Smuggling [UK + NK]

[arthur]

Arthur stepped out of his car in the early morning, sucking in a breath of the crisp air of his docks. He crossed the harbor, whistling softly, before slowing to a halt at the soldiers surrounding the HMS Victoria.

"Gentlemen, I'm afraid you're surrounding Kirkland property. Please state a logical reason for being here or kindly leave the area. I have business to attend to here, and don't like being held up."

[Hyung Soo Im]

Hyung Soo ordered the various men around as they scrambled onto the ship. Of course his superiors decided to give him a fresh batch of men right now of all times. It wasn’t like he was given the job of investigating a major corporation’s boat for a drug bust or anything.
With a frustrated sigh he looked at his men who tried to make order of themselves.
“Sir?” Hyung Soo glanced to his left, to a man who was just below him in years, “Should we…check the upper decks first sir?”
Of course he wanted to snarkily remark that no, copious amounts of heroin would not be hidden in the various ropes, but instead held his tongue.
Nobody liked to be talked down to.
And that wasn’t the way to earn their respect.
With a sigh he shook his head.
“Check the lower decks. Then the upper.”
“Yes sir-“

The conversation was interrupted by a rather angry British man who Hyung Soo was not looking forward to meeting.
This wasn’t exactly the best way for him to become acquainted with the famous Kirkland family.
“Good afternoon Mr. Kirkland. The military has been informed that your ship here may be smuggling a large amount of illegal products from a certain individual who is currently under investigation in Thailand. We need to search through your ship in order to confirm whether or not this tip has any weight to it. Here is our warrant.” He handed the man the slip of paper, signed by the various military officials. He nodded to the man, “My name is Hyung Soo Im and I am in charge of the search. If you have any questions please let me know, however it is advised that you remain off the ship for the time being as we conduct our investigation.”

Arthur examined the warrant, a deep scowl crossing his face as he examined him. ". . . What sort of illegal products? I'm afraid that I do do intercontinental trading, and what may be legal in one country and not legal here might be sitting aboard. I'm going to need to know what you're looking for before I permit any of you onto my vessel." He folded the warrant and stood up straight, offering the paper back to the military man.

"I'm Arthur Kirkland, as you know." Arthur decided to be polite and save himself a headache. "Do have your men be careful, these ships are very delicate." He dug through his pockets and produced a key ring. "The blue opens the navigational quarters, the green opens the sleeping quarters, the red, the mess hall, and the gold, grey, and violet all open the different levels of containment."

[Hyung Soo Im]

With a sigh of relief the Korean took the key card and handed it off to one of his men.
So Kirkland is going to be civil about this? Good. He had heard what kind of temper the other could have (and was warned not to bring cooking into the conversation, for whatever reason…
Or the French)

With a quick nod towards the ship Hyung Soo gazed at the other.
“Well, if you want the honest truth Mr. Kirkland, we were told there would be a large sum of drugs on your ship. Heroin, so be precise,” with a pause he straightened his back, “And by large amount sir, I mean more than I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.” With that lovely explanation out of the way he looked back to his ship, where his men should have been slowly filing on board in order to conduct the search.
Should have been.
Instead, most were standing around like idiots.

With a glare Hyung Soo nodded towards Mr. Kirkland before walking briskly up to the soldiers, who were practically twiddling their thumbs.
“Do you have any questions?”
“Uh, yes sir, what exactly should we be doing?” With a slight shock Hyung cursed and lowered his voice, so as Arthur wouldn’t hear.
“What do you mean what should we be doing?”
“Well, we’ve never done this before sir.” Hyung quickly gathered them together and gave them all a very well defined look.
“Weren’t you told anything during the meeting?”
“The meeting was during lunch so-“
“You skipped recon? You skipped the information-“
“Skipped isn’t really the word I would use sir-“
“Oh you have got to be fuc-“ Hyung quickly turned to Arthur and tried his best to give a reassuring smile, hoping the other wouldn’t catch onto the situation.
