Changbin froze the guards as soon as Felix teleported them into the room. There had been three on duty, but now they were at a standstill, eyes widened in surprise. Without any words having to be said, they each set out to do what needed to be done. Woojin was taking the guard's uniform off of the man most similar to his size, Felix got to work restraining them before they could unfreeze, Seungmin opened the door to the security room a crack to check if there were any more guards standing outside, and Changbin got comfy in the desk chair where a guard had previously been sitting, looking for the port to plug the USB in.

Once he located it and inserted it, he immediately used his coms to tell Chan.

"Good, good. The live feeds are showing up on my laptop," everyone heard Chan through their earbuds. "The cameras should go on a loop... Now! Woojin and Seungmin, your good to go."

"Got it leader Bang," Seungmin said with a little smirk as he slowly opened the door all the way. Woojin, who was now dressed in the stolen uniform, quickly followed him out the door, knowing that he should be the one leading since he was the fake guard. They could hear Felix whisper a quiet "good luck" as the door to the security room shut.

The two of them didn't have a hard time making their way around the prison since Woojin had gotten a good understanding of the prison's layout beforehand. He was also just very good at navigating since that particular skill is what many animals count on for survival in the wild. They managed to avoid most people, running into only two guards who only gave them a quick bow and continued on with their work. 'Chan's plan is working.' Woojin thought, unsurprised.

It wasn't long before they finally made it to two doors with the numbers 903 and 905 displayed on them. These were the cells Chan had said Hyunjin and Minho were. The doors were made of thick metal and had no way to see through them except a slit at about eye level that could be opened and closed to view inside the cell.

Woojin first opened the slit to room 905 and peered in. He made eye contact with Hyunjin, the younger giving a little grin at seeing the familiar face then standing up and waiting for his friends to open his cell door. Seungmin put his hand over the door handle and soon after, they all heard a click. He opened the door and Hyunjin stepped out.

"We have a little change of plans. Turns out there are two other kids that Minho used to run with here as well. He had thought they got away from during the BTS raid, but apparently they didn't," Hyunjin explained quickly to them as they moved to cell 903. Woojin gave Hyunjin a glance that the younger was all too familiar with. "Don't worry, we got their cell numbers from them when we were telling them about the plan. I've learned to think ahead," the tall boy reassured his hyung.

"Uh, guys. We have a problem." As Woojin and Hyunjin had been talking, Seungmin had managed to get Minho's cell door open. Only, Minho wasn't in his cell.

"What the hell? I saw him go in there with my own two eyes," Hyujin said, confused.

"You sure you didn't hear anyone come and get him?"

"Um, I thought I had heard movement in the halls about 10 minutes before you showed up, but I thought it was you guys at first. When no one opened my door, I just assumed it had been a guard passing by."

"Shit. This is going to be a problem," Seungmin cursed.

At the same time, Woojin tried to turn on his coms and tell Chan about their situation, but all he heard was static. "The coms aren't working, either. We might be too deep into the prison for the signal to go through. The walls are pretty dense. I say we go ahead and get everyone else out now, head back to the security room where we know the coms work, let Felix teleport the Gifteds we are rescuing out, and then see what Chan wants to do about Minho. He does have eyes on us right now at least, even if he can't talk to us," reasoned the oldest as he pointed to the camera in the hallway.
