Insight into the chapter

"Seems like you have been caught red-handed! Will it tear you and him apart?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"That is why I am offering half a million dollars to anyone within our organizations who can find this Nam Gil's daughter and bring her to me. And with any luck, we can use her to access the common fund once more."

They are after me.

Suddenly, a voice from behind startled me.

"Eun Jeong, what are you doing?"

"Jungkook!"

My mind raced at what I just heard, your expression was one of pure shock, your body language tensed and was ready to spring.

He caught me red-handed. And now he is going to kill me. Or worse, he will hand me over to Chan Yeol Jeon to be tortured. Not going to happen.

Instinct took over and I bolted for the entrance hall. I raced through the main hall, now emptying out as people filtered into their seats in the theater. You ran hot on my heels.

"Eun Jeong!"

Good thing I had a plan for this...

Running past several waiters and towards the bar, I deftly snatched an empty yet hefty bottle that had at one point held champagne.

If it does not work as a blunt weapon, I could always smash it and use it like a knife.

Clutching the bottle tightly, I heard you calling me.

"Come on, Eun Jeong! Stop!"

"No, Jungkook! You are going to try to kill me!"

The few people remaining in the main hall turned their heads to watch as I hurtled through the main hall away from you.

"I am not going to hurt you, Eun Jeong! Just talk to me!"

Talk? I am pretty sure that is a code for putting a bullet through my skull.

As I ran, I looked around for exits, attempting to remember my strategy.

"Come on, Eun Jeong... Think, think, think."

Right! The stage!

Running into the theater and through the crowd filing into their seats, I vaulted up onto the stage, navigating quickly through the actors' backstage to the nearest door marked 'Exit'.

Spilling from the backstage exit and out into the dark alleyway, I looked around to get my bearings, when a voice from behind startled me.

"Piccola!"

I turned on my heels to face you. For a moment, we both stood frozen. Your expression was unreadable.

"Piccola, I need you to tell me what you think you saw back there."
