Ji-Sook stood in the night wearing her dark blue robe, her eyes searching the brightly light roads from the cars all the way down the hotel.

Jimin was beside her drinking a glass of tequila with his usual sour expression. Soojoo was inside sleeping on the bed from their session.

Then one of her men she had sent to spy on Lisa came. "Ma'am...we just got word that Lisa is trying to leave the country." Ji-Sook chuckled.

"Let her go."

Jimin nearly choked. "Let her go?"

Ji-Sook looked at him. "Do you even know why she's leaving?" She looked at the spy. "Let her first tell me her reason then I'll decide whether she can leave or go to hell." She drunk her glass and banged it against the glass counter.

"Now let me go change and meet my best friend."

At around 1:00am, Lisa got in a taxi and quickly told the driver, "Charles De Gaulle Airport. Quickly." For 15 minutes of the drive, Lisa was a bundle of nerves. Her eyes constantly shifting out the window to see if she was being followed. She drummed her fingers against the small suitcase she packed beside her.

She opened her phone and her anxiety went away. It was picture of her Roseanne laughing widely and Lisa staring at with her heart in her eyes. Lisa smiled and felt a calm come over her. I will finally be with Rosie. And get to live a life with her far away from dangers.

The car stopped and she looked up. This isn't the airport.

They were stopped in a dark parking lot that was separate from everything. The driver got out and locked the car. Lisa banged on the window. "You motherf—! Open the car right now!" She pulled on the handle desperately when 2 cars came into view.

Lisa gulped as a very familiar silhouette stepped out of a large SUV.

Ji-Sook stood in signature dark blazer and pants with her high heeled boots. Her hair pulled away in a low ponytail. The driver threw her the keys and Lisa felt sweat and dread overcome her as Ji-Sook sat in the car. Lisa moved the suitcase so that there was room and stared at Ji-Sook,w ho hooked her arm around the cab seat and was leaning towards Lisa.

"Lisa...I've know you for almost 7 years. Why are you among this decision all of a sudden?" Lisa didn't meet her eyes and tried to stop her hands from shaking.

Ji-Sook bent forward and continued. "Love. Escape. Lies. Anyways...I can tell that once you've decided to leave, no one's going to stop you." She sighed as Lisa met her eyes.

"Good luck. I wish you a very married life." Ji-Sook patted her on the back. Lisa frowned at her. This doesn't make any sense...shouldn't she feel betrayed?

Ji-Sook shut the door and Lisa quickly reached forward to turn the edge on so that she could go around and drive away when she heard a ticking sound.

A sound all too familiar with her earlier days of working with Ji-Sook.

The sound of a bomb. Lisa closed her eyes and thought of Roseanne as the car blew up. A raging storm of fire as pieces of the car flung away.

Ji-Sook stood next to the car and Jimin. Jimin grinned at her and Ji-Sook watched with a neutral expression as her friend died.

4 months later....

Ji-Sook walked into a bar with Soojoo dangling onto her arm. She wore a navy blue pantsuit, her dark hair curled in waves as she approached Oh Yeong-Cheol, a very argued for arms dealer. She came to sign a contract with him regarding a big contract that would be good for her and the Devil.
