UNTOUCHABLE - SEULRENE

SR - COLONY

"I can't find the kid anywhere in the Sanctuary, Cap. She's not there."

Joohyun covered her mouth, attempting to stifle her cry. Seungwan hugged her.

"I think I should take you out, Joohyun. This may be too much for you to take."

"No. I won't go out unless I see my daughter again..."

Seungwan sensed there's no point trying to argue. She continued hugging her friend instead. "Don't worry. This isn't the first time something like this happened. I'm sure Seulgi will be able to find her."

"I just hope so, Seungwan. I just hope so..."

"WHAT!"

"I checked all the places, Cap. The kid's not there."

"Shit!" Seulgi left her troop and dashed towards Sanctuary Four. Although it is still foggy, she can see how the barriers were destroyed because of the bomb.

"Yerim!!!" Seulgi shouted inside the Sanctuary. She went to the back and called the little kid again.

No answer.

"Fuck!" Seulgi paced back and forth in the room, breathing hard. "Control Room, look for any trails. The bomb weakened the Evens. They shouldn't be far away."

"On it, Cap." There was a short silence before the man spoke again, "There's a trail northeast of you, Cap--"

Seulgi ran outside the Sanctuary right away without waiting for the person to finish. She injected another booster in her vein and followed the trail, leaving her troop behind.

"The kid's captured." Seulgi motioned to her radio. "Don't bother to kill all of them. Follow me. Make sure to take another booster. We don't know what's waiting for us there."

"Roger, Cap," said Krystal, Amber, and Sooyoung.

Seulgi felt hope when she finally got a sight of the trail. She moved further until it led her to an underground opening.

"Disengage, Cap. We don't know what's inside," a voice from the Control Room said.

Seulgi observed the hole that's about ten feet high. "Is this where the herd came from?"

"Captain Seulgi, this is Commander Sunny. Don't go in there unless you have a backup. I repeat, don't go in there unless you have a backup."

Seulgi looked over her shoulder. Her troop isn't there yet. She sighed. She looked at her watch, her eyes focussing on the seconds running.

"Captain Seulgi, I need your confirmation," said Commander Sunny.

Seulgi took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, Commander. But the kid is in there. I may be able to get her alive if I go in now."

"Captain Seulgi, yo--"

Seulgi threw out her earpiece and radio far away. And without second thoughts, she dove in.

Commander Sunny massaged her head. She motioned to one of the personnel. "Let's connect with Sooyoung instead."

"Copy, Commander." The man pressed some buttons.

"Control Room," said Sooyoung's voice.

"Sooyoung, this is Commander Sunny. Your captain has run amok. Follow her quickly and get out from there as fast as you can. Copy that?"

"Roger, Commander."

"Over and out for now."

After that, Commander Sunny sat on the chair and stared at the screen above, particularly the one displaying the inside of the tunnel Seulgi went in. It is dark because the light inside is coming only from the camera attached to Seulgi's suit.
