One Step At A Time

The man stood up from his seat when the door opened and in walked Yoona.

He bowed to her and kept his head down until everyone had entered the room. When he straightened back up and saw Himchan, he couldn't stop himself from expressing his surprise - eyebrows shooting up and eyes round and wide.

"Good morning, Hyung," Himchan calmly said while taking his seat next to Yoona.

Taeyeon remained standing behind the captain, leaning against the viewing window.

"Why are you here?" Harang asked as he sat back down. His eyes never left Himchan.

"Complications. So I decided to come clean and help these people," said Himchan. "Well, to cut straight to the chase, I've informed Captain Im's team about everything so far so why don't you tell them your side of the story?"

Harang shook his head. "You know I can't do that."

"Why not?" Taeyeon asked. "You attacked my men. Don't you think you owe us at least an explanation? Mr. Himchan said you changed your ways. Prove it."

"Did Himchan tell you why I came back?" he asked Taeyeon, looking at her with those calm, unaffected eyes.

"Yes."

"Then you know why I can't say another word."

"We can help protect your family," said Yoona.

The man merely smiled. "I've made bail. I assume I can leave now? You have no reason to hold me any longer."

"Hyung-..."

"Have a good day, everyone." The man pushed his chair back, bowed politely and headed to the door.

"Hyung..."

"Don't worry. You're Chadol, I know," he said without turning his head. His hand was already on the door handle.

"It's not just that, Hyung. Come on. They're willing to help you."

"No one can help me and you know it," said the man before he opened the door and walked out of the interrogation room.

Jongin, Chanyeol and Tiffany came into the room soon after.

"That ended too fast for us to even detect anything," said Tiffany.

"He looks familiar though," mumbled Chanyeol. "Could have seen him at the market but I can't be 100% sure about it."

"Same here. It was too dark," added Jongin.

"So what now?" asked Taeyeon. "He won't talk and we don't have enough to go after Seungjin or him."

"We wait while we keep digging," answered Yoona. "Shin Harang has been put under surveillance. The Commissioner has agreed that this man plays an important role in this case so he has told Senior Inspector Yunho's team to keep a lookout for Harang."

"They sure have their hands full," commented Chanyeol.

"Then why don't we give them a hand?" asked Taeyeon.
