19 - Seomi & a Stakeout

After agreeing to let Seomi go, Bogum had again injected her with a serum to keep her sedated. Jin was not allowed to see her before Bogum carried her to the van and transported her to a nearby hospital.

However, before he could reach the hospital, he came upon a road block. His anxiety built up, thinking that it might have been set up to look for both Jin and Seomi. He had no way to turn back as he was already sandwiched between other cars. He looked around wildly for a way out but none could be found. He was anxious that Seomi might make a sound and alert the police to her presence.

He was in traffic for an hour until a  police officer tapped on his glass, bringing the actor out of his confused and stressed state. He rolled down his window but did not remove his mask.

"Morning officer. How may I assist you today?" Bogum's acting skills were put into play as he charmed the officer.

"Just routine checks and testing for driving under the influence. If you wouldn't mind blowing into this device, then we can check for any alcohol consumption?"

Bogum decided to play it safe and not antagonize the officer. He lowered his mask enough to blow into the device. But the officer asked for his driver's licence and Bogum knew he had  recognized him.

"Mr Parkssi. It's an honour sir." And the officer bowed low. He called his deputy to raise the gate and let Bogum pass without checking the vehicle. Bogum smiled happily. Being an idol did have its perks. He mock saluted the officer and passed through the road block.

He reached the hospital and jumped out at the staff entrance, ensuring that his mask was secure. He removed her wheelchair and placed Seomi in it, wrapping her in a blanket and cap. She was out cold.

Bogum wheeled her to the entrance and pressed the bell for attendance before running off quickly to his van and driving off leaving her at the mercy of strangers.

Taehyung yawned and sat up a little straighter in his seat. He punched Jungkook on his shoulder to wake him up.

"I'm up! I'm up!" Jungkook squealed, rubbing his arm where Tae had punched him.

"Check it out," Taehyung said, handing the pair of small binoculars to him.

Kook focused on the black van 200 metres in front of them. He watched as the man, pulled out of the drive and headed away from the house.

Two nights ago, Taehyung, Jungkook and Yoongi had started a stakeout outside this address after watching the police fail to gather any comprehensive evidence canvassing the area. When they had left, the three men had hung out at a local bar and questioned patrons covertly.

They had found a local guy who delivered newspapers and seemed to know the happenings of many of the people in the neighbourhood. He was a great source of information and help to zero in on a home that was recently occupied by someone new.

It so happened that the old man who had found the piece of jewelry, had found it outside this very same address. The three men had then taken turns to observe the house and today, they were rewarded by seeing some movement outside.

As soon as the van left, they got off the car and made their way to the house. They peeked inside the windows but it was heavily shuttered. Yoongi was then able to pull apart an old hinge on a maid's entrance to the home. They entered the house and observed how quiet it was. The place looked abandoned and unlived in.
