The private jet soared through the Vietnamese sky, the group within strategizing their next move. Bangpink, the twins Yeon and Seol, Ombre, Claude, Enzo, and Lorenze were a formidable force, their determination etched on their faces.

"Demon and Suga are searching for Amelia's whereabouts," Ombre announced, the air hostess's voice echoing through the cabin as they prepared for landing.

Upon arrival, they headed straight for one of Amelia and Aria's (Seol's) mansions. Two days of relentless searching yielded little, frustration mounting with each passing hour.

"Bring them here now!" Silent Killer, Jennie, barked into her phone, two guards ushering in a trembling man.

"We were ordered to kidnap a girl," the man stammered, his voice laced with fear. "We dropped her outside the forest."

Jungkook, his eyes cold and unforgiving, shoved a loaded gun into the man's mouth. "Speak clearly. If you don't, we'll kill you without mercy. You know how the Kings and Queens handle their business."

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" the man sputtered. "Our boss instructed us to kidnap a girl. We left her outside the forest."

"Anything else?" V pressed, the tension palpable.

"Nothing more, sir," the man whimpered, both captives begging for their lives before Namjoon silenced them with a gunshot to the head.

"Suga, Demon," Namjoon barked orders. "Find any mafia bases near the forest. That's likely where they're holding her."

"Got it," Rose confirmed, the team immediately diving into their search.

"Found it!" Suga exclaimed.

"Any information?" Enzo questioned.

"It belonged to a Vietnamese mafia boss who died three years ago," Rose revealed. "It's been empty since."

"The perfect place to hold someone captive," Jisoo remarked.

"We'll attack tonight," Lorenze declared.

The twins, Yeon and Seol, finally spoke after a long silence. "She must have tried to escape," Yeon reasoned. "She'll be wounded. We need medical aid alongside weapons."

"And plenty of guards," Seol added. "We need to be prepared."

Enzo took charge of the logistics.

Nightfall painted the sky, and Namjoon issued the command, "Claude, you're in position."

Their earpieces crackled with communication, a silent network ensuring everyone was connected.

"Ready! Attack!" Jisoo roared, the team storming the abandoned building. The guards fought back, but the attackers were relentless. Inside, the damp air clung to them, their flashlights illuminating the desolate space.

"Team A, search the first floor. Team B, second floor. Team C, ground floor. Team D, basement. I'll search around here," Ombre directed, venturing off on her own.

The search continued, the basement their final stop. Seol's earpiece disconnected, sending a wave of panic through the group.

"Seol! Where are you?" Yeon's voice echoed through the earpiece.

The others joined the search, their worry intensifying. Finally, Seol's voice crackled back to life.

"There's a hidden door in the basement. It leads somewhere deep," she reported.

Ombre led the way, the others cautiously following. A hidden door was revealed, and they ventured into the darkness, the silence broken only by their footsteps.
