I opened my eyes and I felt my left arm cramped, I'm looking next to me and I sighed a relief. It's Rose, I thought I would get tortured again because I suggested expensive medical treatments. "Hey, wake up, my arm is cramped" I put her head on my pillow slowly and covered her body with a blanket. I'm looking at windows and I should try to break them without noise. I knocked on the windows, it's cheap glass and if I break it, it will make a loud noise. I'm looking at my watch and it's 03.20 am, "hey? Are you okay?" I'm looking at Rose, why she is not using her clothes and just using a bikini. IT'S A LOT OF MEN HERE! She approached me and kissed my cheek. "You should wear a blanket" I tried to hold this temptation.
"What happened? You know my sleeping habit, Gab" I giggle and nodded, "I.. don't know, I want to adopt Han Ji. But the other side, I want to catch her father, I just.. wanted her not to hate her father about who he is" she rubs my shoulders and she smiles, "what?" She shook her head and rubbed my cheek. "nothing. I'm just surprised, with what you said and I'm glad that you are still a human" we heard footsteps from the outside and I quickly grabbed the blanket and covered her body.
Ryujin opened the door and looked at me, "the chief wanted to see you, Lobak" gladly he did not look at Rose's outfit right now, "now?" It's still dawn and I want to go back to sleep again. But, it's suspicious, "I got your back" I'm looking at Rose, "be careful, I'll wait" I nodded. "Show me the way" I followed Ryujin to his office and I looked at my surroundings, "Yo, Xin Jun" I'm scratching my hair.
"Can you help me?" Look, it's so suspicious. I followed the other guy until I'm in front of his office, he knocked on the door "sir, dr. Lobak is here" the chief opened the door and let us into his room. I'm looking at him "whisky?" I shook my head, he grabbed a whiskey bottle and drank it. "So, to the point please, I'm sleepy" I sit across his chair and I'm still taking over with him, "Xin Jun, it's your friend?" I shook my head "if he was my friend, he wouldn't do that. a lot of my friends are from the uppers" the chief nodded. "But I'm still suspicious, with him" I sighed and try not to look too suspicious.
"You want me to know who the traitor is?" Calm, "Your guy who asked Xin Jun to help him, I caught him trying to kill your daughter" he looks furious, "do you have proof?" I nodded, I should sacrifice it. I will make it again later, "I found a wire in his pocket" he punched the table and looked at me. Honestly, I'm scared, but I should hold it. "How you can.." I'm looking at him, "he meets you in the hallway, right?" I nodded, "you can ask him" I sighed and I felt sleepy.
"It's late, what you wanted to ask, anyway?" I'm looking at him, "do you have an alternative to treat my daughter?" I nodded, "but it's not a standard treatment and has a lot of risks" he still thinks about what I said. "I want to hear it first" I took a deep breath, "acupuncture, dietary supplements, massage therapy, hypnosis, and meditation. That's a complementary treatment and it's used in addition to standard treatment" gladly he gave me medical books and I should make contact again after this.
"The second is..." I should be looking intimidating ''special diets, megadose vitamins, herbal preparations, special teas, and magnet therapy. But, they both have risks for your daughter's life" he stands up and walked to the corner of the room. "That bitch, if she not gave her smoke. She will not suffer from this" I heard him mumbled, "I can help you, I have a hospital " he looked at me and I approach him, "let your daughter goes to the upper" he shook his head. "No, she will be captured by the border and never come back! And if she stays at the uppers, that bitch will take her!" I nodded, "I can help you..." he beat me and I don't know what happened next.

"Gab? Lobak Gabriel? Can you hear me?" I opened my eyes and I saw Rose with my blurry face, where Am I? It hurts, his punches really hurt, "h-hey, are you okay?" I hold her hand and put her hand on my chest. "Here?" I nodded, "my ribs" she helps me to sit and rub my rub, "are you okay?" I shook my head, "what happened?" I sighed and I told her the whole story, "we can 'kidnapping' Han Ji" I shook my head, "I can't do that to Han Ji" I hold her hand tight, "we should find another way, to bring Han J. But, the chief said, Han Ji, got sick because 'that bitch'" she nodded "and 'that bitch' is refer to his wife or his girlfriend" I sighed.
"Okay, how about his last job?" I'm scratching my hair. "Lawyers" Rose gave me her tablet, "who using the tablet now" she punched my arm, "just.. looking at what I found" I'm wearing my glasses and scrolling the page. "It's a lot of firms, but some of them are still standing still" Rose looked at my bowl, "can you eat first?" I'm looking at her, "have you already breakfast?" She shook her head. "I haven't," I nodded, "so, let's eat together." I gave her a tab and picked two spoons, "no, it's yours, I..." I shook my head.
"We eat together" I hold her hand, "I love you, and I don't want you to get sick" she smiled and she looks into my eyes, "I love you too" we almost kissed because my 'third wheel' brother "oh, Am I interrupting something!?" I just shook my head and I saw what he brought, "dad sent Special-Ops to attack but, he said.. we should gather complete information about him" I sighed, "we don't have much time, Gab. We bring that kid and the rest of your team" it's a tough decision, I should make a call.
"Give me 3 days, three of us can do that" I give my brother a USB stick and I'm looking at him, "but you injured" I nodded, "let's play smooth, you know what happened right? At his office at dawn?" He nodded "but I doubt he will let his daughter" I know, it's extremely difficult. "But I tell him the risk if he did alternative treatments," he growled.
"Emergency escape road? You already found it?" I nodded, "there is a window in the torture room a.k.a my cells, I can break it, but it needs decoy" he nodded, "it's gonna be the most expensive operation" I sighed and I'm looking at Rose. "You want to join?" She nodded. "What should I do?" Well, we should play smoothly and I'm looking at 'leftovers' materials. Maybe, I can make something. "Convince the chief to change it too expensive treatment, and get into my bills. How much are my expenses?" Rose gave me her notebook.
"It cost you 890.000 dollars. that includes the taxes, and I already called Ellon Musk and he said it's a gift for you, but.. he said the car cost 6.9 million dollars" I'm looking at Rose and smiled, "buy his 70% stocks and called him for meeting" Rose rubs my hair, "after this mission you can call him" I chuckle and nodded. Sure" I'm looking at my brother, "my task?" I rub my chin, "I saw a building next to his HQ. But I think we are not far from the city right?" My brother nodded, "you should check if that building is empty or not, you can ask Ryujin to accompany you. And I... will make something useful from 'leftover' materials" he nodded and patted my shoulder.

I heard footsteps coming and hid the devices and the chief opened the door and looked at me furiously, "so, you change your mind?" He nodded, "when she picked up?" he looked at my eyes, "tomorrow" he nodded, I feel like... I know him. "Are you Mr. Lee?" He shook his head "I don't know what you're talking about" I guess, I had him. He walked out the door and I held his hand, "can we talk, it's like you new recruit right?" He looked doubtful and nodded, "don't worry I'm a good guy" I heard he got called from the chief.
"Sorry, I should go" I sighed, "if you wanted to know who he was? I can provide you an answer because I can help your family to live at the uppers" I patted his shoulder and smiled, "now go" he got out of my cell and I got my keys, "let's see" I'm searching for this room key and lucky for me, I hold it. "I should duplicate it" I walked to the machine that I made, this old printer can duplicate anything and I cut it by myself.
I really wanted to know something, I wanted to save other people and I saw a light from across the building and I got a message, I'm looking at my computer and smiled. Ultimate Luck in action, right? I'm looking at my watch. There are 7 hours left, I took a deep breath and I looked at my watch, "I can make you, but she will be pissed at what I did to you, Rolex." I did some hacking and several minutes later, the electricity overpowered me. FYI, Rose brought Han Ji first and I opened the door. And lock it, I'm hiding behind the wall.
I'm looking at a lot of rebels and I should get out from here undetected, if I'm waiting for a decoy, it's impossible. I should get out of here, but I've already found where my brothers were kept. Because the important thing for us right now is to re-group and we should pick what the best strategy is. "I'm looking in the security room and I saw nobody in there. I hope I found a gun. "Let's check his cells" I hid under the desk and waited for those guys to get out from this security room. I should get out from here, as fast as I can.
I'm breaking the window and I'm looking outside, "it's not too high, but I'm still scared. "I get out and I step on the roof? What kind of office is this!? It's slippery, so be careful. I took a deep breath and I hope my dad brings my gear and my sniper. Gladly, this room is soundproof. I jumped to the ground. and I'm landing on a pile of corpses. I want to take a bath, and my ribs still hurt. I'm looking up and I sighed in relief, Their electricity power came back on, I checked my duplicate key and I smiled.
I heard a gunshot and I should quickly get out from here.
