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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7n75AmXe2

"Who am I kidding?" said Zoey as she leaned upon the stair rail. "I’m so tired." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH0ag8auIA

"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?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rgbmt4zLD
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMJIXK0xIm
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwzVqqe6IR
"She was," I answered. "If you ask me, we can start looking on this floor, or we can split." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0MiQ6cCEv
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WtY8a9nbU
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANpxsciwwA
"I say we stick together," said Seunghoon. "I’ve a feeling taking Johnny down will need some team effort." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVrMvAl58f
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2KNSDZhr7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYAfvUMVYu
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx09MuQT8yI
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8aZYjqLf0
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxpwQwuWJo
"That’s fine," I said. "I really wish we knew where she could be." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnnXwITYTt
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaeeDPERNd
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkNmIILFpE
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqQqNRnHi2
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1wKKiwksI
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESJqmjRbtN
"Can it be Johnny?" Zoey asked. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q5fo9VQOR
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvx9hUWST8
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzaSOJAhis
"I doubt it," Mino whispered who leaned against the wall next to her. "That sounds like a lot of steps." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlbtGwdOZg
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rTL5qWmO6
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWty18T5zDi

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDrdntXwxk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJCAUHmqJa
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPD8YWQKfc
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBp6ve5D3t
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBMe7yCMPa

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLllFRgbgf
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkNZp0n4Yj
"Maybe you can call her again," Seunghoon suggested. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjk23cKMT1
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEOBdoWBBM
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOehQcBNqX
"Even if we do, and Johnny does have her, he'll know we’re coming for him," said Mino. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XDFu9gpM5
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRwysq2naR
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFozV9fGyXh

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpieVBNAJs3
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjxQRdhOPp
"I think we call anyway," said Zoey. "He obviously knows that the only way to draw us out is if he has Lee." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvIEY8x10i
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36pt91fqiZ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOgoGRFrUR
"Or he might call us instead," said Jisoo. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyWJZbkD3q
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc9cdpRWoP
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp8m6yzh8l
"Well, he would've called first if he wanted to draw us out," I said as I held my phone in my hand. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf2OzAIgAG
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRVFyMpJID
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64z2kzRULJ
"So what should we do?" Mino asked. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe2fZx2g39
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTyzCbHw9J
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4WkBQ81vU
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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZWHZ66UtS
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfAutu8o0a
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcdS5uHaqp
"So you want to catch him off guard?" Jisoo asked. "Will that even work?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7hpq7rIeX
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir3vk09uRJ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuOWlxYUK4
"It will be bad for us if we call. That way he will know we're agitated." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBsBrgUaL7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JbIk5tRwR
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x0L9jNVq8

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvFUwCIUYp
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtllXZ9ZTDs

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQVbSV0j9Y
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhciXze280
"What’s on this floor anyway?" I couldn't help but ask as I felt like the place is pretty much empty. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJMbxPXDvo
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aNSrcQC0c
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj2G8VuuRX
"There are rooms that were once used for practice till they moved them downstairs. They plan to renovate and make offices here," said Mino. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u1Lv16ovN
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSsUxhMe3a
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPUQO17s5A
"Is this the only floor where renovations are taking place?" I stood in the middle of the hall to take a good look beyond. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmWsUzbhvQ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm9oSwboAQ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Bw3R20La

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI30bkHNzv9
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QxnjDvy2n
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4HPibyC1V
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLBVOiWaor
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUOIbtOYfj
"Well, the bodyguards should’ve thought of that before bypassing this floor," said Zoey. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshOa4ap57P
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOgZvj56aa
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzawQIrBApl
"Maybe they did, and they couldn’t find anything to convince them that someone could be hiding here," said Jisoo. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfQjUl027e
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCh4p4cxeb
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXuTzZu8JE
"Well, let's see if we can find something," said Seunghoon. "But the rooms should be empty." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cIVUi7ljo
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sk1ZCAx3B
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS07BR5Ofp
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZzaCc6xNO
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuq8nYefaP
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5vcB22etn
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCUPdLPnxJ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETWIs9c6xK
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumkKvR5v12
"Everyone, hide," I said quietly. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz8NGkkJuB
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUEG3vuvLo
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBHVHg7k2C
"What? Why?" Zoey asked, turning to look at me. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizyoCnwQEG
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIOBR3scGv
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIfJtv6waO
"Someone’s coming," I answered. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0tJINzUOg
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMYzhRuTpT
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKtTBzYADo
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OYCOcDPHz
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLE5tEPsy4
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh2bfNi0Ym
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeoiYzEjcg
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGNNyOH6no
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweG26k9Q1i
"Can we turn on the lights?" Jisoo asked in a whisper. "It’s dark in here." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Jz7Z1eJo
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKtjvh6qIy
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSUGKEMy73
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEUK2Fj6yr
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2BntX7G3M
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtxviaBGH3
"Ssh," said Mino. "Do you hear that? The person is coming." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv9WZuuOzN
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTf1pKHnbV
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrbO9vWIx5
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUznq4FB4X
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYd4Klu9zr
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtPuJ5Bs1B
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeddmrrvJt
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDctKbt5UQK
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDK43hakVO
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6eVfnVLOs
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tgMl0vyrk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaImKz6jAwq
"Hyung?" Seunghoon called out. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXeoJbEKQU
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTlq5FUbXY
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPe4wc6gdz
"Goodness, Seunghoon get back here!" Zoey whispered to him. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLCOlT18R2
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yH5hTPyvh
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfzWZwcSq1
"Seunghoon?" came a familiar voice. "What are you doing here?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYZZWZTzB3
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JOZQYbnGV
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lgVkfwQut
"Don’t worry, guys, it’s GD," Seunghoon came back into the room to address us. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNhqWJQzKd
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFv6NXUXPU
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbUNJgH3XG

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H4C5N5oid
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCGdfMyotY
"Oh, oppa," said Jennie stepping out of the room to join Seunghoon in the hall. "How did you find yourself here?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRpMKNy8MS
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSuKL3RqpD
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD9RbWgFCi
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4voqD7zjPs
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjx1oesfI0
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBciTXf6kz

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDYbRvfJwP
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jtvl1sRAA
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUDCd0amp7
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pdIAng5bY
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkapEsv2da
"Oh, that’s good to hear. But I thought you were kept under guard." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIiuHyAZCE
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg8TQPB4ET
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD98lqVCNR
"We were," said Mino. "But we had to sneak out to find Johnny." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPUVeUCq08
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD3gWeAdYg
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BZWpOcKMa
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL46l61Ztp
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiCFfLNIcZ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSyGt4wyzh
"That’s not good," said GD. "I also came up here to try and find him." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DDrTvQznz
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r2OyOtjgM
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78uA1nxOuM
"Really?" Zoey asked, raising an eyebrow. "How can we be so sure that you're looking for him?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KJHBEhVSb
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrL2H2JAIl
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7DS9YI2KO
G-Dragon and so did the rest of us turn to look at her, wondering why she could ask such a question. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjiGu1eonQ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDxhR0h3qF
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vd5SVpRRb
"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?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRKOjyVBvr
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l63N15VVe
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnBcpks7CN
"And why would I do that?" GD asked, not believing the words coming out of Zoey’s mouth. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeGwCRB8kx

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAyovuu792

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkbFnqPqX1
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJT6JvglHH
"Yeah, right. We warned you about him, but you didn’t listen to us, did you?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5d8w2EvjC
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl6z0eYjWh
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpKxqxZTCp
"Zoey, enough," I intervened. "Telling him that we told him so right now isn’t going to help us find Lee." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUB7IcEvXj

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IEjWvAjtl
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ65MHxlTA8
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1e49ZTn5t
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UIF6NJaIa
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hpp43JEor
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs8hBQcybV
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKmjC40v0T
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCif4lQkdbo
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPFRjvv9W6
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6vxq1TLJz
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvkKsZoubB
"Won’t that also get you arrested?" Jisoo asked. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAf7kh9SYo
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTWeK3vlhJ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Dt0P5ki4

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJB1CLWouj
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTseVQzsUSp
"With that on stand-by, what are you doing here GD?" I asked, turning to look at him. "Did Johnny communicate with you?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKAXu0c6Jf
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA2nfrmcu9
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QTAxOEdOo
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSk9w6YnAf
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVE9pkEM3K
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc8L9PI6tp

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcaJupsv9Z
"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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5O7gFyvmi
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvsCQ9nMsx
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FA7nzE8yR

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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ztX4TSBqy
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9utkbsvOb2
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW3xbx1XBM
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM776LUqnqP

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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZiVZKRoli
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaeQarwDgV
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMyGG39jGC
"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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgUPGjTML3
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ8SSO1d4l
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRON8dL9qex
"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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlMyOuJIzz

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PftY8DYEF
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhMHMSDJXS
The box did move. My eyes widened, and I turn to look at GD, whose mouth is agape. He saw it too. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgtSuriQn2
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y5qijQWPG

Before I could go any further, I felt G-Dragon take hold of my hand. I stop and turn to look at him. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY6CP7cbSs
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKL3ie9crL

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs6hRAZKoE
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqgDRGDomO

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDQYKFinbY
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCKxBZ1vAz
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtaFVHwm4c
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFSRllOxuY

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sYmkTA92c
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCKuF1M0l5
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYfwHPEFlM

"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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvdHW8if8R
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QpULp8U3g
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnllOpaJyfQ

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IN2GvgOlY

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG0mS6WFjo
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI6p91ZUQR

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Tgxu74pk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3tQd8f9c4
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbfHdJ7JIq

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViqAXBWcAg
"I agree," said Zoey, as she lifted it to take a better look at it like it's a precious gem. "Just look at it. It's so cute. It will be a crime to leave it here all alone." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE5Agr0ECW

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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvSwqDGiyT
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2qbpKZGLS
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI3ISNMtUu
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagsAp0AvGl
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a5OrZSnsF

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc3byv15Ez
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z5NKpLAJM

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ebZWI3Nyk
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVrntNfBXJ

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VvzLP22KX
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5KDNx5ErD

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2wh61ICzI
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvQ9mofxjs
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlq9wMIpcg

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ImOWyMuyZ
"What are you talking about?" the guard asked, looking at us. "Don't tell me you still plan on looking for Lee on your own?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJIYlGl2GA
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1FwNFXzYq
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawlakUgOFn

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS7XX0oTAg
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPkhPpA4ur
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5WmMuBxgl

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bhfeNoQXM
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv5UXJFzLA

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWRy6JJsIQ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa5hpCyGqB

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymSHaZqgGz
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYozhz4Msy
The guard shook his head, realizing that talking us out of it is pointless. "Fine." He dug into his pocket and removed a black walkie-talkie. "Does anyone know how to use this?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYukuWLlhi
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmg6hZq9F

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMPgBkfKQ8
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MoMAHYXBH
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpSRHwMooA

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ9fL2MHny
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVJMGSRWrK

As soon as Zoey opened the door, GD’s phone soon started to ring. We all paused to look at him. He took his phone out of his pocket, and his eyes widened with surprise when he looked at it. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpG8chsQ1d

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPnOvEVZGy
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbDocXmWaV
"He shouldn’t know that we’re out here looking for him." I answered. "GD, quick, answer it." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfLJlCqzJV
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgjeE0SKIL
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwWHA7ofBV
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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo6wKFsuoa
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkSJxCb3M3
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkNATD0eq7
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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZLYdK7EnB
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfQGVydii2
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51KZP80rrP
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IiNWOKJ35
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxtPVROmTH
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqJN7BLGcs

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjGTNhEmia
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVNTUvApae
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyoMpSFy0B
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Rg6WBrJW
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b0pRanaXk
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZGp5Y30LH
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqbZFlhH6e

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgdBIkKQSm
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0njLcFnkyW
"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?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzwWsbwPSW
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5y0nMdwb5
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ9tBsF6Lz

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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm2KMWwPET
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4fEfx4Q2z
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkhB9LhIc3
We make our way down the stairs, and we were much quicker this time. Before we reached the ground floor, I stopped everyone. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk71OHM3VC
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ0uDj2b18
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J7HZBTqrp

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUTp4G2AqF

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFMne7W4Bf
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfqjcmxGwV
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb2wsUOqdv
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRbbjOrsPT

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21YAFEhU6T
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnGEfQczms
"Maybe we don’t have to," said Jisoo. "Once we have Lee, then we can call the guards to come to the basement." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jzba61OUn
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwyPofiQW2
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1p9m09K4S

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyVQxrRIBD
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ktijFKHmx

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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyYYIeUqhT
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK3mWTXeVR
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ouFZfP7Q

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13vfHBYjhg
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5FctRGvH4
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmnhLmlyhz
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4tPGiokME
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFMI3c0YII

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Pqhcdqxq
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GuCbjrCli
Jisoo looked at Zoey, dumbfounded. I turned to look at Mino and GD who like me, didn’t seem the least bit surprised. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz08sLWLH1
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyTgnw1qtJ
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmWM3IUWWa

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDxV7yBD86
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcHHrZNRnR
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe2FKn8Gtc
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYKsWVN4bt

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg5YPEF66F
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAga7I77rdF
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eteweShFt
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkgYyeeS4Q
We are now in the basement and before Zoey could open the door. GD stepped forward. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BULCRHT4b
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJOHUIP2qT
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUvCyQb0AL
"Let me be the first to go," he said. "Just in case, he's wondering around the basement car park." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUSH4Z5z5e
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YPnckXNSm
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj49tkTkudc
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMIZGJL50f
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUkkDmdRkO
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73UCAUv7Mx
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTRgGjZm3H
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3s77Sroj9
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq4UCNQAvW
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqDLduCVtp

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGQKJ58MPH
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PVbnlSdnI

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkoOQOx7Cs
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? 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61JUAyJ87L
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYabXLQa2lN
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9NY9Zx6y9

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTxWg7jhxg
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gFD5pG8vb
"No, I was in the men’s room," Johnny answered. "Drinking too much last night did a number on me." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjV0ecmuOb
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Der6pXA1
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6oPdsMb9s
"Okay, let’s get out of here," said GD. "The basement sometimes gives me the creeps when I stay too long." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmse3plsYHg
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA8mMTb3vM
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfI0noFJkm
"You say the place is on lockdown," said Johnny, before GD could turn around. "Will we even be allowed out of here?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubSgWsWpSq
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCyj1Iykyu
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdQkLiAZDd
"Well, they’ve to," said GD. "I can’t waste my time here since we aren't even allowed to go upstairs to see the others." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwTcnYdgf4
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQY2GRhlYX
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqIAvMmwTK
"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." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9hiaU83wV
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKJM6dg8hK
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUbUPd600r

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P19ZFe09u
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n5jwK9TLy
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNpNhmQf7s
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFjaCUGdvK
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl46rjLLvfO

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU7Eepwz2R
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkofC0SCQc

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHCpipAXEL
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGijNoDBFIL
"Something tells me he has something up his sleeve," said Sam as she stood behind Zoey. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMePxZVKFll
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLHQ0d4n3y
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgZl2hW2h4
"Okay, they’re almost gone," said Mino as he slowly opened the door fully. "The basement storeroom is on our left. Follow me quietly." 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X2X1bNENu
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VwIPOgui2
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELzw6Jy1e0
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqggg1Oalt
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL26MXiDBA8
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMv6Cl4lKJ
"What was that?" Johnny asked, looking behind him. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHDGJCEpje
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcxHCZh9X9
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5rnKQi9Ka
"Probably a rat," GD answered, knowing fully well that one of his friends made the noise. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFEAC7INKL
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VPtVQXXba
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOEPNJM8VV
"I feel someone is in here," said Johnny. He started to walk backwards a little. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIbA0CrJnK
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yoEAbzZSd
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5tLc7DuJU
"Goodness," Sam muttered as she quietly but quickly came back for Jisoo. She squatted next to her. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYybej0aoUv
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Pp6lkwVe
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcgLnJD5BC

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qeWXqM72F
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzMMxEQJno

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacOAqrnDG6
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI2EytuEnK
With Sam helping her up, but careful enough not to stand upright, she and Jisoo started to make their way to the others. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g5Zoo4WA2
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgEzLfMwkN
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgakrT2lRQ
"I think I’ll go check it out," said Johnny as he fully turned around to make his way back. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB40rK0dhyy
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFS4LB3j7x
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdyH526H29
Shoot, GD said to himself. He has to stop Johnny before he spots the others. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz2hMp2iQ8
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2okmLa5eL
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8y7TOSE1x
"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?" 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmZVGcpb3O
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXtyMqOJF0
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS77fTqRhTI

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHunzqTMKJG
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdauf54isZn
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPsH44R9iL
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPGSJ8qmD0
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJnjp8um0e

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SnaPGhzv9
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7FqHrTo5P
"See, I told you," said GD as he felt relieved. He really thought Johnny was going to catch them. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTOEUeby8I
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3yLFHMQhx
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoUOXvZbRJ
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEMmiHZk0R
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZiCcpVL8G
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAJ3plg7A0
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFNUV5qqgo

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNmcC7UkT5
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUzFVWW6pi
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. 401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztMgnXbWlv
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA6FP2YxI2
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gRW5yu60B
