The Bodyguard (A Monsta X Fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty Five: Unknown Caller

"Emergency?" Shownu asked, brow raised.

I nodded, avoiding eye contact.

"Yeah, there's a family emergency. My mom's in the hospital right now. I need to go see her." I said.

Lying about my mom's health was low, but I needed to come up with something okso I could meet the mob boss's goon(s).

"Okay, I'll tell the manager." Shownu said, waving me away. "Go see your mom, okay?"

I nodded, hurrying off.

I walked out of the building, my heart racing. I wasn't exactly equipped for a fight. These people I was meeting with could have guns. I didn't have any. I guess I would just have to rely on my fists and sheer luck.

I hailed a taxi and was on my way to a fated confrontation.

The taxi dropped me off in front of a large warehouse. I stared up at it, taking a deep breath. There was no telling who was waiting for me in there. Or what.

'You can do this.'

I stepped a shaky foot forward, coming to the large door at the entrance. Using my strength, I pushed it open, revealing a dark and empty warehouse.

'Great. Just great.'

Not only was I walking into my own murder, probably, but it was in a dark and creepy place too? Just my luck.

"You can do this." I told myself again.

Tentatively, I walked through the shadowy warehouse. I looked around feverishly, waiting for someone or something to come out.

"Hello?" I called through the darkness, my voice echoing off of the empty walls. I walked between racks and tall, empty shelves.

"Hello." I froze when I heard the response. It was the same voice on the phone, camouflaged with a device.

I stayed on edge, walking farther into the warehouse, looking for the source of the voice. I was ready to fight at the drop of a hat.

"Show yourself!" I yelled into the warehouse, my loud voice bouncing back to me once again.

I could hear laughter as the person came closer, their voice becoming louder in the dark. "What? Sacred of the dark?" The high pitched voice asked me.

I could hear footsteps coming straight towards me, I peered into the dark, waiting for the mobster to show their face.

But...

"You!" I yelled, pointing in shock at the group that stepped forward.

It was Bulldok, their leader speaking into a voice-changing device, "Happy to see us?" They all smirked at me, probably proud to have tricked me.

'At least it's not the FBI.' I sighed, my shoulders relaxing a bit.

"What do you want?" I rolled my eyes.

"You already know that." I researched them after being harassed the first time and learned that this one was named Kimi. "Quit your job."

I scoffed, "In your dreams. Why don't you guys mind your own business? What do you think you'll accomplish by luring me all the way out here, anyway?"
