They arrived at Hondaeâs Cocoa Club, but it hadnât opened yet. Jaeyoung and Junhyuk knocked on the door. They knocked for a while, and when the door finally opened, a large man appeared across the threshold.
âWe are not open yet.â
Jaeyoung showed him his ID and asked, âIs the owner here?â
âHe is not here right now.â
Jaeyoung stepped forward and said, âWe are looking for a murder suspect. Your cooperation is appreciated.â
He heard it concerned a murder case and shivered.
âAre you looking for a witness?â
Jaeyoung nodded, and the man went inside and came back out.
âFollow me.â
The man guided them to an office. They were cleaning up the club, getting it ready to open. Junhyuk saw many CCTV cameras as he walked to the office. If they were lucky, they would have a good shot of her face.
They were introduced to the owner of the club, a young man smoking a cigarette. As they entered, he got up from his seat.
âHave a seat.â
He was young for an owner, but Jaeyoung and Junhyuk took their seats, and the owner said calmly, âFirst, show me your IDs.â
Jaeyoung showed him his ID, and the owner shook his head.
âCIA⦠Did you bring a warrant?â
Jaeyoung answered him, âYou might have to close the place if we make an official visit.â
âIs that a threat?â
âI donât joke.â
The owner looked at Junhyuk and shook his head.
âAnd arenât you a model?â
âThatâs just part-time work.â
The owner shrugged.
âI donât want to get too involved.â Junhyuk nodded, and the owner continued evenly, âOK. How can I help you?â
Jaeyoung told him why they were there.
âCan we check last nightâs CCTVs recordings?â
âAre you looking for your suspect in the videos?â
Jaeyoung nodded, and the owner got up from his seat, brought out a laptop and said, âDo it.â
They fast-forwarded the video looking for the person. Under the clubâs heavy lighting, they soon found a blonde woman, but she was dancing and didnât show her face to the CCTV cameras.
âShe knew the location of all of the cameras here,â Jaeyoung said coolly.
There were a total of seven cameras, and she didnât show her face once.
âPerhaps you know this woman?â Jaeyoung asked the owner.
The owner looked at the woman Jaeyoung was pointing at and shook his head.
âI donât know that person.â
He seemed to be telling the truth, and Jaeyoung continued indifferently, âI need your waiters and DJs to gather here. We have to make a reenactment.â
The owner called the people on their phones.
âTheyâll be here.â
Jaeyoung lifted the laptop and said, âI need this to get her face.â
âGo ahead, but be careful with it.â
Jaeyoung headed out to the clubâs stage area. There were ten waiters and a DJ there. The owner told them calmly, âYour cooperation is appreciated. If you know something, you should tell these gentlemen. If you do not, you should reconsider working here.â
Everyone nodded, and Jaeyoung showed them the screen.
âDoes anyone know this blond woman?â
The waiters looked and shook their heads.
âMaybe it was her first time here?â
Then, the DJ said, âI donât know her name, but she comes in here with a different person each time.â
âYouâve seen her before?â
âShe comes onto the stage from time to time.â
The DJ pointed at the ceiling.
âShe was under the lights, so I canât tell if itâs the person Iâm thinking with different clothes, but I have a feeling itâs her because of the way she dances.â
âDo you know her?â
DJ shrugged.
âI tried to seduce her a few times, but she usually disappears before my show is over.â
âHow often does she come here?â
âMaybe once a month. Itâs hard to see her frequently.â
Jaeyoung thought about it for a second and asked, âCan you tell me more about her appearance?â
âShe is white with really pale skin. She has long eyelashes, and her blue eyes are beautiful. I canât tell you about her hairstyle because it changes every time she comes in. I think she wears a wig,â the DJ said calmly.
âWhat about her eyes and lips?â
âIâm not sure. She wears makeup, and her features feel different every time.â
Jaeyoung nodded.
âThank you for your cooperation,â he said and gave him his business card. âIf she ever shows up again, call me.â
âI will.â
He looked at Junhyuk.
âWeâll do a reenactment.â
âDonât we need more information?â
âIt wonât be accurate.â
Then, the DJ spoke up again.
âI followed her once. She was riding a Harley.â
âA Harley?â
âA Harley Davidson FXSBSE CVO Breakout.â
âYou know a lot about motorcycles.â
The DJ smiled.
âIt was the model I wanted, so I remember it.â
Jaeyoung nodded. She rode two motorcycle and both were very expensive. It would be possible to narrow the search.
âThank you for the information.â
Jaeyoung walked out with Junhyuk and said, âWeâll find her soon.â
âYes.â
Junhyuk wanted to prepare himself in case he met her. He either had to fight her without using his powers or heâd knock Jaeyoung out first.
â
Annaâs short hair was wet as she opened her laptop. A bald man with a Hakenkreuz tattoo on his chest appeared on the screen.
âThank you,â he said.
âDonât thank me. You didnât give me much time for this job!â
âIâm sorry. I had no choice. I paid you more than usual.â
âDonât ask me to do things like this again.â
âI understand.â
The man was done talking and disappeared from the screen. Anna dried her hair with a blowdryer and looked in the mirror, focusing on her eyes.
âItâs fun.â
The first time she went to the Dimensional Battlefield, she didnât think she could be powerful, but she had activated her power and survived. She was powerful.
Itâs her world, she could kill anyone and she wouldnât leave any evidence behind.
She smiled and heard a knock on the door.
âCome in.â
A middle-aged Caucasian man walked in. He took the blow dryer away from her and said, âMy daughter, do you have any prior engagements today?â
âIâve already been to school, but Iâm going back later, so I donât have anything to do right now.â
âYou should make some friends.â
Anna smiled.
âDonât worry. I have many friends.â
âIâm sorry you had to follow me here to South Korea.â
Anna grabbed his hand.
âIâm fine. I like South Korea, and I have many friends.â
The middle-aged man smiled and kissed her forehead.
âHave fun at the school.â
âYes, dad.â
âAre you taking your motorcycle?â
âYes.â
âBe careful.â
Anna smiled brightly, and the middle-aged man went out. She walked into the dressing humming.
âWhat should I ride today?â she murmured.
There were fifteen motorcycle keys on top of the drawer.
â
Jaeyoungâs ability was surprising. Before the end of the day, he brought in three names and showed them to Iltae.
âWe narrowed it to three names, but they are all males.â
Iltae looked at the list.
âBut you only have one Caucasian.â
âYes, but he will be hard to investigate.â
âRight, he is a foreign diplomatâ¦â
Junhyuk realized something.
âBut the person we are looking for is a woman.â
Jaeyoung took out a tablet and said, âStephen has a daughter. Her name is Anna, and she is an exchange student at South Korea University.â
Junhyuk stared at Jaeyoung.
âShe is a strong suspect.â
âWhat are you going to do?â
âStephen canât be contacted since he is a diplomat, but his daughter is different.â
âWhere are you going to meet her?â
âShe went to school earlier today, but she still has classes to attend later, so we could meet her today.â
âIntentionally meeting her at a place with a lot of people around?â
âSomething like that. We might find ourselves in danger when we talk to her.â
Both of them would be in danger, and Iltae asked, âAre you taking the snipers with you?â
âYes, I think I should.â
Junhyuk was surprised by their conversation.
âYou are taking snipers?â
What were they doing in the middle of South Korea?
Iltae answered him quietly, âWeâll just restrain her. We canât kill her, and she is the relative of a diplomat.â
Junhyuk realized what W.A.N.C.S. was capable of. They were talking about taking snipers to the middle of South Korea. They might even kill Anna.
Iltae shrugged.
âIâll pay you for tonightâs work. Go with him.â
âOK.â
He would be OK. Since they were taking snipers, he wouldnât have to step forward to deal with Anna. Junhyuk and Jaeyoung got in the Lamborghini and headed to South Korea University. The support teams were following behind them in two cars.
Jaeyoung hung up the phone and told Junhyuk, âShe is attending a lecture.â
âHow do you know?â
âWe are tracking her cell phone.â
The W.A.N.C.S. had many resources. The Rockefeller family was behind them in that regard. Who had actually ordered the killings against the companyâs wishes? Junhyuk wanted to know. He didnât want to be swept by any of the bigger events surrounding him.
They got to South Korea University and parked near the building where Anna was attending the lecture. Everyone got out of their cars.
Jaeyoung positioned the support team here and there. They knew they were coming to a school, so they carried their firearms in bags. Jaeyoung walked over.
âThere is a resting area in front of the building. We will talk to her there.â
âAre you arresting her?â
âWeâll just meet her today. Just check her out.â
Junhyuk was nervous. It wasnât easy to read someone without looking into her eyes.
âAre you going to look into her eyes?â
âI will. If something happens to me, the snipers will deal with her.â
If not, Junhyuk would have to step in.
Jaeyoung and Junhyuk went into the building. A few people recognized Junhyuk and came over to him, but they went away after meeting Jaeyoung. They went to a lecture hall and waited for a long time until people started coming out. A woman was talking to her friends while walking out. She had pale skin and long lashes. She was quite beautiful.
She saw Jaeyoung and Junhyuk and turned her head. She tried to look into Junhyukâs eyes, and he looked at her chin. He thought it was best to avoid her eyes.
âAnna, can we talk for a minute?â
âWhere do you come from?â
Jaeyoung showed her his CIA ID. She saw his it and shook her head. Then, she lifted her head and smiled brightly.
âRight, where do you want to talk?â
âThere is an open area in front of the building.â
Jaeyoung took her out to the set up spot, and Junhyuk followed them. Anna was walking in front of him, and he prepared for the worst.
The place was crawling with snipers, and he couldnât use his powers to deal with her, but it should go smoothly. They were in a small resting area. Anna took a seat under a shadow, putting herself out of the snipersâ range.
She didnât look like an ordinary college student, and they were curious about her. She looked at Jaeyoung and Junhyuk and smiled.
âWhat do you want to talk about?â
Annaâs blue eyes sparkled.
