Chapter 13 - CHAPTER -13- THE MAZE

" We have somewhere to be, I need your and Ji-chul's help.."

" Wha- ok fine, we will be waiting outside"

In-ha and Ji-chul are waiting outside, they see a car rushing towards them.

" Get in, fast!"

In-ha and Ji-chul get in the car and they both are quiet because they have never seen detective Kim with a serious face before. they reach Incheon port in 45 minutes, detective Kim rushes out of his car and starts searching for arsonist Park, In-ha finds him in a container and calls for detective Kim , arsonist ark had already died by the time they had found him, detective Kim calls the backup team and ask them to come in faster.

" In-ha, can you look into his memories?"

" But he's already dead, I don't think it will work but I'll give it a try"

" I don't think it's been long" Ji-chul says

" What?" In-ha asks

" We can still read memories after they are dead, of course not after a long time.... they're memories will take a bit time to leave the body."

" Then quick" detective Kim says

In-ha touches arsonist Park's hand and the memories are passed to her, She sees arsonist Park getting stabbed to death and also that chairman Shin was present there when he was getting stabbed. Just as In-ha was about to see the rest of the memories her face becomes pale and she falls onto the ground unconscious with her nose bleeding.

" In-ha! In-ha, can you hear me? In-ha wake up!" Ji-chul screamed in shock

" What happened to you? In-ha!" detective Kim said

Ji-chul carries In-ha and takes off to the hospital, detective Kim couldn't join him because he was supposed to be at the crime scene.

Ji-chul runs to the E.R with In-ha in his hands as soon as he arrives at the hospital, In-ha gets admitted and the doctor says that she needs complete rest, Ji-chul asked the doctor what the cause of her continuous nose bleeds and dizziness was, the doctor said that it's because she has been overexerting herself too much, he added that if she continues to overwork herself it could get dangerous. Ji-chul sits by In-ha's side for the whole night, he kept praying for In-ha to wake up and that she would be fine when she wakes up, Inha wakes up after 8 hours, Ji-chul calls for the doctor as soon as In-ha wakes up and asks him to check on her, the doctor comes in and checks how In-ha is doing, he said that In-ha will have to be admitted for a few more days as she had no energy in her to do anything, Ji-chul informed In-ha's grandparents that she was admitted in the hospital, her grandparents came rushing to the hospital as soon as they heard this. In-ha's grandmother scolded In-ha for not taking care of herself, She then cried saying that she will never be able to face her parents of something happens to her, In-ha glares at Ji-chul for calling her grandparents and assures her grandmother that she s fine.

In-ha's grandmother insists on staying with In-ha at the hospital so that she can take care of her, but Ji-chul steps forward and says that he will take care of her.

" But I have to stay with her, she is not going to take care of herself"

" I am not a kid grandma, I can take care of myself. If you stay here who is going to take care of grandpa and the shop?"

" Don't worry grandma, I'll make sure that she's ok.." Ji-chul says in an assuring tone

...

...

*at the police station*

The station is hectic because of the murder and no suspect showing up, arsonist Park's body was sent for a postmortem, detective Kim was waiting for a call from the forensics for further investigation. The forensics call him and tell him that they won't be able to do the postmortem today and that he will have to wait.

Detective Kim heads to the hospital to see how In-ha is doing, He sees Ji-chul on his way to In-ha's room.

" Ji-chul!"

Ji-chul turns as he hears detective Kim calling him.

" Oh! Uncle, when did you reach here?"

" I just arrived, I was searching for In-ha's room"

" I'll take you, this way..."

*In-ha's room*

" In-ha.... are you ok?" Detective Kim asks with a concerned face.

" Seeing that she's eating like a pig, I think she's fine now..."

*intense glare*

" I am not scared of your glares anymore.."

" Whatever!" *continues eating*

" What did the doctor say?" Detective Kim asks Ji-chul

" He said that it's because she is overworking herself too much..."

" I see.."

" I think it's because of reading memories.."

" What are you talking about?" In-ha asks

" Just think, last time also the same thing happened when you read my memory, this time not only did you bleed, you fainted too. I think it's better for you to stop reading memories.."

" I can't unless I catch that scumbag!"

" The doctor said that your condition could get worse if you continue to overwork yourself..."

" It's not like I will die." *doesn't care*

" I also think it's better if you stop.." detective Kim says

" There is no point in you both wasting your energy to convince me, cause you can't, I have set my mind on putting that jerk behind the bars, no one can stop me."

" Just do as you wish then!" Ji-chul says

" Why are you shouting, chill" In-ha says

" When did I shout?"

" I see, you have anger management issues" *laughs*

" Look who is working her mouth.."

" WHA-"

" Stop acting like kids both of you!"

They both stop fighting, Ji-chul sits in a corner sulking like a 5-year-old.

" Don't you want to know who killed arsonist Park?"

" Did you see?" Ji-chul asked

" Of course I did, what do you take me for."

" Who is it?' detective Kim asked

" That old fart, not exactly him but his secretary, he was the one who gave out the order though."

*sigh* " We won't be able to do anything to him, we didn't get any evidence on the scene and there were no fingerprints..."

" I think there is some evidence.."

" What?" detective Kim asks

" Before I fainted I saw a part of his memory where he said that the old fart wouldn't be safe after killing him...."

" He must have seen this coming, that means he was prepared... Now the question is that where he could possibly hide evidences"

" At his home?" In-ha suggested

" He wouldn't be that careless, and if he hid it at home, there is no point in us searching for it... chairman Shin's men must have already destroyed everything."
