I'm flipping through pages, about this notebook. I stole it, from their security office and I also stole the CCTV hard drive for evidence. I can be a good thief because It's till noon, I'm risking my life for this notebook. Honestly, I'm bored in this room, Rose not picking up my call, Ryujin busy with his mission, and my brother I don't know. But, his secretary said that he went to the uppers to get some supplies and I don't know what kind of supplies that he takes.
I put this notebook in my uniform pocket and I sighed while waiting for some 'visitors'. I looked at the books and I already read them all. Page to page, the reason I stole their notebook is that I'm searching for my brothers. But I know, they kept my brothers here. Because this the center when the chain command happened. I heard footsteps from the outside and I'm looking at my door, "you already awake?" I nodded and yawned, "you need mineral water?" I nodded, "yeah, and I'd like to bathe" honestly I haven't taken a bath since I got here.
"Your doctor is here, she will take care of you and you should help her! You promise with me you will take care of my daughter, if you break your promise, I will kill both of you" he gave me a glare and it does not scare me. Honestly, It's good because I'm in charge here, "okay. But I have a promise too" he looks at me, "clean clothes and a nice bath. I need them!" He nodded and I'm following him to his daughter's room. I hope Rose bought dr. Xuan Yi and I wanted to hug her, but.. I should hide my relationship with her, for our safety.
We both agreed, I will introduce her properly to my family and we will have a big dinner with her family and we will discuss our marriage, "so, you have a relationship with her?" I nodded, "She is my ex-secretary while she searches for some money for college" he nodded, "one day, my daughter will be an architect, if she survives. I will do anything for her" I'm looking at his back. What happened to you? You a great father, does the system fail you? I sighed. "What were you, before this?" He glanced at me.
"Lawyer" I nodded, I won't ask many questions, but for now... I will scout him for information. I'm looking at his daughter's room and I took a deep breath, "she's inside". He opened the door and I saw Rose and my brother, so this is what he meant searching for supplies. She smiled and I know, she wants to hug me. "So, here your doctor. And she will help you to save my daughter right?" I nodded, "yes, she will" I approached her and gave a smile, "so, how is your condition? Have you drunk your medicine?" I want to rip that clothes right now.
"I haven't drunk it, doc. Sorry, my medicine it's... gone?" She sighed, I know, just looking at her face and looking at her eyes, "so what she suffered?" I'm looking at The Chief's daughter, "I haven't been diagnosed yet, because we need a biopsy and several check-ups" she nodded. I hope my smart glasses can help her. "Can you bring this child to the hospital" The Chief pointed his gun at her head, really Rose? You are a former police officer, right? Why do you let the enemy identify you? I cleared my throat and looked at the Chief.
"So... what you said that again!?" I sighed, "we here, to save your daughter" I glanced at her, "she wants to do some test, do you have an x-ray here? If you don't have that thing, sir. We cannot see what is inside your daughter's lungs. It will kill her" he finally put down the gun and I'm again taking control here. "Okay, okay, my bad" we sighed in relief. "So, what do you guys need?" I'm scratching my head, "we need a hospital, but. I want to make a call from my company to bring medical equipment, I need your permission for it" he glared at me.
"Fine!" I nodded and he gave me his phone, not bad for a former lawyer and the rebel Chief, I called my base using my number and my dad picked up, "hey, Mr. Kim. Can you bring us our new medical equipment in 4 hours?" I'm walking to the corner of the room and looking at the wall, I put my hand into my pocket. I felt a scrap of paper inside of my pocket. "You can send them in 7 hours?! Why? Is there any problem with the shipment?" Honestly, my dad, picking up but he said, 'how many posts are there?' but I replied with it. "Can you send it here before night? No?" I'm looking at my watch and the Chief starts pissed.
"Can you send Emergency Surgery equipment in 3 hours? Because we need surgery now, don't forget, microscope" I sighed in relief and took over the control again. "Okay, see you in 2 hours" I hang up the phone and I give back his phone to him "it's simple, right now, we need a surgery room and I want a sterile room, like a janitor room?" He nodded, "so when the results come?" I'm looking at Rose. "In a 1,5 hour, if you don't spook us, we will work faster and you will get the result for 1 hour" he sighed and nodded.
"Okay, you want to take a bath right?" I nodded, "come with me!" I smiled because I'm finally having a bath, and I followed him to claim my prize.

"Here" I gave him their notebook and my brother read it carefully. It's better to discuss what we do next, we should first step ahead from them because when you have one step ahead your enemy will be two steps behind "where the hard drive?" I gave it to him, "I called your assistant and she said you wanted to buy some supplies at the uppers, but why were you here?" He patted my shoulder, "helping our brothers and you" Rose came with a tray full of tea.
"You should open a scrap of paper after we can move Han Ji to the uppers" I drank the tea and nodded, "what if..." I'm looking at her, "we adopt Han Ji?" I smiled, "sure, it's okay. I wanted to ask you in the first place, anyway" She hugged me tight "your smell is good" I'm looking at my brother who is playing with his phone, he still didn't realize that we looked at him, "what? Don't mind me, I'm fine. I'll always be a third wheel anyway, right?" I shook my head "Naomi it's fine, she's kind" Rose slapped my head.
We heard a loud gunshot and my brother gave us a sign to act like we're professional, I heard footsteps and he opened the door, "the package and your room are ready" I'm watching him "but.." I nodded, "who will hold the scalpel?" I pointed at Rose, "she is the hand of an angel, on her hand, and some an act of god.. she can make your daughter's dream come true" she's gonna kill me, I'm looking at her and she's smiling and I know from the way she looks at me with that horrifying smile. She likes Pennywise.
He wants us to follow him, I'm looking at his hands and its blood, "so.. we should treat your wound soldiers?" He shook his head, "he's dead" ``do not panic, "one of my guys told me, that you have big fans at the upper doctor" she just smiled and shook her head, "not really" it's a sign from Ryujin that they almost got caught. "So, how about your assistant, is that your girlfriend?" My brother took a glance. "No, I have a wife. But we got divorced" he nodded, "yeah, when you are poor, no job she will leave you. You are grateful to be alive at the uppers, not throwing like trash" I think... I know who he is.
"So, how about you Mr. Lobak? Do you have a girlfriend?" I'm looking at her, "I... have a fiance, and she is the president's daughter" he opened the janitor room and he gave me a glance, "I'll be watching you" I smiled and nodded, "thanks" I patted his shoulders and he closed the door. Rose slapped my head several times without mercy because she was the one who held the scalpel. "Hey, look at me" she looks into my eyes.
"I won't watch this" I sighed, "I do the surgery, and you just sit and watch her heart rate, oxygen rate, and my brother will anesthesia Han Ji" she nodded, "let's get going, okay?" I'm looking at my brother and he holds his phone, "hey Han Ji?" She smiled, "I want you to sleep okay? It will not hurt, and trust dr. Xuan Yi and I, okay?" She nodded, "if I sleep, can I see my mom?" I shook my head. "But you can play with dr. Xuan Yi after this, how?" She giggled and showed her uncompleted teeth. Han Ji slowly closed her eyes, and Rose slapped my head, and we started the biopsy.

I'm sitting on the floor and I heard the door open and he looked at me, "my daughter has lung cancer." I stand up and look at him, "I know it's hard for you like I said to you before. If you wanted her to recover we should do some chemo, radiation, surgery, and targeted therapy. It's very expensive, sir. Insurance can recover but, for you maybe it will cost you around a hundred thousand dollars or more" he sighed, "but I suggest you should do some herbal, I do not promise you anything it will works" he nodded and patted my shoulder.
"Thanks" he walked out of my cell and left me alone with 7 piles of books, does he want to keep me forever? I should get out of here, my goal is to save the rest of my team and Kevin, patience it's the key. I'm sitting on the floor and thinking about my next move.
