As fit and healthy as a lot of us can be, climbing up the stairs was tiresome just after three flights. As soon as we reached the fifth floor, we stopped to take a breather. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12XzU7le9c

"Who am I kidding?" said Zoey as she leaned upon the stair rail. "I’m so tired." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdrTSyz8OQ

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAbr0Xe9VP

"Do we really have to go all the way to the manager’s office?" Jisoo asked. "Wasn’t Lee making her way down when we called her?" 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHCdQXarFU
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDIQHimsbu
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wvwATLgIC
"She was," I answered. "If you ask me, we can start looking on this floor, or we can split." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl7sSejcJQ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA1P7CGLaB
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSedwKKT2Y
"I say we stick together," said Seunghoon. "I’ve a feeling taking Johnny down will need some team effort." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbb0Xo9Y5B
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaORSRMApg
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGs5apSTJ9
"Spoken like you’re leading the SWAT team," Mino teased. "Splitting up might be easier, but we’re only a few of us, so we need to stick together." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhLlloN89x
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkebbaE1Kes
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ckyM9vn3D
"That’s fine," I said. "I really wish we knew where she could be." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkgLXdFoFI
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuXiv0wmj5
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfPowblO0C
We heard footsteps coming from upstairs. We looked at each other before darting down the hall, to hide round a corner. Seunghoon who was close, took a peek. The footsteps grew louder. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYSiJylQLN
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6W7epQvC7
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPitZiIzj8
"Can it be Johnny?" Zoey asked. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ku1fja0h
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1RrWXnFyA
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ86viTcgF
"I doubt it," Mino whispered who leaned against the wall next to her. "That sounds like a lot of steps." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMPqxZLCgL
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mh8pXTyX0
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFTklHrtMo

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hWIxowb7U
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai8oYLvoTV
We all became silent, and a lot of us held our breaths. The sound of footsteps became heavier. We could tell it’s the security guards. We were lucky they didn’t stop on the floor we are on as they continued down the stairs. As the sound of their footsteps grew fainter, we slowly started to relax. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjmbeCsouL
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGc0d71wRk
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CFQLd2AnJ

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6IrzSv9sz
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DnRF5noGg

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMggJEyCSNa
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQIJx8qHv6
"Even if we do, and Johnny does have her, he'll know we’re coming for him," said Mino. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5C9Zdx1TL

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcnii54Z3Q
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsEQRXuDlF
"I think we call anyway," said Zoey. "He obviously knows that the only way to draw us out is if he has Lee." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WZLyyY1Oo
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdSSxo0Wvs
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKWDFFQQBx

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ylpHM87kK
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qrLtE4Ndk
"Well, he would've called first if he wanted to draw us out," I said as I held my phone in my hand. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMQ3cZYdkH
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPFjmtDC2i
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KsiIEhlxO

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5xf9yLGux
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd4lLJxGiv
I put my phone back in the pocket. "We just have to look for her the old-fashioned way," I answered. "If we do call, he'll be expecting us and who knows what he might do." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmonkXGAW9P
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5AgFkjG58
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrITl4n7D9

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEuq1NNnvw
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm32kPM10Ek

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSRB9J7Mh8
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraBcLdpnCU

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfZcFZy1aW
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfZVyEUZrX

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJFr0npzq8
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6crXcQB91O
"What’s on this floor anyway?" I couldn't help but ask as I felt like the place is pretty much empty. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWCYarHhC5
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdp1ROvqic
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNaWCObjt7
"There are rooms that were once used for practice till they moved them downstairs. They plan to renovate and make offices here," said Mino. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwY6bdG2GG
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTsBaMmxif
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5fF9gFMaQ
"Is this the only floor where renovations are taking place?" I stood in the middle of the hall to take a good look beyond. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQJ9XoHoqC
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SPOhtqIW7

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3NCmVVhN8
"This feels like the perfect place for Johnny to keep Lee. The place is quiet, and it’s the only place where there’s nobody around." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjoEYDDxM1
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvee10C9dn
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh464J7Pj9
"Well, the bodyguards should’ve thought of that before bypassing this floor," said Zoey. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBPOauzk0T
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLygzTfLbU
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl3baTGq7O
"Maybe they did, and they couldn’t find anything to convince them that someone could be hiding here," said Jisoo. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV1nMM8Ucb
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSMOhXmwo7
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7yGysc1Dr
"Well, let's see if we can find something," said Seunghoon. "But the rooms should be empty." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8rmvl7GrS
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xhVtrm5Eg
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UtNvaKqVA
As we were about to make our way down the hall, I stopped. I hear something. Mino who went ahead of me, noticed and stopped also. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaV3fFlKqq
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FNOKGnpml
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcZarTUFaD
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWRGExlEQ7
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qfU3EvY1W
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7z1RKjNSr
"Everyone, hide," I said quietly. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbNBcieGss
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVp4IujzvX
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYTkEpif3s
"What? Why?" Zoey asked, turning to look at me. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TO03nMVOI
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZKY49mZIY
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPowobDxWL
"Someone’s coming," I answered. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m3RB2mu9i
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghUWZgHdU2
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yWz2kL9ei
We all paused. We could hear footsteps coming up the stairs. Likewise, we tiptoed quietly down to the first door down the hall. Seunghoon who is the first to reach it, opened the door and in a line, we all entered the dark room. The place smelt of dust and the air is stuffy. The windows haven’t been open for a while. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUV9PzkjTo
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV8RoypZFq
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDEKbJCKT3
Seunghoon is the last to enter and closes the door behind him. We’re almost in the dark, but light came in through the translucent glass window on the door. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLylE9nxc0
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFTTdNBIvt
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt5EoPZmOy
"Can we turn on the lights?" Jisoo asked in a whisper. "It’s dark in here." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vbIIVNevD
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmQGyUPgwe
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jwwxGOTCi
"We can’t," said Seunghoon. "There’s a translucent glass window on the door. If we turn on the lights, the person down the hall will tell someone is in here." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxNUsxYYWS
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7swftkLDh
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIDcNmzOhs
"Ssh," said Mino. "Do you hear that? The person is coming." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6be6uaVtI
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5K8odSJiG
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpclFgjawt
We all kept quiet. Who could it be? Could it be Johnny? What if it’s one of the guards? If it’s the latter, we'll be in big trouble and will be escorted back to the studio. If it’s Johnny, we need to be careful. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGkeDep1bt
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmBTx3JrDL
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehY93fqcr8
Seunghoon slowly opened the door so as not to make a sound. The rest of us stood there, waiting for confirmation if the person out there is a threat. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjmFv1zO66
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpfUrrRtGJ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkeRrCZjs1
We hear footsteps come closer, and I see the person through the glass, bypassing the door. I turn to look at Seunghoon to see any reaction on his face. Before I ask, he already made a move by drawing the door wide open and stepping into the hall. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGGyONJ7jV
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDzcFeF9Ic
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZyTSC5HNX

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnUi67u2ad
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP2Npp8LDx

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeIoXt0oss
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4AyK6C6mj

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPl2Y7EzDU
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hoM8MUjKT

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYShCaHauZq
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oui7XxGyu

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6uDuH3hLl
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rr9dfhdZV
Mino, Zoey and I also stepped out of the room. G-Dragon stood there in a red fresh paint jacket with a black jumpsuit and a white shirt on. He’s just as surprised to see us. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pdp89eWOd
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm4qVYAPKX

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRccMbwLqB
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIi5xJdssC
"Well, to answer your first question, we’re out here trying to look for Johnny," said Zoey, folding her arms. "For the second one, we finished recording the song." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTkQmbFkRh
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AUAt0DgIi
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsmgQ4LxhK

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXAyVZj8Rz
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlHoCOw2ox

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPh0Cei6QP
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDei0AQdWc
"We think Johnny has Lee," I added. "She never came back to the studio. When we called, she said she ran into him, and she sounded like she was running away." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOylhOacK7
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX2MVfKUJK
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPYu1xDehz

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtGua4ISc5
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9GhsbpgvC
"Really?" Zoey asked, raising an eyebrow. "How can we be so sure that you're looking for him?" 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhspoUpspa5
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyyG4BWwgw
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArbQHykkzT
G-Dragon and so did the rest of us turn to look at her, wondering why she could ask such a question. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmGgVT9U42
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5dHnqnrtE
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61gd9YmabX
"Don’t get me wrong, guys," said Zoey as she noticed the looks, "but didn’t GD bring Johnny here in the first place? So how can we tell you aren’t just going to lead us into a trap?" 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJfnSFn82n
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOsL0J1RRg
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXsopOOeDA

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouDsSSEYot
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2b302yQZ5
"Zoey, enough," I intervened. "Telling him that we told him so right now isn’t going to help us find Lee." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFuZdPgZTs

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBJS8Mb6F1
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu43IrIMGSu

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hrqUZysUM
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB0YdS0j6o
"Zoey, calm down," said Mino as he came and held her shoulders. "GD never knew Johnny would take things too far. We should listen to Sam and find Lee first." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNleaVOMBtx
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfVKow4inE
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2Uf2zcWZj
"Fine," said Zoey. "But after we find Lee and Johnny should at least be arrested, I’ll make sure to claw your face out, GD." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmdaPetV4W
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakCbwPKeGR
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG0OBZzsFR

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59b1peclS0
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tSA0TNTRf

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pjyxh29X4
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPD55xpgR4

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXGrjs859y
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wf0r6axDx
"No, he hasn’t," he answered. "I tried calling him a few times, and he hasn’t replied. I thought of looking for him, but it's been difficult since the guards don’t want anyone wandering around. I managed to get away as I was held in the lobby. Likewise, I thought of coming to this floor, since the rooms aren’t being used." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WlZnlHIAs
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cE3dSyeum
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcndXX0lYl

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLCdXjkVr0
"Well, they’re definitely not in this one," said Zoey as she looked at the door of the room we were hiding in. She started her way down the hall, bypassing G-Dragon. I noticed the look she gave him. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqh06u2l7D

GD and I join the search. Seunghoon and Jisoo had already entered one room. We approached the open door, and the lights were on. There isn’t much in the room. There were a few things lying around and furniture that had been covered with white cloths to prevent the dust settling on it. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtoDyFiXlo
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS3Nfe8hHw
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtzkcYEcpd
GD went ahead, and I followed him to the next room where there’s Mino and Zoey. There were boxes and furniture covered in cloths all around. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbCyZWrH1o

GD went on ahead, opened the door and turned the lights on. He stood there as he looked, and I joined him. There’s nothing much to see with only two carton boxes and pieces of paper on the floor. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmEMPjuTtV
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eZAougReU
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjFsenajUZ
"Nothing, here," he said as he slowly started to close the door. Then I caught a glimpse of something through the corner of my eye. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniAvvkd5ct

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZAEtZqdST
"Hey, wait," I said as I also held the door to stop GD from closing it. I draw it wide open and look inside the room. My attention is drawn towards the two large carton boxes. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhBI8Qh8ED

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwAKfNWMSz
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fgyYl3aPp
The box did move. My eyes widened, and I turn to look at GD, whose mouth is agape. He saw it too. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYxroEyZav

Before I could go any further, I felt G-Dragon take hold of my hand. I stop and turn to look at him. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCvpqyVkMl

I nodded. I turn towards the box in the room and the both of us slowly approach it. We pause at the same time when the box moved again. We continue our approach and as soon as we’re close, I lean forward and find that the top of the box is covered. The box gently shook again. I draw out my hand to uncover the box but G-Dragon is quick to grab it to stop me from doing so. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ3XKcUcBY

A soft little ‘meow’ came from inside the box. I gave a mocking look at G-Dragon, and he scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. I went on to open the box and inside it is a small, black, furry kitten. It looked up at us with its cute, sparkling green eyes and meowed again. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKrFsy282G

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tr6FKlJ9c
I bent over to get it out of the box. At first, it backed away into a corner and I knew I had to let it trust me first. I gently let my palm touch the top of its head and started to pet it. Soon enough, it purred and rubbed its ears around my hand. I soon brought in my other hand and lifted it out of the box. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLmpfHUk1b

"Hey, guys, have you found….?" Jisoo appeared through the door and as soon as she saw the kitten in my hands, she got excited and quickly came towards us. Mino also came in and had a confused look, wondering why Jisoo reacted that way. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWnID46J6R
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUfpDWWb6h

I gave Zoey the kitten, and it didn’t resist. Zoey and Jisoo continued to admire it as the kitten looked back at them, unaware of the attention it’s gained. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHuPXlmKOl

The four of us with the kitten in my arms left the room and continued our search. We looked in every room and no luck so far. We are left to search on the other side of the floor. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpb7OYma3W

We made a turn going to the left and Seunghoon who led the way, stopped in his tracks. Even when I'm not close to him, I could tell his body has grown tense. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQGK1PGqbe

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g5sLSbven
"Goodness," said the guard as he scratched his head. "I was coming down the stairs with her. I told her to go back to the studio on her own since the other guards had called for me. As I was climbing up, Johnny appeared on one of the floors and ran past me. I tried to stop him, but then I lost my footing and fell a couple of stairs. I'm afraid I might have twisted my ankle. Likewise, I told Lee to run as soon as Johnny showed up." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ttN0V5p37

"We found Johnny above the stairs on our way down," said the guard. "He might have chased her up to this floor, I’m not so sure. But I couldn't move quickly because of my twisted ankle." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW6ngB1LLc

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKuL2KAqjL
"No, but if someone like Johnny wants to go around unnoticed between floors, that stairway is the best way. They are usually locked and only opened during emergencies. There’s a storeroom in the underground basement. He might be hiding there." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg2dBv7ab4

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7cUrDFaQe
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpQO9WYbKB
"He shouldn’t know that we’re out here looking for him." I answered. "GD, quick, answer it." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBhxF96AN0
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdDJhkuyzf
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6jkVFImCB
GD slid the call button to the right and put the phone to his ear. "Johnny, hey? Where are you?" he asked. "I’ve been waiting in the lobby." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwQMPJqYQ6
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzys0rkOZf
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDPPRX3CZJ
We could Johnny loud and clear as he responded: "I’m in the underground basement. I thought I would join you in the car park outside." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7tOnD1Pl2
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQDrrX86D2

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0a09fczPl
Zoey rolled her eyes and I prayed she wasn’t going to mutter out something stupid, but she didn’t. I wish I could blow out a sigh of relief, but that will only draw Johnny’s attention. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ESVN3SHS
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStv5rnHj4s
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xQ1o6IeLK
"Are you still down there?" GD asked. "I can come join you, and we can walk to the car park outside. That’s if the guards will allow us to pass through." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSyoLYW3XE
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NGB9FWcTi

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwI1uBggRW
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1jNvlGRx3

Zoey turned towards the emergency exit door and drew it open. She made her way first down the stairs with Jisoo and me following behind her. Mino and G-Dragon were last, with G-Dragon closing the door behind him. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fCPsR9jfn
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDkinCuRyQ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7HliGdj6V
We make our way down the stairs, and we were much quicker this time. Before we reached the ground floor, I stopped everyone. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHSK4YJkUD
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky3Fhx926N
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfSJI2fo5l

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsltGV7bsVJ

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9378qGRcNS
"I’ve been down there a lot, so we can try to move around while G-Dragon keeps Johnny distracted," said Mino. "If we do find Lee, we can help her." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxAQf83wfb
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqsF7mLM2G
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhqrvpLIVb

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmslFOqyH7X
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cXCi5Qrl1

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm5dtWMjgk
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnRsBKpblZ

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZBxJnUbvz
We all turned to look at her, and she had her arms folded with her nose high up in the air. Oh, boy. I think I know what this is about. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaeKH2j0wp
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyeVZuXoh6
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVq79jKmsr

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm6oNvEsdM
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEsyhzeM35
If I were Jisoo, I wouldn’t have asked that question. But she doesn’t know Zoey like I do, so she better prepare to get her mind blown. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiazD3QurmH
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRRE2l9kWc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvqGBABmqh

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XhVxFuW7A
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGk8pmKnIz
Jisoo looked at Zoey, dumbfounded. I turned to look at Mino and GD who like me, didn’t seem the least bit surprised. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiJc5cmGnc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtldwwg3iVq

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q8Jns2Jui
"I know we said if Johnny does annoy us, especially with the album, we would then teach him a lesson," I said. "But right now, we need to find Lee. Dealing with Johnny will have to come later." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiDpQqMvzT
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jYVTbnsmZ

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9C3ZYaowR
Zoey sucked on her teeth and continued to lead the way down the stairs. I really need to keep an eye on her. She might have agreed not to do anything, but that’s Zoey. A moment later, she’ll find herself doing what she intended to do, and I’ll be left to deal with her mess. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtWi0w30S7
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZtfz3Rh2J
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn0mfFYdNK
We are now in the basement and before Zoey could open the door. GD stepped forward. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdegYzU6gg0
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCnQ6t6DHz
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhj2eN4xB3

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR8J0HVq0y
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXH0CmmEQm
Zoey gave him a nod of her head showing that she understood. She stood aside and GD went to open the door. He did it slowly to look around before fully stepping out. He turned to us standing by the door. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe3SFDKT4o
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgmjU28609
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzxlHBKIeN
"Don’t come out until the coast is clear," he whispered to us. He looked over at Mino. "You come over by the door and keep a look-out. You know where the storeroom is." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQtD6OGCvG
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZGQdQIX7p
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeGPlnZ8Qg
Mino gave a nod and went to stand by the door. G-Dagon soon walked away, leaving the door slightly ajar. Mino closed it for a bit so as not to be seen, but left a good amount of space for him to take a peek. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ6DcfqSW0

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtnNUZPNXE
GD walked away from the door and made his way towards the cars packed on the other side. He looked around and there seems to be no sign of Johnny. He thought of going round to the exit when he heard Johnny's voice behind him. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfQF3gkIAb

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1OvPPjQDq
G-Dragon turned and found Johnny coming from behind one of the pillars. He had a smile on his face like nothing is going on and GD felt his insides turn. What did he get himself into? 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmToygkXRc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW80QKub1H
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP5zdkr8oL

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMZN1Vp0Be
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzTWxhaPIc

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBzT0PJdGx
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJw0li8Qqo

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQdwX9HWZL
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoEa8BQ8HT

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV1GpWnQEC
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mw4xO3x9l

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIXlTr23fj
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqly8dGZnW
"Wow, things must be hectic, huh? You’re right, we better get going. I also wanted to see The Toxins, but looks like we’ll have to do that at another time." 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTzGi2gZef
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFeiTzbbOj
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqcV8pczNi

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtuTsMq60x
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjgdTU0Ogu
Mino had seen Johnny as soon as he called out to GD. With the pillars and the cars in his sight of vision, it was hard to see them clearly, but he could tell they were walking towards the exit. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVmnm6gplc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrB7ZEse3W
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk2ISq4dOT

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenKU8yTyqd
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQGR8yi0R4

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0mKVEMxQP
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeD2pLLVO3

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDlCEKuiHj
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWShc5fpbs
Mino looked around first. He signalled with his hand to the others to follow. He walked out. Zoey and Sam followed, then Jisoo. Good thing about the place is that they could easily use the parked cars for cover. They walked up the curb with the cars facing them and bending over so as not to be seen. They were just about to reach the door of the basement when Jisoo suddenly fell on her knees. The rest stopped advancing and looked at their fallen comrade. GD and Johnny on the other side stopped walking too. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMicPJAp4R
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeWPYJFqp7
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hmeum92HK
"What was that?" Johnny asked, looking behind him. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCCIBRKMDT
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PEuiNNsBw
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjMo22LSVe

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL7ufoBQBP
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7pmQsoyv4

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicA2Fr03wj
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvfg0NX4Yf

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWUPVqEuwc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuQs61C0HD

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtp8IlZqIg
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWowuQBoNok

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTVL77G1Gc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDtenDcTqc
With Sam helping her up, but careful enough not to stand upright, she and Jisoo started to make their way to the others. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBD5z03nSO
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8ihtlh7jJ
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXAHh4FqhO

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVokIrOr5h
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLqGnXaCQI
Shoot, GD said to himself. He has to stop Johnny before he spots the others. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TPQOnOO7T
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T7JEYOMOm
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnuCobsPhd
"Come on, it’s probably nothing," said GD as he turned to watch Johnny slowly walk away. "What? Do you think there’s someone ready to jump us?" 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilpbD03o6F
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRZGynaLqK
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKMP98HxPG

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVScoIj7ZS
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAFfdutEmh
Sam and Jisoo managed to get to the others, and they quickly made their way to the door. Johnny was close and almost got to the storeroom, but he stopped. GD came up right behind him and prayed that Johnny won't spot them. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb2rurFb7X
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GEEPe5atc
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX9BuTrKZb

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKhei0SlrT
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffBBwDyVcs

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8sN73zkph
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJw0WExaif
Just before the storeroom is a parked blue Sedan. That’s where Mino and the rest hid, hoping that Johnny wasn’t going to reach the car. If he did, he was definitely going to find them. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJZdOPS5p
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1reIhUGzS3
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXt89vNQXM
Mino bent his head to look round the corner of the car’s rear. GD and Johnny were going for the exit now. And he thought it best that they leave for good. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92nCqrd46u

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX6IyhnNJX
They continued to sit there on the gravel while Mino bent his head now and then to check. Finally, he saw GD and Johnny walk through the exit. 395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCaK5sURFS
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99hp1LsZSe
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9u2eegcj5
