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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHYuXw7dJ9

"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?" 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgc3NNwEBK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihLMPjuO9f
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vbCeVXiIu
"She was," I answered. "If you ask me, we can start looking on this floor, or we can split." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7RGbMV7wp

"I say we stick together," said Seunghoon. "I’ve a feeling taking Johnny down will need some team effort." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeTugOTZWu

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuODuK5q5tn
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpe0UEiREW
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1mFfVPqJq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWLgk1xIfR

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiic874euCk
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar9pTLDaCs
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7z8Fsiicu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy5ntjTDUE
"Can it be Johnny?" Zoey asked. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4zOENyJe4

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSsxAqmYGq
"I doubt it," Mino whispered who leaned against the wall next to her. "That sounds like a lot of steps." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC94nQl4jW

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FwkodHwoA

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZCisgj24c
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgQZ6ckJGc
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeALOrKWGNQ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby0NjqI8WG
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPHEJwA41D

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpHCIxAQYQ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsHZZGs7aM

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu17aV1Blc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvb0owWu7H

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiyfEtPROl
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ksk1bOcUk
"I think we call anyway," said Zoey. "He obviously knows that the only way to draw us out is if he has Lee." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG592UBccZ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdsJtgGmSp
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FNdRI0ZAQ

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZvWcx79ay
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FJgxigWjD
"Well, he would've called first if he wanted to draw us out," I said as I held my phone in my hand. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTeLOzUHbw
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcqG5hW6HQ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNmYGeXZKf

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU8dp9gbqL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNQpEk6R2Y
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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEz9A03g2z
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMsnqoBj1e
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdvFYWW5MR
"So you want to catch him off guard?" Jisoo asked. "Will that even work?" 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuBKqjFZiR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJYhiYUNgf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lAMSrCq2z

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKoKpioqki
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfcW5rWgrG

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXBwlKPEyl
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR9t93SU7D

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P8pBzrmDZ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9TgJro7tv
"What’s on this floor anyway?" I couldn't help but ask as I felt like the place is pretty much empty. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgdJlQxGyJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu9BUdx9ll
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77D0dSeNgO
"There are rooms that were once used for practice till they moved them downstairs. They plan to renovate and make offices here," said Mino. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKbDqUNi31
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwmSa2o4AL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy0NDcOBqE
"Is this the only floor where renovations are taking place?" I stood in the middle of the hall to take a good look beyond. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH6xPat5iz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeyj6FQWGp
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pvd9tgWbr

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y9RGtbuAr
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14v3HNWvlj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyMBx5dbFj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyUTOkWktr
"Well, the bodyguards should’ve thought of that before bypassing this floor," said Zoey. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfzFIOP18H
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JQYYorggH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6isBjPO5DX
"Maybe they did, and they couldn’t find anything to convince them that someone could be hiding here," said Jisoo. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkylGmxGEfk
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfKphflQyv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHyQkCsVLB
"Well, let's see if we can find something," said Seunghoon. "But the rooms should be empty." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTAyDf8Phu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbbqNq2ldy
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoqKuDFQq3
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeuLWNrbQy
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM6bEqDe2q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkrSbC4Lcr
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8iDbgIi6y
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50PVO8cNNg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaw8QwbISw
"Everyone, hide," I said quietly. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT1c3Vzhwx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvZ0iqH8CF
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt7EZi4SyY
"What? Why?" Zoey asked, turning to look at me. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhtDfd494K
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ131n4HusL6
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklMqjubTU5
"Someone’s coming," I answered. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYPnggwi9v
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID2nzXvV7G
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dze5tJ8jq
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI6soBfuOx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaWVfbEvwS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETzqDdRTcE
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOyruHn6Bj
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnICz0iQe1O
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGRCCXMEY7
"Can we turn on the lights?" Jisoo asked in a whisper. "It’s dark in here." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYUOlToD6i
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpss2AzlET5
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk2evpv9qG
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6dZBiwNRV
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIUdItUWTY
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aInvdDJun
"Ssh," said Mino. "Do you hear that? The person is coming." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xyO1dKClL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XGq7POvAt
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRAqHaGc65
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWWDDloWjm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQl0OujPu8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACybAA2E1O
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV3DASWoQo
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt3gG5vHmC
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriIGnk9yTd
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAq7LiXC43
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0pbxzbDVF
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyDLXdkurm

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVGde3yPTu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5bcI20ebt

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWcqhQVq73
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBly7TPU5YD

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wQYgY3CLI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGPC3kLwzQ
"Don’t worry, guys, it’s GD," Seunghoon came back into the room to address us. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcDoWtbNsm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLStVANeg96
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36RPkDX2m8

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9X6RO3Mxc
"Oh, oppa," said Jennie stepping out of the room to join Seunghoon in the hall. "How did you find yourself here?" 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6iWVFHCoE
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGooB2QKqF
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26gQAz0YXv
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQOEP3NFLu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXXy4ios1g

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyaBIWbkLB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19or4rPcP6
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVqnP52EqO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jffnmx2nd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkeX2GzZ15
"Oh, that’s good to hear. But I thought you were kept under guard." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPLmr45ilL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F2JSivqtG
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaJLoBUmf1

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHLAgJG5Sf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcZDT2yGEV
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp97XPq0d8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu37L0iRDg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6P8Ka3fbo

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm53vMKu2kE
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBEC0fumdB
"Really?" Zoey asked, raising an eyebrow. "How can we be so sure that you're looking for him?" 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoPZCKdIjU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmd6MgpEpP
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyFurieAjE
G-Dragon and so did the rest of us turn to look at her, wondering why she could ask such a question. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5mhfk2xQZ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IeeDgJJIl
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu0rV6c8ZL
"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?" 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTWoWVaPBM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4SwOISgXx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0devFyAjS
"And why would I do that?" GD asked, not believing the words coming out of Zoey’s mouth. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9aSihoQAJ

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnGaw9doBh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEECpuKeEq
"Yeah, right. We warned you about him, but you didn’t listen to us, did you?" 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZSXAAG3Rf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qgoHCiCwO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcaCUb9X0N
"Zoey, enough," I intervened. "Telling him that we told him so right now isn’t going to help us find Lee." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2ebdqZBkT

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRD75rjdIA
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsinThqq9ZS
"Wasn’t the crowd he drew towards us last night evident enough that Johnny is crazy? Yet you brought him here on the grounds that you two are friends." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCpfiS71TS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHrl376f83
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9PZfS9C4k
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk7L1MKfSB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzt1iuWHqR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDCFClMbks
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtVhEhEBD3
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xJpm2q19i
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15uQGQqz3D

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphIs4dCxrb
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4ZN9VDaSW
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AElBCiW4g
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt5O0zZvLq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jwH7qCRQ9

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMDXdZDOQi
"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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxdM5S5ngK

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VN1kKo6lA
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMZPFsD3Y
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYlJVQJao9

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WSHOXDJgv

"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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgICheASve

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSLdqUdnZi
"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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiirajr0ja

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj46BU0aLKc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMQMyQxG8z
The box did move. My eyes widened, and I turn to look at GD, whose mouth is agape. He saw it too. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFwIJAhw0P

Before I could go any further, I felt G-Dragon take hold of my hand. I stop and turn to look at him. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL4jwDeJ7T

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf2SLGf9Zj

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl2n3GR1gC

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AJYJ6asFj
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMt7d6AatB

"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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdytdQwOMr

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9dpi18qXq

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdmYilc8UF
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKU4jYhQpF

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqE5zZP25X
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpu2mSE0vH

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN6hGA4iVC
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCyvT438ta
"He shouldn’t know that we’re out here looking for him." I answered. "GD, quick, answer it." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBygqDKOik7
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSew3NBfXU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71pr3MaZmw
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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcChK1cXoQN
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX3MhkrFEH
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0GSEP5jB5
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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLangSwL3Lz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eb5gSqMUk
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wtm5b75wp
"You’re in the basement? How did you get there? The whole place is on lockdown. They say someone cut the power and the guards are looking for whoever is responsible." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02wFoTLz7q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYquR789gbx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GWnBoTOhP

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbZxpNX4Ev
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyupECcXMTq
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55TT1pbVKg
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaOra4HDSR
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS4Rtcr6Xd
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrEzY0VUhf
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzuhr6Ian

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ5O3dRFGF

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfwjm2gNgQ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmsMHzendU

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqI7qemIFC

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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduSXEqQalK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltaPpCIqIi
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6HE6MLLxo
We make our way down the stairs, and we were much quicker this time. Before we reached the ground floor, I stopped everyone. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsgG171qBl
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAZXoM5kJd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi92PAVdExE

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsEe6WURDG
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0cqnGjONJ

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mo2yHoxDL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM34iDKxvVV
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9KILKbCJw
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSejtzcsbL
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8irpLoWpCk

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn6c9q2UYp
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpECJIWUN3a

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtdR67YejU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTKuxzcBs0

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZL9Q8jI6e
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiU66i7crc
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHIUPIASzS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB13EZKlQPP

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymaujvTWET
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcujDT3X0Nd
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnhv77eihI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpTtF6b0m8
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjZJ6HK0A8

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzoVBS65Xh
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACO8ie4Nce
Jisoo looked at Zoey, dumbfounded. I turned to look at Mino and GD who like me, didn’t seem the least bit surprised. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC71uOlsGJ
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1wxTj34wV

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ks96ueGhB
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqjIpqCaQS
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuo4BPJtau

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfrxAzQMhW
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPrUHsyF4D
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkAR2JVV4F
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc04vsUMHbF
We are now in the basement and before Zoey could open the door. GD stepped forward. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4qH3K9N4J
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tQ9mJNdTO
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sWrv4Oqqd

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CMYt62Pkd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A7voFyprp
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLq2hwjUyK
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFGIQfdTcx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHKViYO4wB
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcBNuFNtkx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12shcv8Hqz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ioPVybAN
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY4J21aLjg

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfKitegCjn
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEoGsggmqD

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? 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCiDu95gIu
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg6xJpoaA2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bqHxzHvVp

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKYUqBwE0r
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrbo494CJx

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9lXPS7f7U
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG1qLOx8Ja

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdR5d7MY9U
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ouYQO1mA4

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA1pVp7d2a
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhQlX149p2

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGmyv8ek3C
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSsicM3EEv
"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." 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnbyIQHj2c
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPvbF4SBUM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOvfnDiRJW
"Sure, let’s go." GD turned to lead the way and Johnny followed alongside him. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLxoT2Gzuz
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEcUrwaDBl
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDJzCQH4tR
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Ba2UfkHx
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHd2HrAbD2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHYCkMwXB2

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLgEarSTQJ

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuc5yQjqiM

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDovWxTHm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzeQjQYTFF

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTivY5v1Ik
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNILM1z0txz
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWCAyEi6jl
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QEGvzQS1O
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaAyTpWOKS

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIX5JzU24g
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYhQCYRjKj

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBRuiiwD62
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cBo2JuOsH

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJXHHAHDjd
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys4gmjPj5L

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6fdhXsNeI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnZSyKCgGt

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA57yQKYgYB
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL2vk2TOz5

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmNgvMvW2U
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5uGAUR4tU
With Sam helping her up, but careful enough not to stand upright, she and Jisoo started to make their way to the others. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8HcW8995q
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OE7S4dbXm
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0QwYBKLGG
"I think I’ll go check it out," said Johnny as he fully turned around to make his way back. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabq4hlpOEv
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ1TsAAx4o
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmaEKomCHZ
Shoot, GD said to himself. He has to stop Johnny before he spots the others. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKxp7WFti5
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H2j4BqDLI
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegFDeNvIfp
"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?" 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPLahypGKU
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtPSm4h2KE
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVU9bJNL15

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lySZ6HRty
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG50OuQmxz
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF5RT4ou7m
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkj2zjtVuA
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6xHTHsE1r

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mSO9dFTkM
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EKXj927mQ

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3hgibf5Xq
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu5PnjTG0c
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq3XNxjrMY
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH82h0G3USn
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw55qDxKTg
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvR9p1bB2E

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaLVq1VSDV
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOeXUxKKqg
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMa3s7bOhG
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24uwrcf9je

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxCCy8ti71
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVR55btMDg
"Tell me about it," said Sam. She removed the walkie-talkie she had in her pocket and went to the second channel. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSC2ujsnEF
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT165AnaME
