Jin's POV (Jin and Dae's Home above)

Ye-Jun loved his room but I'm worried about Dae. She's sobbing in my arms and I let my tears flow trying to comfort her. I called Lee to come upstairs so I can see if we can come up with a solution. We're talking in the room and we made sure that Serene, Mike and Becca kept my Ye-Jun busy. 

I text Seo earlier for her to call me but she never responded. I don't know what's going on but I have to find my baby girl. When Slim found out, he immediately came to the house. Slim and Lee were calling several contacts to see if we can have a tip as to whom signed Ji out of school.

About an hour later Kang came over and tells me that someone signed out Ji but the school couldn't find the login papers for that day. Ye-Jun came in the room and he knew that Dae was upset. Explaining to Ye-Jun that we were trying to figure out some issues and he understood.

Two days later

Dae has been up for two whole days pacing back and forth crying. She hasn't slept or eaten. Slim has been looking into the schools paperwork and cameras while Lee was patrolling her school and the neighborhood. I was startled when my phone rung and Slim informed me that Ji was kidnapped. 

She was in an abandoned apartment complex and we had to act quickly. Lee and I rushed to meet Slim at the warehouse. He will need backup.


The Warehouse


"We're ready just hurry."

Suddenly we rushed past a broken gate and Lee and I already have our army gear on. Dae was waiting in the car and refused to stay home. Shaking with worry, I knew it was best for her to stay hidden. She had an earpiece in her ear so that if anything happened, she could page one of us. 

Lee and I ran towards a side door and I had a really bad feeling come over me. I was feeling very uneasy. Suddenly the sound of gunshots fired and I paged Slim. Watching from the roof, Slim was going to give us the signal as Lee and I waited.
