So that means that these six must be the same as Taehyung right now...." Yoongi said.
" But how can there be no clue left? The kidnappers must have been caught on some CCTV?" Jungkook asked.
" No. They haven't been caught on any CCTV's. We looked at the CCTV's of the whole day of every victim as per their kidnapping date. But the part where they must have been kidnapped is deleted. We came to know that it was hacked and that parts were removed by the culprits. But from all of that we deduced that the culprits must be very good at technology and those stuffs." Jin said.
" We didn't know when and where Taehyung must have been kidnapped. So when we asked him questions yesterday, we found out that the last place he remembers was a lone road." Jin said.

" Did you interrogate Taehyung's boss?" Jungkook asked.
" I did. His boss said that Taehyung used to look outside as if someone was stalking him one week ago the incident." Sungjae said.
" The only option left is to check black box of any car that was there." Jin said.
" As per the CCTV's at that lone road, there were only 3 cars which were in their same position before and after the deleted part where Taehyung got kidnapped. So there are much chances to get some clue about the culprits there." Jin said.
" That's all we could find from yesterday. Now we have to find the further information ourselves." Namjoon said.
" Taehyung's boss is also going to help us because he claims that Taehyung was very dear to him." Jin said but sighed.
" But we have decided not to call him." He continued and everyone there leaving Namjoon furrowed their eyebrows in confusion.
" Why? I mean- Taehyung's boss is a nice person. Some extra help would be nice..." Jimin said.
" We should not believe anyone blindly. Taebear's boss seemed suspicious. I studied his facial expressions when Joonie interrogated him, he looked nervous and scared. And I have solved enough cases to know that expression." Jin said.
" We tried to scare him so that he can answer but he never fucking opened his mouth." Namjoon clenched his fist.
" Or you could just bribe him and the work's done." Jungkook said.
Namjoon sighed.
" We are not that rich to bribe him Jungkook. Or else we would have done it a long time ago." He said.
" But I can help!" He said. Seokjin shook his head.
" We don't need your help for money Jungkook." Seokjin stood up.

" Wait! I am not helping you all with money. We will just use it to bribe him. Please! Just try out for this once!" Jungkook requested.
" Jungkook is right. If he doesn't get scared by all your interrogations, that means he is well fed by whoever had kidnapped Taehyung. Just give him more money and he will open his mouth instantly." Yoongi said calmly.
" Hmm.....ok. Let's not waste time and go now." Seokjin said.
" All of us won't go there. Only me, Jin, Jungkook and Sungjae will go. The rest of you three, stay here with Taehyung." Namjoon said.
" But I wanna go with hyung too!!" Taehyung whined and Jungkook looked at him.
" You should wait here Tae. We will go and come quickly ok?" Jungkook said but Taehyung continued whining.
" But-"
" Tae... Listen to Namjoon hyung ok?" Jungkook now commanded Taehyung who pouted.
" Fine!" He said and glitched and disappeared.
All of them looked at Jungkook. He raised his eyebrow.
" What? Let's go." He said and they were off to Taehyung's boss' place.
( At his place)
" I have already told you what I knew. Please don't disturb me or I will have to take actions on you." Sung-ho, Taehyung's boss said.
Jungkook sighed and finally came forward.
" So you won't answer till you are paid off huh?" Jungkook mumbled.
" Excuse me? Did you say something?" Sung-ho asked and Jungkook nodded.
" I am Jeon Jungkook. How much do you want to give us answers?" He directly asked making the other widen his eyes.
" Sorry what are y-?"
" 1 million."
" Look kid I-"
" 10 million."
" I don't know an-"
" 50 million."
" Stop it Jeon. I do-"
" 100 million."
" It was Lee Tech. They wanted to experiment on something related to mobiles. I don't know what but they needed Taehyung for that work so they gave me 25 million for that work. I had to just tell Taehyung to go to a lone street and then my work was done." Sung-ho spat making Jungkook smirk.
" You are under arrest Park Sung-ho for helping in kidnapping." Namjoon came out of the cover they were hiding in. They had recorded his confession.
Sung-ho looked at Jungkook.
" You little piece of shit! How dare you!?" He yelled as the police held him back from attacking Jungkook.
" How dare you let Tae get kidnapped? He had so much faith in you and you gave him to some people to experiment on!?" Jungkook asked back.
" Drag him to the cell." Namjoon ordered as Sung-ho was hand-cuffed and taken away by the police.
" We are coming for you Lee."

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
