3 Ways

Missing

She watched Victoria drive off with a wave before crossing the street toward the spy's car. As if he'd been waiting for her he scrolled down his window when she approached.

"Where's my memory card, lady?" he asked in an unlikeable tone.

Chorong dug into her pocket and clenched her fingers around it. A burning sensation wired through her nerves before she released it and handed it over with her fingers lightly wrapped over it.

"Here you go, Mr. Photographer," Chorong told. "You know watching my house like this is considered an invasion of privacy. I could call the cops on you."

Lee Dongsun snorted mockingly, "Is that a threat?"

Chorong shrugged, "If you watch very carefully, there's a god on our block. He will punish you discreetly. I mean, he's very bad."

Chorong placed the palm of her free hand onto the side of the car and felt the car heat up immediately with her touch.

"Then, goodbye now," Chorong dropped the melted memory card into his hand before turning around to walk off.

"What the..." he screamed after her a second later before belting out various shouts of panic when he felt the car overheat and a gastric amount of smoke huffled out from the hood of the car.

Without concern Chorong got into her car and drove off.

Victoria was finally able to concentrate in class for once. She was in a good mood and she thought today would be a day where she would finally be able to enjoy herself again. It wasn't very long, though, before that peace suddenly turned around.

While leaving class Chorong suddenly called. Namjoo wasn't in the house when she returned from the store. Again, Victoria felt a panic swerve through her.

She immediately left campus and thought of no one, but Chanyeol at first. If Namjoo wanted to go somewhere she might have gone to him.

As expected he answered after the first ring, "Hello?"

And suddenly Victoria thought of the possibility that Namjoo might not have gone to him. How would she be able to ask without setting an alarm in his head?

"Um..." Victoria started, "I'm just wondering, if Namjoo stopped by."

There was a moment of silence before Chanyeol said, "I'm not home right now."

"Oh...well..."

"Is something wrong?" Chanyeol asked.

"No!" Victoria half shouted before chewing on her bottom lip. "No, nothing is wrong." Then she nervously laughed, "Gotta go."

She hung up before biting on her tongue.

"Where are you?" she asked underneath her breath before finally stopping at her last resort.

Since Chorong had already set herself to looking around the city, Victoria thought she'd try another method. The police department came into view just a few minutes later and she quickly walked in. It didn't take her long to find who she'd come for.

Changmin was sitting at his desk as always viewing a portfolio when she stopped in front of his desk. His eyes shifted up to look at her and he immediately set down the portfolio.

"I need a favor," Victoria began.

He looked around then back to her, "You know, there are other officers around."

"No," Victoria grounded her voice, "because you seem to know my family better than anyone else does. Please, I need a favor. It's urgent."

Changmin blinked his eyes a few times before nodding, "Ok. Shoot it."
