Author's POV


Jin was beaten again. With dried blood in his mouth, the door creaked open. Forced on his knees, his hair was pulled to look at the figure standing before him. His eyes grew wide when he saw Seo staring back at him.

"Seo?" He whispered. 

The shock that she was there caused him to reach for her for help. Hearing the clicks of several guns, she held up her hands for them to put away their weapons. She kneeled to meet his gaze and lifted his head.

"Jin, tell me the truth. Did you put a hit out on me?"

Shaking his head no, she felt that he was lying her. Taking a deep breath, she headed to the door. 

"Why did you sign Ji'nya out of school?"

Slowly, she turned around and took a deep breath. Explaining that she signed Ji'nyah out of school because Meghan guaranteed that Jin would divorce Dae. If we took Ji'nyah hostage, he would sign divorce papers and kill Dae and her baby. When she dropped her off with Meghan, she heard Ji'nyah crying to go home. 

She went back to tell Meghan that she didn't receive her money for signing Ji out of school. They got into an argument and Meghan mentioned that Jin put a hit out on her. Upset, Seo demanded her money. Ji'nyah pleaded with Seo to take her home but she refused and left.

"What about the marks around her neck." Jin asked.

Before leaving, she looked over her shoulder and said: "Meghan strangled her so I left." Hearing about what happened to Ji broke his heart. Blaming himself that he didn't act fast enough, the tears continued to fall from his eyes.

"You gave my baby to Meghan and left her there?"

"You gave my baby to Meghan and left her there?"

"Just accept it. She's gone."

At that moment, the small sliver of hope that he had for his sister wasn't enough. No matter how much he wanted her to change and see people as people, he had to realize that you can't change people. No matter how much you love a person, they have to be the one to make the necessary changes to be a better person. She couldn't look at him in the eye so, she turned on her heels and walked out the door while Jin watched. Thinking that Jin wanted her dead, she had a bodyguard for her protection and paid him well.


That evening

Eating at a nice restaurant, Seo went to the bathroom while the guard stood in the hall way. Todd and Dae were waiting for brothers to arrive with Seo. She was definitely at an disadvantage. Mossy, Daniel and Jonathan waited to capture the bodyguard first since he was going to be tougher to catch. Once the bodyguard is hit with an tranquilizer dart, the lights will go off.

Running to the men's bathroom, Mossy made sure to bump into him really hard. The bodyguard, named Big Kev fell to the floor and quickly, Mossy was able to shoot him without him noticing. Acting drunk, Mossy wobbled in the men's restroom. Reaching for his cell, he waited for Daniel to hit the lights. Dizzy, big Kev leans against the door frame and before he hits the floor, Mossy dragged him in the men's room so that Daniel can help him carry big Kev to the truck.
