"Hyung? What happened?" I hear Jimin's soft, groggy, and confused voice bringing me back to the present. "Hey Jiminie... You were shot. You don't remember?" His normally happy, and relaxed face is looking stressed. "I don't Hyung... When did this happen? Who did this?" I see him getting panicky, so I run my fingers through his hair and try to calm him. "Hey... It's alright... I'm sure you'll remember, but don't stress." He is looking like a lost little boy, but he nods and closes his eyes.

Thinking he's asleep, I stand to leave. "Wait... Yoongi hyung? Don't leave yet... Are Jungkook and Sophia alright?" I look back at him, worried about talking here. I sit back down, and whisper to him instead. "yes. everything is alright. we haven't really had news except they're settled." Sighing in relief, Jimin visibly relaxes again. "Hyung... I remember the dinner... The videos... After that it's blank... What happened? P-please tell me..." A small sob escapes his mouth and I bring him into a hug. "I don't know really... You went home, and something happened there... You were shot. Noone is talking..."

I hold onto my friend who cries in frustration at not remembering. He wears himself out and falls back into a fitful sleep. I didn't have the heart to tell him that he's been in a coma for 3 months. While I'm watching him sleep I get a notification on my phone.

[She's talking! We need to warn Jungkook asap. They're going to release an amber alert!! Come to the safe house!>

<On my way! Jimin's awake!]

[Great! Did he say who shot him?>

<He doesn't remember anything yet.]

[Alright... Get here soon!>

I put my phone back in my coat pocket, and head to the door. A nurse comes in as I'm about to leave. I ask her to let Jimin know I'll be back later if he wakes again. She smiles and agrees before she goes to check my friend's vital statistics.

While driving to the safe house, I think back over the last couple months. Aera has been under a constant barrage of drugs that alter her perception of reality. At this point she believes she has been beaten, raped, and tortured mercilessly. It's interesting to me just how powerful the mind is. Noone has actually harmed her in any way outside of the drugs. When I think of the how Sophia was hurt, I feel no sympathy for making Aera believe these things.

The house burned down, and her father has been looking everywhere for her. Thankfully, we've managed to keep our activities under the radar. The challenge will come if we release her. She could tell her father who had taken her, and we will all be in danger. I'm not scared for myself though... My friends are always my first priority. Speaking of friends... I hope we can stop the amber alert. My father had sent a message to Jungkook a few weeks back, warning him to keep an eye on the news stations where they are, so hopefully they are being careful.

Sophia

It's been almost a month since I've joined the University. I have become pretty good friends with Jake, much to 'Justin's' annoyance. Jake likes to be flirty, but he's harmless. I've told him that I'm in a committed relationship, so he knows that his advances won't be answered. Once we established that, we've become close. He and I study together in the library when we have a free period, or I'll go to the cafe while he's working, and study there.

Interesting fact... If you want great sex... make your boyfriend jealous. I've always been more than satisfied with our love making, but lately it's been different. He is quite dominant and likes to mark my neck so people will know I'm taken. I don't mind the hickeys so much, but occasionally it's embarrassing if he gets carried away. 'Justin' has also refused office meetings with Julie twice that I know of. I'm thankful, but that's not stopping her from making advances on him.
