"We're here for our appointment." Moo-won flashed his police department business card, looking into the Professor Yang's security camera, "We're the journalists here to interview you about your Professor of the Year award."

Under the light of the entryway, Professor Yang stared at the business card through the security monitor. He looked back at Sol A quietly, "It's the police. They seem to be detectives."

Sol A prepared herself as Professor Yang opened the door, happily welcoming them. "I didn't think anyone cared anymore about little awards like these!"

Moo-won was surprised at how well Professor Yang played along. Tae-pyung chimed in as he kicked off his shoes, "Of course, Professor Yang. Everyone loves to read about the successful. It's very inspiring." When the door closed, everyone changed their expressions. It was then Moo-won noticed Sol A. "Well, I'm glad we don't need to make two stops. You both are here."

"I'm not sure what this is about, but come in. Would you like some coffee?" Professor Yang escorted them into the main room as Sol A stood, bowing slightly to greet the men.

"Sure. That would be nice. We have quite a bit to discuss regarding Han Joon-hwi."

"Have a seat. I think we're all concerned. He's been missing since he was discharged." Professor Yang lied. He didn't like it, but like Sol A, they needed to feel them out first. Sol A sat back down, more at ease that Professor Yang was following the playbook. She studied them wondering if this was them--the ones after Joon-hwi. The ones who showed up at his place just the night before, making them run what seemed for their lives.

"What do you want with Joon-hwi?" Sol A crossed her unhospitable arms unsure if she'd even believe the answer, they gave her.

"You both haven't seen him...at all?" Moo-won took a cup of coffee from Professor Yang and sighed. He sipped the hot drink, and sat it down on the coffee table.

Sol A fed them the story. "No. I was hanging out at his house hoping that he'd show up when some goons tried to break in. I was so scared I ran out the back. My mentor—Professor Yang picked me up in the middle of nowhere."

"Now that you both are here, considering how many Sol A said were trying to break in; it doesn't seem like a home invasion. It seems more like a raid now. Was it your team—Did Joon-hwi do something we should know about?"

Tae-pyung attempted to use his Busan charm, "That's unfortunate. Maybe you two aren't as important to him as we'd hoped." Sol A cringed at his statement, but she wouldn't budge her body language. She'd learned over the years from defending clients not to give anything away. He continued, thinking maybe his next line would make one of them perk up, "We received an order from President Myung-gu to protect him."

"President. Myung. Gu?" Sol A thought for a moment. It was a possibility since he may have somewhat caused an international incident, but she's not supposed to know that. Sol A was more transparent than she thought. That momentary invasive thought gave her away. She was not surprised enough the president was looking for Joon-hwi.

Professor Yang could not cover up Sol A's lack of shock. He became both prosecution and defense-- "Why is our president looking for Joon-hwi?"

Moo-won leaned his body over the arm of the couch, relaxing a bit. He looked over at Tae-pyung grinning, "They seem to be very protective of Han Joon-hwi, don't they?"

Tae-pyung nodded, "Very much. How should we—how can we get them to help us?"

Professor Yang could hear the sarcasm in their voices. It was clear the two detectives knew something about them. He looked at his cell phone. They must have gained access to his text message log. He looked over at Sol A who had yet to identify the two men weren't tossing them a line to bite. They already had the fish on the hook and just needed to reel it in.
