'Golden Mary'

Part 6

Seohyun paced back and forth in the kitchen biting away at her thumbnail while Luhan ate quietly away at his cereal by the table. She was suddenly worried if Victoria had been caught by the cops. What if they were questioning her about her identity like she had worried in the first place? Seohyun shook her head. Not even guys as big as the ones at the harbor could beat her. Victoria was always short tempered and witty, or more like serious. She'd pound anyone in the face if they irritated her. Victoria was no where as nice as Seohyun.

"Where is she though?" Seohyun continued pacing back and forth worried sick.

"I thought you said she was still at the apartment," Luhan said chewing slowly on his cereal.

"And would you quit eating!?" Seohyun snapped at him.

Luhan scowled at her, "I bought this."

Seohyun turned to him with a frown about to scold him for the thousandth time before the door opened. She stopped and immediately ran toward the door but paused by the kitchen entrance when she saw Victoria walk in.

"Where the hell were you? Are you ok?" Seohyun questioned.

Victoria touched her face and turned to her, "Someone tossed powered chloroform at me. It's much stronger than I thought it'd be."

Victoria scrunched up her nose and kept touching her face before turning to look at Seohyun before noticing Luhan behind her. Noticing Victoria's glance Seohyun shoved her toward her bedroom. She overlooked Victoria once more before heaving a sigh of relief.

"I was so worried," Seohyun expressed, "but...that means you were knocked out...then where..."

"Seems like I spent a good four hours sleeping at a police officer's house," Victoria said glancing outside the window in her room while pulling the blinds open.

"Police officer?" Seohyun repeated.

"Yea," Victoria ran her tongue against the inside of her cheek. "Someone strange."

Seohyun started at Victoria confused before she noticed the slit in her sleeve.

"Oh? What's this?" Seohyun asked reaching her hand forward to grab Victoria's sleeve. "Did you get hurt?"

Victoria glanced down, her face a flush of confusion.

"Looks like a cut," Seohyun said. "But it's already bandaged. Did that police officer do this?"

She glanced up at Victoria's quiet face. It didn't seem like it mattered much to her and seeing her like that made Seohyun a bit more curious.

"Who is this police officer?" asked Seohyun.

"Someone named Donghae." Victoria blatantly replied before grabbing some clothes. "I'm going to take a shower."

Seohyun watched as Victoria walked out wondering if something had happened during the time she'd been out of the apartment.

After closing the door shut Victoria glanced at the bandage on her arm and pried the slit in her sleeve apart. For sure no one but that police officer would have done it while she'd been knocked out. She turned to stare at herself in the mirror and wondered why he'd seemed so nervous while talking to her.

Quickly tossing the thought away she turned on the faucet to let the shower run and wondered if she'd see the officer who'd come by to bring Seohyun's bag back ever again.

"She looks tired," Luhan commented when Seohyun returned to the kitchen.

She paused and turned to look at him with a frown.
