She couldn't help but laugh at the sight. She actually did laugh the moment the taxi had driven off quite quickly.

"What's so funny? We're about to have our perpetrator right in our hands," Jungwon pointed out.

"Oh come on!" Jiyeon let out a laugh, "an abandoned industry building? This is possibly the most cliché thing I've seen in ages!"

"He's dangerous Ji," Jungwon pointed out and she snapped her head over to look at him in confusion, but didn't get to say anything before he was already entering the building.

"Don't leave me out here alone!" she complained and rushed after him.

This time it was his turn to let out a small laugh at her.

"Cliché, wasn't it?" he murmured and continued walking until he found himself standing underneath a broken window that let in the remaining of the daylight.

"So... what now? We wait about or go look?" Jiyeon questioned.

"Give it a second," Jungwon excused.

And so she waited a second... and a few more. Simply looking around at the dirty floor, the few rubbles further away. The stairs, the walkways above them. It was awfully empty and quite boring. Mindlessly she pressed record on the recorder in her pocket.

"Smart," Jungwon remarked and she turned her head to look over at him, "I notice everything," he whispered.

"Indeed you do. How long have you known where I'm standing?" a voice echoed out and Jungwon chuckled in amusement.

"Be a bit more original next time. The only intact box in sight? Really?" Jungwon questioned and a man slowly walked forward from behind a box, just like Jungwon said.

He was far older than Jiyeon had expected. He almost looked like he could be one of the old dudes in the parliament who made weird and odd decisions that only really benefited themselves. 

"You don't think I'm original?" the man chuckled and Jungwon shrugged.

"Heard it before, seen it before. Done before," Jungwon excused casually, "where is she?"

"I don't know who-"

"You need one last piece," Jungwon pointed out, "you won't send me those coordinates for just a chit-chat. Where is she?"

The man sighed and lifted his hands from his pockets.

"Send her out," he rolled his eyes almost.

Somewhere someone stumbled and eventually a young, scared, woman stepped into the light as well. Immediately getting pulled closer by the man, his arm wrapped tightly around her shoulders as she tried to contain her sobs. She wasn't much older than Jiyeon, was what she decided in her head.

"Look familiar?" the man questioned, "I wanted to make it as close as possible," he chuckled and grabbed the woman's face, pressing her cheeks together and shaking her head a bit back and forth, "the torso was the most difficult. How'd I know with all those loose sweaters? I simply took what I wanted it to be, the most desirable. I was quick to find one though, you noticed that at the scene yesterday, didn't you?"

"Why?" Jungwon frowned and the man chuckled in amusement.

"Why?" he repeated in amusement, "why, don't we all want a piece of that? Young, beautiful, woman. Isn't that so? You even brought yours along, didn't you?"

"What?" Jiyeon murmured and turned her head to look at Jungwon. He didn't even see her, he only kept his eyes on the woman and man in front of them.

"Your little girlfriend," the man continued.
