“Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please.” ( from the black knight :D )

" there he goes with the advice again . . . " sullen, wearing the disappointed pout of a child with it's toys taken away. oh, maybe he'd misjudged the Knight, when he decided the man would be an amusing yarn to bat at with his paws; the man never responded well to Taiyang's little jokes, did he? " 'no fire', he says... 'don't cut anyone, Taiyang; it's mean.' I bet you won't even give me a kiss if I do a good job. no fun at all... " Taiyang withdraws the picks he used to unlock the Facilities' back door, placing the instrument in his mouth while he used both hands to push against the heavy door. it popped open, unlocked, making a satisfying click sound as it did. and just as expected, a blaringly loud alarm went off, screeching through the air: drawing every guard to Patrick and Tai's location. although it might look like this was an unfortunate oversight from the pair, it was actually EXACTLY as planned: while Patrick and Tai incapacitated and distracted, one of Patrick's allies would have the freedom to roam around in the building: to retrieve whatever it was that Patrick was looking for, in there . . . recklessly, Tai tossed the DNA-laden lockpick in the grass that surrounded the plain, rundown building. " — you'd be the worst partner-in-crime I've ever seen. " granted, Taiyang's interview process for that ( TEMPORARILY ) open job position as his crime-counterpart could be summed up in one question only: are you Quinn? and if the answer was anything short of a verifiable 'yes', they'd already failed. no-one could replace her. the room in front of them filled with smoke; as a smoke bomb was tossed into the building by Taiyang, obscuring the vision of the approaching mob of armed defenders. he always worked better in the dark. he pulled a black mask over his mouth, unruffled in the final moments before pure chaos erupted on the battleground; " but fine. have it your way. just remember: I help you, you help me. that's the deal; no take backs. " and if Team Checkmate's information could truly exonerate Quinn, he'd do anything to get his hands on it. even step into this DEATH trap of a laboratory. ( because his motivation was sacred to him; someone he'd die for, suffer any fate just to see her happy . . . but Taiyang can't yet venture a guess what the BLACK KNIGHT cares about enough in this world; what the HELL could be in this laboratory that was worth dying for, for Myungdae . . . ? )
