Back in the lab, Jennie watched as Lisa carried the half completed bomb out of the closet. No wonder he woke up so late; he had been up all night working on this.


Luckily, God was on Jennie's side and Jisoo had told her the meeting details for the bomb meeting first so she could intercept it. Even if Lisa was to build the bomb now, it didn't matter because he wasn't going to make it to the meeting at the right time. Jennie breathed a sigh of relief at this thought.


In fact, she suddenly had a better idea. Why couldn't she complete the bomb and sneak out to the deal herself? That way, she could guarantee the capture of Niran.


After all, they couldn't arrest Niran unless he committed a crime on Korean soil, and if Lisa didn't go to the deal, then what evidence could they hold against him. She couldn't let go of this opportunity. She wanted to protect Lisa, but she couldn't let Niran go.


Jennie took a deep breath and walked over to look at the bomb. She then picked up a few pieces and started attaching them.


Lisa smiled. Good, this woman was finally giving up.


The couple worked laboriously on the bomb until dinner came around and Jisoo arrived. While Jisoo was keeping Jennie company in the lab, Lisa quickly popped upstairs to make a phone call.


"Meeting time and location has been set..." he reported over the phone.


...


Meanwhile, at the SPU headquarters, Moonbyul was gathering a troupe for the next day and briefing everyone on the operation.


"Tomorrow, at 8pm, we will be raiding a cabin where international fugitive, Niran, will be undergoing a deal with national arms dealer, Lalisa. Under national law, we can not charge Niran for any offences that he hasn't committed on Korean soil, so we will have to wait until an exchange takes place before we run in an arrest them on the spot. Our aim is to catch two birds with one stone, but if we fail, our main priority is Niran," Moonbyul explained. Of course, he had no idea that Jennie had given Lisa the wrong meeting details and was planning to go herself.


Moonbyul then showed a map of the meeting location and marked out all the spots to hide as well as the formations they had to follow to enter the cabin and guarantee no one escaped.


Everyone nodded their heads in understanding. This was going to be a huge arrest and they were ready for it.


...


That night, Lisa and Jennie completed the bomb just after midnight.


As they climbed into bed, Jennie turned to Lisa and asked, "Regardless of how the deal goes tomorrow, can you promise me that you will retire from the arms trade after this?"


Lisa looked into Jennie's eyes. He could tell how desperately she wanted to keep him out of trouble. "OK," he replied.


If things went as planned tomorrow, he was originally planning to retire anyway. He had been in the gangs since he was 18; it was about time he enjoyed the normal life.


Jennie was surprised to hear Lisa's simple response. She initially thought it would take more convincing. So, she subconsciously hugged him.


Lisa was surprised by this sudden gesture as he hugged her back. "I can't wait to live a normal life with you," he whispered as he watched Jennie nod off to sleep.


However, Lisa did not sleep that night. He had a lot of things on his mind and wanted to cherish every moment he had with Jennie. He actually had a lot of secrets hidden from her, and amongst them, was the uncertainty of when he'd see her again.


Jennie thought it was as simple as preventing him from going to the deal and they'd be able to live a normal life together, but things were a lot more complicated than that.


There were a lot of things he couldn't reveal to her, including the fact that Jisoo had returned to the lab after she fell asleep last night and already told him the correct meeting details...or the fact that he deliberately told Jisoo to give her the wrong details.


Of course, Jennie didn't realize this until she woke up the next morning and discovered Lisa was gone. At first, she thought he had gone upstairs to make a phone call like he did sometimes, but as time ticked by, she had a bad feeling.


Eventually, her gut told her to check the storage closet. As soon as she opened it up, her heart sank. It was only 10am in the morning, but...


Lisa was gone...


And the bomb was gone too...
