INSIDE MONSTER. THE FUGITIVE.

CHAPTER 27: EYES ON THE ENEMY

Looking through the front mirror, DooSan frowned. He did that when he saw Captain Lee's house sunken into darkness. This also made him nervous, although he couldn't understand the reason for that feeling. Even so, he knew that it wasn't because of something in particular but only because of something he felt in his chest, something similar to upset. And... yes, he really felt weird that day, as though something had pressed over his chest, making his heart madly pound. It felt like he got the heart of a frightened bunny, who met the fox on his way through the forest.

„I'm sure that even if I had met that fox on my way, it wouldn't have been as terrifying as it feels right now. If this had happened, I would have at least had the chance to take revenge on her. Yet, once it didn't happen, I can't do anything to calm down the anxiety I feel in my chest." Then, at least to try to breathe a little, DooSan started tapping with his fist over his chest.

This didn't help him but made him feel even more nervous. What bothered him, in particular, was the darkness around and the fact that he finally saw the pieces of glass on the asphalt, the glass that came from the street lamp that Ha Rin had broken. That's why DooSan rushed to leave his car. And, taking his gun, something he got to carry with him all the time eventually, he approached the pieces of glass seen on the crime scene left behind by the two fugitives.

He carefully looked at them once next to the shards, finding nothing strange there. „Just... the usual thing when there are hooligans around," he said eventually, still squatting next to the shards. Then, he looked around but saw only the empty street again. This made him frown.

Hearing a noise, somewhere to his right, behind the cars, DooSan winced and suddenly stood up. He even aimed his gun toward that place while heading to where he had heard the noise. Yet, once there, he found nothing. This made him frown again because he was sure that he didn't have visions. Yet, once he didn't have evidence that his suspicions were real, all he could do at that moment was to give up on chasing ghosts and return to those shards.

He didn't stay next to them too much though but headed toward the gate when he remembered the message SoRan had sent to him that night. The gate was opened when he got in front of it, something that let him know that someone was waiting for him. „Still, it's strange," DooSan whispered. „It's really early for morning visits." Yet, once he had to make sure that SoRan was fine and that nothing out of the ordinary had happened, once she got to summon him there at that early hour - 4 a.m., DooSan pushed the gate and entered the yard.

Entering the yard, DooSan decided that the best decision for all of them would be to close the gate behind him, something he did eventually when he remembered that after he'd been released from the cell, around 2.30 in the morning, and left the Prosecution building, he noticed two penguins with tie not that far from him. „Yes, I'm sure they were following me. Yet, did they follow me here?" He wondered, looking around. DooSan even approached the gate and looked over it but saw nothing strange there. This calmed him down and finally convinced him that it was time to head toward the entrance door.

In front of the door, DooSan stopped, feeling the anxiety sneaking into his veins. Why exactly? He remembered SoRan's short message, which he received about an hour ago. „I need to see you! It's urgent, Prosecutor Han!"

„At this early hour?" DooSan wondered. „For what? Couldn't it wait until morning?"

He didn't have time to find an answer to these questions because the front door suddenly opened and Lee's wife appeared in front of him. „Prosecutor Han," she told him in a shaking voice. „Please, enter!"

The concern felt in Mrs. Lee's voice made DooSan nervous. Yet, he said nothing about this. DooSan also didn't ask anything about what could have made her nervous because he saw her suddenly looking past his shoulder, toward the gate, as though making sure that nobody had followed him. Then, when she ensured that no unwelcome guest was there, Mrs. Lee closed the door behind them and invited DooSan to follow her toward the big living room.
