Ganster's Squad

Chapter 38: Secrets and games.

Natasha called Woosung to tell him what Shownu discovered. She wasn't feeling like herself. She was tired and down right exhausted with everything. If only she could crawl under a rock and hide for the rest of her life, that would have been perfect for her. She couldn't, too many people counted on her.

Woosung entered the coffee shop, his eyes wide open at the sight of her. "Are you ok?"

"I've seen better days. I have news on the girls."

"Are you sure it's the right time? You look like you need a good night sleep."

"We are gathering tonight to make a plan to free them, I don't have time to sleep. I'll sleep when I'm dead." she said rubbing the back of her neck. 'By the way things are going I'm sure it's not too long.' she added in her mind.

"Fine. I trust you." Woosung eyed her suspiciously. "What do you know?"

Natasha started to explain about Kane, how in the past he tried to make an army of human drones with no feelings, and that probably he will use the girls as baby making machines, since kidnapping children was more difficult now.

"Do you know what he really wants?"

Natasha sighted and closed her eyes. Everyone had questions she either didn't have an answer to, either she didn't want to tell them. In this case, she didn't knew. She hoped that Kane wasn't Seung-won, if he was, she wanted very much to know how the hell he survived with three bullets in his chest. Bullets, she fired. He couldn't be alive, Kara was definitely wrong.

"I don't know. What I do know, is that nothing will go according to plan. I can't keep my promise to do it somewhat legal. The gangs will kill him. And to be honest, for what he did I would do it too."

Woosung rubbed his forehead. "I don't know how I can build my report on this."

"Is that really important for you?"

"If my bosses find out I came to you, they will fire my ass."

Natasha took his hand and gave him a gentle squish. "I will deal with that when we get there."

"What do you mean?" Woosung was scared at the prospect of her helping him more.

"That's not important right now." She couldn't let Woosung deal with the aftermath of her decision. She couldn't implicate him more than she already did. "I'll find a way to secure your back. I don't know how yet, I promise I'll find a way."

"You do know that I'm a grown up and I can take care of myself right? You don't need to worry about me."

"I'm sorry that I gave you the impression that I cared about you." She released his hand and smiled sadly. "I'm doing this for me. I need a man in the police and I only trust you."

'Ah... there it was. The real reason.' he thought. But looking at her, he doubted she didn't care. "Do what you can. Either way, as long as the girls are safe, I'll deal with the things on my side."

"Sure. Whatever you say." She got up to leave, but he grabbed her arm.

"Are you sure you are fine?" He was indeed concerned about her.

Natasha smiled. "Yes. I'm sure. I'm the last person you need to think about." She reassured him.

Woosung nodded, he didn't believe her. She wasn't being her usual sarcastic self, it bothered him. "I'll be waiting news from you."

Natasha didn't say anything else, she just left. She got into her car and texted Minho to bring her sister and Minso to Bangtan's house. She was grateful that Namjoon agreed to keep them in his house for protection. She prayed to whoever was willing to listen to her, to make it out without breaking in pieces. Maybe she shouldn't have ended things with him, maybe she should have told him about her past. She shook her head. No... She couldn't. It was too late for regrets. She did it and she should hold on to her choice. 'Why does it hurt so much?' she asked herself. Natasha leaned her head on the steering wheel with her eyes closed. Tears threatening to erupt like a volcano destroying everything around.
