Moo-won gave Duk-hoo the green light, "Put the security cameras on loop, we're heading in." Both were about to reach for the car door handles when Duk-hoo yelled through Geon-woo and Moo-won's earpiece. "Wait!" Geon-woo flinched and rubbed the back of his ear, looking at Moo-won as they both did what they were told. Duk-hoo continued, "We've got someone who just connected to the IP. Hold on...Someone just entered the password."

"Where? We're out front. We don't see anyone." Moo-won focused up ahead along with Geon-woo.

"It's downstairs where the cameras aren't located. Exit point out of the basement. Boss, whoever it is just got into the secret room Miss Kang mapped."

Moo-won and Geon-woo looked at each other. It's Joon-hwi. "Duk-hoo, is the IP address a separate issue than the person down in the basement?"

"It's got to be. Their location is blocked. Yeah."

"Okay, lock the basement. In case whoever is on the IP can override our looping, do not let whoever is in the basement into the house. In case it's Joon-hwi, we can't let them see Geon-woo and Joon-hwi together."

"Got it, Boss. Looping it, and I'll change the password, now."

"Good. Keep your eyes on the exterior and roads. And get that location!" They got out of the vehicle, making their way across the street, "We're making our way to the gate, now. You can unlock the front door." Moo-won looked to Geon-woo, "I'll go down to the basement, while you get what we need."

Geon-woo nodded as they entered the house and parted into different sections of the house.

Inside the basement, Joon-hwi was out of his janitor's uniform to make sure he wouldn't give away where he's hiding out. He kept a black hat down low to hide even more of his face as he attempted to open the door from the basement into the home. Joon-hwi's hands were shaky, but after the third time, he realized he wasn't entering the wrong password. It had been changed in between the time it took for him to enter the secret room through the tunnels and get to the door into the house. Both passwords were the same. He entered it just fine for the first door. Now, he couldn't get into his house because whoever was after him, were probably inside coming to him. It's something he didn't consider. Entering the password from any door would alert them that he was back. Joon-hwi turned flipped on the security cameras. All nine screens showed no one moving through his house. He stepped back, thinking. He quickly moved to the exit to enter the password to get out, but it failed. Joon-hwi's heart raced. He was now a sitting duck, trapped inside the secret room.

Joo-hwi removed his hat, throwing it onto the floor and held his head, "How could I be so stupid!" He quickly rummaged through a few well-kept containers for the gun his Uncle kept for added protection. He didn't want to harm anyone, but he also didn't know what they'd do to him. He loaded the gun, and stood ready to shoot.

Duk-hoo disarmed the door, opening the secret room. Moo-won stood back with his gun pointing to the floor, keeping himself protected by the wall, unsure if it could be -- "Joon-hwi?"

Upstairs, Geon-woo rummaged through Joon-hwi's things, finding his suitcase where Sol A told him it would be. He paused as he heard a voice that cried out, "I have a gun and I'll shoot. I swear to God! I'll shoot if you don't open the exit, now!" Geon-woo started to head out of the room when he heard Moo-won pleading, "Joon-hwi, I'm Detective Jang Moo-won, and I'm here to protect you."

"Bullshit!" Joon-hwi screamed in a frantic, desperate voice.

"Boss?"

"Get what you need! Everything's fine," Moo-won answered him. It was hard, but Geon-woo had to trust his boss had the situation handled as he focused on collecting as many of Joon-hwi's items he could. But, as he listened, his body froze.
