INSIDE MONSTER. THE FUGITIVE.

CHAPTER 48: A NEW HUNTING SESSION

Entering the office, Kan and DooSan saw the others staring at them while waiting to hear interesting news from them. News that made them widen their eyes when DooSan said, „So Ari and Nam Guk Shik were in a relationship."

Hearing DooSan talking like that, A Rim growled, „Whaat? Did So Ari have a boyfriend?"

„Yes," replied Kan as calmly as possible. „A nobody, who had no idea what his girlfriend was involved in. He knows now."

Yoon Suk reproachfully shook his head. „Why do I have the feeling that the one who took care to „inform" our nobody about his girlfriend's heroic deeds was you? Just as you informed him that she's dead, right?"

Kan showed Yoon Suk his fangs. Then, deeply breathing in to calm down, he said, „Of course, it was me who informed him. Who else? Not you while staying in this office, right?! If I had done the same as you did, then... it would have been awful for all of us. At least one of us had to help him take that black cloth off his eyes, don't you think so?"

„A black cloth that I'm sure he would have preferred rather than hearing such news from our „good Samaritan," A Rim told him ironically, making Kan slowly growl while his lips started shaking because of nerves.

„Are you hinting at something in particular?" The detective suddenly hissed through his teeth.

His reaction didn't bother A Rim. She only shrugged, bored, murmuring to herself eventually but still to be heard by others, „I'm just making conversation here. Still, if my words hurt the ego of a lonely wolf, it's not my problem."

„Kan A Rim," the detective growled. „Are you looking for your death?"

Seeing Kan about to pounce on A Rim and scalp her like the dog would have done to the enemy cat for those words, visibly pissed off by the „secretary's" indifference, DooSan decided that it was time to make peace. That's why he slowly touched the detective's shoulder, saying in a soft voice, „Let's bite others'throat later. Now, I think we should solve this case first. So, back to business, boy! What do you say?"

„I say that we should twist the neck of some cobras in the office first," the detective growled furiously, heading toward his desk. While heading over there, he didn't keep his mouth shut but growled to be heard by everybody in that office, „If this ever happens, I'm sure we'll have peace all over the world. Particularly, in this office because... certain cobras were brought here only to suck my blood and kill my nerves."

The detective's commentary finally pissed A Rim off. She, jumping to her feet, ready for a fight, glared at the detective. „Was that „Cobra" about me? If yes, then... I can show you what my fangs stubbed into your throat feels, old furless wolf!" Yet, although she wanted to get to Kan and fight with him for those words, A Rim didn't get there. This happened because of Yoon Suk, who stepped between her and Kan, who squinted at her a hint that he was barely waiting to show her how old he was, and, blocking her way, he hissed into A Rim's ear:

„Stop pouring oil on the flames, A Rim! Just... do your job!"

„Now it's my fault that certain quadrupeds always look for a fight in this office?"

„Yes," Yu hissed into her second ear, making A Rim wince. Then, realizing that nobody was by her side in the office, particularly in that fight, A Rim squinted at the inspector. At all bothered to see her pissed off, Yu calmly told her, „The only guilty one here for not keeping her mouth shut is you. And now... let's return to work because we are here for that." Then, he looked at Yoon Suk, asking, „What's the deal with the video you told me about? Did you find something about it?"

„Yes, Inspector Yu. And... we aren't talking about a video but about pictures. Who found them was SuJin, by the way."

Really proud of himself, after hearing Yoon Suk praising him, SuJin looked around. Seeing everybody staring at him, not at all convinced that the merit of those photos was his, SuJin cooked his nose. Then, he grabbed the remote control and showed them, on a big white screen, a few photos of Hamster. After that, standing up and taking a few steps through the office, approaching the screen eventually, he said, „I present you the star of this show... no one other than Hamster!"
