33: Blood

A/N: Hello! As the chapter title implies, there are some pretty bloody scenes coming up! I'm not a huge fan of gore myself (so it's nothing much worse than what you've already seen) but there is a particular scene near the end that I put a [Warning!] on.

So please just be aware of the [Warning!] and feel free to skip the paragraph when it arrives. 

I apologize to anyone who may have been bothered before I put up the warning. 

Otherwise, please enjoy!

A soldier bent to the lobby floor, inspecting a large dark puddle. He pressed two gloved fingers into the puddle and they came away sticky and red.

"They must have engaged the first wave of forces here." The soldier behind him commented.

"No... I think it was just two fighters."

"Just two people left all this blood?" The soldier spread his arms out at the carnage. "They couldn't have just walked away from that. Where are the bodies?"

"Dunno. But it's not our concern right now. Just document it in the report for the new commander."

"Yes sir!"

27th Floor

The tall YG employee's uniform was disheveled and dusty but its owner had resolutely managed to keep her name tag hanging onto her lapel.

"And you said that BLACKPINK was headed to the 51st floor?"

Aneya nodded mutely, clearly intimidated by the soldiers surrounding them.

The provisional commander of the troops was careful not to let any emotion show but chuckled inwardly.

I can't blame her.

The soldiers dispersed throughout the floor may have looked familiar to the YG employee but the weapons in their grasp along with their hardened gazes were sure to worry a civilian.

Imagine how it feels having to give them the orders.

The captain bent down nearly double to whisper in the commander's ear, "There isn't much time then. We have to keep moving."

The commander turned to the troops, "Alpha and Zeta, we need to get to the 51st floor now. We don't know what BLACKPINK has in store for us so we'll have to take the stairs."

Two sections of soldiers saluted and assembled into a rough formation before heading for the stairwell.

"Gamma, head to the security center and make sure that our path is clear. I already announced it on all channels but I want to ensure that the rest of YGE knows we're coming. Don't want any friendly fire."

"Yes ma'am!" The Gamma squad saluted and took the stairwell on the opposite end up towards the 30th floor.

Even in the aftermath of their arguments and fights, Jennie had never grown tired of that passionate look in Rosie's eyes.

Jennie knew that Rosie was far more damaged than she let on just as Rosie knew Jennie was seconds away from passing out.

It would take a minor miracle for the blonde to even be able to hang on the wall with her own weight, let alone pull herself up one handed.

But there was something about that look of determination in Rosie's eyes. The confidence that she could and would do whatever was needed to get things done.
