CH.52

the cop responded with "no, i didn't know who the guy was, thank you for your time."

the rescuers gave the police a courteous gesture before saying their goodbyes.

they quickly go back to what they were doing earlier after offering their justifications.

he relocates to a different area.

he was too occupied with studying the faces of all the survivors of the aforementioned explosion, whom the rescuers had been able to free from the inside of the asylum, but he didn't recognize any of them.

which is probably a fortunate thing.

after spotting another new face that was being evacuated to safety, the officer waste no time to approach the group.

he asked the rescuers, "excuse me, but could i take a look at this person's face?" and instantly show his ID.

they gave him permission to examine the said person, but it was ineffective because he had no idea who the person was.

he gave them a small thank you and immediately excused himself.

having examined over twenty-five faces of various victims of the explosion, he found that none of them bore any resemblance to him.

so, where exactly is that guy?

with a heave of sighs, he places a hand on his waist, continuously staring at the faces of every individual.

he was standing in front of the severely damaged structure.

his eyes grew wider when an incredibly familiar person appeared.

the person in question is being led by rescuers towards an ambulance, most likely for medical attention.

with a wrap of bandages on his head and arms, he is seated in a wheelchair.

he doesn't appear to be that gravely injured.

without any delay, the officer darts ahead of them, causing them to come to a stop at their tracks.

"sorry for the sudden interruption but I'm a police officer, can i have a word with this person? i promise i'll make it quick." He stated when he was allowed to.

it was no other than jeonghan.

"officer shin?" he asked, it seems like he's not that gravely injured, and even had the energy to remember the officer.

to match the man's level, the cop knelt in front of him.

with such gentleness, the officer said, "jeonghan, is it okay if i ask you some questions?"

although the said person may appear to be injured lightly, has still has a bewildered expression in his eyes.

jeonghan could only nod his head, unsure of what to do, where to go, or what on hell is going on.

"can you remember what exactly happened before the explosion?" he inquired.

"i don't know, we were outside, waiting for jihoon, wonwoo said that he received an unidentified message from an unregistered contact, saying that jihoon is in danger, that's why we rushes towards the hospital and it turns out that there's an emergency lockdown because of patients that escaped from their wards and have been spotted with fatal firearms." jeonghan continued.

there is only fear on his face.

the officer added, "tell me more of it, slowly." in a soothing voice.
