Dahyun and Momo went to work, Momo packing her glock and extra shells with her, just in case.

Momo reassured me that nothing was going to happen, with her flirting with Dahyun or anyone hurting her.

I decided to help Nayeon try to figure out who was following us the other night. I didn't have anything else to do, and since they could be following me, she thought it'd be helpful for me to be in the loop.

"We have it narrowed down to three mafia groups." Nayeon informed me as we walked into her office.

Handing me three files, she began to go over each one.

"The first group is called Dream. They consist of seven girls, all skilled in jiu-jitsu. They're ranked as one of the most dangerous mafia groups in Japan purely because they show no mercy."

Looking through the file, I could only think of how scary it would be to encounter these girls. They could kick my ass before I even knew they were kicking it.

"The next group is the Blackout Girls. Four members, all third-degree black belts in karate as well as highly skilled in weaponry. They'd give Momo a good run for her money."

I mean, statistically speaking, we do outnumber them. But so did those men in that warehouse and we still killed them. So I guess I shouldn't underestimate them because of the number of members.

"Lastly is the most feared mafia group probably this side of the Nile. They call themselves The Villains. I've met their leader, Soyeon. She may seem really nice to your face, but as soon as you turn your back, she will stab you."

Nayeon paused before continuing, "Their weapons of choice are swords. Every member is skilled at kendo, so if you see a katana, run."

Great, just what I need. A fear of swords.

I sighed, looking over the three files I had scattered over Nayeon's desk. Each group looks ruthless, but I could see nothing that would point to wanting to hurt Dahyun or I.

"Do any of these three groups have reason to be in Korea?" Looking up at Nayeon, I could tell that she was concerned. She was trying really hard to hide it but I could see it in her eyes.

"Not that I'm aware of. Unless the reason is you or Dahyun."

Thinking for a moment, I thought back to how she mentioned yesterday that Jeongyeon had heard that one of them was in town.

"Did Jeongyeon hear which of the groups was in town?"

Nayeon shook her head, rubbing her forehead out of frustration. "No, she just caught word that a mafia group was in town. This makes things harder because we can't exactly call them and ask them if they're in town. We're not exactly friendly with other groups. Keep your friends close and your enemies overseas is our motto."

I mean, it's effective.

Biting my lip, I continued to look over the files, trying to see if maybe there was something in one of them that could tell me who was here.

"Wait." Nayeon started, looking as if a light bulb had gone off in her head. "We have an informant in Tokyo, we could call her. Maybe she could figure out which group is currently out of Japan, telling us which group is over here."

Furrowing my brows, I questioned in a hesitant tone, "How do we know that we can trust her?"

The leader bit the inside of her cheek, "She used to work alongside the gang. I don't think she would cross us. Or, at least, I hope not." She sighed, clearly not confident in the idea, but knowing it was our best shot at figuring out which group was in Korea.

Nayeon began heading towards the door, speaking as she walked. "I'm going to go find Jeongyeon, have her call Ryujin."

Jeongyeon is our spy, she does all of the research, contacting, and filing. I respect her for being able to handle all of this.

She stopped in the doorway, turning towards me before instructing me to go to the store and help Momo keep an eye on Dahyun. The more eyes the better.

Getting my stuff ready, I soon began my journey to the convenience store.

Nayeon told me to take a gun, just in case. So I grabbed one of Momo's pistols on the way out, shoving it into the back of the waistline of my jeans.

The whole walk there, I was keeping an eye out for anything unusual. Someone standing in a strange spot, someone wearing an awful lot to cover up, or even someone following me.

But, I saw nothing. Which was very unsettling because it only meant one thing.

Whoever is in town, is here for Dahyun.
