AON: All Or Nothing

Magic

Chapter 4

Once again I was in this same waiting room of this hospital. I paced back and forth waiting to hear about the outcome of the Vice Presidents surgery.

CL sat stiffly on one of the waiting room chairs faced screwed up into a frown. She was pissed because the vice president was injured and the suspect escaped. The security and police had looked all over for him but he seemed to disappeared like magic.

I was equally upset. I was charged with protecting him. I was supposed to be keeping him safe and he got hurt on my watch.

The doors to the back surgery room opened and Sehun came striding forward in his full doctors scrubs. "How is he?" I asked.

He didn't answer right away and I feared the worst. I had failed. The vice president was dead.

"Can I talk about this with them all here?" He asked. I realized then that Sehun must be totally confused. He didn't know where I worked he only knew that I was with a bleeding and dying Vice President of our country.

"Yes." I motioned toward CL. "I'm a special government agent and this is my team leader Lee Chae Rin." Sehun and CL bowed to each other.

"Everyone here has clearance to hear this but not anyone else unless its cleared with me first." CL said.

Beside me and CL the only other people in the waiting room was Dara, Bom, and the VP secretary Lay.

He nodded. "The Vice President has survived and is in recovery."

I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank god.

"However he has very serious injuries and will have to remain in the intensive care unit. I assume only certain people should have access."

"Yes. Family only. I will call my superiors to get the approval list." Cl told him walking off cell phone already attached to her ear.

Lay cleared his throat. " I'm going to get some air." He walked away stiffly. The poor guy was still shaken up.

"Can I talk to you alone?" Sehun asked.

I told Dara and Bom that I would be right back as I followed Sehun to a more private area were there was no one around.

"What is going on?" He said as soon as we stopped.

"I cant discuss that with you. "

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. "This is crazy. Do you know their saying on the news that the VP was rushed to the hospital after having an heart attack? That was no heart attack, theitr was blood all over. He had two bullet wounds."

So the government was all ready doing damage control. They wouldn't want the public to panic because their vice president was almost gunned down. But there must be more going on, I knew there had to be for an official statement to have been made already.

"This is all confidential stuff Sehun. I cant just tell you."

He eyed me over not saying a word. Then he turned to the deserted reception desk and grabbed a card and a pen. He scribbled something on the back of the card and handed it to me. "That's my number. Call me."

Then he just walked away.

I was stumped. Did he want me to call him just because or he wanted to know more on what was going on with the vice president's case?

Or was there a more personal reason?

I hoped so.

I walked back to the main waiting area.

"What was all that about?" Asked Bom indicating in the direction I had just come from talking to Sehun.

I shook my head. "Nothing. He's the doctor who treated Naeun."

Dara continued looking in the direction he had disappeared in."Real lucky he happened to be their with his doctors equipment." She said.

It was lucky, otherwise I had no doubt that the Vice President would have died in that stairwell.

CL came walking back with a serious expression on her face.

"We need to be back at the office. Some new intell came in."

Back at the office we were all gathered in the conference room. CL was standing up pacing back and forth. "Where the hell is Chanyeol?" She asked angrily.

I bit my lip. That idiot was always late and now was not the time because CL was not in the best mood.

The door burst open and in came Chanyeol with a donut hanging from his mouth. "Sorry Sorry." He said with his mouth full. CL glared at him.

"Sit. Now!"

He sat down beside me and whispered. "What crawled up her butt?"

I narrowed my eyes at him. He shrugged and went back to munching on his donut.

"Now that everyone is here." She said glaring at Chanyeol one more time. "I can begin."

She walked to the front of the conference room and pressed the big screen. An message popped up.

This is only the beginning. More will die. More chaos will ensue. He wont stop until his objective is completed.

The Chinese ambassador, watch him. -Rebel

"Someone hacked into the head of Security in the blue house and left this message." Cl said.

My mouth was hanging open. This was unreal.

First the vice president and now the Chinese ambassador.

What was his plan? What was the reason for all of this and how many where on his list?

"Is this a threat against the vice president or a warning? I mean who is this rebel guy?" Dara asked.

"We don't know. We figure either someone on the inside of this operation is deciding to feed us information or this could all be a distraction." She flipped the screen again and another image popped up. It was some type of document.

"This was discovered on the Vice Presidents computer. It seems that he has been in contact with someone only identified as The Leader." CL zoomed in on the document and it showed an email.

In the email the Vice President was speaking to someone called The Leader about operation endgame.

"All of the rest of the emails are in code so we don't know what is being said. Bom were going to need you to work on decoding it."

Bom nodded.

"But from what we could see and the fact that he needed it to be in code is suspicious and makes me thinking everything, his shooting, this Rebel, is all connected."

I agreed with CL. Things weren't right and and once the vice president woke up he would have some explaining to do.

"We need to speak with his secretary." CL said.

"Lay. The last time I saw him was at the hospital." After he went for some air he didn't return before we had left.

"Chanyeol. Find him."

He nodded at CL and left the room.

Maybe once Lay was found this mystery of the vice president and this leader would be solved.
