They spent only 15 minutes to reach the airport. It didn't seem like anyone was following them, they were safe for the moment. They had to get inside the building and stay close to security guards.
"You are not going to the parking lot, are you." said Linda and looked at Joshua through the mirror, he eyed her back and smirked.
"Don't worry, I will find a place near the doors." he said but the girl couldn't trust his decision.
"Ursula's guys will be waiting for us in the main entrance, they would catch up with us even if we run inside." said Mingyu and she sat back on her seat, he was right.
The only solution was to follow the least dangerous way.
The car moved in a slow speed, they stopped next to other parked cars. The door that was leading to the elevators, that would get them inside the airport was a few meters ahead.
Mingyu stepped outside first, he looked around the parking lot.
A squad of a girl and two boys were walking towards their direction, probably looking for their own car.
He gestured Linda to step outside, everything seemed normal.
"Hey look at her!" whispered one boy to the other two.
"I have seen her on television." whispered the girl back.
"Excuse me! Are you Linda Evans?" yelled the boy and Linda turned towards them with a frightened look on her eyes and so did Mingyu.
"Don't stop." he whispered and reached for her hand, they shouldn't had turned to them in the first place.
Linda looked at Mingyu and to him, but the boy started walking in a fast pace towards them.
"Wait I am a fan of you!" he said and she couldn't help and look at his pleading expression.
"Mrs Evans wait!" yelled the girl too and ran to her, her loud voice echoing in the empty parking lot.
Mingyu turned panicked to them, he had no choice but to calm those youngsters down.
Someone from CERN could hear them and that would give out their position.
"Yup it's her." whispered Mingyu and gestured them to talk silently.
"Oh my god, are you Kim Mingyu?" said the girl and covered her mouth with her hands, she started shaking from her excitement.
"You guys are our inspiration, can we take a photo together, please?" said the other boy and reached with his hand the pocket behind him.
"We are actually in a hurry-" said Mingyu and looked at the girl that had shoved her hand on her purse.
He eyed her angrily and punched her on the face, he grabbed her forearm.
The purse fell on the ground, revealing her hand that was holding a gun.
Linda gasped and took a step behind, she looked with terror the other two men.
Mingyu grabbed the gun and pushed the girl, she tripped and fell down, she felt dizzy.
Linda didn't know how to react, yet she jumped on the boy and grabbed his arm, she immediately understood that was he was reaching for was not his phone, but his gun.
She let out a small scream and tried to take his weapon, he eyed her exasperated and tried to push her away.
Mingyu shot the second guy, he didn't react at all, everything had happened so fast.
The man turned whole around, Linda couldn't keep up with his sudden change of position and got launched on the car next to her.
The man wasn't able to do anything, Mingyu landed the back of the gun to his nape, paralyzing him and dropping him unconscious on the ground.
He looked at Linda and would kneel next to her, but the other girl coughed and spat blood on the ground, reminding him that she was still conscious.
He placed his arm around her and tightened the grip. Blood was running from her nose and lips, a simple punch of his could do that. She struggled for a few seconds and then passed out.
"Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" she said and rushed to her.
She was sitting on the ground, resting her back on the car.
"I'm okay." she said and smiled at him.
"Can you get up?" he said and placed his hand under her knees, trying to lift her up.
"No Mingyu, I can get up!" she said tried to stop him, picking her up would be embarrassing.
They had to run after all.
"Are you sure?" he asked and she nodded, she got up on her own.
Mingyu looked at the boy he shot, he wasn't moving.
"Let's go, Joshua is waiting for us." he took her hand and they ran to the door, time was pressuring them.
Joshua had entered the airport from the front door, nobody could be aware of his existence. He would buy tickets for them while Mingyu and Linda would sneak inside.
The doors opened and they got out, walking as if nothing was going on.
Mingyu was holding her from her hand, he could lose her between the crowd if he let go of her for even a second.
They stayed close to crowded areas, so it would be difficult to spot them.
Joshua smiled at the woman and took the tickets off the counter, he placed them in his inside pocket.
He looked around him closely as he was walking away, making sure nobody looked suspicious, that could possibly be looking for his friend.
Linda tightened her grip on his hand, she was getting more anxious.
Her palms had sweated, but Mingyu squeezed her tighter, he was stressed as well.
"Let's go into that coffee shop." he pointed and just headed there, the girl trusting his decisions.
Mingyu stood in the line, waiting to order. Linda was standing next to him, trying to not look around much, as Mingyu had told her.
"Excuse me sir." said a man wearing a weird hat that stumbled on Mingyu, then walked towards the restroom.
His voice was familiar, she eyed him suspiciously but Mingyu poked her with his elbow, distracting her.
"Italy? Cool." he said and showef her secretly two tickets he was holding on his hands.
Linda realized it was Joshua that had just handed him the tickets. She smiled and so did he.
"Let's go." he said and they left their line, all they had to do was pass by the security.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I please for your attention. The boarding on the flight A6321 will start in 30 minutes. All passengers proceed at the gate 37B. Meine Damen und.." said the voice through the speaker.
"It's our flight." said Mingyu and started walking faster towards the security gate.
Thankfully there weren't many people around, they got in fast. The guards didn't stop them for further control.
Linda gave a look behind, Joshua wasn't there.
"Hurry up!" said Mingyu and pulled her, she turned to him worried, she felt like something wasn't right.
"What about Joshua?" she whispered and he smiled softly at her.
"He is ahead of us." he said and she laughed awkwardly, she got worried for no reason.
