Chapter 43 - It's ok.
After a couple of hours, Yunho and Changmin got tired of just sitting in the car and they spread around, trying to kill time until Siwon would appear. Yunho went to the street where the lawyer disappeared. He was about to go near the trash cans again when the door suddenly opened and he was face to face with Choi Siwon.
-Jung Yunho?
…
Both men stared at each other in surprised silence. Yunho’s mind was frantic trying to figure out what to do. “Shit! What now? What do I do? Will he suspect me? Oh, crap. Come on, Yunho. You can’t act for shit but you better deliver an Oscar worthy performance. He can’t realise you were after him.” Siwon was immobile, narrowing his eyes at the cop in front of him. Yunho was the first to react.
-Mr. Choi, I’m so glad to see you.
Yunho pulled the man to a darker corner, pretending to watch over his shoulder to make sure they were alone when in fact he was just making sure Changmin was out of sight. He might still have a chance to trick Siwon but not if he saw Jaejoong’s bodyguard as well.
-What is going on, Mr. Jung? What are you doing here?
-I’m trying to get evidence on Kim Jaejoong and his mafia connections. I think he has something to do with the kids used in this place.
Siwon’s face remained expressionless. Yunho could only wonder at the lawyer’s surprising self-control.
-Can you help me get inside? Wait… what are you doing here?
-Mr. Jung, will you calm down. I have been doing my own investigation since you suddenly disappeared and no one seems to be taking over Taemin’s case. Am I right in giving you the benefit of the doubt regarding the accusations of murder against you?
-I killed no one.
-I thought so.
Yunho suddenly had the impression that Siwon was referring to when he had been blackmailed to kill Jaejoong. He breathed deep willing himself to remain calm.
-This is indeed a prostitution club but I could not get inside to see anything. They know who I am and don’t trust me. Guess being a known lawyer and Jaejoong’s ex isn’t the way to get mafia men to trust me.
Siwon studied the man in front of him. At the mention of his past relationship with Jaejoong, he could swear a muscle tightened in the cop’s face. However what caught his attention were the marks all over the man’s neck. Hickeys. Someone had gone to town on the man’s neck. Last he heard of the cop, or anything related to the cop, was when he had to tell his man to go away from the cop’s apartment when someone from Jaejoong’s house called. Which meant the cop had been captured. So what was he doing free and here of all places?
-You shouldn’t be here. It’s too dangerous. I almost didn’t escape alive from that man’s house. I doubt his mafia friends will be more amiable.
-What happened to you?
-I was held prisoner by Jaejoong for some time. I only escaped recently. I was afraid to contact you. I’m sorry. I was just afraid you’d go all lawyer on me and report me to my ex-colleagues since I’m now a wanted fugitive. Besides I was framed for that murder and someone was trying to blackmail me. My life is in danger. But I am still trying to find Taemin since I know Jaejoong doesn’t have him as well. I’m glad to see you got over your fear and are also trying to find something to use against these men.
-Well, I can’t let Jaejoong get away with everything he has done. Can you accuse him of holding you captive?
-With what evidence? Do you think you can get me inside this club?
-No, I’m sorry. I have no idea how to get you inside.
…
Changmin was returning to the car when from the corner of his eyes he caught sight of two men hidden by shadows. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Yunho calmly talking with Choi Siwon. Different crazy thoughts raced through his head. He even wondered if Yunho was actually working for Siwon before dismissing that idea as insane. He wished he could just walk up and beat the shit out of the bastard but knew it was not wise. They needed to get evidence to put him behind bars and get as many with him as possible. The bodyguard heard the noise of a car approaching and hide out of sight watching as Siwon’s car slowly drove to where the lawyer was.
…
Yunho caught a glance of Changmin hiding at the same time he saw Siwon’s car returning. The lawyer gave him a card with a personal number and said his goodbyes saying he had to hurry for a trial. The cop couldn’t decide if he was relieved or annoyed. With the last bit of control he could muster he said his own goodbyes promising to contact the lawyer if he got any leads.
As soon as the car turned the corner, Yunho allowed his legs to collapse on him and slide down the wall to the floor. Changmin raced to him, face twisted with a menacing growl.
-What the fuck, Jung Yunho?
Yunho hide his face on his knees. He didn’t want to think of how wrong things could have turned out. He realised he was shaking. Changmin squat near the cop, noticing the man was staring at his shaking hands.
-Did he suspect you?
-I don’t think so but I’m not sure. Changmin, he’s so… dangerous. He’s a psychopath. He didn’t even got nervous, he was just calmly talking with me. I guess I should be glad he was in a hurry to leave.
As Yunho looked up to Changmin telling him what had happened with the lawyer, the bodyguard suddenly noticed something that he had stopped paying attention to.
-Fuck!
-What?
-Your hickeys! Did he saw them?
Yunho’s hand flew to his neck. His story of being a fugitive wouldn’t agree with recent hickeys. Both men stared at each other reaching the same conclusion. They had no hope that Siwon had been fooled.
…
Jung Il Woo and Kim Soo Hyun sat on their own desks discussing the next move.
-What now?
-We test Rain’s theory to see if we really found out who the mole is.
…
Back in Taemin’s old neighbourhood, Jonghyun was still avoiding Lee Jong-suk who kept trying to talk with him again. The suspicious young man couldn’t bring himself to trust the cop, even knowing Jong-suk was one of the good guys. In one of the detours he took to accomplish getting away from the cop, Jonghyun was about to turn a corner when he heard Jong-suk talking.
-I can’t get him to trust me. This is so frustrating. He’s always been this suspicious and proud. I tried so many times to get him away from this life but he just won’t listen.
-Judging from what you described, he’s probably the reason a lot of these kids are alive.
Jonghyun peaked around the corner and his eyes confirmed what his ears told him. Jong-suk was talking with that bodyguard from earlier, Park Yoochun.
-How are we going to find Taemin before Siwon does? If Siwon is the one responsible for all that you guys said, if he finds the kid first then…
-We will find him first because we have to. We already failed with Ren once. We won’t fail again. Siwon and his men are going to end up behind bars, everyone knowing how they are scum.
Jonghyun was surprised that the cops were working with some rich guy’s security team and reluctantly impressed with Park Yoochun’s determined voice but he was much more surprised at the name Siwon. Was it the same Siwon he was thinking about?
-Who is this Siwon you guys are talking about?
Jong-suk and Yoochun turned shocked faces on him but Jonghyun pressed on.
-Who is Siwon and why is he after Taemin?
Yoochun sighed and faced the young man with calm eyes.
-Choi Siwon, a known lawyer and a rather rich guy. He’s smart and is never caught, always with an alibi ready for anything. He nearly killed Ren and he’s been obsessing over Taemin the same way he used to obsess over Ren. Look, I know you have no reason to trust us but we need to get a lead on where Taemin might be.
-Siwon… Oh, God!
To the two men’s surprise, Jonghyun let himself go down on his knees looking absolutely shocked.
-You know him? - Asked a worried Jong-suk.
-I… Yes. I’ve been with him on occasion. Taemin wouldn’t survive him. He… he wouldn’t. He’s the one…? No wonder Tae was so scared. So paranoid. Oh, God, no! You have to help him. If you really can please help him. Oh, God, I think I screwed up. Oh, God, no!
Yoochun kneeled down and put both his hands on Jonghyun’s shoulders.
-Calm down. Between my team and the cops we will catch him. I promise. I don’t make promises if I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep them but I will keep this one. Now talk with us. Let us help.
The young man looked up at the bodyguard and found calm determination staring back at him. This strange man made him want to trust him. He turned to Jong-suk who gave him a nod.
-I got a call from Taemin to meet with him tomorrow. But… but I was with a client at the time. I had no choice but to answer the call right there. The only place with cell reception was by the window and I was just so relieved to hear from him. I didn’t think, I didn’t know… I have no way of knowing if he heard the phone call but now I can’t help fear the worst. Min Joon-gook…
-Guy with a snake tattoo on his neck?
-Yes. He… He’s one of Siwon’s men. I thought he was sleeping. I said Tae’s name out lout. What if he heard me? Oh, God…
Yoochun wanted to hug the desperate kid but found himself at a loss, not knowing how the young man would react to being hugged. He looked at Jong-suk who had no such doubts and just pulled Jonghyun into his arms.
-It’s ok. It’ll be ok. We’ll protect you two.
…
Yunho and Changmin returned to their car to go after Siwon. Just as they reached for the doors a voice was heard behind them.
-Hands up!
They both turned slowly only to find themselves staring at several armed men scattered all around, effectively cutting any possible escape route.
-Our boss wants to have a word with you.
Outnumbered, they had no choice but to obey, their hands reluctantly going up.
…
Inside Jaejoong’s office, the business man was still struggling with the new information provided by Yunho and Changmin. Now that the work day was over and he no longer had anything else to distract him, Jaejoong just kept going over and over what had happened. All the time they thought they were keeping close surveillance on Siwon, the man had been tricking them. Effortlessly. That was the worst part. It had only taken a decoy car. Overwhelmed with anger, Jaejoong took out his frustration in the nearby flowers vases. Junsu and Jun Ki exchanged looks but keep quiet, waiting until their boss calmed down a little. They were interrupted by a phone call. Junsu’s eyes went wide.
-Siwon is here! - Said Junsu with an almost whisper.
-What? - Asked Jun Ki completely taken aback.
-Jae! Jae, listen to me. Siwon is here. He’s asked to see you.
Jaejoong stopped in the middle of throwing yet another flower vase and tilted his head at Junsu as if his bodyguard had taken leave of his senses. Then the business man was almost hit with a panic attack when he understood Junsu was serious.
-Get me a gun.
-Jae, I’m armed. That’s already enough. You know there are no guns in the office. And Siwon would never carry a gun to come here. Let’s just find out what he wants, ok?
Jaejoong was shaking as he walked to the elevator doors, his men silently following him.
-Let’s see him downstairs. The other bodyguards are there.
Just before the elevator doors opened, Jaejoong whispered to his two friends.
-Please stay close to me and don’t let him get near me. I haven’t seen him since the day we found Ren.
Junsu grabbed his boss’s shoulder and squeezed hard.
-It’s ok, Jae. We’re here. You’re ok.
