THE ACE AND HIS SECRET WEAPON (MinSung)

FORTUITOUS BRIGHT LIGHT III

Yonyue ran towards the cabin, where Seungyol was working.

At the same time, Lucas was also running towards Sujin, who was resting in the one of the VIP rooms in a luxurious hotel.

“Mr. Bae…” Yonyue reached at his cabin.

“Madam Bae…” Lucas reached Sujin’s room.

“What is it? Why are you running?” Sujin asked while Lucas was sweating hard.

“What happened?” Seungyol asked to Yonyue. He was calming his breath.

“Han Jisung is missing.”

Both Seungyol and Sujin stood from their seats. Sujin was shocked while Seungyol’s face already changed into pale white. He kicked the computer on his table which fell down, creating a massive explosion sound.

“How can that be?” Sujin sit at the chair.

Soohyuck turned to Lucas, “Where is Mark?”

Sujin reached at Hela’s house. It was big, huge to be exact. Her parents, Lousie and Daniel Yoon were also sitting there. Sipping their coffee.

Hela was surprised, but frowned at the same time. Daniel patter her shoulder and they walked inside, since it was a family matter. But Lousie sat there and comfort Sujin.

“Don’t worry. She must be there.” She said.

“Mrs. Bae didn’t leave her room after having breakfast. Every servant was damn sure about that. None of them saw she go out.” Lucas explained.

“It is right. I keep monitoring her with maids. Then how it had happened?” Sujin wondered.

“Tell Mark too question the maids.” Soohyuck ordered.

Mark walked as he carefully observed the maids that were standing in front of him. They were eleven of them and twelve security guards for Bae mansion.

Lucas were the head of them guards while Mark was the main guard, which guide Lucas too. Without his knowledge, a leaf didn’t fall in this compound.

“Explain to me every bit by bit.” Mark said.

Seungyol was sitting behind him, on the couch, staring ahead, really furious and can be burst out at any time. Yonyue was standing near him. None of the maids dare to lie infront of them. They were so scary.

“After having breakfast, Mrs. Bae didn’t leave her room. When it was ten or something, she saw her, still in her room.” One of the maid said and pointed a young maid who was shivering now.

Mark looked at her, “Did you go to their room?” he asked and she nodded. “Why?”

“I got there to get the cloths for laundry.” She answered still shivering.

“What was she doing that time?” he asked.

“She was drawing; it was a picture of a landscape. I even complimented her and she said thank you to me. There was nothing suspicious about anything in there.” The maid said.

One of the guard showed the picture that Jisung had drawn back. It was incomplete. That means he was doing before he was missing. It was already evening now. They found Jisung was missing at the lunch.

“We have checked the cupboard, everything is there. The money, her iPad, cell phone and everything.” One of the guard said.

“All security cameras were on and working. None of them have a visual of Mrs. Bae going out or another person coming in.” another security guard said.

“Did anything unusual happened?” Yonyue asked.

“Unusual… No, nothing like that.” One of the senior maids was thinking while rubbing her temple, “I don’t remember anything.”

“When did you realise she was missing?” Mark asked.

“After I heard a scream.” One of the maids said.

“Who screamed?” he asked.

“Mint.” She said.

The girt who named as Mint, was standing at the corner. She was already scared to death. When she met with the piercing glare of Seungyol, she felt her knees gone weak. She was young and pretty but elder for Jisung for sure.

“Miss, if you speak the truth, we both group have a nice settlement.” Mark said as he cross tied his hands, ready to listen her.

“I-I woke up and saw the time was already two in the afternoon. Then I ran to the kitchen, took Mrs. Bae’s lunch and got to her room, but found no one.” Mark hummed and listen to her. “I saw the unfinished painting on the bed and colour stained brush at her door frame, but no one inside. It made me panicked and I screamed.”

“Why did you went asleep? Don’t you know, sleeping is not allowed at working hour?” Yonyue asked rather harshly making her flinch.

“I-I am sorry. I f-felt a h-headache and fallen asleep. Didn’t know when.” She said.

“You sleep too?” another maid said.

This made a confusion on both Mark’s and Yonyue’s face. “What you mean by you sleep too? Did you also got asleep?” she asked to her.

“Yes.” She said.

And the maids all nodded also the guards too. This made them three surprise. Before Seungyol could going to attack them, Mark continued.

“Did you all had something common?” he asked.

“We all… we don’t remember.” One of the guard said.

“Was it that girl’s birthday today?” Mint asked.

“Oh yes, one of the maid’s birthday was today. She gave us a dessert before we fell asleep.” The another one said.

“Where is she?” Mark asked.

“Where is she?” they all whispered each other as they looked around.

But there was no one. Seungyol closed his eyes in distress.

“What’s her name?” Yonyue asked.

“Minju.” One maid said.

Mark was joining all the points in it. He has a thought and it got completed, now.

‘Everyone had fallen asleep at the same time, same manner… Jisung was missing when she was doing something… If everything is here and only the person is missing, then…’

“She got kidnapped.”

Seungyol widened his eyes in shock. It was not Jisung himself this time, but someone who planned very well, executed it. Yonyue was also surprised.

“I am sure. It was a planned one.” Mark concluded it.
