45 When the train stopped, people in the car were shifting around to gather their stuff and exit. Onew was prepared to be the first off, grabbing Taemin's hand and standing. Taemin just barely had time to pick up his bag before they were on the way towards the door.
When it opened, though, a group of police men were standing outside the door - outside each door the train, in fact. One particular held his hand up at the doorway, "Everyone just come out slowly."
In his hand that wasn't held in the 'stop' gesture, he held a piece of paper. He glanced down at that paper once before looking back at Taemin. "Lee Taemin?"
Taemin started to back away from the door, whimpering. "Noodle..."
Onew looked over his shoulder. Key was laughing. "No..." Onew said.
"We need you to come with us."
"But I didn't do anything.."
"Then you don't have anything to worry about. Just slowly step on out."
People were backing away from the doorway as they realized Taemin seemed to be who the police were looking for. They clearly expected him to break into violence, and afterall, why would all of these police be here if it wasn't a pretty big deal?
"Please." Taemin looked at Onew, hoping for some way out. "I really didn't do anything."
"Son, I'm gonna ask you one more time to come with us."
Onew widened his eyes at Taemin, backing away from him. Taemin looked at him in shock.
"Alright, come on out now, son." The policeman gently took Taemin's arm, and Taemin didn't resist. He stepped down, and followed instructions, staying still after carefully putting his bookbag on the ground."

Once off the train, having escaped through another door, Onew grabbed Key's shoulder, jerking him hard to turn him to face him. "What did you tell them?"
Key laughed, "That Lee Taemin, the extremely dangerous suspect in a nurse's murder, was on our car."
"He's a suspect?"
"You know how The Council works, Onew. What did you think would happen?"
Onew looked over to the group of police, seeing one of them pass Taemin's switchblade to another. "This is..."
"A lot of attention in one little area. If you act up, I think there's a lot of people who will be happy to control you. Now let's go see Minho."
Jonghyun stepped up next to them, taking hold of Onew's hand and giving him a huge grin. "You mad?"
"I need to focus on Minho now. I'll kill you both later."
"Officers~" Key softly whined, "He's threatening me~."
"I think tonight is a good night~." Jonghyun sang, walking ahead with Onew in tow.

"Where were you?" Jessica asked idly, looking away from the computer for just a brief second as Krystal returned to the room.
"With Minho. I saw him naked."
"Mmm~." Jessica smiled, "Nice."
"It was embarrassing." Krystal said quickly, but softened up to add. "But it was nice."
"Sweety..." Jessica said, turning her attention more fully to Krystal. "As cute as the young human love~ thing might be. You should probably let it go. I don't think I'm gonna be able to afford that boytoy this time around."
Krystal stared, "But why..? He's counting on you."
"I'm not saying I'm not going to try, baby. But he's top notch, since he's bonded." Jessica shrugged, "You know how rare it is that a vampire gets an opportunity to takes someone else's bonded. Mm, but it's such sweet victory.." she looked reminiscent.
"Maybe we can find his vampire for him. Maybe he'll be able to afford him or whatever."
"Pay attention, girl. His vampire is Onew. You know Onew." Jessica twirled a lock of hair around her finger, "He's the cutie pie that killed his own sire, among other idiot things"
"Wait, what? Are you sure? Minho is bonded to him?"
"Couldn't be more sure. And he has enough enemies that will want to be all over breaking his bond." Jessica went back to her typing. "If that isn't enough, the boy is cute, as you've so clearly noticed. Shame..."
Krystal looked defeated, standing there with a blank expression.
".. Krystal~. I don't want to see you all sad like that. Go.. get me a human or something. Mmkay?"
Krystal nodded, "Be right back, Jessica."
