Jennie
An hour later Bravo and Delta team were seated around a table at Knight Security's office. Alpha team had shown up in a van to take away the three men from the club, taking them to an undisclosed location for interrogation under Don's orders.
The girls were settled and resting in the sleep rooms choosing to bunk up and sleep together in the same room, all except Jennie who was meeting with the teams to discuss the logistics of what they needed her to do. Lisa pulled Jennie's chair close to her and rested her arm on Jennie's leg, rubbing her thumb back and forth in a soothing motion as they all sat around the large conference table.
"How's Ji-eun?" Bambam chuckled as Hoony returned to the conference room after changing himself and Ji-eun into fresh clothes. "Girl drank way too much on an empty stomach, but she did propose to me before she puked her brains out so I'm gonna take that as a win." Hoony said with a laugh.
"Proposed to you? Jesus she must have been hammered then." Sehun joked.
"I can only imagine how that proposal went." Marcus chuckled.
"Well when she realised it was me holding her hair and not Jennie she looked up at me and said will you go ahead and agree to marry me like right now, right this second? Obviously the thought intrigued me even if she was slurring every word that came out of her mouth. So I asked her - what's the rush? And she said because you might not want to marry me after tonight... then immediately emptied her stomach into the bushes." Hoony was laughing and shaking his head at the drunken antics of his girlfriend, but it was blatantly obvious how much he adored her.
"So did you agree?" Mark asked after he finished laughing.
"Of course I fucking did and if I thought she was even half way sober I'd be shopping for rings as soon as the sun comes up." Hoony said with a grin.
Don entered seconds later taking long heavy strides with files in his hand. To her surprise when he passed by, Don was an inch or two taller than Marcus and that was considering Marcus was the largest man Jennie had ever been around.
Does this man ever sleep? It's almost 2:00am and he's conducting business up here like it's completely normal.
Jennie leaned over to Lisa and whispered in her ear. "How tall is Don?" Jennie asked. "Not sure. 6'8? 6'9?" Lisa whispered back. "And does he ever sleep?" Jennie asked in amazement. "I doubt it." Lisa chuckled. Don passed behind her, placing a cold electrolyte drink on the table in front of her without saying a word before taking a seat at the head of the table.
"Alpha team tells me you guys had an eventful night." Don said, opening a file and skimming the contents. "You alright Jennie?" Don asked, lifting his gaze briefly. "I'm okay, Thank you. And thank you for this too." she said holding up the drink, receiving only a nod and wink from Don before he resumed his reading.
"Well it looks like your father's assets legally passed through probate court, effective today. What you might not know is who stands to take over if anything were to happen to you."
Please say Jin.
"Who?" Lisa asked flatly.
"Kwon Jiyong, alias G-Dragon."
Jiyong. He has finally revealed his true colours after pretending to take care of my family. It was all for his own benefits after all.
"Motherfucker." Bambam growled.
Jennie's blood ran cold as she realised all Jiyong would have to do is have her killed and he'd inherit it all... every bit of her father's empire.
"So what are you saying? Those assholes tonight were there to carry out a hit on Jennie?" Hoony asked.
Lisa flexed her shoulders back and cracked her neck at the mention of a hit being ordered on Jennie as if she had to physically move her body to maintain control of her anger.
"Alpha team doesn't seem to think so." Don said.
"But that's something we need to be prepared for." Lisa said in a low voice, squeezing Jennie's leg.
"There's a stipulation here that says assets will not be passed if foul play is suspected." Don added.
"So Jiyong wouldn't get a thing if something happened to Jennie and he was considered a suspect?" Marcus asked for clarification. Jennie stiffened at Marcus' words and it was noticed by every man in the room. Lisa kicked Marcus from under the table which put a small smile on Jennie's face. These guys weren't use to having strategy meetings with the client sitting in the room. She knew Marcus didn't mean to scare her and it was obvious once he picked up on her uneasiness that he was internally scolding himself. "Shit Jennie, I'm sorry. Nothing's going to happen to you Doll. That's not what I meant by that." Marcus corrected himself.
"I know what you meant Marcus. I understand that you guys aren't used to having to monitor what you say in here. It's all planning and strategy. I get that." she said, giving Marcus a smile.
"So what's the plan sir. I know Jin has planted seeds with the mob bosses and is waiting for Jennie to sign over Richard's empire to him. Is that plan still in place and if so when do we leave?' Bambam asked.
"Plan is still in place. Jennie will sign over Richard's company assets to Jin who will assume control and continue to aid Alpha team until they have enough intel to take down as many mob bosses as possible with Jiyong and Seungri as the main focus. After that we'll execute Jiyong and frame him for the intel leak to the international intelligence agencies who will move in to make arrests." Don confirmed.
"I'd like to send two teams for this. It'll be short and sweet, but this job needs added protection." Don added.
"Delta team would like to assist Sir." Sehun said firmly.
"Negative, you're a man down." Don answered without hesitation.
"Alpha team will move in and assist."
"Understood Sir." Sehun said through gritted teeth, clearly irritated with Don's decision, but accepting it without question.
"When do we leave?" Hoony asked.
"I've got you on a flight tomorrow night." Don confirmed.
Tomorrow night? I'm going back to South Korea tomorrow night... to be around people who want me dead...
Jennie swallowed hard against the panic that was creeping up her neck, feeling her pulse pick up as her heart started to beat furiously beneath her ribs.
"I know this is a lot, but we're going to take care of you sweetheart. You are going to be surrounded by family who would kill or be killed for you baby." Everyone at the table nodded along with Lisa's words as she soothed Jennie.
"But none of this happens without you baby. Are you still on board? Because you can tell us if you aren't." Lisa asked, clutching Jennie's hand with one of her hands and rubbing Jennie's thigh with the other.
"I'm on board. I trust you." She said with a smile that was meant only for Lisa.
She trusted everyone at that table including Alpha team, but she trusted Lisa most of all. Jennie trusted that Lisa would take care of her and protect her with her life if necessary and that Lisa would never let anyone lay a finger on her and she trusted that Lisa would never ask her to do anything that she didn't truly believe Jennie was capable of.
If Lisa thinks I can do this... then I can do this.
