Mafia!AU
Pairing: Suho x Reader
Warning: kidnapping
Summary: You’re sure that EXO is involved in the recent arson case you’ve been on. Now all you need is the evidence.
“Alright, ma’am. What’s wrong?”
The woman has a determined look on her face, a kind of hurt in her eyes. “My house burned down.”
You look through the file you were given about the case. “Yes. A few days ago, right?”
“Yes.” She nods.
You stare at her. “…And? You said you had something else to add to the case?”
“It wasn’t an accident.” She says firmly. “It was arson.”
“Arson.” You repeat, glancing down at the file again. “There was no evidence of it being deliberate. Why do you say that?”
“I know who did it.”
“Who?”
She leans in, eyes glancing around as if to see if anyone is listening, voice dropping low. “EXO.”
You furrow your brows, looking at her as if to make sure you heard her correct. She looks dead serious, expression grim.
You lean back in your seat. “EXO. And you have proof?”
“Well, no.” She answers, sighing. “But he told me himself! I’m can act as witness.”
“Yes, but you didn’t actually see him do it, right?” You ask and she looks stumped for a moment before sadly shaking her head no.
You sigh. “Alright, ma’am. I’ll keep that in mind. Don’t worry, we’ll investigate it.”
The woman nods dejectedly, rising from her seat. She turns to leave, but turns back at the last moment, grabbing your hand. “Please, please believe me. It’s EXO, I swear!”
“I understand, ma’am.” You say comfortingly, gently prying her hands off your arm. “We’ll do what we can.”
Her lower lip wobbles and she seems as if she might cry. She nods, thanking you before leaving.
“Well?”
You turn to find your partner, Junmyeon, looking at you with crossed arms. “Well what?”
“What did she say?” He asks, glancing at the case folder. “She had something to add about the fire?”
“Yeah.” You sigh, handing the folder to him to glimpse over. There’s not much reason to read it again though. The two of you have read through it dozens of times already, and have found nothing suspicious about the fire. Your department has done thorough investigation on the case, and have come up empty-handed. You were ready to close the case as a normal accident, but now you’re not too sure. “She said EXO did it.”
“EXO?” Junmyeon repeats, surprised. “That mafia gang? Why would they do that?”
You shrug. “Well, she’s the daughter of a wealthy, powerful man. Maybe there was enmity between them.”
“I don’t know.” Junmyeon frowns. “Sounds a bit sloppy to me, to be honest. They could have much better ways to destroy a person—and no one even died. Doesn’t sound like EXO habit.”
You shrug, nodding at his reasoning. “That’s true, I guess. Still, I’ll go take another look at the scene. You coming?”
Junmyeon shakes his head, “I’ve still got to finish the report for the last case, but tell me what you find—if you find anything.” He flashes you a warm smile, waving as you throw on your jacket, heading out the building.
“Sorry I called on such a short notice.” You tell the police officers. “A woman came to me this morning saying it wasn’t an accident.”
“It’s no problem.” One of them says, following you under the barricade tape. “But we searched through the scene several times already with no findings.”
“I know.” You answers, looking around the place for what seems like the tenth time. “But if it really wasn’t an accident, there has to be some evidence left.”
You search through the ash with gloved hands, digging for anything that might have survived the fire. Nothing. You find several shattered bottles of what used to be alcohol, but you were told they had a wine cellar so that’s not strange.
After hours of search, you finally sigh, giving up. Nothing. The reports of the fire show that the fire started from a cigar, which is a very common occurrence. Nothing suspicious there either.
“Find anything?” The officers as as you pull of your gloves, and you shake your head.
“Nothing.” You answers and no one seems surprised. They’re all thorough in their search, so in all honesty you weren’t expecting to find anything. It was still worth a shot, though.
“Can I take a look around the perimeter?” You ask, and they nod. You survey the area, seeing where an attacker could have come from or where they escaped. The house is surrounded by trees, so it’s not hard for the attacker to escape into the woods.
Following this idea, you head a little farther into the trees, looking around. No footprints—you checked before. No car tracks either.
No tracks doesn’t necessarily mean it was an accident, though. Practiced offenders like EXO will have no problem covering their tracks. But that also means there’s no evidence.
You sigh, again finding nothing. You begin to turn back when you catch sight of something.
Something…blue?
You kneel, putting on new gloves and grabbing tweezers from your bag. You pluck it out of the soil and examine it. It seems like a petal from a flower. A rose, perhaps.
You place it gently and carefully into a ziplock bag, bringing it back to the officers. “Hey, are there any roses growing around here?”
“Roses?” An officers repeats, looking at her team. “No, I don’t think so.”
You frown at the worn petal. It’s already mostly brown, wrinkled, and it was imprinted into the soil as if it had been stepped on, so it must have been here for a while… “Alright, I’m going to call it a day. Thanks for being here, guys. Go home and get some rest.”
“Hello?”
“Hi, I’m the officer you spoke to yesterday, remember me?” You speak into the phone, a notepad ready in your hands for any important notes you might discover.
“Oh, yes.” The woman answers, sounding eager. “Did you find anything?”
“Maybe,” you answer. “I looked around your house and find a blue rose petal imprinted in the soil nearby. Would you happen to know where it came from? For example, did you have any blue roses in your house?”
“It’s Sehun!” She exclaims immediately. “Oh Sehun. He’s a member of EXO and always wears a lapel blue rose pin. He told me himself that he got someone to burn the house!”
Your eyes widen as you immediately jot down the name. You’re sure you’re heard of him, or read about him somewhere. She certainly isn’t making this up. “Why would he do that?”
“He wanted something…” She says, trailing off. “He insisted on seeing our wine cellar, and the day after he saw it our house burned down.”
Wine cellar…interesting. “He told you he did it?” You ask her. “Did you see him do it, though?”
“Well, no.” She answers slowly. “But it’s him. Please believe me. You have to catch him!”
“I’m working on it.” You tell her gently. “Thank you for your time. I’ll do everything I can to get to the bottom of this.”
You bid her goodbye and hang up. You look at your notes, tapping your pen against your chin thoughtfully. You’re sure this information will be useful.
You flip through the file on EXO, stopping at the document with Sehun’s name and picture at the the top. You scan through the minimum details, sighing in defeat when you can’t find much information. There’s hardly anything on EXO, other than their names and some side notes, nothing that can help you on this case.
Junmyeon comes in, tapping you gently on the shoulder. “Hey, how’s the search coming?”
You snap the folder closed, playing it back on the shelf, sighing. “Some clues, but no evidence.”
“You know, maybe it wasn’t EXO after all.” Junmyeon says. “You know, that woman might’ve been lying. The rose petal you found could actually be from her house, but she wanted to frame EXO.”
“Why would she do that?” You ask, your tone almost accusing.
Junmyeon shrugs. “I’m just saying. I’m worried about you. You tend to go poking around dangerous places and I don’t want you getting hurt.” His eyes darkness. “You know how terrifying EXO is.”
Your eyes softens on Junmyeon, and you squeeze his arm. “I’ll be okay, I promise. But I have to find out who did this.”
Junmyeon looks at you for a second, searching your eyes before he finally sighs, nodding. “Okay, but please, be safe.”
EXO’s base.
Your heart thuds in your chest, and you hold your gun close, pointing downwards and ready to shoot at any moment.
You glance at your surroundings, finding no one there. After several sleepless nights of research and scouring, you finally managed to find your way here. There’s no mistaking it—This is EXO’s base and you’re taking Oh Sehun with you for the crime of arson.
Hopefully you’ll uncover even more evidence for all their past crimes on the way.
You enter silently, glancing around cautiously. Strange…no one seems to be here. You didn’t expect EXO’s base to be this empty, or this unguarded.
You reach for your mic, ready to call for backup at any moment. In all honesty, you should’ve called for backup before you came in, but you wanted to find him yourself first, if possible.
There’s a door that’s half open up ahead, light streaming out. You swallow, making your way towards it.
You peak in, and then you feel a sharp pain against your neck.
The world fades around you as you hit the ground.
You groan, your head throbbing. You try to move, but find your hands and feet tied. Alert, you struggle harder, looking at your surroundings. Your gun and mic are both gone, leaving you defenseless.
Your heart leaps, and you try to find something that can help you escape. Maybe a piece of glass, or anything sharp to cut these ropes.
“So,” a voice breathes, and your blood runs cold. “You found us.”
“J-Junmyeon?” You ask, recognizing the voice immediately. Your head snaps up, watching his familiar form emerge from the dark shadows. There’s a devilish smile on his face you’ve never seen before.
“Hey.” He greets casually. He moves towards you, footsteps clicking off the floor loudly, clearly. He grabs your cheeks, leaning down and giving you a look of mock pity while clicking his tongue. “I told you to stop researching. If you had stopped, I wouldn’t have to do this.”
“I-I don’t understand.” You stammer, heart ramming against your ribs. “Junmyeon?”
“Suho.” He corrects. “My name is Suho, and I am part of EXO.” His grin only grows at your shocked expression, realization dawning on you.
“No wonder,” you whisper, “no wonder why the police could never find enough evidence to arrest EXO. It was you!”
He laughs, his voice ringing out and bringing chills down your back. “Yes, you’re right. I was the one who helped cover EXO’s tracks.”
You growl, struggling harder in your binds. “How could you? I trusted you! I’m going to arrest you for your crimes!”
Junmyeon laughs heartily, holding his stomach. “You? You won’t even be able to step out of this place if I don’t allow it. What do you think you can do? Besides,” he leans in, eyes calm and cold, “I have lots of connections. How do you think we were able to stay unharmed for so long? It wouldn’t be hard to get rid of you. And what if you report me? Do you think anyone would believe you when you have no evidence?”
You tremble, glaring at him with all your might because—he’s right. You have no evidence. He has all the cards in his hands and you have nothing.
You’ve lost.
He sighs, shaking his head. “Seeing as we’ve been partners for so long, see this as a warning. Don’t go poking around about EXO ever again, or it won’t be just a warning next time.” He traces a finger down your cheek. “Wouldn’t want to ruin this pretty face of yours, now would we?”
“Why?” You manage to spit out. “Why did Sehun set her house on fire? What did he want?”
“The Love Shot.” He answers. “We wanted it, so we took it.”
Your eyes widen in disbelief. “That illegal alcohol? All this for just that?”
He shrugs indifferently. “It’s fun.”
“You’re resigning?” The chief asks in surprise. “But you’re one of the best officers we have.”
“Yes, sir.” You answer, looking down. “I…I always wanted to stop crime and bring justice, but…not everything is as easy as I thought. I-I’m not suited to be a police officer. I’m sorry.”
The chief sighs, shaking his head. “Are you sure you don’t want more time to think about it? I can hold onto the letter for a while.”
You shake your head. “No, I’ve already made up my mind. I’m going to resign.”
He nods sadly. “Well, that’s too bad. I wish you luck in whatever you do next.”
You manage to smile at him. “Thank you, sir.”
You exit his office heading down the hallway with a heavy heart. You just gave up your dream, but to continue as a police officer when you know EXO is working here as well…you just can’t.
You stop when you see a form up ahead. Junmyeon—Suho leans against the wall casually, a teasing smile on his face.
“You made the right choice.” He murmurs, his voice bringing you waves of rage, and you clench your fists.
“You won’t get away forever.” You hiss. “One day you’ll definitely fall, and fall hard.”
Suho merely laughs. “I can’t wait.”
