Author's POV (Slim above)

Lee already knew Meghan was the mastermind behind Jin's abduction. He stayed at work and spent the night at the office working on a strategy to get Jin back. Although she went home, he knew she was up to something. Talking to Slim about Seo, he wanted to know who was behind it. 

Time was not on their side but hours of sleepless nights paid off. Todd and Lee were able to track Jin's cell phone from satellites. Looking through several routes, Lee was so nervous that he struggled to ease the pain in his stomach. Determined to save his brother Jin, he wanted to raid the warehouse early in the morning while it was still dark. With Slim, they knew that if they were killed, they weren't going down without a fight. Checking weapons and bullet proof vests, Lee wanted Slim to guard him while he sneaks in the warehouse.

While we go over the strategy to get Jin back, the temperature dropped and it was time to leave. Using night vision and earpieces, Lee were able to communicate with Slim while he waited at his mark. The warehouse was two hours away and the sun didn't rise yet. 

2 hours later (2:45am)

Slim watched from another building on the rooftop. Holding his AK-47 sniper, he continued to watch Lee sneak in.

Remembering the layout that was on the blueprint, he knew exactly where to go. Chills covers his body and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger in his gut. Reaching the basement of the warehouse, Slim connected through his earpiece warning him that there were guards nearby. Hearing several rounds, he wanted Lee to wait for him to sneak in before picking the lock. Picking the lock, they eased their way near a hallway. Checking for cameras, there was a feeling that Slim had. 

Something was telling him that they needed to sneak back to the basement. Tracking their steps the same way that they came in, they discovered that there was a hidden room below the basement. Listening for noise, Lee eased himself in discreetly. Slim pressed the blue button on his earpiece for the van pull on at the designated spot so that the three of them can escape. Hiding behind a brick wall, he slowly peeked out and there he was. 

Jin's POV

I can feel someone outside but, I cannot think straight because I'm worried about Dae and my son. I have a feeling that Lee is the one I sense is outside the warehouse. As I sit in the chair, I hear several rounds of gunshots. As I turn my head once I hear someone come in. I feel so uneasy and I hope that Lee isn't hurt. My brother has to be ok.

When I see someone's shoes standing in front of me, I look up and see Slim guarding the door. Once Lee cuts the ropes off my wrist, we run as fast as we can through the dark. I follow behind him and see a van up the street. Feeling weaker, my heart clenched but I kept running. Knowing that I was going to be back with Dae gave me the strength to keep running. Suddenly, Lee and I tripped and we both fell hard on the ground. Once we stood up on our feet, there was a gun pointed at Lee's head.
