I.N: She's approaching from the right. Heading toward the picnic table. Purple sweater. Pink face mask. She arrived alone.

CHAN: We see her. Keep eyes and ear open.

SEUNGMIN: You ok, beautiful?

LILY: I'm fine, baby. Yall remember the code word, right?

LEEKNOW: Jam

LILY: Good. Going radio silent.

As Chan, Lily, and Changbin approached the picnic table, Dae made eye contact with them but immediately lowered her head.

As they took the seat directly across from her, Dae spoke hesitantly. "Thank you for meeting me."

"First of all, you are not our sub, so stop acting like it." Chan instructed with a cold tone. "Following expired protocol is disrespectful to our fiancée."

Dae hesitantly looked up, revealing the severe swelling and discoloration around her eye. "Please forgive me. It wasn't my intent-"

"What happened to your eye?" Lily interrupted with slight concern in her tone.

Tears pooled in Dae's eyes. "I need to tell you- there's a tracker implanted in my forearm. We don't have much time before-"

She was interrupted by Changbin's stern tone. "So he knows you're here."

Dae covered her face to hide her tears. "Not right now. He's in a business meeting, but if I'm not home before he is, he'll track me."

"Did he do that to you?" Lily asked, reaching for Dae's hand. Lily immediately drew back when Dae flinched in defense.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that." Dae pleaded as her tears soaked the mask she was wearing.

Lily sighed and slowly held out her hand. "Dae. My name is Lily. And I promise you, you're safe right now."

Dae took Lily's hand, and squeezed. "Please help me. I can't go back to him. I can't do this anymore. If you don't help me, I have no other choice but to take my own life, but-"

"That's not happening, Dae." Chan interrupted. "How long do we have before he checks the tracker?"

Dae took a deep breath and replied. "About twenty minutes."

LILY: Seungmin, get your medical bag out and be ready to remove the tracker. Felix and Han, make your way to the van but keep watch. Snipers, stay in position.

SEUNGMIN: Got it

FELIX: On the way

HYUNJIN: Be careful. It could still be a trap.

"You're coming with us. Leave your phone here." Lily said as she stood and reached for Dae's hand. Dae's eyes were filled with fear and desperation. "You're safe now. I know you trust the guys, right?"

Dae displayed a confused and fearful expression before mumbling, "Snipers? What is this?"

"Just let us take care of you." Lily instructed as she took Dae's trembling hand.

Chan and Changbin took a protective stance on either side of the women as they led her to the van.

I.N pulled a tracking detection device from his bag and hovered it over Dae's arm. When a sharp beep was heard, he nodded and placed it to the side.

Seungmin cleaned the location before removing a scalpel and pressing it to her arm.

"Just squeeze my hand. As hard as you need to." Lily softly instructed.

Dae nodded and held her breath as Seungmin made the incision. Her knuckles turned white as she firmly squeezed Lily's hand.

"Found it." Seungmin said before picking up the tweezers and inserting them into the incision, pulling out a small metal capsule.

Chan rolled the window down and instructed, "Throw it out and check for more."

Seungmin tossed it out as I.N waved the detection device over the length of Dae's body as Seungmin cleaned and bandaged the wound. "Clear."

LILY: Han and Felix- get in. Hyunjin and Leeknow, pack it up and head home.

HYUNJIN: She's not coming to our home is she?

CHAN: No. We're going to Haven Hotel. We'll call Blackpink.

Felix and Han entered the van. Chan jumped into the driver's seat and took off.

Muffled sobs suddenly ripped through Dae. Lily gave a sympathetic look. "Dae, it's ok. Come here." She said as she cautiously wrapped her arms around her shoulders. "You're gonna be ok. Just breathe."

"Let's take your mask off so you can breathe better." Seungmin softly instructed, reaching for the mask. He paused and glanced at Lily, silently seeking her approval.

Lily nodded and smiled as she held Dae close to her. Seungmin pinched the fabric of the mask and lowered it, revealing a severely infected busted lip.

Seungmin's eyes widened, causing Lily to pull back slightly to see Dae's face. "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry." Lily sighed as Seungmin pulled his medical bag back out. Lily held out her hand to stop him when Dae's sobs intensified. "Just wait til we get to the hotel. Let her calm down."

The men glanced back and forth at each other as their anger began to rise.

Dae sat on the sofa in the hotel room with Lily as Seungmin prepared his medical supplies. Chan stepped forward as he ended a call on his phone. "Dae, you still trust us, correct?"

Dae nodded her head as tears still dropped from her eyes. Lily kept her hand on Dae's back, rubbing back and forth to comfort her as best she could.

Chan shared a quick glance with Lily as squatted in front of them. "I've called some friends of ours. They'll be here in an hour to pick you up. They're setting up a new identity for you and making arrangements to get you to a safe location."

Dae's eyes widened as she replied, "New identity? How?"

Chan let out a deep breath and replied, "Just trust us, ok? Can you do that?"

She nodded her head before looking at Lily. "You're gonna stay until they get here, right?"

"I'm not going anywhere." Lily assured as she lowered her hand to pull Dae closer. When her hand touched her ribcage, she flinched and hissed in pain.

Lily furrowed her brows and pulled away, slightly. "Do you have more injuries?"

Dae tightly closed her eyes and slowly nodded. "He's not the Dom I thought he was. He dangerous and I'm pretty certain he's part of the mafia."
