Lisa immediately reached under his pillow and pulled out a hidden gun. Because of the situation he was in, he was always on high alert, so an abnormality like this was extremely serious. Sure, it could have been a normal robbery - robberies weren't uncommon in remote areas like this - but, there was a huge possibility that someone was there for him.
At that moment, he heard some tapping on the wall beside him. It was coming from Mi-Yeon's room.
Lisa listened carefully and quickly realized it was Morse code: "Stay. Minnie and I will check."
Lisa quickly tapped back: "OK." He then heard Mi-Yeon's room door open, followed by light footsteps across the corridor.
A moment later, there was a loud scream from the kitchen followed by a gunshot. Lisa quickly recognized that the scream belonged to Mrs. Martin.
"Lisa, where are you?" a man's voice yelled in Thai.
"I think you got the wrong place. We don't know any Lisa," Mr. Martin's voice replied.
The old couple were the first to wake up and check the noise, so they were also the first to face the intruder.
Lisa realized, at that moment, that Niran must have figured something out by now and sent someone after him. Worst of all, he was rich enough to hire anyone.
"Lisa! Come out or I am killing this lovely couple. You heard it, I have guns," the intruder warned.
Lisa couldn't let two innocent people die because of him, so he took a deep breath and stepped out of his room.
As he walked down the corridor, he noticed Mi-Yeon and Minnie hiding on the two sides of the doorway. They hadn't revealed themselves yet.
Mi-Yeon looked at Lisa and shook her head. Their mission was to protect him, so she couldn't risk him getting hurt.
"I'm counting to 5, Lisa. If you don't show yourself, Mr. and Mrs. Martin here are dead!" the intruder warned again.
Lisa carefully approached Mi-Yeon to check the situation.
"It's Gogh," Mi-Yeon whispered.
Lisa and Mi-Yeon were both familiar with this man that went by the name of 'Gogh'. He always had his face covered by a surgical mask, but he was easily identified by his missing ear. He was a famous hitman in the underworld, well-known for killing his targets so cleanly that it was almost like an artform. In fact, whoever he killed would disappear off the face of the earth, never to be seen again. Not even a body was ever found. Because of his unique features, he was given the name Gogh, after the famous painter, Vincent Van Gogh.
"5!" Gogh counted.
Mi-Yeon looked at Lisa. It was three Interpol agents against one hitman; they could easily rush in and apprehend the guy. Unfortunately, this hitman also had two hostages and they were currently tied together, with a gun pointed to each of their heads. Not only that, Gogh was currently using them as human shields. What were they to do? They were Interpol agents; they couldn't risk civilian lives.
"4," Gogh counted.
Lisa knew he had to get the hostages away from the man first.
Gogh was a clean and meticulous man. Even if he was hired to kill Lisa, Lisa knew one thing for sure: Gogh would never do it on the spot. After all, no one knew how Gogh killed and disposed of his targets because he never did it in front of other people.
So, the only thing Lisa could do at that moment was hand himself over. He could, at least, put up a fight if there were no hostages around.
Lisa looked into Mi-Yeon's eyes and Mi-Yeon shook her head. She knew what he was thinking, but if he stepped out, it would be suicide.
However, Lisa was determined. So, he walked into the kitchen with his hands raised above his head. "Let them go, Gogh," he said.
Gogh laughed. "Impressive, you know who I am," he said. "In that case, get in my car, let's go for a drive."
He then led Lisa out to his car while still using the couple as a shield. As soon as Lisa got in the car, Gogh threw him a pair of handcuffs and gestured for him to handcuff both his hands to the car. Lisa did as told.
Gogh then started the car, jumped into the driver's seat, threw the two hostages away and sped out of the property.
Mi-Yeon and Minnie immediately ran out.
"Where's your car?" Mi-Yeon asked the couple anxiously.
"In the barn, hurry, take it. The keys are in my pocket," Mr. Martin said as Minnie untied him.
Mi-Yeon immediately grabbed the keys and jumped into the car. As she drove past, she screamed out, "Activate Emergency Plan Charlie."
Minnie nodded and quickly picked up his phone.
