Serendipity: The Amazing Journey Of A Soulmate

39. A small world

INNA

We escorted Do Byng-Ho back to the police station where I requested a private talk to him before they put him back behind bars. I'm sitting at the boring table in the interrogation room for the second time today, only this time all my patience has run out and I'm beginning to believe that soon I'll say fuck with everything and just kill my client.
Namjoon and Jungkook are somewhere around waiting for me while Morrison is filling up forms and declarations. She sent some agents to the club with the warrant earlier in hope they'll find evidence regarding my client's whereabouts, even though by the time the warrant was ready, everyone already fled.
Mr. Do looks like total shit, with his clothes dusty and his right cheek scratched from when Morrison put him down earlier. I guess he deserved it.

"Is there anything you would like to share with me?" I ask, watching him from under my brows. The man makes a disgusted grimace but doesn't say anything. "You fucked up big time" I add.
"No, you fucked up. This is all your fault. You're the one who brought the police." he spits placing his clenched fists on the table, but his menacing posture leaves me unfazed.
"Mr. Do, I don't think you understand the magnitude of your actions. You were already a target, now it will be impossible to deny anything. You literally just gave them the last piece of evidence they needed to keep you behind bars. I knew you're a jerk, but I wouldn't have mistaken you for a moron" I say, trying to sound as calm as I can, even though on the inside I'm raging.
"Watch your mouth, bitch and do what I pay you loads shit of money for," he spits and I lose my composure.
"It's Ms. Bitch to you and you will not undermine my authority again or I swear to God it will be the last thing you'll get to do as a free person. Now listen carefully and memorize every word. You are going to do exactly what I ask you to do or you'll stay in jail for a really long time. Got it?" I strongly slam my palms on the desk in front of him, while keeping my voice lethal calm. All the arrogance vanishes from his face at the threat in my voice. He nods once, enough to make me understand that he got the message.
"Good. Now that we made things clear, start writing," I say, as I hand him a pen and a few empty papers. "Write what?" he asks unsure. "Your confession." I reply.

****

It took him one hour to write everything on paper. Since his little escapade ruined my strategy for the case, I had to rethink it from scratch. His guilt was beyond any doubt and I would've fought the windmills trying to win this case. I decided that a confession would've been the only thing able to help him, along with details about his gambling issues. I'm going to insist on his poor mental health and strange addiction to obtain a more merciful sentence for him. My senior is going to lose his mind when he hears about tonight's events.
When Mr. Do finishes his confession, I let the officer in charge escort him to his cell while I leave the interrogation room and head to the main offices to submit the document my client just wrote and signed. It has to be added to his case file.
Namjoon and Jungkook are waiting for me on the hallway, each one of them holding a cup of steamy coffee.
"I'm sorry. It took longer than I expected," I apologise to both of them. It's 11pm and they must be so tired. I feel bad for dragging them over into this mess. As if sensing my inner storms, Namjoon comes and wraps an arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to his chest and pressing his lips to my temple.
"You know I'll come with you at the end of the earth and beyond that, right?" he murmurs against my skin and I instantly get goosebumps all over my arms and upper body.
"Inna, I promise I will never make you mad" Jungkook says from my other side.
"What do you mean?" I ask confused as we head towards the back exit. "It's Ms. Bitch to you and you will not undermine my authority again," he impersonates me with a high pitched voice.
"Oh my god, I can't believe you guys heard that" I slap a hand over my face in embarrassment. "Even better, we saw the whole thing." he replies and I frown, glancing at him from between my fingers. "We were on the other side of one-way mirror" Namjoon explains.
"Oh dear lord! Have you guys heard about privacy? Really now!" I say annoyed removing Namjoon's arm from my shoulder and heading to the opposite direction to submit the document I totally forgot about.
"I told you it was a bad idea" Jungkook says, but they just burst out into laughter behind me. Haha, so funny. They are both nothing but oversized babies.
"Don't follow me or I'll kill you both!" I say without looking back. "Baby, come on, we were just curious." Namjoon pleads with me, but there is still amusement in his voice. "Get lost!" I shout over my shoulder.
"Hyung, come on, let's go outside. She's scary when she's mad." I hear Jungkook trying to persuade his big brother and I guess he succeeded because they don't follow me.
Maybe Jungkook did it for fun or out of curiosity, but I know for sure Namjoon did it for my safety, so he can make sure my client won't try something funny on me. I noticed how he glared at my client after all the shit he caused tonight. He wasn't taking any chances with that guy.
