《Protected by BTS》Chapter 55: Lockdown
Advertisement
The barrel of the gun stared down your sights and the man with the automated voice was intent on having his way. "Drop it." The robotic voice coming from his mask commanded. Immediately, your fingers elongated and let the phone drop to the floor. The phone cracked slightly upon impact and the man kicked it further away from your reach, most likely creating more cracks into the screen.
"You're Bangtan's new little toy, huh?" He said as more of a statement as he walked towards you. You took this small chance and gambled on speed. Reaching for his gun, you held his wrist up in the air before he could try to shoot you. Taken back, you elbowed his gut, causing him to flinch and double over.
He pulled your arms away and spun you around, trying to enclose you. With your back on his chest, you threw your head back, knocking his jaw. You were both disoriented as head butting is a two way pain street.
You stumbled over to where he kicked your phone and quickly sent your 'SOS' message to the rest of the boys.
A gunshot rang out, making you freeze on the floor. The phone still in your hand, you were successful in sending it. The man had shot right next to your ear, making you momentarily deaf. The constant and annoying ringing of the shot, buzzing in your ear. The man grew angry, ordering you to, "Drop the phone." But you couldn't hear him.
He realized this and rolled his eyes. His gaze turned to his left where your laptop was wide open and showed all the work you've been doing.
Dragging you by the hair, he placed the laptop in front of you. He pushed the barrel of the gun to your temple and you gasped in fear. "Lift the security measures. Let us get out of here or I'll shoot you and figure it out myself!"
Your hearing was minimal but you understood what he said.Your head instinctively nodded as you knew you had no other choice. Fingers flying all over the keyboard, you reversed all procedural commands you had installed onto the building once the shooting started.
In a flash, you could audibly hear the lockdown being lifted and the doors opening around the warehouse. "Thank you, sweetheart." The voice grimaced. He retracted his gun from your head. You sighed in relief before feeling a harsh blow to the side of your head.

The man forcefully bashed the butt of his gun to your skull. You groaned in pain before falling to the floor unconscious. "I think we'll be seeing each other real soon." The man cackled under his mask, standing over your figure.
Another man ran into the room, with the same black attire and mask that scrambled his voice to make it sound robotic. "You secured our exit? Good job."
"We should leave. She contacted Bangtan, they'll be here soon." The first man alerted his superior.
"Damn." Was all he could say as he had to change the game plan. "Alright, tell the men to take whatever they want and torch the place. I want to be out of here in 5 minutes."

Jimin ran out of the security room and had thought you would be safe. He ran down the hall and into the corridor to the main entrance. There were about 20 men already starting to shoot about at Bangtan's men and grab anything they could from their storage.
Jimin ran to the first enemy in his sights. Uppercutting him immediately and bashing his head onto the ground, successfully knocking him out.
Dodging the next man with a gun, he ducked for cover behind some of the boxes.Reaching for his own gun, Jimin started to shoot. With rapid fire, he incapacitated 5 attackers until he was out of bullets.
The playing field was still uneven, with 4 Bangtan members alive including Jimin, and 9 attackers left. Bodies still scattered about and blood started to pool around the floor.
Jumping out from his cover point, Jimin was met with a large and burly man, probably the size of a sumo wrestler. He gulped harshly at his opponent and instantly threw one of the hardest punches he had ever thrown in his entire life.
The impact to the man's stomach only hurt Jimin instead of the other man. "Ah, shibal." Jimin cursed at how strong and big this man was.
The sumo wrestler picked Jimin up like a child and threw him across the room. Jimin hit the wall with his back and fell roughly on the concrete floor, groaning. He forced his arms to push himself up, but with shaky movements, he lacked any more strength. His body failed him as his chest collapsed onto the floor once again and he succumbed to the cold floor.

The other 3 men of Bangtan also weren't holding up well. The situation was dire, especially when the sumo wrestler stomped over to Jimin, ready to finish him with a final blow.
Standing over the helpless Jimin, the man was ready to kill him then and there.

Jungkook was finishing the last screws of the outside of the building. As a perfectionist, he wanted to make sure the angles were perfect so there wouldn't be any blind spots.
Satisfied with his work, he started to climb down from the ladder when he cringed at the sudden 'pop"-ing sound of familiar gunfire. He jumped from the rings of the ladder to the floor, immediately scanning the area.
He ran to the side of the building where he saw 3 truckloads of men and empty space waiting to rob the warehouse. However, he noticed that the large metal door they had just installed was already locked shut. It seemed as if a lockdown was already in place as the remaining men outside tried to shoot at the door.
He knew it was bulletproof and that they had no chance of getting in without your permission. Since he was by himself in the outskirts of the building, the enemy hadn't seen him.
Reaching for his gun, he counted his bullets. 4 bullets. Jungkook cursed himself for not getting another load of ammunition or at least taking a full cartridge. With 4 bullets, he had to take care of the 9 men outside.
~~~
Sweat dropped from Jungkook's neck and forehead as he finished off the remaining men outside. With his raw strength and 4 bullets, he was able to silently take them out, without noticing —a strategy when outnumbered.
During his last few kills, the lockdown had lifted, opening the large metal doors to the warehouse. About to run into the building, he had stopped himself as he watched a small group of the enemy stride back outside.
Jungkook hid himself well when he saw their figures. "What the hell happened here?" An automated voice coming from the center of the enemy group yelled.
No one in particular was asked and no one in particular answered. He groaned and took his seat in the van. "Just hurry up and gas the place so we can leave. Bangtan will be here soon."
His men frantically ran about and Jungkook watched in horror as they finished pouring gasoline throughout the building. He could do nothing without being noticed and it would be futile for him to do anything.
The men ran back outside which indicated they were done. "Good, let's move." The engines of the car started and the other man with a robotic voice lit a match from his pocket. Laughing maniacally, he threw the match into the building, watching it instantly set ablaze.
~~~
"You idiots!" The masked man with the robotic voice was slammed into the wall by the familiar ahjussi.
"Hey! Don't treat my-" The other masked man started to shout but was greeted with a gunshot wound to the leg.
"Hyung!" The first one was able to get out of the ahjussi's grasp and run to his cousin. "Jongsuk hyung?!" Hanbin applies pressure to the wound.
Jongsuk grunted in pain and the ahjussi bent down to inspect the wound. "He's fine. It's a clean shot." He said and proceeded to rip the mask off of both of their faces. "And take off the goddamn masks. They're ridiculous."
"You're the one that hired us and told us to wear it." Hanbin scoffed.
"Well I didn't fucking hire you to burn their warehouse to the ground with them still in it. I need them alive goddamn it!" The ahjussi yelled and punched Hanbin square in the nose. "You better fucking hope that girl and those stupid Bangtan Boys made it out of there alive. Or else it's your head I'm coming for next." The ahjussi spits in Hanbin's face.
"You guys hired us to rob them! The first time we shot at them with live bullets yet you don't want us to kill them now." Hanbin wipes the grotesque saliva off of his eye.
"Orders from above. You know how they are. Or more specifically, you know how she is. She has a plan and she needs them all fucking alive you pathetic idiots!" The man found himself to be riled up once again.
Hanbin sighed, helping his hyung up. "This is bullshit. You guys better not break your promise."
"For your sakes, you guys better have not killed my niece." The ahjussi retorts before striding off into the shadows of the building.

Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.
