Seven nodded along and turned back to see a half can of Dr. Pepper and a Sandwich still on the table. That's all he needed anyway. He typed away and started to watch the video from last night. He alternated between the video in the room, and the hallway CCTV. Once the lights inside went out inside her room, he couldn't see anything. After a few minutes though, she was out the door in the hallway. She had a bag, the very one in his lap, and a look of fury. She ran up the stairs. Not far behind, the silver-haired man staggered out. He looked surprised and was wincing a bit too. He laughed. He looked like a mad man. Saeren.. How did you turn into this?

Seven bit back tears as he watched his brother run up the stairs behind her. She'd thrown something into the janitor's closet. Saeren had caught her, slapped her. Then dragged her down the stairs. He slammed her against the door of the apartment. His arms holding her down. His face close to her ears. It filled Seven with rage.. and sadness..Seeing her helpless.. Because of his brother. Suddenly he saw her kick his groins. Good girl..Sorry Saeren... She didn't move from the door. She looked behind it, as if she'd heard something. Saeren leapt at her and she kicked him again. OUCH! Two kicks to the balls. No wonder he was pissed. As Saeren crumbled, he watched Sarah again. She looked shocked and scared. She turned around and tried to open the door the keypad turned on, screaming something. She'd immediately turned around and grabbed Saeran. 

She knew.. she knew about the bomb. And she'd moved Saeren to safety. The door burst into her back. Seven's tears were freely-falling now. She'd protected Saeren. She'd taken the blast. There was blood everywhere. They were both just lying there. Saeren stood up slowly, and she seemed to gain consciousness. She crawled away and then, there he was in the corner of the video. Seven watched himself screaming at his brother. He wanted to stop watching and but he couldn't. He watched on as the rest of the scene unfolded. As the gun came out. As she staggered to him, with the look of utmost urgency. A look of want. Not the sexual kind. Just want. She held him. Hugged him. And didn't let go. She was whispering to him, touching him.
 As he looked up and Saeren who was wincing.
 As Saeren ran back into the smoking apartment.
 As he slowly pushed himself off the ground and lifted her.  
She was light, like she was barely there in his arms. Like she would disappear any minute. He remembered her groans of pains, biting down on her hand. Shuddering and hold on to his shirt tightly. Her face against his chest. Her short cries.

Seven couldn't take it anymore. He wiped his tears off. For all she'd done, she shouldn't have to be alone. She might even be mentally unstable. He knew he was. He always looked like he wasn't, but he knew better. When the night came, he was alone again. He would visit clubs, dance with some unknown girl. Fuck her in the back and come back around for more drinks. This is what he did to feel anything but loneliness. But here he was standing there, feeling something different. He was someone who was protected. He downed the rest of the sandwich and began tracing his car keys. She'd put it back in the sweatshirts pocket. Which meant he could find her location. He wasn't going to tell anyone. And then he did find her. She was moving in the mountains. He needed to go see her. Hold her. The Doc would of course know best. He started gathering the quick small supplies he needed. A laptop, machines, screens, radios, burner phones.. Everything that wasn't too excessive. He went over to his safe and picked out two guns and their bullets. Just in case. He looked over at her bag, took a deep breath and opened it. There was a small book in it. A torn teddy bear. A few scribbled pictures. A small hand-gun, and a knife. He tried to read the book, but there were too many scribbles. It looked like it was written by some small kid. He walked over to the form and signed it without looking. I'm coming, Sarah, don't be lonely anymore... I'm coming..

Seven drove back to Jumin's to meet with them and to tell them what else he'd learnt about Mint Eye. He stepped into the over-ly luxurious apartment and Jumin was speaking to some heavy looking men. Bodyguards. Doc walked away from the window, and quickly whispered something to Jumin. Seven caught up with them "She's left everything. She's never done anything like this. I don't think she's stable at all.", the Doc rambled on. "Start from the top." sighed Jumin rubbing his temples. Jaehee promptly brought over a tray of coffee. As she sat herself down next to Zen on the couch, Seven noted how cosy they looked together. Well, at least someone's getting some sort of happiness. He grabbed the smallest cup, he could use the espresso shot. Doc began, "Vini went to one of the orphanages and left an obscene amount of money" "Well.. that is.. she left everything she had. She just walked in and walked out. She's never done anything like this. Vini ..I'm afraid that perhaps she's going over-board. Like she's not in her senses. " Lula sighed from the corner "Vini would never hurt anyone who didn't deserve it. But I admit, I'm worried as well that she isn't in her right mind. But... whether she would hurt herself.. Its not uncommon for .. patients like her to .. give-up and want everything to just.. end. She also deposited a crap load of cash into our accounts. It feels like she's preparing to disappear again.. This time, for good I'm afraid" Seven looked at his phone to check the location of his keys. She was still in the mountains. Maybe she was hiding. But she was moving again. His breath caught in his chest. "I'm going to try find her," he announced. He knew where she was heading to. He needed to get to her before she did anything. It was called suicide point for a reason.
