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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U1EeIOwaZ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGmZlYt17P
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiuzFoTrZp
"Who am I kidding?" said Zoey as she leaned upon the stair rail. "I’m so tired." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUySPgPKUIT

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYLTGw9OFh

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGsTUXEEp2
"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?" 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMA6vmafWU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCZJUE2SKB
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ2q7a2iZL
"She was," I answered. "If you ask me, we can start looking on this floor, or we can split." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ0XhOSUn4
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJTGkqn6sz
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXGkDlCu95
"I say we stick together," said Seunghoon. "I’ve a feeling taking Johnny down will need some team effort." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkIZHXcOKc
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI5beieQSD
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbkDSyjlAW
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZfkYvI0VW
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy1Oz6CLZn
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZZtOiEaYh
"That’s fine," I said. "I really wish we knew where she could be." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEVREimaTA
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMl47YpKZN
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6oYDjaWs7
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQfPoyIsD1
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE8rkVsa06
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueir0HoEid
"Can it be Johnny?" Zoey asked. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxijnnIeFN
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1m21HiN1I
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5hynk2nTB
"I doubt it," Mino whispered who leaned against the wall next to her. "That sounds like a lot of steps." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zbljEosf2
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8YZrGjoQc
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClxyOIzrXh

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeUNmEJrEt
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAO7VcwAAr
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGdL9i6iBX
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AbcsfuSBb
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz9d0oURfC

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0btfzFoeHM
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uvlXHFUxR

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOPjt2D0rc
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5HZUiX28M

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzWpwXaMaH
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHDsZL0f63
"I think we call anyway," said Zoey. "He obviously knows that the only way to draw us out is if he has Lee." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZXQtpLHzX
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9rZBQHeQV
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlv5byje5s

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjXnQsoHeK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBE2MbBhaG
"Well, he would've called first if he wanted to draw us out," I said as I held my phone in my hand. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EybUnGxQV
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs9FlEEfbU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGFaLJBXRO

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqV5vWdRQR
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07dweH2Hvu
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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQDFRhGpTB
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdXxR7YSam
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bdaaaw07l
"So you want to catch him off guard?" Jisoo asked. "Will that even work?" 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa9j1Wmwn9
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoolljvHns
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNupzBRWabx
"It will be bad for us if we call. That way he will know we're agitated." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fqdg5i7LQ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E6p3WnFTU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrz7bY6jpr

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M0Xgpr64o
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGawKPWhZmp

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaK2Zk5rBz
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpcCi2DxQ9
"What’s on this floor anyway?" I couldn't help but ask as I felt like the place is pretty much empty. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkA8dnm2tR
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcirvtdI2tK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBy2hLOz0j
"There are rooms that were once used for practice till they moved them downstairs. They plan to renovate and make offices here," said Mino. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWMyXSxYkD
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOSYLNZFOm
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJNI7fDUt6
"Is this the only floor where renovations are taking place?" I stood in the middle of the hall to take a good look beyond. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3no21nhXcF
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDg01CMX7b
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHuAHgonZf

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcJPD9hjuh
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGGKEon9Ks
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fh8CBCH7a
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCqUrv19m0
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkKIqaaEfL
"Well, the bodyguards should’ve thought of that before bypassing this floor," said Zoey. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aFoHGOjNO
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo2OI87rvh
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQih4HXQRs
"Maybe they did, and they couldn’t find anything to convince them that someone could be hiding here," said Jisoo. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhDyUyMKdP
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEUAAzBfNc
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK8Y5FJnfk
"Well, let's see if we can find something," said Seunghoon. "But the rooms should be empty." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS6AFCjMoP
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OFKkrRqzy
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMiZYtywS0
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ77MGxCUr
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu4Hzrp3mJ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o7n0frHGx
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES1SaR6LZY
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6iJgsD1Id
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxHf1K0tnd
"Everyone, hide," I said quietly. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR9IJnn5rI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35aT7sV1By
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWzi7wJyUV
"What? Why?" Zoey asked, turning to look at me. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNeV654ZZT
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4vMCE7xYQ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7HZM1w8WS

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP1dpCz1Sz
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal3pDjgsd5
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT17X6hMlp
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1CEoh5em7
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04iRipyao4
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZk3IwbWh8
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAhCs5KxRP
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9BRrFblRs
"Can we turn on the lights?" Jisoo asked in a whisper. "It’s dark in here." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe72eJDReeC
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX35CTv8JoT
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ljRcZbiOm
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncYTR9C7Yr
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoRuKD8csF
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyepQ4L2MK
"Ssh," said Mino. "Do you hear that? The person is coming." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e3OBigOs9
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Vdy2FI2J
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIFbv8K9jT
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk0o6og5Ph
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWpTZ6RDE9
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcYWDOKQEg
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFkE1AYiSE
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiCrJlCmKS
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKblwm9t3eJ
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNctL5HIfJ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL2hgAXwEn
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQh3Wyi6tb

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYYJSdjd3q
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDERNcPJwV
"Don’t worry, guys, it’s GD," Seunghoon came back into the room to address us. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboWP9bAEgn
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO6mobPALP
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxirYUuh7er

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0n0nJqJ5V
"Oh, oppa," said Jennie stepping out of the room to join Seunghoon in the hall. "How did you find yourself here?" 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkzqLkmh22
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCKxNtuwIR
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmKclu8aZV
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNX66gyQhq
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5kbUjxt5d
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoznIOKUME

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAttzynGwhg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwxS1lHRRm
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uOXkM316N
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvazArzPDq
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjihIZe0j

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kGI5bSYkp
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCJG3IU31L

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgFnhCFaTN
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY7xt4nd6A
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1FxyhWcSc
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWRiGR6wKO
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ2If3XUq8

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9t2a5ErqJ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07T2LCOpTe
"Really?" Zoey asked, raising an eyebrow. "How can we be so sure that you're looking for him?" 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaxR2QRVqV
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwPSRnhxHU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0AaGqyYKE
G-Dragon and so did the rest of us turn to look at her, wondering why she could ask such a question. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gJ5nGDiX3
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVCtv1GhDJ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4PGAlLrA3
"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?" 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkkccBT3EQ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraQmLLdkfx
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdljhAachF

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4cSVGG4A0
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqaR0hJaiG
"Zoey, enough," I intervened. "Telling him that we told him so right now isn’t going to help us find Lee." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7g7Xv7QBt

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqUdiHtqbN
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj9oUI0UZQ

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJilchQ729
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrVirwwJuc
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOuPV8RWmX
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbnExXWXV1
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn3P1c2bhE
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60wl094JfG
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cfMpsmuNq
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90O6ifgraR

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3uD4FVkep
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzTnpKwm0M

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoLgQ587oZ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o075RjqUU
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Vb2LXseD
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDsE59OlJD
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPNvUzzEe9

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtigBvAS06Y
"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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQI3YYuge6

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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjBnq0QlJZ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZEdEPleHe
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUnz0qUhQr
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwtTt3R4Bv

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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddVyRWoVrI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxo7Na3z0G
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmPjXvnWnT
"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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5YgeyS2vg

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJxiyQE1nV
"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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7IH635lLb

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk9SgCKVvI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA852ZV5bGS
The box did move. My eyes widened, and I turn to look at GD, whose mouth is agape. He saw it too. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWiu08iH2w

Before I could go any further, I felt G-Dragon take hold of my hand. I stop and turn to look at him. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ26VSbzcZ

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY94wuH8zGH
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31QcFoNhw8

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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcEVz5xFAB

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM2dZShAsf
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaDzCYrPa0

"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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4esXJyTARX

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoRDPFSIkF

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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQlPRVG1vz

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9M131tLnX
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIRn76vfbJ

"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG39ZkniecV

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOyydX7BbP
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjIVLBdiT0

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y5EKxDVxP
"He shouldn’t know that we’re out here looking for him." I answered. "GD, quick, answer it." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet4A4v88ZE
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioNc2LSAAn
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsf1hlgX9d
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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqkxhN7RLZ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu8D13H9lP
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YwqxSc58W
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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHIg5CXw3e
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuYZbNI2qj
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnGQFi5mBX
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwLFnTp25Z
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHDvb8cfKz

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakLr0wr5rA
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeEcmHg5nz
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjq8M1Hzix
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbRFKv1z6z
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2va7X3Iv25
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkQOdhgViY
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ732TFWIfp6

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs9lluHT5a
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJC4B7S7rb

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY34wVlXxgU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVtd7eDU82

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XVXuujmxu
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHfTHVi4Xc
"We just have to be careful on how we’re going to do this," said Mino. "Do you think we should also inform the guards?" 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2gsXmTHTU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLjXubCQiN
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYCZBuNDmm

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJHgNVAu68

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKw3UZ7Dbt
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8J39sPlfZ

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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfji1sV7RD
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal7PcmIoBN
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVM3UI10rl
We make our way down the stairs, and we were much quicker this time. Before we reached the ground floor, I stopped everyone. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nsVkoYPMi
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxazarxovxy
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVypWEu1OtO

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg6wXk2s5m
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLbNW3jtdl

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q7kRugHAC
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3XcG2jwQW
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTcmhcifS3
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw7FJEYqkw
"Then how do we deal with Johnny ourselves?" Zoey asked. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwojkWX7jCw
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmMLDInVdP
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWB0ZRweW3
"Maybe we don’t have to," said Jisoo. "Once we have Lee, then we can call the guards to come to the basement." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsMb5p09cf
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIZddxUGdH
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnjzxSnsXG

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf9THtYrsm
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFrVUAsN5M

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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrTQEJRmCI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRpbmGrSMq
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46gwIPz4iu

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VxoVcsq1C
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS5NIPCsOl
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOb1RXsfMa
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfp2NkEnVA
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eHyVeeXU8

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTbPrrIMKL
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh7AihdOjT
Jisoo looked at Zoey, dumbfounded. I turned to look at Mino and GD who like me, didn’t seem the least bit surprised. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZZAHK1iqy
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAgwdtF2m3

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9isSdKkvrH
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNppXFJ0MW8
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ063RMDvEl
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBop85eGic1

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDhOuSZdjt
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvHcFGkWAI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sYlG3fPsb
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wcUiwTSwr
We are now in the basement and before Zoey could open the door. GD stepped forward. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNelvD48co
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX7lxUr1kO
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OoilCO6xp
"Let me be the first to go," he said. "Just in case, he's wondering around the basement car park." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkadCw0QVIw
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtuwCr3KgM
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9P4fxxqv3
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuwem9qbTM
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S5Vm5SbH5
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPvFm4kQNm
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnggSKMPkn1
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0h5pPjrn8
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtF1tuQZBN
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVBRtgA4XB

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMaHIQpJCP
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a78a3jYXn

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgmropqzdF
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? 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtNra2XyVZ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcocZ2xGAf6
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq2jVGpOYU

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjhfmqjpMV
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkx8hEC3qu

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8iJvbtLvI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2lcAmMQ0c

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCmj5qf1pX
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmQofB8MSG

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNxif6ato8
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJGJik8Nxa

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXrv2JNVgz
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQSS8j8ecz
"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." 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVxA8N0mqK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOgZNiSP74
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJDttLbEsj

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjqy8gYgQC
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42eqp83EAF
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioR1ir1nLv
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXukonFvxg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKmJYZ4Fun

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1erKmRLKp

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaPHQUZCZp
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20WGAx50Cx

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzvezE67py
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqMFcetjLs
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdCHqDfq4w
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBdNRydtxG
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy8dRhitZY

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2XYa3kiEw
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYcYPwfVLd

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflLvtlYTMS
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XdJ4BOpk3

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg2DElDsPk
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJHURHVHrg

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU5pWxmjNr
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJz5YOCwtU

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccjHoPWIam
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpA916t6Bq
With Sam helping her up, but careful enough not to stand upright, she and Jisoo started to make their way to the others. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWqEV0ZQQR
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo0FWKaDlH
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2uBoWEHbB
"I think I’ll go check it out," said Johnny as he fully turned around to make his way back. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvSjZUyQir
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz260TOdaV
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7azlM4o1yb

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhuWP4mETd
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrRtwGz493
"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?" 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcTumZRTo9
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw0wnyiz3t
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRhJ48fctG

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn80vLddMo1
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjiNyPR7B
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsxcL1MD6M
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVUbbvtV34

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48Tjv7Dwys
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z3EWtMci1

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3gOu2WsxI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63e3IwwB6F
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLS7rl7RSd
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjGZ61X5uS
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmNZTHKHyh
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoCreese9n

284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vAswmBcIC
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. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnP8gzM8UC

The others also followed suit and Mino approached the door to the storeroom first. As soon as he opened it, they were in for a surprise. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPB42YisSF

Wooden chairs, carton boxes and plastic props came sliding out of the door like an avalanche. Mino and Zoey who stood closest moved away just in time. More props came pouring out that they reached the blue Sedan. 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HLFEAmcEx

"Well, I’m glad you’re alright," said Sam as she came to stand with Jisoo in the pool to look at Lee. "Let’s get you out of there."
