The police officers entered the boutique after they got the go signal of Erick. He informed them that the criminal had been apprehended.
Some of them released the other hostages from being tied down. Officer Kim and others went to the fitting room to arrest the unconscious suspect. Elle and Erick were also there and they were just about to leave.
Officer Kim was surprised to see Elle there. Now he understood why Erick convinced them to let him infiltrate the boutique secretly. Aside from his mother and other hostages, Elle was one of the reasons that could explain Erick's action a while ago.
Erick and Elle were about to go out when the other hostages ran towards them. Elle frowned seeing their faces with full excitement and admiration.
Each one of them spoke up to Erick, hoping to get his attention.
"Officer thank you for saving us!"
"We are indebted to you. Tell us how we can repay you in return."
"We really like to thank our savior!"
