‍‍‍‍Garam took his gun and together with Shiyang ahead of him, they went to the exploded car .

Shiyang didn't move any closer before the car , went further to explode for the second time sending Shiyang into the air. Garam jumped and caught him before his skull hit the ground. Because of that heroic act , he landed onto Garam. Unfortunately the glass had cut Shiyang`s hand and most of his forearm causing him to bled off. he could ignore it but it stung and his uniform was already telling off the symptoms of a wound

He rolled off him and felt the wound burning his hand . Garam was still massaging his back that felt the impact strongly . He regretted jumping behind him when it is clear that he probably weighs more than him . Nevertheless he was more worried about the commissioner`s son . He checked on Shiyang whom was already bleeding profusely through his multiple cuts. On close inspection, there were some cuts on his face, neck and shoulders as well as legs because the`one were the parts that were not protected by the bullet-proof vest

“ go take care of that . There is a kit in the back”, he announced and Shiyang had already flew towards it .

After inspecting the exploded vehicle, he called it in to the department and the fire house then returned back to his car .

Being uni-arm was challenging and it was clear Shiyang was still struggling with opening the packets. Garam took the packets and he got dressed in gloves . Fortunately the cuts were not too deep because the bleeding was minimal and could be attended here. He removed the glass, stitched the cuts , cleaned some bloods spreads and gave Shiyang a shirt that he keeps in the car. It was a little oversized but Shiyang was glad for not having to wear his own blood . Shiyang didn’t think that Garam knew how to use a first-aid kit but then again it is a requirement in order to graduate the academy . He finished dressing the wounds on his legs and everywhere else then told him to head to the hospital afterwards . Shiyang agreed like a child .

Garam went to the wheel and Shiyang remained there looking at the car that was now being surrounded by police officers . The fire department was far away and the traffic was heavy. Shiyang was confused what was going but he didn't want to be kept in the dark like this so he called Minjun. Unannouncedly Garam snatched the phone from him and hung up .

" radio signs can activate a bomb! ", he stated implying that there is a possibility that the car there could be another bomb close to. even if it is parotid to keep thinking like it , it is better to be safe than sorry . While they both returned to the car , the phone rang and when Garam looked at it , there was Namkyu's name written on the screen.

The two exchanged eyes and Shiyang didn't respond to the look . It is unexpected to have Namkyu`s number but during the time that Namkyu was always at the station , Minjun tweaked a lot of Namkyu`s settings in his phone . he then installed an identification app that allows for identification for callers . they also gave Namkyu everyone`s contacts in case something happens . The police help-line may help but it may not always be fast

Garam hung up and Namkyu called again . He gave it to him and Shiyang answered

"Officer , someone has been following me for the past three hours and they are wearing all black. They look so familiar “,

There was audible panic , fear and insecurity in the quiver from the voice in the phone . He immediately put it on speaker but Garam had already boarded the car

" how familiar? ",

"Like someone you see when under anesthesia. They are walking faster towards me . I AM SCARED !!",

Namkyu hung up and Shiyang panicked . He tried to call him again but the call would not go through . Inspector lee tore open the passenger door then narrated the whole story to Garam . in no time Garam called Minjun and asked him to trace the call that Shiyang just received .

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Shiyang connected a cable to the digital car-radio so that Minjun could aces the phone . They watched the hd display of the radio and immediately routed the coordinates to the last call to Garam`s GPS and it was a few blocks away from Namkyu's motel . It was a building in construction but was currently unattended for some reason .

Garam headed towards the place but midway , Garam's phone rang and it was Namkyu again. Robotically he repeated the same thing that he said to Shiyang but Garam didn't know because he didn't hear the call contents and nor did he let Shiyang hear the call when he might have noticed the pattern . When Minjun traced that one, it was blinking all over the place on the map but finally stopped near the safe house that the witnesses are going to.

Shiyang looked at Garam , not exactly knowing what to think of the situation.

"Let's split !", Shiyang suggested and Garam refused because he thinks if indeed Namkyu is being chased by a murder or one of the syndicates , it would be a bad idea to have Shiyang go alone there. Another thing is that they can’t send a unit over to the person because they don’t know if it’s not trap .

”there are officers already at the safe house so lets go to him , TOGETHER”, he answered and Shiyang agreed again this time without dispute

maybe it’s just Garam but it seems that Shiyang is really obedient after that small pep talk. Perhaps he feels like he can rely on Garam and agree with him on important things . It’s a positive turnout that Garam would like to comment on but is afraid that it might be cut short by those words .

They reached the construction site in less than fifty minutes which was very applaudable because the site is normally or averagingly two hours away on a clear road at night .

When he parked in the driveway , he called Minjun to check if he can zoom in to check for civilians using the satellites cameras . Unfortunately he said that he can’t because most the cameras can’t visualize the heat-radiation of the place inside. That means that Garam and Shiyang have to head inside the building blind. He geared up more ammunition and he gave some to Shiyang was already brimming with ammunition.

“I will cover you !We don’t know what we are dealing so we should be careful . Also don't take unnecessary risks and refrain from doing something less intelligent . “, he advised Shiyang but Shiyang didn’t react because he was thinking about what is about happen .

It terrified him to be so hands-on like this in any mission. Graduating the police academy he learned how to dry-swallow his fear like a bitter pill so that he doesn’t label as a disappointment in his father`s eyes . But every once in a while , his nerves and strength fall flat to the ground and he starts getting poisonous thoughts . When that happens , all he wants to do is cry like a child but he is not allowed to not be strong because he will be punished mercilessly. What is it called when you are weak then want it to stop because of other people but still want to let your body be vulnerable yet you are still afraid of being weak and your brain is a captain of an army while your heart is crumbling in the war?

“If you are scared , jut imagine your fear as a butterfly and squash it or you can imagine your strength as a soldier in arms next to you . “,Garam counseled him

” fear means your brain doesn’t work okay . How can I imagine things?”,he quivered, on the brink of tears because his walls were shaking

“ well, i guess i shall be a butterfly-killer”, Garam armed his gun and he heroically went into the abandoned apartment

The two zoomed to the apartment and looked everywhere in every floor of the three-story but there was nothing . Garam called Minjun and said that the phone signal was still active where he is . He asked Minjun to guide him and that he did.

He traced the phone signal and noticed it getting stronger with how much he was nearing a large vessel . The vessel seems like it had just been moved but what scared him the most was that it was big enough to hide a human body

Shiyang was checking the corners and looking for anything that he should notice but he wasn’t picking anything . He felt a lot less like crying when he stood at the edge of building in the highest floor but unfortunately the constant urge to jump was as strong as all the other times.

” Detective , this place is a bit too causal and not convenient since i would like to think it is more purposeful for these kinds of people to multi-task”, he stated and turned when he saw Garam staring at the container.

He left his position and he carelessly went to the container. Shiyang double-took Garam and the vessel . He couldn’t tell why Garam was stone-struck staring at metal .

Seeming like he ignored Garam`s earlier warming ,he raised his gun to it and tapped the vessel.It made a deafening resonant sound which reassured Garam that it was empty . With relief, Garam turned to look around the room and just then he turned back to Shiyang when he heard a small sound

There was a bomb on the lid Shiyang just took off!!

” SHIYANG!!!!!”,
