Live 1-3 cash game hand

Okay so this particular hand was from a 9 handed cash game at my local casino. Stakes are 1-3 with a $300 max buy in.

There are 3 villains in the hand, I have been playing with all of them for several hours. V1 has been super super loose, literally playing almost 100% of his hands. He straddles UTG and on the BUT just about every orbit. He is relatively passive until he has a piece or a draw, then he will play super aggro, however when he whiffs the flop he hasn't really seemed to bluff at all, so you can say that his play has been pretty straight forward . V2 is a super NIT, the guy is playing less than 10% of his hands, seems to be coming in only when he has big pocket pairs and big broadways. V3 is a guy in his 50s who is playing a somewhat straight forward TAG style.

The hand starts with V1 in the UTG straddle for $10, he is shortstacked, with an additional $90 behind. V2 is in MP1, also short stacked at around $120 behind, it folds to him and he min raises to $20. V3 is on the BUT and is the only player that has a reasonable stack at about $400, he flats the raise. I am in the BB with K♥ Q♥, I cover all villains with about $500 behind. I flat and so does V1. We go four to a flop:

FLOP: 9♥ 8♥ 5♠
POT: 80

I check, V1 shoves for his remaining $70, then V2 shoves for his remaining $100. At this point I planning on calling, however the tough decision comes when V3 flats. Sure, it increase my immediate pot odds to about 4.5:1 though I feel like as soon as V3 flats, my reverse implied odds go way WAY up.

V1 can have any piece, not too worried about him. V2 most likely holds a big overpair. V3 is my biggest concern. He doesn't have a set or two pair, I don't think, as he would probably come over the top, given the draw heavy board. His flat looks very much like draw. Though how many straight draws does he really end up with here? He is a pretty TAGish, I don't think he is calling the super NIT's preflop raise with 67 or lower so that really leaves just JT as a possibility. So that means we have a lot of flush draws in his range, and out of those flush draws I think a huge majority are nut flush draws.

Do you call and see a turn given the great odds? Do you go over the top in an attempt to drive V3 out of the hand? Do you fold because you only have King high and your draw may be dead before you even put your money in?
