Maximizing Home Security with Smoke Detector Hidden Cameras and Other Surveillance Technology

Home security is a top priority for many homeowners. One way to ensure that your home is secure is by installing smoke detector hidden cameras and other surveillance technology. With the rise of smart homes, the integration of security systems has become easier and more convenient. In this article, we will discuss how smoke detector hidden cameras and other surveillance technology can maximize home security.

Smoke detector hidden cameras are a discreet and effective way to keep an eye on your home. These devices look and function like regular smoke detectors, but also have a built-in camera that can capture video footage of your home. They are typically wireless and can be connected to your home Wi-Fi network, allowing you to view the footage from anywhere using a smartphone app.

One of the benefits of smoke detector hidden cameras is that they are difficult to detect. Burglars often look for visible security cameras and may try to disable them or avoid areas where they are present. However, with smoke detector hidden cameras, they will not know that they are being recorded. This can provide an added layer of security and give you peace of mind when you are away from home.

In addition to smoke detector hidden cameras, there are several other surveillance technologies that can be used to maximize home security. These include motion sensors, door and window sensors, and smart locks. Motion sensors can detect movement in a room and trigger an alarm or send an alert to your smartphone. Door and window sensors can detect when a door or window is opened and send an alert to your phone. Smart locks can be locked and unlocked remotely using a smartphone app, allowing you to control who has access to your home.

One of the biggest benefits of these technologies is their ability to integrate with each other. For example, if your motion sensor detects movement in your living room, it can trigger your smoke detector hidden camera to start recording. This can help provide more detailed footage of any potential intruders. Similarly, if your door sensor detects that someone has entered your home, it can trigger your smart lock to lock the door automatically, preventing unauthorized access.

It’s also important to note that these technologies are not just for security purposes. They can also be used to monitor your home for environmental factors such as carbon monoxide or fire. Smart smoke detectors can alert you if there is a fire or carbon monoxide leak, while smart thermostats can monitor and adjust the temperature in your home to save energy and prevent damage from frozen pipes.

When it comes to maximizing home security with smoke detector hidden cameras and other surveillance technology, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it’s important to choose high-quality devices that are reliable and easy to use. Look for products that have positive reviews and are recommended by trusted sources.

Second, consider the layout of your home and where you want to install your devices. For example, if you have a large living room with multiple entry points, you may want to install multiple motion sensors and smoke detector hidden cameras to cover all angles.

Finally, make sure to take advantage of the technology’s features and integrate them with each other. By combining the power of smoke detector hidden cameras, motion sensors, door and window sensors, and smart locks, you can create a comprehensive home security system that provides peace of mind and keeps your home safe.

In conclusion, smoke detector hidden cameras and other surveillance technologies are a smart choice for homeowners looking to maximize their home security. These devices are discreet, effective, and easy to use, and can be integrated with each other to create a comprehensive security system. When choosing your devices, make sure to choose high-quality products that are reliable and recommended by trusted sources. With the right setup, you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is secure and protected.

Vicarious (Homelander x Female!Reader) pt.2

a/n: at my young, spry age, writing a twitter thread felt like "how do you do fellow kids", y'all better appreciate the sacrifice, Cross-Posted on AO3

Warnings: General Creepy Behavior, Plus Sized Reader, my inability to write a press conference yeehaw

Summary: First time in front of the cameras, you try to embrace your new persona... For better or worse

Pt.1 Pt.3 Pt. 4 Pt. 5

This isn't you. You're not here.

The face staring back at you from the mirror might have some resemblance, but the heavy, over the top makeup distorts your features in a way, that makes you almost unrecognizable. The moment you've signed that contract, someone took your soul straight out of your body, containing it in a box, far from your reach. Sometimes you can almost feel it, the real you, like a ghost passing through a room. The Smirnoff you've carefully crafted over the years. She's in the way you walk, shoulders hunched, like you're carrying the weight of the world on them. In the heavy feeling of cigarette smoke, settling into your lungs after a rough day.

In the shower, you can almost hear her as well. Your voice is off-key, low, and doesn't seem to remember half the words, but it's much more genuine than the chirpy, lobotomized tone they commanded you to talk in. Media training was pure hell. It only lasted an hour, as your schedule appeared to be pretty tight, but the way Ashley spoke to you, with an air of patronizing authority, made you grit your teeth at the mere memory.

This body, soft and pliable, stuffed crudely into a corset that dug itself into your skin, like it was trying to force you to fit a mold. Those exposed, fishnet clad legs, were not yours as well. They were surely someone else's. Yours were hidden under all those flowery long skirts you've gathered over the years, so proud of your thrifted collection, which is now gathering dust back home. That's where you left the box with your soul, stacked it away under flowy linens and music sheets from your lessons. 

You ponder over this feeling. This complete separation from your body. Perhaps this was your true superpower. And then your phone alarm goes off, and everything is shoved down, as your platform boots... No... Fireball's platform boots, carry you out of your room and down the corridor. 

Homelander is already waiting for you, his stature imposing, looming  over a crowd of backstage workers, as they clean off any imperfections before the press conference. His eyes snap towards you, the moment you step into the room, and you swallow thickly, remembering your last, admittedly, very fucking weird interaction. Ashley flashes past you, giving you a quick once over, seemingly satisfied with your look. It's hard to tell really, she always seems to find some flaw that needs to be corrected.

- Did you read the talking points? - she asks, her eyes flickering between you, and her tablet.

- Mhm... - too low, you think, adjusting the tone of your voice slightly.

There's a lot of people, more than what you're used to. Moving past the red-head, you sneak a peak behind the heavy curtain, separating you from the reporters chattering outside. What you see, does nothing to calm your nerves, as your eyes scan over a crowd of smart dressed people, the microphones, the cameras. 

Perhaps, just perhaps, you've bitten off more than you can chew. 

- Nervous? - a familiar voice says to your side, and you pull back, like you've been caught with your hand in the cookie jar.

Homelander looks almost exactly how you remember, when you saw him the first time. When he tried to convince you, he's every bit the perfect person from his movies. There's a charming smile plastered on his face, and he holds himself with an air of heroic otherworldliness, not a trace of the creepy, leering supe you've come to know. Your eyebrows furrow, but you decide to play along. You're not alone here, there's constant buzzing of surveilence around you, after all.

- Very much, yeah - you admit, sincerely, throwing a cautious look towards the podium.

He laughs in a weirdly boyish manner. You imagine, this is how a Ken doll would laugh, if it was alive. His hand reaches up, grabbing your shoulder and giving it a reassuring squeeze. His touch feels like needles on your skin, but you smile nonetheless. Cameras, remember the cameras. There are people all around you, and as such, someone is surely watching.

- Don't worry, you'll do great - he announces, then leans forward, until his face stops mere inches from your ear, making your body freeze up at the proximity - Don't even think about embarrassing me out there. No outbursts, no remarks, just keep on smiling and be the fucking mascot they hired you to be.

Okay, ouch. He leans back, his expression never changing from that same, bright smile. You blink up at him a couple of times. It's honestly impressing, how he keeps up the appearance of a perfect, selfless hero. 

- Fucking hell, okay...

This time, the squeeze is anything but comforting, and you can feel all of his fingers dig into the meat of your shoulder. 

- Language - he scolds you with a pointed finger, and to anyone standing on the outside, the gesture might seem endearing.

You know the truth however, and it takes a lot of strength out of you, not to flip him off. It seems he's taking the role of a mentor a bit too seriously. Or perhaps, he's just a patronizing asshole. As you watch his plastic smile, you're more and more inclined to believe the second option.

Still, there is something grounding in the way he holds you close, his hand steering you towards the curtain, and as it leaves your shoulder, you find yourself feeling conflicted. Especially now, since the announcer is saying your name to the sound of moderate applause, which intensifies as soon as the curtain moves to the side, exposing you, and Homelander to the hungry eyes of the reporters. 

You knees start to wobble, as you're suddenly confronted with the reality of the flashing cameras, the lights, the voices. Your heart beats out of your chest, anxiety slowly but surely overtaking your body, and not knowing any other alternative, your hand reaches out in a gesture bordering on desperation.

Homelander flinches, when your fingers grab onto the material of his glove. His eyes flicker towards you for just a moment, taking in the rapidity of your pulse, thrumming through your veins. The shortness of breath, as your nails bite into the custom made leather. Your eyes are locked onto the reporters, and your body seems to be stuck in an awkward pose, in-between steps. Out of all the things, that could frighten you in your, frankly, hopeless situation, crowds were an unexpected turn of events. 

So much for the strong, independent whatever. Homelander lets your hand linger for just a moment, if only to amuse himself further, before he steps forward to the podium, adjusting the microphone to his height. Your fingers curl around air, and you force your back to straighten. 

- Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you all for coming - his voice booms through the conference room, and he takes a small pause, letting the applause subside - As you've probably been informed, I'm here to announce a very special, new member of The Seven. She'll be joining the team on a temporary basis, as a replacement for Lamplighter.

Shit. You swallow thickly, and Homelander's smirk grows into something sharper at the sound, hidden from everyone else but himself. 

- I give you, Fireball!

He turns to you with a flourish, inviting you to step towards the podium. Your eyes flicker towards his, and he gives you a pointed look, that makes your heart sink to the floor. Here you are, presented to the wolves by a much worse monster. Deep breaths, remember that fated hour of media training. There's a role to play, after all.

This isn't you. You're not here. 

A bright, practiced smile floats onto your features, and finally you take a step forward, your hands curling into tight fists at your sides. You can feel the texture of your matte lipstic pull at your lips, the high-end eyeliner sticking the corners of your eyes together. The reporters clap politely, and you try to focus on a point above their heads, like they taught you in high school. The last time you've been in front of such a crowd, was when your friend roped you into taking part in a student reedition of Heathers. A fucking miserable affair.

 You're a little bit too quiet, for a little bit too long, and Homelander bristles out of the corner of your eye. You can see his chest expand, as he inhales deeply. Then, he moves in front of you, standing closer to the microphone, and intentionally or not, saving you from all the curious looks. You take a moment to gather your bearings, closing your eyes for just a second.

- Now, we have limited time for questions, so let's keep it simple - he announces, scanning the crowd of raised hands. - Gentleman in the back?

- Hi, John Douglas VNN. A question for Fireball?

Homelander turns to you with that same, plastic smile, and you nod, trying to convince yourself, more than him, that you're ready to speak. He moves aside, just enough to make a sliver of space for you in front of the microphone, and you step up with a sigh. 

- Hey, what's up? - there's a tremble to your voice, which you try to swallow down. 

- I think we're all surprised by you joining The Seven - the man comments with a smirk - Can you tell us some more about the recruitment process?

You take a deep breath, imagine your friend in front of you, and lean against the podium with a lazy smile. You're not here, after all. This isn't you.

- Well, a video of me, helping out during a house fire went viral, and soon enough Vaught has offered me a temporary partnership. - there's a playful tilt to your words, and you can already see all the comments pouring in - Besides, y'all have seen the contract.

There's a murmur of sheepish laughter rolling over the conference room, and you swallow thickly, trying to fight off the dryness in your throat.

- Here, at the front? - Homelander cuts in, leaning closer as he speaks to the microphone. 

Absent-mindedly, you note he smells very, almost obscenely expensive, and your nose crinkles slightly as you take a breath. 

- Mileena Johnson, News Nation - a woman in a tasteful costume stands up - Given this sudden interest from Vaught, is it safe to assume you're not used to all this?

She looks around the room, then back to you and mirrors your smile, flashing her perfectly white teeth. With a sardonic expression, you lean towards the microphone again, some unknown, mischievous note entering your voice.

- Oh, yeah! - you confirm - I'm a media virgin, through and through.

There's a strangled sound of multiple people laughing, some reporters clearly thrilled by the joke, others shaking their head disapprovingly. There's a large portion just staring at you, and you fight off the urge to cringe at your own words. Then, there's a small noise, somewhere next to you, and pushed by curiosity, you look over at Homelander. He looks conflicted between keeping up the smile, and stepping in, eventually opting to lean back, his eyes shifting between you and the reporters with a hint of curiosity hidden behind them. 

And then he moves, shifting ever so slightly behind you, his hand finding purchase on the lower part of your back, his fingertips drumming lightly against the zipper. Your back straightens like a guitar string, a shiver of something running up your spine. With his free hand, he points towards another reporter, who stands up and introduces himself politely. 

It's hard for you to focus.

- How, in your opinion, an addition of such a young Hero will affect the team?

Homelander's hand climbs higher, towards the edge of your corset. You can feel his gloved fingertips dance across the stitching. 

- I'll do everything in my power to help the Seven fight for peace - you answer, voice slightly choked up, but your expression remains impassive.

- That's right! - Homelander chimes in, suddenly much more animated - Such a young, fresh, addition will surely motivate us to push ourselves even harder.

Another reporter raises her hand, and you're starting to scream internally, as Homelander's gloved hand abandons your corset in favor of running up your bare skin. Your smile falters for just a second, as he grabs onto the back of your neck, squeezing a few times, before letting his hand rest under your hair. 

- Something for the tabloids? - the reporter announces - I have to say, the both of you look great together, and since Homelander's recent breakup with Queen Meave, we're wondering, what exactly is the relationship between the two of you?

Fuck, fuckitty fuck fuck fuck, your brain scrambles for a proper response. That was not included in the talking points. Although eventual shipping was expected, you were aware of the culture, you though it would take some time for the thing to sail away. Unfortunately, the reporter blinks expectantly, and the longer you stay silent, the worse the rumors will undoubtedly get. Out of the corner of your eye, you can already see Homelander lean towards the mic, and knowing deep in your bones, that whatever he says, will be humiliating, you lurch forwards. 

- We're coworkers. He's my mentor, I'm his student. Do with that, what y'all want.

- Right, is there a chance that a romance may bloom? - the reporter pushes further, adjusting her glasses on her nose.

- I met him yesterday, y'all - you comment with an exasperated sigh, and force yourself to ignore the way Homelander's finger tangles itself into the hair growing at the base of your skull.

The reporter laughs and sits down, and this time you can't stop the sigh of relief from escaping your lips. Another hand shoots up in the back of the room, and Homelander points to it over your shoulder. A man in his thirties stands up, and even blinded by the reflectors, you can see the cocky smirk on his face. 

- I've seen the video - he starts, a flippant tone entering his voice - And I couldn't help but wonder, how did Vaught even let someone so inexperienced into the Tower?

It's quiet, dozens of eyes flicker nervously between you and Homelander, and his hand stills at your back. You're not here. This isn't you. And so, lips pulled back into a mean bastardization of a bright smile, you lean heavily on the podium, letting it all, proverbially, hang out.

- I flashed the doorman.

You don't have to have a degree in media analysis to notice the sudden uptake in flashing lights. Homelander's hand falls from your back in a languid motion, the leather of his glove dragging itself down your spine, before he moves, and takes up the entirety of space in front of the podium.

- And on that - he pauses, and pretends to look back at you, too lazy to actually commit to the bit - thrilling note, I'm afraid that's all the time we have for today. Thank you all for coming. God bless you all!

You wave a half assed goodbye to all the gathered people, and before anyone can say anything else, you turn on your heel and walk back towards a very pissed-off-looking Ashley. The white light of her tablet is illuminating her scowl, and involuntarily, you groan. 

- What the fuck was that? - she asks, before you get one word out - Freezing up like an idiot? Making stupid fucking jokes? 

Homelander enters soon after you, his expression unreadable. He stands in the back, arms crossed in front of his chest, observing your interaction with Ashley. Seemingly pondering over something. His inaction, somehow, makes flames of irritation rise inside your gut, and you direct your anger towards the red-headed woman.

- Stillwell is going to have my fucking head - Ashley lamments, eyes locked onto her tablet - This will be horrible for your ratings, not to mention Homelander's.

With a roll of your eyes, you step closer, grabbing the hardware and consequently, forcing her to look up at you.

- Oh yeah? - there's a note of bravery entering your voice, and Homelander's eyebrow shoots upwards - Check fucking Twitter.

For just a second, Ashley hesitates, blinking at you owlishly. Then, she taps away at the tablet, her features illuminated with blue. Homelander's hashtag is trending, as expected, but you can see your given Hero name right under it. The third hashtag makes you smirk. Ashley starts reading out loud.

"Have y'all seen that interaction between #Homelander and #Fireball?" 

There's a video, couple seconds long, where you can see yourself, frozen with nerves backstage, Homelander leaning over your form. From afar, it looks comforting, cute even. You smirk. It cuts to the moment his hand sneaked up your back. Even to you, the gesture looks like a show of support, although you're sure some groups of people will run with the romance storyline.

"I have an anxiety disorder, and #Fireball is showing clear signs of an anxiety attack"

"No media training seen in the room #iconic"

"Aww, look at #Homelander comforting her, they're so cute together"

"Did we collectively forget what he said during that graduation speech?"

"Let's normalize people learning and growing"

"It's honestly heartwarming, seeing someone with mental health problems in The Seven, I finally feel represented"

"And can we talk about how #Homelander handled the situation? Truly, #AmericasGreatestHero"

"#MentalHealthKing"

It's quiet on set for a long moment, as both Ashley and Homelander seem to take in this one Twitter thread, among many similar ones. You, holding in laughter to the best of your abilities, wait patiently, until Ashley finally looks up at you.

- I know, why I'm here - you tell her, and something passes across her features.

She clears her throat, swiping on her tablet.

- You have training with Black Noir in an hour - she informs you, her voice back to that professional, emotionless tone - We'll get some footage of it out to the public, so try to behave. 

- Yes Ma'am - you smile, and once again, she gives you a strange look, before turning on her heels, and walking away, a satisfied lightness to her steps.

It's only you and Homelander left backstage, and as you turn to face him, he's already looking at you with an appraising gaze. Despite yourself, despite his borderline creepy behavior, and the threats, and the touches, you can't help, but smile. It starts off slow, a small smirk pulling at the corners of your mouth, but soon after that, all your teeth are on display. Because fuck it, you're proud of yourself, and for the first time since you've met him, Homelander doesn't look at you like you're a cut of meat on a bucther's rack. 

- That went so much better, than I expected - you breathe out, and he nods. 

- It sure was something - he says, leaning on a nearby pillar.

You bark a short laugh at his admission, the adrenaline from your first real encounter with the press, keeping you on a high you were not expecting. There's buzzing at the end of your fingertips, and you shake your hands, trying to dispell some of the energy. 

- Oh, I was ready to shit myself - you huff, shaking your head.

Homelander sucks on his teeth, his eyebrow shooting up.

- Language. - he reminds you, and you put up your hands in mock surrender.

It's easy, riding the wave of your newly found success. As such, you ignore the way his eyes glide all over your body, stopping rather obscenely at your chest. You pretend not to notice, the way his hands twitch at his sides, and you definitely don't see the tightness in his lower area. No, all of it doesn't matter, because you've proven your worth, not as much to Homelander, but to the company, and fuck, if it didn't feel good. 

Your enthusiasm turns to ashes in your mouth, as Homelander leans forward, invading your personal space like it wasn't yours to begin with. There's a glint of barely masked anger in his eyes, the blue of his irises getting swallowed by a dangerous, red sheen. Not enough to hurt anyone, but enough to let you know, you're on thin ice. Which confuses you beyond belief, because up until this point, you thought everything went peachy.

A gloved hand sneaks up, towards you chin, fingers digging into your flesh hard enough, you can imagine them chipping the bones underneath. 

- Next time - he seethes through gritted teeth - Keep your fucking mouth in check, or I'll find a better use for it.

Oh, that's new. Your soul leaves your body once again, the box locking it away with a click, that sounds like thunder in your ears. Homelander frowns, as if he can see the change happen right before his eyes. And perhaps, even through the fog of anger, he's perceptive enough. His posture falters slightly, as you take a step in his direction, or, more likely, Fireball does. 

- Why wait, I'm standing right here - the challenging note in your voice surprises both of you.

He blinks. You blink. And then, his face changes completely. The authoritarian expression of anger melts away into something you'd never expect. An almost childish sort of giddiness enters his eyes, and if you were yourself, not Fireball, you would've found the sparkling blue of his eyes enchanting. Terrifying, but impossible to look away. You should be thankful for this separation, it is surely saving your sanity. 

Before he can act out whatever his twisted, blonde mind conjured up, you slip past him like smoke out the window, your platform boots clicking against the floor. It doesn't matter, none of it matters. This isn't you after all. You're not here. 

It's long past her working hours, when Stillwelll finally has the time to sit down and unwind. Her phone screen reflects in the lenses of her reading glasses, a recognizable, Twitter-blue illuminating her features. Her eyes scan the site for a moment, and then, suddenly, her hand comes up to cover her mouth. 

There it is. A picture of her best project to date. You're standing awkwardly, shoulders tense, a sheen of sweat on your forehead mingling with a foundation, that's worth more than your entire wardrobe back home. Homelander's hand is holding you securely, fingers splayed at the skin of your back. And above the picture... "#MentalHealthKing" 

Stillwell laughs, quietly but sincerely. Who would've thought.

date: July 29, 2023

Exhaustion lingered in your body as you pulled into the parking lot of your job, choosing the darkest corner with the burnt-out lightbulb hidden just out of view of the camera. You checked your appearance one last time as headlights nearly blinded you from the entrance of the lot.

You were early; the reason pulling up next to you as they parked next to your car. You shut yours off, taking your phone that no longer buzzed incessantly like it had just an hour before.

“Hey,” you grumbled as you climbed into the passenger seat, shutting the door harder than necessary, ignoring the wince of your coworker and your new alarm clock, apparently. What a bastard! He knew you liked your pre-work nap, and yet he texted you over and over just to make sure you’d be coming tonight. As if you’d miss a night to make slamming tips with him at your side. Besides, your pre-work fuck was becoming a routine, a little energy boost to get you through the night when your Red Bull concoctions didn’t.

“That happy to see me, huh?” Jungkook grins anyway, used to your sour mood when he bombarded your phone with texts. Some border on sexual, some not.

[Kook from work] 

Hi 😚

Jungkook doesn’t wait for a response as you set your phone in one of the cup holders, accidentally hitting the button to light up your screen. Jungkook pouts when he sees his name hasn’t changed on your phone.

“Still just ‘Kook from work’?” 

“Yup,” you sneer.

“Not even a ‘Jungkook from work who blows my back out’ or anything?” He questions with a smirk when you roll your eyes and playfully shove him.

“You’re so annoying,” you huff, leaning back in the seat to stare upwards. Jungkook's soft laughter fills the tinted SUV for a moment.  

When you first started working at the nightclub, you were inexperienced and overeager. The tips were good and the clientele was mostly regulars who enjoyed not having to pay an entrance fee. Your boss, the owner, Min Yoongi, took shit from no one and took your side for every bad customer interaction. He was sweet, friendly, and loved his whiskey neat. 

You got along well with the bouncers, Namjoon, Seokjin, and Jimin, who took no shit from anybody and of course one of your closest friends, Hoseok, worked most nights at your side, either behind the bar or training the new barback, Taehyung. Jungkook had joined the team a few months ago, another friend of Hoseok and Yoongi’s. He was outgoing, overeager, and learned his shit pretty quickly. You requested being put on his shifts, his nights drawing large crowds and tips your way. Hoseok drew in huge crowds as well, until the clientele realized flirting with Yoongi’s husband was a bad idea. Yoongi would raise a brow, and the customers would falter, order an extra shot to down to get over the shock of his stare, and go on their way.

Hoseok both loved and hated it. Now, he works whenever he feels like it, along with a few other bartenders that were hired part-time to fill the gaps. 

“I think ‘Jungkook with the huge cock’ would also work wonders for my self-esteem,” Jungkook jokes, cackling when you reach out to shove his shoulder. After making contact, he laces his fingers with yours, pulling you closer to him. 

Thoughts whirl around in your head, most of them being ‘just friends’, but you both know at this point that’s another bullshit lie. You spent so much time ignoring your feelings for him but for now, hooking up before work seems to work for the two of you. Despite all your coworkers/friends insinuating otherwise. You thought you were being secretive hiding out in the darkest spot on the lot each night before your shift, but Yoongi was well aware of what went on in the shadows.

Unfortunately for him, he’d shown up to work early one day, needing a smoke before Hoseok turned up and scolded him. He’d been trying to quit again but working long nights during Spring Break was getting to him. He’d regretted the moment he spotted Jungkook’s SUV rocking beside your car. 

“You’re insufferable,” you groan when you slide closer to him. Jungkook lets his seat slide back, allowing you more room but you know you’ll end up lying on the folded back seats with the array of fluffy, fuzzy blankets and pillows set up for the occasion.

“You adore me,” he whispers in response, his hand gently caressing your cheek. Your eyes meet his, your body thrumming with excitement.

Jungkook doesn’t hesitate in kissing you, his lips soft against yours until you’re resting your hands on his shoulder. Slowly, you climb into his lap, moaning his name in between kisses as his hands grip your hips. His large hands slide under your skirt, feeling the softness of your skin. He squeezes your ass firmly, groaning when you grind down against him. He’s got on a pair of sweatpants and a loose tee, waiting to turn into a demon once he hits the locker room on the upstairs floor, restricted to patrons but available for staff to shower and change after a shift.

Normally, you’d do the same but you needed to give Jungkook easy access, forgoing your undergarments and slipping on a shirt and skirt. You’d probably share a shower, and get ready while the club opened and Jungkook entertained whilst you did your hair and makeup. 

“I fucking love your ass, baby,” Jungkook groans as he squeezes once again. You giggle, kissing your way down his jaw to his neck. You're mindful of leaving marks on his beautiful skin, knowing they’d stop the tips, and that’s the last thing you want on a Sunday night. The crowd will be reduced exponentially, but his regulars always like to stop by, anyway

Your hands run over his chest, tugging his shirt from under you and slipping it over his head to discard on the passenger seat.

Jungkook's body always amazes you. You wonder if he’d let you oil him up someday and just feel every little bit of it. 

“Baby?” Jungkook whines when you stop kissing him, your fingertips brushing over his pebbled brown nipples. 

“Got distracted,” you answer honestly.

Jungkook chuckles, pecking you on the lips. 

“Don’t you always when my shirt comes off?” He giggles and you shush him, kissing him again as your hips roll against his. You know you have very little time. The start of your shift lingers over both your heads and your alarm is set for fifteen minutes before the start of your shift to give Jungkook time to get ready before you and have someone behind the bar to keep Yoongi’s wrath at bay.

Besides, you’d been waiting for this all day; already wet and ready whenever he was. 

Jungkook must note the change of urgency in your movements because his hands grip you harder, every touch is more intentional and each of your moans shoots straight to his cock. He was already at half-mast when he pulled into the parking lot and now, with your warm body on top of his, he didn’t need much to get him hard.

Your kisses were an aphrodisiac, your touch like fire. Jungkook’s head spins when you tongue the tattoo behind his ear, teeth gently nipping at his earlobe as his fingers tease between your thighs, drawn to the warmth in between.

“Please,” you beg, biting your lip as he teases you with his fingertips, cursing when he slips one finger inside you. 

“Jungkook,” you whine, head falling onto his shoulder. His breath flutters your hair as he chuckles, set on teasing you but another whine from you and a reminder of the time gets him going. He hopes tomorrow when you’re both off work, he can take his time with you but for now, he’ll settle for this.

With two fingers inside you and his thumb on your clit, he uses his free hand to tug at your shirt. Your nipples poke against the fabric and his mouth waters at the sight. He aches to wrap his lips around them and make you melt for him before he fucks you silly. Perhaps he should go easy on you, but you’re gripping his hair tightly, nearly riding his fingers and making a mess of his sweatpants. 

Jungkook resists the urge to just rip your shirt down the middle. The fabric would tear so easily from a few tugs, but your wrath after would be more than he could handle. Besides, you look really cute in your shirt.

With his inaction, you take charge and remove your shirt, tossing it to join his shirt in the empty seat.

Jungkook lifts your skirt to bunch at your hips as you greedily palm at his hard cock, throbbing in his gray sweatpants.

“Give it to me,” you groan when his lips kiss down your neck, his teeth sinking into the skin to get you to curse and moan his name. You’re lost in your lust, grinding against him and tugging at his pants until his cock slaps against his abs. He smirks at your eagerness, stroking himself as you beg him to fuck you. He listens to your whines and begs, knowing you’ll take action into your own hands and just sink yourself on him.

Just as expected, you take his cock in your hands, wishing you could suck him off, but time is ticking and you’re sure Yoongi had pulled in while you were taking your top off. It was only a matter of time before he came over to interrupt or your alarm went off. Either way, you had to get going.

“I hate rushing,” Jungkook huffs as you line his cock against your entrance, teasing him by rubbing the head against your wet cunt. Jungkook's head falls back into the seat, body nearly arching off completely when you do it again and again until you’re cursing and biting your lip as his dick slides inside you.

“Fuck!” You exclaim, pressing your lips to his to silence yourself as you take all of him. The stretch is delicious but still gives you pause. “So big.”

Jungkook feels pride in his chest, hiding the blush on his cheeks by kissing your neck and shoulder. His hands cup your breasts, fingers rolling your nipples as you set a slow pace. He wishes he had taken your skirt off but it’s cramped enough in the front seat and you feel so fucking good wrapped around him to even think about repositioning you.

With the slow roll of your hips, Jungkook curses. He takes your tit in his mouth to hide his face and how much you're affecting him. He’s gentle when he circles his tongue around your nipple but quickly tugs on it with his teeth just to get your eyes to roll to the back of your head.

“Fuck, baby. You’re so fucking wet for me,” he growls as you slide easily on his cock, your moans filling the space between you as he touches every bit of you that he can. He curses when you tighten around him, his hand smacking your ass in response. You giggle, repeating your action to get another spank and a fiery kiss that curls your toes.

Soon, Jungkook grows tired of the slow pace. Mindful of your head, he lifts his hips to meet yours. You dig your nails into his skin as you hold on tight, screaming his name as the windows fog. Jungkooks pace rattles your bones, his moans mixed with yours in his eagerness to cum.

“Fuck, Kook. Babe, please,” you feel his thumb rub rigid circles on your clit as he slams into you, rocking the vehicle. He groans, kissing you as your fingers grip his hair as tight as possible. Pleasure courses through you, your orgasm building until you’re finally screaming his name into his sweaty chest, begging for more.

“Nothing but a cock hungry slut, huh? Need my cock so bad you’re willing to get fucked before work just to feel my cum sliding down your thighs all night. Hmm, perhaps you can actually keep it inside tonight like a good girl?” Jungkook spurs on.

You nod, head empty but needing to be filled and orgasm. Your body trembles, lips pressed to his own as his tongue slides past the seam of your lips, his two lip rings cold to the touch.

“Jungkook!”

“That’s it, baby. Take my cock just like that. Fuck!” Jungkook’s head lolls back, stomach clenching and you’re right behind him as your orgasm hits, thighs shaking on either side of his hips as he continues to thrust into you, cursing your name when he finally cums. 

Jungkook smiles, his hands stroking your back as you slump against his chest. 

“Ugh, my thighs are burning,” You complain on his chest. His chest rumbles as he laughs, his hands adjusting your skirt as he holds you. He kisses the top of your head, his breath ruffling your hair as he continues to laugh. 

“I told you to join me at the gym,” he reminds you and you lift your head just enough to stick your tongue out at him. 

“Fuck off,” you grumble as you cuddle him for a few more minutes before you’re peeling yourself off his sweaty chest and groaning as you try to climb back into your own seat without getting cum on the fabric. 

Jungkook reaches behind him, grabs his duffel bag, and opens the side pocket. He hands you a pair of clean panties and you roll your eyes. 

“Just because I left them at your place doesn’t mean you have to bring them with you,” you mutter. 

Jungkook’s grin is wide as you put your underwear on and then your shirt. 

“But you’re glad you’re not dripping everywhere, huh?” 

“Shut up,” you huff as you hand him his shirt and he tugs his sweatpants back into place. 

“Come on, we need a shower and there’s a Red Bull calling your name,” Jungkook groans as he pops his neck and grabs his duffel bag. He arranges his seat back into place and climbs out of the SUV.

You wait for him to open your door, your legs are still shaky as you go to your car to grab your belongings. 

Jungkook waits for you, taking your small bag over his shoulder to join his own. Normally, he’d wrap his arm around your shoulder, allowing you to lead him to the back door, where your key unlocks the entrance to let you both in. 

However, tonight he’s feeling a little bold, and he laces his fingers with yours, ignoring the heat of your stare on the side of his face. His hair is ruffled and falls over his eyes to curtain himself out of your direct sight. He’s grateful when you don’t say anything, just give his hand a squeeze in assurance. 

The obnoxious chirping of birds wakes you up the next morning. You groan, covering your head with a pillow and throwing the covers over you for good measure. 

However, your eyes pop open when the scent of a familiar cologne hits your nostrils. Flashes of last night slam you in the face and you groan again as you realize you’ll have to pick your car up from work later. 

“Good morning,” Jungkook’s sleep-addled voice greets you. You turn to face him and groan, reaching out to cover his mouth before he can speak again. You feel his lips turn upward in a grin and you curse before pulling the pillow and covers off your face. 

“What time is it?” You mumble as you palm at the nightstand to find your phone. 

“6:34,” he answers you as the light from your phone makes you wince. You’d gotten home and showered a little over three hours ago. You were planning on sleeping in and going grocery shopping and now you were waking up in Jungkook’s bed again.

“Why are you up so damn early?” You huff. 

“I needed a snack and heard you tossing and turning. Did you miss me?” He wiggles his eyebrows and makes you laugh. 

“Not even a little bit,” you lie, but Jungkook can see the way you’re holding back a smile, so he kisses your cheek instead. 

“Always so mean in the mornings,” he whispers as he wraps his arm around your waist. 

“And you’re still in my bed, so,” you shrug as best as possible as you turn to press your back to his chest. Jungkook cuddles you, his head resting on your chest. 

“Technically, you’re in my bed,” he grins. 

“Brat,” you scoff. 

“You love it,” he hums as he kisses your shoulder. You don’t say anything else as he continues to kiss his way up to your neck, resisting the urge to sink his teeth into you until you’re moaning his name.

The first moan that escapes you, has you spreading your legs. 

Jungkook smirks. His fingers dance down the curve of your body. He pauses at your nipples to tease them with his featherlight touch, watching your eyes flutter shut and another moan escape your lips. 

When he presses against you, he’s already hard. The only thing separating you is his boxers. You stole one of his shirts to sleep in when you got to his place, too tired to throw anything else on. 

The shirt bunches at your ribs before he’s slowly lifting you to help you out of it. He watches as you tease your nipples, his hand going to stroke his cock over the cotton fabric of his boxers, before he’s kicking them off to get lost in the covers. 

“Please, Kook. I want to feel you,” you whisper as he presses himself against you. He lifts your leg over his own, lining his cock up at your entrance, unsurprised to find you dripping wet already. He bites back a groan, sinking into you in one thrust. Your eyes shut and you curse, the stretch just as delicious as the night before.  

Jungkook’s thrusts are slow, your hips meeting his as he mouths at your skin. Your soft moans are muffled by the pillow under your head when you turn. Jungkook frowns, making you look at him from over your shoulder. 

His eyes are dark and filled with lust, the twinkle long gone and you curse when he fucks into you deeper. 

“Focus on me, baby,” he demands as he grinds against you, his thumb rubbing your clit as his lips take a nipple into his mouth. You melt beneath him, gasping when he tugs at your nipple with his teeth.

“Fuck, just like that, Kook.”

Jungkook hums happily, grinning as he continues and you turn into a puddle. You ignore the way your heart skips a beat, adoration for him invading your mind. 

You know this whole friends-with-benefits would backfire for you. You could never keep it casual and maybe you knew that when you agreed and maybe you were willing to put your heart on the line for him because a part of you hoped he wanted more. 

Jungkook kisses you. “Stop thinking so much and take my fat cock, baby.”

“Fuck, Jungkook,” you moan when a sharp thrust makes your tits bounce and your thoughts are forgotten. 

Jungkook chuckles, kissing your cheek as he fucks into you nice and slow. He laces your fingers together, moaning softly into your neck, and he can’t help but think how intimate it feels to take you like this. There’s nothing better than having you in his arms, moaning his name as he holds you tight, refusing to let you go for even a second. He knew the moment he met you, that you’d be everything to him, but somehow things got lost in translation. Jungkook doesn’t let his thoughts consume him another second, though, focusing on your pleasure and his instead.

Before long, you’re both spent. Panting, you turn on your back as he sits up to face you. He’s smiling, the corners of his eyes crinkling as he tongues his lip piercings. 

“Babe?” He asks with a shy smile. 

“What?” You ask as you sit up with the covers over your chest.

“Check your phone,” he says simply, nervously playing with his lip ring. 

You groan and reach for your phone, deleting the notifications from the hours you were asleep or otherwise occupied. 

Once all your notifications from your social media are gone, you spot Jungkook’s text. Only this time you’ve changed his name and the message has you pausing. 

[Kookie 💜] 6:31 am

Will you go on a date with me?

“Jungkook,” you say his name quietly and he ignores the way his heart seems to clench.

“I’d love to!” You throw your phone onto the bed, forgotten until later when you change the sheets and the thump startles you. 

Your arms drape wound his bare chest and relief washes over him. He kisses your cheek, then your forehead. 

“Come on,” he says, patting the bed. “Let’s get some sleep and then we can go on our date.”

“I have no clothes here,” you remind him and he shakes his head. 

“You have that pink sundress and sandals here from that one time you came over and stole my clothes,” he states with a playful roll of his eyes. 

“A sundress?” You raise a brow. He nods over eagerly and you can already tell he’s got plans for you. Perhaps he’ll hike the dress over your ass in need of a quickie before your date.

Regardless, you’re very much on board for later, but for now, sleep is calling your name and so is Jungkook as you stare at his broad chest. 

“My eyes are up here,” he teases, yelping when you pinch his nipple in retaliation. 

“Get some sleep,” you poke his cheek, settling into bed with his arms around you and your head on his chest. 

Jungkook can’t help but think, this is the best Monday I’ve ever had.

Keeping his collection of debt collectors and creditors was a delicate balance. Murdock paid off just enough for them to be satisfied, but never enough to have over a month of peace. With his wages from guarding Ace, he thought that over half would be enough. It never could be enough. Creditors started following him, watching as he entered the same building almost every day and left it at night. They noticed Ace, giggling and touching him when they were supposedly alone.

He never thought that they would go after the family. Not Ace, his Ace. They’d visited him, laughing and telling him the monthly fee had doubled. They’d warned him and his ‘little friend’. He was fucked. Murdock had sped towards the hospital, searching for their car in the parking lot. “Ace! Ace?”

@murdersinthemaking

Going after the Graves is something monumentally stupid, something only the dregs of society would even attempt. And fail, of course. Their precious jewel was more protected than anything else in the city, and far more valuable, so any attack on him would be swiftly dealt with.

They had been keeping an eye on Murdock's creditors for a while, especially since him and Ace had become... close. The other guards weren't stupid, and no member of the family was blind. But Ace was happy, and that important, of course.

Something like this was inexcusable, however.

Their most precious thing, threatened because Murdock owed money? No, no, no. This had to be dealt with.

The attackers were gone, of course, in pieces scattered throughout the riverbed, and the creditor that had sent them was already being hunted down by their forces. All over a couple grand. What a stupid way to kill oneself.

And now, to the deal with the other thorn in their side.

Asking for Ace at the desk gets Murdock taken to a room and gently ushered inside. Before anything else can be done, the door locks behind him. And he finds himself alone with Adrian in a dim room with no cameras and surprisingly good soundproofing.

"Father isn't particularly pleased with your performance, Murdock," Adrian drawls, looking up from his phone with shadowed eyes. "I'm sure you know why." He lights a cigarette and looks up at the deactivated smoke alarm. "What a disappointment you turned out to be."

Crossing the room in a few strides, Adrian stops when he's face to face with his employee, and looks him up and down. "Honestly, my little brother has the worst taste in men. Something like you?" He hums. "Though I do suppose I shoulder some of the blame. I should never have allowed you to leave that Halloween party alive."

Without warning, he cracks Murdock across the jaw, brass knuckles that had been hidden up until now making the blow far more powerful. "I guess the problem will solve itself when we bury you in the garden. I think you'll make wonderful fertilizer for his roses, don't you?"

[spaceytingz]

youre a femme fatal secret agent stealing the most prized gem in the world from its restong spot... set the scene and the soundtrack!

Elusive Finnish billionaire Eerik Holmen might be the most secretive person on the planet. Operating exclusively from a chain of remote islands, owned by shell companies, you'd need to call in thirty favors just to find someone who knows someone who knows rumors about the possible location of one of them. And don't even think about trying to get an invitation to his revered annual masquerade ball - an event with tighter security than a presidental inauguration. 

Good thing I don't need one.

Thirty favors are not an easy thing to accumulate so I'm careful. The guests are just beginning to arrive, so the security does not pay that much attention to the skies, and before anyone knows it, camouflage glider retracted into my catsuit, I'm making my way through halls of invisible lasers, conveniently glitching cameras and an actual pit trap. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Great cardio. And while you're at it, you'd be wise to install remotely activated bombs in the walls. It might help later.

One thing spy movies don't get right? You know that part where the protagonist lifts the diamond and quickly manages to put something of a similar weight in its place as to avoid activating the alarm? Yeah, that doesn't happen. The truth is, there's no way to avoid the alarm. You just gotta avoid the walls of the trap room it's inevitably placed in that shoot out to crush you in under 0.3 seconds. Good thing I don't go out without my trusty titanium grappling hook. And now, of course, the alarm is blaring and the whole shithole is going into lockdown. So, I run. I don't go far, there's armed security everywhere. Of course, the guns mean nothing if you get the jump on them. You don't need to deal with them all, obviously, but you do need to get to a safe room where you apply your cosmetic modifications, transform your catsuit into a short black dress, and slip inside the panicking crowd. These rich people value their lives a lot for some reason.

The diamond is not on my person, obviously. Hidden in plain sight, the many trackers on it can discern its general location but they have no clue on which floor it is and no one expects it to be in the majestic indoor fountain boasting a statue of Poseidon in the middle. My earring begins beeping, indicating my ride is here. Final part of the plan. Not even after three beeps, a series of explosions shakes up the building and smoke and ashes fill the room. Panic, screams, hell, even a gunshot rings out but that's of no importance. The fountain water has already disabled half of the trackers on the diamond but no signal can get to the contents of the handbag in my hand, lined on the inside with pure silver. The screams of the guests and the further explosions make it very easy for me to slip out of a newly made hole in the wall. Jungle ain't fun to run through but the second I'm in the ocean, I've made it. Now to find the camouflaged submarine that has been waiting here for four months.

The Escape

The group attempt to escape from the facility.

On The Run Masterlist

Alex’s heart raced as the explosion’s shockwave reverberated through the area. Smoke billowed around them, a thick curtain that obscured their vision. The blaring alarms and flashing lights made it almost impossible to hear anything clearly. The chaos was almost overwhelming, but Alex’s focus remained sharp.

“Get moving!” he heard Sam yell.

Alex quickly he sprinted away from the explosion’s epicenter firing some shots towards 74 and 78 to get their attention. He needed to keep them occupied for as long as possible, buying the others precious minutes to get away.

The pair followed with an alarming speed, their training evident in their precise, coordinated efforts. Alex knew he couldn’t outrun them forever; their training was identical - both 74 and 78 could run just as far as he could, likely further given that he was not at 100% health.

"Status report" Sams voice crackled over their encrypted communicator.

"Encountered some resistance, but making headway," Charlies voice sounded strained, "I lost sight of Ash."

Alex’s eyes darted around as he ducked behind a charred wall. The smoke was beginning to thin, and he knew the moment would come soon when 74 and 78 would have a clear line of sight. He needed to act fast. He glanced around, looking for any potential escape routes or hiding spots.

Suddenly, 74’s voice cut through the silence, a cold, mechanical tone that sent a shiver down Alex’s spine. “84, you can’t keep this up forever. Surrender now and you might still make it out alive.”

Alex’s grip tightened around his weapon as he pressed himself against the scorched wall, sweat mixing with the grime on his face. The smoke was starting to clear, revealing the devastation of the explosion and the relentless pursuit of 74 and 78.

78 was close, Alex could practically feel their presence.

The ground beneath him was littered with fragments of wreckage. Alex spotted a small, partially intact building a short distance away. It was a risk, but it could provide temporary cover and potentially slowdown 74 and 78.

He sprinted towards the building, ducking inside, and using the debris as cover. The interior was dark and filled with dust, the faint light from the explosion casting eerie shadows on the walls.

Alex adjusted his position, trying to catch his breath and reassess. The comms crackled once more, and Sam’s voice came through, “Alex, status?”

“Still holding off 74 and 78,” Alex said, glancing through a crack in the wall. The smoke was thinning, and he could see the silhouettes of the two pursuers moving cautiously. “We need to hurry. They’re getting closer, and I can’t keep this up forever.”

Charlie sprinted through the haze of smoke and chaos, her heart pounding in her chest. She had stayed close to the plan, moving with purpose and focus despite the turmoil around her. Her anxiety had sharpened her senses, making her acutely aware of every sound and movement.

As she drew closer, the sight that greeted her was unsettling. Guards who had once been stationed here now lay sprawled on the ground, some partially hidden among the nearby bushes.

“Sam, I’m at the north gate. All guards are down. Over,” Charlie said into her communicator, her voice strained but relieved.

“Proceed with caution,” Sam’s voice crackled back. “The rest of the team should be en route. Check for any additional threats or traps before you move.”

She scanned the control room adjacent to the gate, checking for any malfunctioning security feeds or alarms that might have been triggered. The cameras were dark, their screens showing only static.

"85," Ash's voice came over the coms, "we don't have time for you to linger. The gate is secure."

Charlie’s heart skipped a beat at the sound of Ash’s voice, a mix of relief and frustration washing over her. “Ash? Where are you?”

“Tower," Ash replied tersely, "You need to move now. 83 is approaching from the east, he appears injured," there was a pause, "I’ve got eyes on 74 and 78. They’re closing in on 84’s location.”

Sam’s mind raced as he limped forward, frustration mingling with the intense pain. This was supposed to be their chance to slip through the cracks, a moment of calculated chaos to facilitate their escape. Instead, it had become a test of sheer willpower. He had never imagined that the very mechanism designed to provide them a path to freedom would also leave him severely injured. The explosion that was meant to shield their exit now seemed like a cruel twist of fate.

As he  reached the north gate, relieved to find it secure and the path to freedom clear. His vision was blurred, but he saw Charlie’s figure, her tension was palpable as she scanned the area for any remaining threats.

“Charlie!” Sam called out, his voice hoarse but urgent. “How’s the situation?”

Charlie looked up, her eyes widening as she took in the state of Sams arm and leg, his uniform charred and burnt, sections appears practically melded to his flesh. "Sam! What happened?"

"No time," Same forced out, "we need to get to the safe house."

Charlie's eyes widened, but she knew better than to delay. The mission's success depended on swift action now.

“Alright. Let’s go,” Charlie said, her voice firm despite her worry. She rush forwards to help Sam, supporting him as they headed towards the safe house.

The sound of footsteps echoed through the building, making Alex freeze. He pressed his back against the wall, straining to listen. The footsteps were heavy and deliberate—74 was closing in.

Alex took a deep breath and peered through a crack in the wall, catching glimpses of their figures moving outside. The smoke was starting to dissipate, and the clearing visibility meant that Alex’s time was running out.

He reached for a small grenade from his belt, pulling the pin and tossing it through the gap in the wall towards the approaching footsteps. The grenade exploded with a deafening bang, sending a shower of debris into the air and momentarily disorienting 74.

Alex seized the opportunity. He swung out from behind the wall, his weapon trained on the area where 74 had been standing. The explosion had created a thick cloud of dust and debris, partially obscuring the enemy’s position. He fired several controlled bursts into the dust cloud, trying to hit 74 while they were still disoriented.

Time seemed to stretch and warp as Alex squared off against 74. The deafening roar of gunfire drowned out everything else, the sharp cracks of bullets cutting through the chaos. Alex’s body shook with the impact of the firefight, his body armour absorbing some of the brutal force. A sharp hot pain shot through his leg, but his focus remained on his opponent.

As the dust began to settle, the shape of 74’s body emerged from the veil of smoke. The figure lay motionless on the ground, sprawled amid the debris. The fight, for the moment, was over. The threat that had loomed so large moments ago was now still, the air around it filled with the eerie silence that followed a violent confrontation.

Alex took a moment to survey the scene, his mind racing as he processed the aftermath of the skirmish. The pain in his leg was a constant, he glanced down to see a slowly expanding stain of red.

“Alex, report your status.”

“74 is down for now,” Alex responded, his voice grim and laboured, "I lost sight of 78. Moving towards north gate now.”

He knew he had to be quick. He used the remaining smoke and debris to cover his movements as he made his way towards the north gate. Every step was a struggle, but he pushed through the pain and fatigue, driven by the urgency of their situation.

Ash watched as 84 took down 74 from the tower, he had considered intervening, but it looked like the even had things in hand.  He was fairly sure that if he survived this escape he was going to get a lecture, he'd deviated from the plan. But the plan was flawed, and it seemed unlikely that 83 or 85 would listen to him. So when the explosion occurred he's used the chaos to slip away, get to the north gate first and neutralise the guards, making the area secure before making his way up the tower to monitor everyone's movements.

Ash kept his gaze fixed through the scope of his rifle, tracking 78's movements with a mix of dread and grim determination. He had been paired with 78 for over a year, a partnership that had been fraught with tension and animosity. While Ash was trained as a precise and efficient assassin, specializing in silent, swift eliminations, 78 was the antithesis of everything Ash stood for. Where Ash preferred discretion and efficiency, 78 thrived on chaos and brutality.

His finger twitched on the trigger, as he tracked 78. He had the opportunity to end the threat right now, the man was in his crosshairs, vulnerable and exposed. But his body remained frozen, his breathing ragged and uneven, as images of 78’s cruelty flashed through his mind—scenes of unrestrained violence and abuse, the sadistic pleasure 78 took in tormenting others. Ash could almost feel the weight of each horrific memory pressing down on him, clouding his judgment and slowing his hand.

"Safehouse secure," Sams voice crackled over the coms, but Ash hardly heard it.

Alex's heart pounded as he limped through the wreckage, the pain in his leg a constant, throbbing reminder of the battle. The adrenaline from the fight was wearing off, leaving him fatigued and in severe discomfort. He glanced over his shoulder, catching sight of 78, who was now closing in on him.

The makeshift bandage around his leg was soaked with blood, and the tourniquet was barely holding. blood was now seeping through from a second gunshot to his side, and several smaller wounds where shrapnel had found gaps in his armour. Every step was a struggle, and his vision was starting to blur.

He had made it through the north gate, the safehouse was close, but in his current state even close felt like eternity. And he could practically feel 78’s presence, somewhere, following, watching.

Crouching behind a large piece of debris at the safehouse’s perimeter, his breathing coming in shallow, pained gasps He peered through the gaps in the rubble, watching as 78 advanced methodically, his presence a constant, threatening shadow.

Summoning what strength he had left, Alex grabbed a spare magazine from his belt and loaded it into his weapon. He adjusted his grip, feeling the weight of the gun as an anchor in the storm of pain and exhaustion. His plan was simple but risky—he would lure 78 into the open, then use the limited cover to his advantage.

Alex steadied himself behind the debris, bracing against the pain in his leg. He knew he had only moments before 78’s relentless pursuit reached the safehouse. Summoning every ounce of willpower, Alex started to make noise, firing sporadic shots toward 78’s direction to draw them out from their cautious approach.

The tactic worked; 78 shifted their focus to the source of the noise, advancing towards the sound. Alex watched as the figure drew closer, their movements methodical and unyielding. With each step, the gap between them closed, and Alex’s breathing grew more labored. He had to act quickly.

As 78 neared the edge of the perimeter, Alex emerged from his cover, moving with deliberate care despite his injuries. He aimed his weapon and fired a controlled burst, aiming for 78’s torso. The shots found their mark, but 78’s momentum barely faltered. They continued their advance, their expression hidden behind their helmet, but the determination in their movement was palpable.

Alex’s heart pounded violently as he faced the inescapable reality of his situation. With nowhere left to retreat, he felt a surge of desperation. As 78 raised their weapon, a cold certainty settled over him—he was about to die. His thoughts flashed to his teammates, Sam, Charlie, and Ash, and he desperately hoped they had managed to escape the chaos he was caught in.

With resignation, Alex closed his eyes, bracing for the inevitable end. The cacophony of distant gunfire and the blaring alarms seemed to fade into a muted haze. He braced himself for the impact of 78’s shot, feeling a chilling acceptance of his fate.

But then, amidst the oppressive silence of his final moments, a sudden, sharp crack pierced through the din. Alex’s eyes snapped open in disbelief and watched in stunned amazement as 78 crumpled to the ground. Blood bubble and gurgling from a fatal wound in their neck.

Carefully hobbling over to the fallen asset, his leg throbbing with every step, he crouched beside 78's body, seeing the unmistakable signs of a sniper’s precision: a single, clean shot that had ended the pursuit.

He had been prepared for death, braced for the end. Yet now, with 78’s body sprawled in front of him and the reality of survival sinking in, Alex felt adrift. He felt like he was floating in a limbo between the chaos of the fight and the uncertain safety of the safe house. The adrenaline that had fuelled him was fading, leaving him in a state of heavy fatigue.

The blaring alarms and distant sounds of combat had receded, replaced by an unsettling silence that seemed to echo Alex’s own uncertainty. His breathing was ragged, and the weight of his injuries made every breath a laborious effort.

The safe house was still close, just a short distance away. Alex knew he had to move, but the thought of getting up and dragging himself through the remaining distance was overwhelming. His body felt like it was encased in lead, each movement a gruelling task.

"Fuck sake 84! Move," he felt someone grab his arm and pull him up.

The jarring grip on Alex’s arm yanked him back to the present moment. His vision swam, blurred by pain and fatigue, and he struggled to clear his thoughts. When his eyes finally focused, he found himself staring at Ash.

"Move," Ash urges, "you can collapse once we get there."

Part: [5/5] Word Count: 3225 Content Warning: Guns, gunfire, site under attack, mentioned death. Visibility: Visible to anons. [I would like to request anons don't go sharing too much about the SCP object here with other muses though!] TLDR is at the bottom.

"... I never did any of that... I-..."

She couldn't help her shaking or the wetness in her eyes. She didn't deserve this. She wanted to go home to her husband and to her kids and to stay there and to be forever far away from this horrific place. She-

"I know."

She almost missed it. He spoke low and quiet, watching her for a few more moments from the far dimness at the end of the hall, a long silence following as the words slowly sank in. 

…

It wasn't long before the gap of nothing passed though; and with it, he began to come closer.

The woman was quick to stumble up, just about to run for the opposite side when she heard a click of irritation and another noise that she did not recognize, glancing back to see the end of a gun pointed straight at her.

She froze again.

"... I know you're not happy 'bout this; I wouldn't be either if I were in your shoes. Come on now though, I need y'a t' not be so antsy..." The words fell soft once again, the woman barely able to hear him over the distance.

Even more strange was perhaps the gentleness in his tone. It reminded her less of the words of someone pointing a gun at her and more the words of someone gently trying to coax a scared animal out from underneath a porch.

"... I ain't goin' t' kill you. Promise."

She hesitated. "What do you want?" She regretted how shaken her tone sounded.

He watched her for a moment, before calmly lowering the gun and using his head to gesture for her to come with him.

It took a few long moments for her to stand there. If she were to try and flee, she knew he would kill her before she even made it a few steps. If she were to stay, he could get irritated and shoot her anyways. If she were to follow, he would almost certainly shoot her in the end.

... There was nothing for her to win here. ...

...

He had promised...

She slowly inched forwards, resolving that the potential of him making due on his promise was better than any alternatives.

As she passed, he gave her a small nod of approval with a gentle expression and let her take a few steps ahead before turning to follow, keeping his head tilted down so that the brim of his hat hid his expression beneath it.

As she glanced at him, she could only barely catch a glimpse of the way that his eyes flicked to the sole camera in the hallway; formerly behind him but now directly in front of them. Even further, the gentle expression had been replaced with one of smugness — something that lingered only on the lower portion of his face without quite reaching his eyes that remained just barely hidden from the camera.

She couldn't help but stare for a few moments before noticing the way he glanced at her, the slight edge of amusement in his expression flitting up as he turned his chin up fast enough that she could hardly even tell if he had actually been correcting anything in his expression at all.

Regardless, she tore her eyes away and continued following the directions that he pointed to her.

----------

It was a mild walk.

As they trekked, she noticed more and more how each and every door was seemingly locked despite the fact that she was sure there were not that many people in this facility for each room to be occupied. ... Nonetheless, it made sense.

There would be nobody to jump out and scare them. It was just her, him, and assumedly the rest of the Insurgents still lingering in the cafeteria and wherever else they may have congregated...

After reaching a certain point, she also noticed another fact... Much of the equipment within the halls were damaged as well.

Smoke alarms laying busted on the ground beneath where they had been ripped out, fire extinguishers laying spent on the ground, and even the cameras appearing to have been freshly torn from the walls...

... There was nobody watching them. It was just them now. She wondered how quick the group had been to do that between her watching the monitors and the cameras lying there with their wires bear and torn.

"Y'a got a good memory, I hear?"

The words broke the silence, drawing her out of her thoughts and causing her to stop walking for a moment and look back at him. The smug expression the Insurgent had been wearing had long dropped back into an unreadable neutral expression.

"... I have been told that I do. Yes. ... Why?"

"Where are y'a keepin' four-three-zero-one?" He asked, glancing around. "It'd be like a CD. Has th' label 'Christmas 99'. You'd 'f gotten it within th' last few months. Y'a know where that one is?"

She hesitated, furrowing her eyebrows and pausing for a moment, taking a second for the first real time that she had started walking to glance around.

... She didn't understand. ... Was this not some death march that he was walking her on…?

… Nonetheless, it did not take long for her to recognize where they were and to start leading him in the direction of the item.

It was almost effortless to find the room after a few turns, recalling how it had been placed with a few other items and some of the difficulties encountered with testing while lacking the other element.

"It's-... We only have four-three-zero-one-B... We don't have the other part," She said softly as they reached the locked room, stopping in front of it.

The Insurgent hummed in acknowledgement and stepped back, gesturing for her to back up as well as he slid his phone from his pocket and took a picture of the door, seeming to be texting for a few more seconds before tucking his phone away again moments later.

"Th't's alright. C'n y'a show me th' cabinet?" He asked, stepping forward again and resting his hand on the locked knob.

... Only seconds later, his phone buzzed and he twisted the handle, the door opening much to her surprise.

"I-... How did you open that...? Do you still have access?"

He gave a small laugh, holding the door open for her. "No. None 'f th't. Don't worry 'bout it, I'm jus' good with doors, y’a know?"

She felt a slight edge of irritation at being brushed off as she entered but she did not comment on it, instead turning her attention to the rows of filing cabinets and hesitating as she moved to begin searching for the placement of the object.

Behind her, the Insurgent quietly tucked himself beside the door, texting someone for a few moments before joining her in searching just as she began to expect that he would be letting her locate it on her own.

It took a few long minutes; every single one of them she hoped desperately that someone would burst through the door and find her and that she would not have to give up anything but... 

That never happened. Instead, she merely let the feeling subside and resolved that she would choose to hope that he would merely leave her alone as soon as he had retrieved what he wanted.

It was only when she noticed a couple of other Insurgents joining them at the door of the room where they lingered less-than-helpfully that even that shred of hope began to falter.

… The more of them there were, the worse her chances would be…

In the end, she was the one to find the small DVD tucked away within a discreet folder at one of the far-side filing cabinets, passing it off to him without a single word and then watching him expectantly as he inspected it before nodding and cracking a much softer and content smile than earlier.

"Th’s is ‘xactly what I was lookin’ for. Looks like your memory really ain’t th’t bad," He laughed, the woman not finding the joke as funny.

She held her breath as he reached into his jacket where she knew the gun resided, relaxing just barely as she watched him tuck the DVD away and let go of the jacket, gesturing to the other two Insurgent's at the door to finally come in and causing her to tense once more.

Her breath nearly caught in her throat as she noticed that the shorter of the two still had her firearm held casually within one hand, eyeing her with amusement as she found herself staring in anticipatory horror at the weapon.

"Fuck y’a got th’t out for?" His words cut through the tension as he raised an eyebrow down at her, drawing the shorter Insurgent’s glance up and wiping the smirk off her lips. "It’s a fuckin’ library or somethin'. Th’ files ain’t goin’ t’ bite. Put th't away."

The shorter one gave an almost mocking frown before sighing and tucking it away in her waistband loosely.

“We need to get you something to hold that…” The younger looking Insurgent said slowly.

“It’s not hot!” The shorter one sharply responded.

“No, he’s right. You’re goin’ t’ burn yourself one 'f these days. Much as I’m sure you’d learn th’t lesson real quick, would be better t’ avoid it before it happens.”

The woman shifted slightly where she silently stood listening to their conversation. It… Almost put her at ease to hear them speaking normally, though it did little to resolve the nerves that were steadily building with each passing second that she was not allowed to finally walk away, nearly strangling her in her own fear.

… They could act human now. They could act however they wanted to act but that did nothing to change who these monsters really were.

“C’mon out.” Once again, it was his words to draw her out of her steadily building nervousness as the tall man made a brief gesture to the other two Insurgents as he took to the door, casting her another glance to indicate that he had been addressing her.

After a moment of hesitation and a slight sneer from the shorter Insurgent, she followed closer and slowly exited into the hallway.

… The smell was nearly suffocating. She could smell the rust of blood; that fact had not changed from earlier. It only became more overpowering now that she had been given time to recognize that she had truly extended her usefulness.

This was it.

… It was only moments later that another smell of something burning joined the rusted stench as the Insurgent calmly led her to the wall just beside the room so that she could not peer in, briefly taking a moment to glance back in the direction they had came from. “Further th’s way,” He said as he guided her just slightly further to the side.

As she shuffled just a few inches, she turned her head to glance back to what the man kept looking to the side, following his gaze to locate it with ease…

…

There at the far side of the corner at the end of the hall was a single camera; sloppily reinstalled with wires jutting from one of the sides but the small red light within indicating that it was nonetheless functional.

She felt her heart stop.

This would be it.

They were going to kill her. They were going to make a spectacle of it too. She was going to serve as a point. She would be a reminder for anyone that went against the fucking Insurgency. She was going to die for something she never did. She-...

She couldn’t breathe.

She couldn’t help but double over as it felt as if it all had hit her like a truck, ignoring the command to move a little further to the side so that her execution would be better captured. She was terrified.

She could hear him speaking to her, giving more commands that she couldn’t quite catch over her struggling to catch her breath. She didn’t want to listen to him. She didn’t want to be complacent in this. She was sorry. She was so sorry for everything. She couldn’t-... She-...

“Breathe. C’mon, let’s not let th’s get out ‘f hand more th’n it needs t’ be…”

“Shut up. Please shut up.”

Silence followed.

It lasted almost achingly long and then just a bit longer.

She slowly caught her breath, choking it back down and tensing as almost immediately after she had regained just a shred of composure, the man calmly stepped a few paces closer until she could see his boots from where he loomed over her hunched over form.

She froze as only moments later, the man calmly craned down to eye level, staring at her solemnly with his head tilted just slightly in the direction of the camera to hide his expression from it once more.

… Once again, the woman was left questioning exactly what expression she was even looking at with the sharpness just as easily having the potential to be sympathy as it could be threatening.

“Do you think you’ve got any reason t’ still be walkin’ around? Answer me honestly.”

“...” How was she supposed to answer that? What answer would reasonably satisfy a fucking monster like this?

The man tilted his head a little further, his expression unchanging. “C’mon, reason with me. What worth do y’a put out in th’ world? Anythin’? Anythin’ at all?”

“I have-... A family.” The words fell pointed. She didn’t know what else to say.

“They ain’t here. It’s just me an’ you. What’s your worth?”

She gritted her teeth slightly, thinking for a few moments. “... I have helped peop-”

“Mm… I said honestly. C’mon now… There’s got t’ be somethin’ better.” The gentleness to his tone was gone as he straightened up to where the woman could not see him anymore from where she remained hunched over. “… Sides, if you’re referrin’ t’ that job ‘f yours… Well, just take a look at how they threw y’a out… Even if y’a made it out ‘f here and still had a job, I wouldn’t let y’a escape twice…"

His words were slow. Coated in an edge that put her at unease and choked out any possibly thoughts she could put voice to as they arose.

"Try again. I’m bein’ real generous here. What worth do y’a provide t’ th’ world?”

She hesitated, digging her nails into her arms as she stared at the ground. She could smell the burning paper growing worse. … Were they burning the files…?

She heard a slight rustle of fabric and drew her eyes back up as she expected the barrel of a gun to have been drawn from his jacket and to be pressed against her head but-...

…

Instead, the man calmly set the hat that he was formerly wearing down on her own head, mockingly taking a moment to adjust it so that she could see the floor properly underneath the large item.

His expression had changed somewhere between when he had been crouching down in front of her and standing up straight. She almost missed the nearly unreadable sympathy as she barely craned her eyes up to stare at him from where she was hunched over… All that was left now was a mocking and cruel smile.

“Crickets, huh? … Ain’t goin’ t’ make a case for yourself…?” He mused, tilting his head again slightly now that she was staring daggers at him. He sounded irritatingly amused. “Y’a know what…? I think I agree… You make a strong case for yourself. I don’t think a whole lot of you contribute much either… Nothin’ good at least. Nothin’ noble or worth defendin’ or worth goin’ down in any history books in all glossy bright praiseful text…” He let the last couple of words lull out softly.

He slowly raised a hand above her field of vision. “... Nothin’. Good. At. All.” He hums softly, adjusting the hat again with a single finger, knocking it back down over her eyes with just a little tap for each word until it is back over her eyes by the final word, drawing a near snarl from the woman that seems to go either unnoticed or ignored.

He remains there for a few more moments until she hears movement outside of her limited field of vision, too frozen to even move the hat from her sight.

“All gone!” The irritatingly cheerful shorter one chimes from the side. “I am starving! Do we have any more of those really greasy sandwiches back home? I've been craving those all day!”

The man in front of her gives an amused chuckle before finally leaving her side, allowing her to finally draw her gaze back up fully and to sharply drag the hat off her head, dropping it to the ground while still allowing her other hand to dig her nails into her shaking arm.

“I think we c’n scrounge one or two up. Run ‘head, Claire should have th' doors back up by now. Make sure th’ others get out fine too.” As he spoke, the man calmly clapped a hand on the other insurgent’s shoulder, gesturing for them to go ahead with both obliging and chatting away as they passed the woman, the shorter of the two giving a sharp and jeering laugh as they passed the woman.

The lead Insurgent merely watched as the two ran ahead before eventually disappearing around a corner, leaving him to give a small shake of his head as he glanced back at the woman.

With a small sigh, he shook his head again as he approached where she still remained doubled over with her back to the wall.

He crouched over, scooping up the hat off the ground where it had been discarded beside her and-

“You’ve got your promise upheld and you’ve got an out f’r if they ask why y’ain’t dead. You can tell th’m bout this little chat right here but for th’ rest ‘f what we did here… Tell them it burned. Tell them it all burned.” The words were soft and quick.

He straightened up just as swiftly as he had picked up the hat, dusting it off before giving her a final brief glance and cracking a wide smile as if the previous words had never left his mouth, the woman still piecing through the meaning of what was just said.

The man paced away leisurely with his hands in his pockets, letting out a softly whistled tune as he walked. As he passed the camera, he called out a few final words. “Good luck with th’ distress signal. I'm sure you'll get it sorted out.”

Finally, he rounded the corner, vanishing from sight and leaving the woman silently hunched over in the hallway. Her eyes burned from the smoke nearby and yet… She could not pull herself away. … Not so soon after-... All of that…

She hesitated before finally crumpling to the ground as she clutched her arms tighter together, finally feeling the tears beginning to well as it sank in how close she had been to the same fates as those that had been signed to termination by her own hand over the years…

…

She was going to need time once this was all over…

… She knew she would need to sign her resignation first.

TLDR; Dogwood promises to spare the woman and uses her to find an SCP object that he takes, then having two other Insurgents burn the rest of the files. He then threatens the woman to tell him what purpose she has in the world, of which she does not respond. He points out that she’s right and that the Foundation does not have a good purpose before sparing her life. As he leaves, he points out that he made due on his promise and tells her to say that everything in the document room was burned. The story ends with him leaving and the woman planning on resigning.

This metaphor sucks for about 5 million reasons but once again:

This metaphor presupposes the existence of A Voice that warns you of the fire -- as opposed to say, nothing?? Dying in a fire?? (I mean, you would hope they have some fire alarms installed but maybe in this metaphor John Green uninstalled his fire alarms because he was convinced The Voice In The Sky would save him. Which feels like a relevant distinction.)

This presupposes The Voice is benevolent. Like it's not assassins with a megaphone trying to lure them out of their house in the middle of the night. Is there even a fire in this metaphor? Are there signs of a fire? Smoke? Heat? The smell of the latest John Green novel going up in flames?

The entire metaphor hinges on their eminent demise. The only reason you would not take the time to question who The Voice belongs to would be because you're about 5 mins away from death and, sure, that's not the ideal environment for a theological debate. (If that's your point, John, I think we can all agree: don't have lengthy philosophical debates in burning buildings.) But you're telling me as soon as the emergency situation was resolved, you wouldn't be deeply curious about where The Voice came from? Or if The Voice said something less life-threatening like, "Hmm idk John I'm not so sure about that choice of sweater, it doesn't really go with your eyes," you're telling me you wouldn't be questioning where the voice came from? You'd just be happy for the fashion advice? Because I'd be checking for hidden cameras in my house, filing a police report, etc. (Incidentally did anyone else enjoy The Watcher? I thought it was a good show.)

John how are you still using this metaphor???? Come on, man.

Abandoned (Jay Park AU)

 - Momentous Meeting - 

Contaminated water was dripping down from the ceiling, landing on Sophias’s forehead as she entered the abandoned warehouse. Lim Dohuyun placed a hand above her head protectively, while Choi Minsoo guided Sophia and the other men through the darkness.

“Won’t anybody notice that we are here?”

Sophia asked, whispering instinctively. Choi Minsoo appeased her, saying that they stopped using that warehouse when the police discovered it. No one would ever return here.

“Is it safe then?”

“Yes. We searched the whole place when we came back for the first time. It’s clean.”

Sophia chuckled. Obviously Choi was referring to the fact that there weren’t any bugs or hidden cameras installed by the police.

When they arrived in front of a locked door, Choi produced a key from his pocket and removed the locks. He switched on the lights and Sophia gasped. The walls were full of notes about every single family member, also members of other families. Who they were loyal to, if they could be bought off or swayed. Sophia’s eyes scurried over the notes, they were divided equally between those who sided with Jay and those who didn’t.

“We met here for the first time a year ago. It was the evening after Jinyoung had gathered us in the dining room to tell us that he was sick. His illness had already progressed at that point and he felt the need to let us know what would happen in the future. It was the first time he mentioned Jay as a successor. Inofficially a lot of us already knew he would be the one carrying on Jinyoung’s legacy. When he mentioned Jay, some of the family members openly showed their disapproval. We never found out if Jinyoung was aware, but some of us noticed and kept our guards up around them.”

Sophia listened closely, wondering how far either side was willing to go in order to influence the other. Lim Dohyun seemed to have read her mind, trying to allay her suspicions.

“We never had to apply force or anything, it’s just heated debates every now and then.”

“Then why the need for a hideout?”

“It’s the only place where we can talk freely. About how we want to expand the business, cement ties with other families and share Jinyoung’s vision. Those who oppose Jay as a leader often try to sabotage deals and act as roadblocks.”

Sophia nodded understandingly.

“You want me on your team. Hoping that I could change people’s minds? Is that it?”

“Jaebeom would be furious if he found out, but the truth is he needs help. Other families are willing to cooperate with us but our internal quarrels make it look like he doesn’t have a handle on things. It makes him look inexperienced when he’s the one with the most experience here.”

Choi Minsoo was 40. Still, he looked up to his younger boss and not once doubted him or his abilities. He knew Jinyoung mentored him well and trusted that Jay knew what was best for the family.

“Would it really help if I married Lee Ho-Seok? From where I’m standing, only the Lee family would profit from such an arrangement.”

“Those who oppose Jaebeom claim that an alliance with the Lee family is the only way to guarantee our existence. They say we’re weak and that the Lee family would protect us.”

“I’m guessing you share a different opinion.”

Choi Minsoo nodded. But before he could answer, a rattling noise had everyone alarmed. He instructed someone to go outside and check. Minutes passed but he didn’t return so another man went to look for him. When he too disappeared, Lim pulled Sophia close to him while Choi went to check for himself. The men standing around, drew their guns when Choi tumbled back into the room, his face bloody and swollen.

Too late the men noticed the smoke-bomb that rolled towards Sophia. There was commotion and shots were fired. When the fog settled, Lim was lying on the ground, wincing in pain. They looked around, but Sophia was long gone.

Jay was unaware of all of that, sitting at his desk, reviewing old deals Jinyoung had made. Outside he heard the screeching sound of car tires and loud voices in the hall. It was all over before he could complain. Then a single knock on his door. Jay knew it was Choi.

“God, what happened to you?”

Jay chuckled, sounding amused. His captain wasn’t someone who’d get beat up easily.

“Sophia is gone!”

“What!?”

Jay sprang off his chair, his piercing stare glued on Choi.

“We don’t have time! I’ll tell you everything on the way.”

In the hallway, Jay noticed the gunshot wound on Lim’s leg, yet the young man followed him, Choi and a few others outside. They got in two cars and drove off.

Choi, who drove the first car, had his eyes firmly on the road. Jay, at the passenger’s seat, constantly looked over to him but Choi didn’t falter.

“Talk!”

Jay’s roaring voice echoed in the car, startling Lim and the other guy in the backseat.

“We met with Sophia in the old warehouse in Gwangjin. But we have been ambushed.”

“Who?”

Choi kept quiet, unsure of who it could be, pondering who might’ve known about their secret hideout.

“I asked a question, Minsoo. Who?”

Jay screamed, and the men were visibly shaken. After a few more seconds of silence, Lim answered, his voice trembling from the pain his wound was causing him.

“Jung and Moon were guarding the door. Boss, you know these two well! They wouldn’t let anyone in. This was an inside job.”

Jay released the breath he was holding, staring at Choi again.

“There were 12 guys with me. Four are back at the mansion. Four in the car behind us. Two in this car. The two unaccounted for are the traitors.”

“Traitors? What the fuck?”

“I’ll explain later, Boss. Our priority now is to find Sophia.”

Choi pulled up right at the entrance of the warehouse. Jay got out and went to the car behind them to check who was inside. He asked for the names of those who remained at the mansion and went back to Choi with that information.

“Then Byeon and Cha are missing.”

“Any traces?”

“No, Boss."

“Why did you call them traitors earlier?”

“Me and 12 of your men, we meet sometimes in this warehouse. The family is split into two teams, Boss, I’m sure you know. Those who aren’t on your side systematically sabotage our efforts and so we figured if we want the element of surprise we should gather somewhere to discuss matters in peace.”

“Jinyoung built a freaking mansion! Surely you could find a spare room to occupy.”

“We didn’t feel safe enough there. I’m sorry, Boss. I’ll take full responsibility for what happened here today!”

Jay scoffed and walked away from Choi. When he approached Lim, who limped alongside the wall, he appeared to be talking to himself.

“Did you find anything?”

The young man shook his head furiously.

“We checked everyone. They were all ...”

“Don’t beat yourself up.”

“It was me who persuaded Choi to tell Ms. Sophia about our secret meetings. I was certain she could sway some of the others to change their minds about you.”

Jay chuckled and patted the young man on the back.

“I’ll call someone to come pick you up. You shouldn’t be walking around with that leg. Get treated. That’s an order!”

Lim nodded and limped back to the car. Suddenly Choi screamed, catching everyone’s attention.

“What is it?”

Choi was waving a piece of paper in the air, grinning satisfied.

“Someone dropped this. It’s an address. I bet Sophia is being held there.”

“Let’s go then!”

Jay, Choi and the remaining five men made their way to the address, hoping to find Sophia unharmed.

Sophia’s head was buzzing when she came back to her senses. She tried to move, but realized soon that she couldn’t. Slowly she opened her eyes, finding herself tied up to a chair. Three men had their backs turned to her and didn’t seem to notice that she was awake.

Panic rose in her, but she remained still, afraid the men might harm her if they knew she had woken up. From what she could see she wasn’t injured or had any blood on her. She closed her eyes again and tilted her head back, pretending to be still unconscious, praying that Choi and Lim would come rescue her.

“You’re up. The anesthesia doesn’t last long.”

Sophia didn’t recognize that man’s voice immediately but as soon as he turned around she gasped.

“It’s nice to see you again! Sorry it had to happen like this.”

Kang Nam-Gil laughed while instructing the other two men to guard the door.

“Where am I?”

“Somewhere safe, don’t worry.”

“What do you want from me?”

Although Kang Nam-Gil tried to remain calm, even force himself to a lopsided smile, Sophia could see he was angered.

“Let’s see. You could cooperate.”

“I need to know what you want in order to do that.”

Sophia tried to keep her voice steady, even though she shuddered with every step Kang took in her direction.

She thanked God that she oftentimes had to treat unruly, uncooperative or drunk patients at the hospital and thus knew how to deal with them while still remaining calm.

“I want you to marry Lee Ho-Seok.”

“Can I ask why?”

“Jaebeom is unsuited to be a boss, and doesn’t like me very much. Lee Sang-Woo on the other hand knows what I’m capable of and, thanks to some deals I’ve made with him, looks at me favorably.”

“What about my father’s wishes?”

“Your father’s dead, sweetie. And his wishes died with him. The dead don’t rule.”

Kang came dangerously close to her, only inches away from Sophia’s face. She tried to keep her eyes on him, while he taunted her. With a hand he grabbed her chin, wrapping his palm around her throat.

“You don’t like me very much either, do you?”

“I don’t know you that well.”

“Well, we could change that. The boys are guarding the door. We won’t be interrupted. What do you say?”

He whispered the last words close to her ear, causing a cold shiver to run down her spine. His other hand went up her thigh.

“These clothes look extremely uncomfortable, should we get rid of them?”

Sophia knew not to anger him, but ignoring a madman could lead to her demise as well.

“I’m very cold, I’d like to keep them on.”

“That’s going to make things difficult for me, sweetie. You don’t want that.”

Sophia closed her eyes as Kang Nam-Gil pulled the fabric off her shoulders. A single tear escaped her eye and she prayed someone, anyone, would find her soon.

“Leave the car here.” 

Jay instructed Choi when they reached their destination. In the distance he saw a car he didn’t recognize. The driver was inside. He pointed at him and two of his men nodded, eager to take him out. Choi stopped abruptly, mumbling something, and when Jay looked to where Choi was pointing, he saw Byeon and Cha at the door.

“They wouldn’t leave her alone. There are more men inside. We might be outmanned, Boss.”

“We’re not leaving without Sophia!”

Choi nodded and signaled for the remaining men to cover them, while he and Jay walked slowly up to the door.

From a distance they shot at Byeon and Cha, making sure to avoid hitting any vital organs and only causing flesh wounds.

Quickly Jay and Choi went inside with the rest storming in and disarmed Kang Nam-Gil.

Choi made sure no one would come close to Jay as he loosened the ties on Sophia, while the remaining men beat up Kang. 

Eventually Jay was able to free Sophia, and picked her up bridal style, carrying her out of the building. He set her on her feet outside to check for injuries and she shrieked when Choi carried the lifeless body of Kang Nam-Gil outside, casually draped over his shoulder.

Back at the mansion, Jay carried Sophia through a secret entrance to the infirmary, where Lim was already treated for his gunshot wound.

A doctor examined her thoroughly, concluding that she was only drugged with a tiny amount of liquid ecstacy.

“She’s going to experience some mild withdrawal symptoms for a few days but other than that she will be fine.”

The doctor informed Jay as he was checking in on Lim Dohyun.

“Is Ms. Sophia okay?”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

“Did you get them, Boss?”

“We did.”

A few days later Jay stopped by to check in on Sophia again, only to find her treating Byeon’s and Cha’s wounds.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m a doctor, did you forget?”

“Those are the men who kidnapped you!”

“I’m helping Dr. Hwang.”

“Leave them and come with me. They’ll live.”

He guided Sophia to his office and set a cup of tea in front of her.

“Tell me what happened that night. In as much detail as you can.”

After Sophia told Jay what had occurred, she avoided his stare, looking out the window instead.

“There’s more. What are you hiding?”

“Does it matter? Kang is dead. You killed him!”

“Would you prefer we let him live? What did he tell you?”

“He said he sucked up to Lee Sang-Woo and that he wanted me to marry his son because he hoped to benefit from that.”

“Okay. Let’s get you back to the infirmary.”

“Wait! I want to go home. I feel fine.”

“You’re going home when Dr. Hwang says you can go home. And even then, I’m not sure that’s the best option. Maybe it would be better if you moved back here.”

“Do you think Kang didn’t have allies in this house? He wasn’t doing this by himself. Whoever helped him knows by now that he’s dead. Do you really think they won’t seek revenge? And you want me to stay here?”

“At least here I can see you. No one would dare to harm you.”

“If what Choi and Lim say is true, then half the people working for you wouldn’t even bat an eye if you somehow ended up dead. You’re not safe here either!”

Jay snorted in amusement. He had already dodged several bullets. Literally. If there was one thing he was good at, it was staying alive.

“I’m touched. But I can take care of myself. And you. And my men.”

Jay opened the door, making a dramatic gesture to Sophia and she rolled her eyes when she walked past him.

Back in the infirmary, she saw Choi who was checking in on Lim.

“How are you feeling?”

“I’m okay, really.”

“I’ve already told Jaebeom I plan to take full responsibility for what happened. I shouldn’t have allowed this. It was reckless of me to expose you like this.”

“You did nothing wrong!”

“I didn’t check my men. Kang got to them and I didn’t even know!”

He bowed his head to Sophia and went off to talk to Jay.

When Jay heard what his captain suggested he was less than amused but couldn’t shake off the feeling that Choi was right.

In the middle of the night he sneaked into the infirmary, relieved when he saw Sophia wasn’t sleeping.

“Put these on. Quietly!”

He handed her a pair of jeans and a grey sweater, sneakers and a baseball cap. When Sophia was done changing he went into the room again and together they walked out. 

Outside, a van was parked right in front of the entrance. Jay got in behind the wheel and they drove off quickly. For miles Sophia wasn’t talking, although she had a lot of questions. When Jay stopped at a red light, he looked over to her.

“We’re flying back to the States. At least for a while.”

Why Smoke Detector Hidden Cameras are a Smart Choice for Home Security

In today’s world, home security is a top priority for many homeowners. As technology continues to advance, there are many new options available for keeping your home safe, including the smoke detector hidden camera. While it may sound like something out of a James Bond movie, smoke detector hidden cameras are becoming an increasingly popular choice for those looking to protect their homes. In this article, we will discuss why smoke detector hidden cameras are a smart choice for home security.

First and foremost, smoke detector hidden cameras are incredibly discreet. Unlike traditional security cameras, which can be easily spotted by intruders, smoke detector cameras blend in seamlessly with the rest of your home’s decor. This means that potential intruders will be less likely to spot them, allowing you to monitor your home without anyone being the wiser.

Another advantage of smoke detector hidden cameras is that they provide a wide-angle view of your home. This means that you can capture footage of every angle of your home, allowing you to monitor your property more effectively. With traditional security cameras, you may need to install multiple cameras in different locations to capture the same level of coverage.

Additionally, smoke detector cameras are relatively easy to install. Unlike traditional security cameras, which often require professional installation, smoke detector cameras can be easily installed by homeowners themselves. This makes them a cost-effective option for those looking to enhance their home security without breaking the bank.

One of the most significant benefits of smoke detector hidden cameras is that they can be accessed remotely. This means that you can monitor your home from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection. Many smoke detector cameras come equipped with apps that allow you to view live footage and receive notifications when motion is detected. This feature is especially useful for those who travel frequently or have vacation homes that they want to keep an eye on.

Another advantage of smoke detector hidden cameras is that they can be used in conjunction with other smart home devices. For example, if you have a smart lock installed on your front door, you can use your smoke detector camera to see who is at the door before unlocking it. Similarly, you can use your camera to monitor your home’s temperature and adjust your thermostat accordingly. This integration makes smoke detector cameras a versatile tool for home security.

It is important to note that using a smoke detector hidden camera comes with ethical and legal considerations. While it is legal to install a smoke detector camera in your own home, it is illegal to install one in someone else’s home without their consent. Additionally, you must inform any guests who stay in your home that there is a hidden camera in the smoke detector. Failure to do so could result in legal consequences.

In conclusion, smoke detector hidden cameras are an excellent choice for home security. They are discreet, easy to install, provide wide-angle coverage, and can be accessed remotely. Additionally, they can be integrated with other smart home devices to create a comprehensive home security system. However, it is important to remember that ethical and legal considerations must be taken into account when using these devices. By using them responsibly, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is safe and secure.

Hidden Security Cameras for Home

Introduction

Home security has evolved significantly in recent years, with advancements in technology making it easier than ever to protect your property. One of the most effective tools in modern home security is the hidden security camera. These discreet devices offer homeowners the ability to monitor their property without drawing attention. This comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about hidden security cameras for home use, including their benefits, types, installation tips, legal considerations, and more.

The Benefits of Hidden Security Cameras

Hidden security cameras offer numerous advantages over traditional, visible surveillance systems. Here are some key benefits:

Enhanced Security

The primary benefit of hidden security cameras is enhanced security. Because they are not easily noticeable, they are less likely to be tampered with or disabled by intruders. This allows them to continue recording even when a visible camera might be compromised.

Discreet Monitoring

Hidden cameras provide discreet monitoring, which can be particularly useful in situations where you don’t want to alert others to the presence of surveillance. This is ideal for monitoring caregivers, service personnel, or even to keep an eye on your children or pets without making them feel uncomfortable.

Evidence Collection

In the unfortunate event of a crime, hidden cameras can provide crucial evidence. Their covert nature increases the chances of capturing clear footage of the perpetrators without their knowledge, which can be invaluable for law enforcement and insurance purposes.

Peace of Mind

Knowing that your home is under constant surveillance can provide peace of mind. Hidden cameras allow you to monitor your property in real-time or review footage later, ensuring that you are always aware of what is happening in and around your home.

Types of Hidden Security Cameras

Hidden security cameras come in various shapes and sizes, each designed to blend seamlessly into different environments. Here are some common types:

Nanny Cams

Nanny cams are specifically designed to monitor caregivers and ensure the safety of children. These cameras are often disguised as everyday household items such as stuffed animals, clocks, or picture frames.

Miniature Cameras

Miniature cameras are small, compact devices that can be hidden in various locations around the home. They are often wireless and can be easily concealed in furniture, plants, or other objects.

Spy Cameras

Spy cameras are designed for covert surveillance and can be hidden in a wide range of objects, from smoke detectors and air purifiers to USB chargers and alarm clocks. These cameras are typically motion-activated and can record high-quality video.

Outdoor Hidden Cameras

Outdoor hidden cameras are designed to blend into the exterior of your home. They can be disguised as garden decorations, light fixtures, or other outdoor objects. These cameras are weather-resistant and provide excellent coverage of your property’s perimeter.

Installation Tips for Hidden Security Cameras

Proper installation is crucial to ensure that your hidden security cameras are effective. Here are some tips to help you set up your cameras:

Choose the Right Locations

The effectiveness of your hidden cameras largely depends on their placement. Identify key areas in and around your home that require monitoring, such as entry points, common areas, and vulnerable spots. Ensure that the cameras have a clear view of these areas.

Ensure Sufficient Lighting

Although hidden cameras are designed to be discreet, they still require adequate lighting to capture clear footage. Ensure that the areas you want to monitor are well-lit, or consider using cameras with night vision capabilities.

Test Camera Angles

Before finalizing the installation, test the camera angles to ensure that they capture the desired areas. Make adjustments as needed to avoid blind spots and ensure comprehensive coverage.

Secure Your Network

If you are using wireless hidden cameras, it is essential to secure your network to prevent unauthorized access. Use strong passwords and encryption to protect your camera feeds and ensure that only authorized users can view the footage.

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure that your hidden cameras continue to function properly. Check the cameras periodically to ensure they are free from obstructions and that their batteries (if applicable) are charged.

Legal Considerations

While hidden security cameras can be a valuable tool for home security, it is important to be aware of the legal considerations associated with their use:

Privacy Laws

Privacy laws vary by location, but in general, it is illegal to record video or audio in areas where individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as bathrooms or bedrooms. Ensure that your cameras are placed in public areas of your home to avoid legal issues.

Consent Requirements

In some jurisdictions, it is required to obtain consent from individuals before recording audio or video. Familiarize yourself with the laws in your area and ensure that you comply with any consent requirements.

Disclosure Obligations

In certain situations, such as employing a nanny or caregiver, you may be required to disclose the presence of hidden cameras. Ensure that you are transparent with any individuals who may be affected by your surveillance.

Popular Brands and Models

When it comes to choosing hidden security cameras, there are several reputable brands and models to consider. Here are some popular options:

Purpose

Determine the primary purpose of your hidden camera. Are you looking to monitor a specific area, keep an eye on a caregiver, or enhance overall home security? Your purpose will guide your choice of camera.

Features

Consider the features that are important to you, such as video quality, motion detection, night vision, and audio capabilities. Ensure that the camera you choose meets your requirements.

Connectivity

Decide whether you prefer a wired or wireless camera. Wireless cameras offer greater flexibility in terms of placement, but wired cameras may provide more reliable performance.

Budget

Hidden cameras are available at various price points. Set a budget and look for cameras that offer the best value for your money while meeting your needs.

Integrating Hidden Cameras with Home Security Systems

For a comprehensive home security solution, consider integrating hidden cameras with your existing security system. Here are some tips for seamless integration:

Compatibility

Ensure that the hidden cameras you choose are compatible with your home security system. Many modern security systems offer integration with a wide range of cameras.

Centralized Monitoring

Use a centralized monitoring system to view and manage all your security cameras from a single interface. This makes it easier to monitor your property and review footage.

Smart Home Integration
