After hearing the man on police uniform complain about his cigarette pack, Itaro Shunji smiled as he asked
"Shouldn't it be right for you to be worried on whether you will leave here alive?"
"I would have been worried that I will stay too long without my cigarette while dealing with you but you already destroyed them, come at me," the man in police uniform said as he readies his katana.
"Haechi!! Haechi!! there came a voice screaming as the man in police uniform look behind him to see another man on police uniform racing up towards him.
"we will be ending this here for now, I sure will be seeing you soon enough," Itaro Shunji said as he darted to a corner after also seeing the policeman coming over.
"what where you doing here alone? the new policeman asked the first policeman whose name was Haechi.
" they are human traffickers, see that girl came running to me and saying how they want to take her," Haechi said as he pointed out to the girl that has been hiding at the corner all this while.
" Even if they are traffickers, it is not right to cut them down, you should apprehend them," The new policeman that just came said with a frown.
"They where coming towards me, I protected myself " Haechi said.
" The police gun is giving to you for a reason, you could have pulled the trigger and easily apprehend them, this won't really go down well but never mind.
Hey girl follow me, you can patrol a bit more, Haechi" the new policeman said as he turned to leave .
" I think it will be better I take her home since she just witnessed a gory sight," Haechi said as he went forward and picked up his cigarette pack to inspect if he will still see any that is still in good shape.
"No , I should take her home," The new policeman said.
"I want to take full responsibility of my actions, I don't want to drag you in," Haechi said as he throws back the cigarette pack while walking towards the girl without letting the new policeman to say more.
" You know that a**hole really destroyed all my cigarette, Haechi said as he walked forward while the girl follows behind him.
**********************************
After Haechi walked a bit with the girl he asked.
"Why didn't you run??
" Hmm!!" the girl answered.
"Why didn't you continue running when I told them they can come take you.
" I placed every hope of escaping on you so I lost all," the girl answered
"Then why didn't you escape when I was battling them?" Haechi asked.
"I think it would be better staying and seeing the outcome than escaping and running into the remnant of their group, if they have in someway killed you then I Will continue my attempt of escaping but if they did not I will naturally follow you out," the girl said.
"Isn't that some risky decision?? also I thought you said you lost Hope when I said they can take you ?" Haechi asked.
" I lost Hope cause I made my plan on how to escape on seeing you, you letting them take me was out of the plan," the girl said causing Heachi to give her a weird look.
"What was the plan?" Haechi asked.
"You decide to protect me, I wait for the battle to finish to know whether I will keep escaping or follow you out, if I try fleeing while you fight and get caught by the remnant of their group while you survive here I will be taken back without anyone knowing, but if I stay back and watch the outcome of the battle, I will be left with more survival chance cause you will be taking me out if you survive and if you don't, it won't be too late to continue escaping," the girl said.
"Why do you think it won't be too late? Haechi asked.
"I trust myself outrunning them as long as they are behind me, I am only afraid of running into them," the girl said.
"Hmmm , I see , I really don't trust you that much that is while I opted to send you home myself, if you really got other plans.... well I am really not the righteous type that won't cut down a lady, Haechi said with a sadistic smile.
the girl seeing Haechi countenance immediately turned silent as she raised her footstep to walk before Haechi.
"I should walk at the forefront if you are really going to follow me till I get home," the girl said as she leads the way.
**********************************
back in the police station, the policeman that meet up with Haechi could be seen moving with anxiety written all over his face as he taps gently on a door.
"Come in," a voice came from inside before the policeman pushed the door open.
"What is it, a policeman that seems to be in his late fifties asked as he put down the pipe he was taking a wisp from.
