"What did you see?" Evan asked pensively from the other end of the phone.
"Nothing sir, they haven't stepped out since yesterday night and the day is on end today too. I don't think they will come out, but I am here sir. Rest assured. Sir." Replied the spy.
"Okay!" Sighed Evan and cut the call. He sat there just looking out of the large glass window of his study.
The sky is clear as were his thoughts, it's been a whole day. He expected a reaction. But they were silent. Just then a knock came on the door. Secretary Shin came in and reported the day's work assessment and he mentioned the next's day routine for him.
"Sir what would be the time for the assessment meeting? Sir? CEO!?" Secretary Shin pulled him out of his revere.
"Uh! Huh!" Evan snapped.
"You weren't listening, waaahh!" Secretary Shin started wailing like a siren.
"Ah! Stop it. Rascal. Decide on your own. And stop being so friendly everywhere. You are too much." Evan joked with him.
"Okay sir. I am leaving." Secretary shin left lamenting.
Scene shifts to spies' car-
"He sat there growling, what's with each of them asking the same question 3 times. Uggh! I am done. Wait! Don't they live together? They can tell each other. Whaaa! God I am leaving this place after this job. He sulked."
"Ma'am it's been 4 days from that day, 3 days are left of your freedom from the deal and you are sitting blank here." Butler Samuel.
"I can't think anything." Ace.
"Me neither." Ria.
"Get me something to eat please. Not too oily." Sash.
"Huh! You are eating again." Ria.
"It's the 4th snack sash." Ace.
"You will go out of shape." Ria.
"I will work that out. Lemme eat. Ugh!" Sash.
These three had been like this since that day. Staring blankly, eating and lying lifeless. They are not afraid of the job they are afraid of what they would be asked to do.
As manager Kym came inside the house, lights were out and there was no sound. He went for the switch as he turned the lights on and turned around; he was shook to the bones by the three figures gaping into the infinity,
"Do you regret it?"- Kym.
"no." ace and Ria and Sash said plainly.
"Then live on girls. It's fine. I am right here. You can come back to me anytime you know." Kym.
"Yeah we know." Ria.
"Actually wait, what are we afraid of? Those brats? No way! I so want to forget this for a while." Ace.
"Let's go somewhere." Ria.
"I am up."Sash.
"Get your coats." Ace.
"Where are we going?" Sash.
"Just getting some air." Ace.
"Yeah! Let's go somewhere random." Ria.
As the three set out on foot the spy was left with no option but to follow them on foot. As they walked around Seoul's typical food market having snacks from roadside vendors, at last when they felt parched they entered a local bar. The spy was told to stay out of their way. Hence he resumed his position outside the bar. But outside the chilly waves of the dark cloudy night compelled him to enter the bar; the ladies were unaware of this arrangement, so they were just on their fun sprees of night. They had to leave the ideas of these rendezvous' when their own supportive organization turned against the Phoenix.
Disheartened they had to flee or else die. The protectors had turned into destroyers overnight. Their identities exposed, they were deemed dangerous for human population and hence were chased to be exterminated. They still managed to hide close by in Seoul. It's a big place, everyone is busy and situation is clear, that's what they thought. But here a new problem rose in front of them. A problem they were not ready for at all. Yet they felt a kind of light coming through the dark crevices shrouding these advancements in their lives. They had a very strong hunch that it's more to what we are looking at right now. But right now they were tired and that bar was serving just the right thing, drinks of course.
"Hey let's drink today." Ria.
"Yeah, I agree." Ace.
"I am shaken by you two, but Ok. No way am I declining. I need this too." Sash.
"Let's get drunk today." Ria.
Sash looked at her in disbelief. Then turned to the bartender and ordered the rarest of the orders they got on their menu.
"But, ma'am it can be really heavy for you." Bartender.
"Its fine, boy. Just give us what you got." Sash.
And thus started the drinking session.
It had been 3 hours since this started and the spy was now aghast. He was astonished by their capacity of drinking. "They can match the bosses seriously." He thought with a little smirk on his face. They had been drinking since 9 o'clock and it was almost 12 midnight, the peak of the visitors for the bar. He was simply waiting for his shift to end and hoping for them to leave soon. But, little did he know about the drama that could ensue.
On the other hand, the trio was not in their senses, cursing at their kidnappers, lamenting at their own life, the biggest woe of their life was an absolute absence of a relationship with any guy.
"Ugh! Guess I'll die single." Ria.
"I don't know anymore really." Ace.
"Not a soul that's male around me. Oh god where are you." Sash.
"God ain't listening to your shit. Fend for yourself!" Ace.
Just then sash grabbed a young man by the collar and pouted at him. "Be my boyfriend. I order you."
"Let him go. He is scared. Hahaha." Ace laughed drunken.
"Don't stop her Ace she is fending for herself." Ria said with a stern look and then burst out laughing.
As they let go off the boy and chattered along a voice came from nearby.
"Hey lady! Where are you staying tonight? Come to me my place is cozy." Guy 1.
"Bring your friends too." Guy 2 laughed.
"How much money you take?" Guy 3.
And the gang proceeded in taking steps towards them. They started getting close to them, which was unsettling for the spy as well.
He was in dilemma as to what to do as that they get saved and his cover doesn't blow up.
As the tension grew his hands reached out for his phone.
