Hyolin sat patiently in the front of her new black range rover. She had been wearing all black clothing's with dark glasses and a hat , a big contrast to her normally bright and vibrant choice of clothing's.

She had done so , so she could come unnoticed , just being within the premises of her husband's place meant that there would surely be someone or staff who could possibly recognize her , and that was the last thing that she wanted to happen.

Having come all the way to see the man that had been recently causing her husband and her best friends' uneasiness by secret , she did not want to be found out.

She had parked at a good spot, not in the usual reserved area for employees and family but in the public area for visiting guests. She had left her car in a spot that allowed her to have a clear view of the main building's glass entrance whilst also allowing her to not be the first car in sight.

She huffed out as she sucked on a cherry lollipop, a threat that she would have normally given to her kids if they were there, but they weren't. She had left them with their grandma for the day just in case her little secret mission would turn out to take longer than intended.

'Sungjae should be out here any moment' she thought to herself, knowing that the man usually commuted out to the gym around 12:30 lunch time.

It was now 12:25.

Hyolin was just about to space out lost in her thoughts when she saw the lean figure of Sungjae coming out of the glass doors.

She immediately sat up ready to jump out of her car and join him as he approached his car… when she noticed 2 unknown figures who had just come down a big tinted vehicle.

She noticed that the 2 unknown figures who had just come down a big tinted vehicle bowed to him before they made him get into the car.

Hyolin blinked , temporarily stunned at the scene in front of her. As the car drove off her first instinct was to follow suit, letting the engines come alive as she hastily sped up to meet up with them, so she did not lose them.

She was not sure yet about the situation, she had never seen the two before , and had never seen him get accompanied by others in a private vehicle , if he did it was only with selected clients according to her knowledge of the man. But most importantly Caleb would be there too, so the fact that her husband was not with them clearly indicated that the "escorting" was not a business one.

Then could it be that the young Korean American was in trouble?

But he didn't struggle, Hyolin thought back to his expression when the two had ...respectfully? bowed to him.

It was neutral, it was in a way... familiar?

Hyolin shook her rambling thoughts away, she had to focus on diving.

It could be that they were there to drop him off at the gym maybe.

But as Hyolin noticed the sign boards as she passed by them. She noticed that they were heading outside the city.

Hyolin hesitated should she abort the mission and try again next time?

Maybe it would be better if she spoke to her best friend first, no?

But just as if something had possessed her body, Hyolin could not stop; she found herself following suit, with every turn and every change of directory.

The thing was Hyolin had never had to follow or rather chase after someone before. Especially not whilst driving so ,it was not a surprise that she underestimated the distance she would have to put between herself and the car she was following as in a sudden manner the large SUV in front of her braked causing her to close her eyes in fright as she also had the breaking pedal, just as you would in an emergency stop.

Hyolin's heartbeat was beating fast, she slowly and hesitantly she opened her eyes, scanning her surroundings as she tried to figure out if Sungjae and his apparent crew had noticed.

The car was right in front of her, there was no movement indication of anyone being inside, not that she could see inside given how tinted it was.

to her stupor and confusion, she had realized that they had ended up in some sort of old alleyway looking road, it was still bright at but the area here was dark and gloomy , the floor damp as if it had just stopped raining.

As Hyolin peered from her steering wheel, she felt a chilling feeling under her spine.

She suddenly got the urge to escape, fidgeting with her car keys she struggled to ignite the car on, just as she was about to put on the locks just for safety measure when the two doors on the front door of her car were suddenly pulled open.

Hyolin opened her mouth to scream in shock when a cloth was put over her face.

Hyolin struggled with the grips of the 4 arms that were attempting to keep her down.

She used all of her strength, shaking in an attempt to get the methylated piece of clothing out of her face.

But the combined weight of the two strangers was too much for her, with few last struggling attempts her body finally went limp as her consciousness was finally cut out.

******* Whilst on the other side

"-Boss, we have a car following us "

Sungjae calmly replied without any sort of worry

"-carry on to our scheduled destination"

"- But Sir... the car looks suspicious "

Sungjae glared at the man through the rear mirror

"-Are you the one calling the shot? Do you want to take my position too?" he asked snarling at the now trembling "-do you not cherish your life" he finally added his voice getting thick and low, his eyes squinting dangerously

"-N-no sir, I'm sorry sir I didn't mean it "

Sungjae gave the man one last look before taking a deep breath, ultimately getting back his composure and his serene demeanour.

Sungjae took out his phone, dialling a number.

the phone rang once before the line connected.

"-Sir" a deep voice said

"-prepare the boys , we have a little sparrow to extradite"
