"That's how he knew they were there, once she put the jacket on. He could see where and when... oh my god. If he has a camera here, then... SHIT!!!" she yelled out. Evan came running in her room in a panic, wheezing, he asked his sister what happened? Not wanted him in this any further— she replied with nothing.

Staring at her strangely, he went to his room and closed the door. She couldn't believe it, how clever is that? Ellie stood there thinking on when did he put the camera on her, where she wasn't anyway near.... suddenly a flashback in her mind went off. To the day Yoongi mentioned Aria and how she was 'nice' could that be the day?

"If that was the day... then he knows that we are catching on to something. He knows about the files and protection. This is bad, this is really bad. I have to warn Namjoon before something else goes wrong"

When picking up her new phone, she dialed Joon's number. But a buzzing sound interrupted the call— when she peeked at the screen. An unknown number popped right up.

Unknown:
Hope you were calling me Ellie 🙂

Ellie:
Who is this?

Unknown:
Surprise you can't keep this number on your phone. Tsk, tsk... I feel unwanted 🥺

Ellie:
This is a new phone! How did you get this number?

Unknown:
The same way on how I know where Aria was. You two sure do talk a lot at night, not just that intimate too 👩‍❤️‍👩

Ellie:
Go to hell!

Unknown:
I'm already in heaven... by the way, it's not nice to play with other people things Ells. I spend a lot of that thing

Ellie:
Don't give a shit about your toys... you shocked me and numb my hand. Then you tried to take my best friend away

Unknown:
Little old me, I'm sorry... but she was too good to past up 😈

Ellie:
I know it's you Yoongi and once we find you... you will pay for your actions and crimes

Unknown:
Congratulations, you want a fucking cookie. But first, you got to catch me, innocent until proven guilty. By the way, you are pretty smart, putting almost everything together... I like that in you love. See you real soon 😘

Once he texted that, the messages began to disappear. Panicking, Ellie managed to take a screenshot a conversation, it may help. If he got control over this phone too, then Ellie is in for a rude awaking. Not knowing what to do next... she went to sleep, hoping to have a clear mind.

That morning, Ellie got up and went to take a quick shower. Before she headed to work, she had to stop by the hospital and see Aria. Ellie also wanted to bring extra clothes for her. She was going to ask her brother to go but he had left already. Waiting for the escort, Ellie sat on the porch. Tapping her thigh out of frustration, she thought every clue or hint they got since this beginning.

Not paying attention, a car honk were ringing in her ears. Glancing up, Joon's partner arrived. As they were driving to the hospital, Ellie mind wasn't there at all. They got there and enter the building, the two went straight to the room. "Knock, knock... Aria are you awake now?" Ellie said as she slowly stepped in.

Her best friend smiled at her and opened her arms out for a hug. Ellie dropped the bag. Then rushed to get comfort, Ellie began to cry on her chest "This is my fault... I made you a target" she sobbed loudly. Aria stroke her hair "You didn't know this was coming Ells, you can't blame yourself for this. Luckily Joon helped. I wasn't alone that day, I should have run inside the store instead of passing it"

The detective walked to them "Can I ask you a quick question Aria?" He said in a nervous way. Nodding at the response, he asked what did the person look like?

"He wasn't tall, but I had to look up at him. He was wearing a full mask so I couldn't see his face. But the smell on him was rusty... like oil. He was wearing all black that night. I was scared for my life— I didn't know what to do. When I bumped into him, he immediately tried to grab me. When I ran, he followed. The lust and determination in his eyes were..."

Ellie felt tears hit her head. That fear came right out, the detective then asks if there was another person around? And how did he vanished in thin air like that? Aria shrugged her shoulders to that response. All she could see was him and that pipe... Ellie told her friend that she had to go but be back soon.

Hugging her once again, Ellie exited the room. Knowing she had a little time, she headed to Namjoon's room to visit. He was packing his things to get discharged. Just like Aria, she runs to hug him from behind "Ah... oh babe, it's you. Don't scare me like that" he chuckled. He turned around and hugged her tightly. "How are you?" he said with a gentle smile.

"Joon, I have to tell you something that involves the case" she takes out the camera she found last night. Eyes widen as he takes it, Ellie told him that's how he knew where they were. Rubbing his chin, his face went into deep thought. Thanking his girlfriend, he told her that they will look into this further. It was time for Ellie to go to work. Wishing for her safety, he will see her later.

When arriving, she saw Jungkook. "JUNGKOOK!!" She shouted, scaring the other workers half to death. Jungkook turned around with a concerned look on his face. But when he noticed that it was Ellie, he smiled.

"Hey Ells, how are you doing? A hand is okay?"

"A little, still numb. I have been meh about things but I needed to stay around other people" Ellie said with a fake smile. They walked in together before she forgot— she asked Jk if Yoongi was around. Thinking, he gave an answer of "Yoongi is on vacation, I think. Haven't seen him since the day of the scene"

"Really..."
