„Daddy!” DooSan suddenly heard someone calling him. Looking behind him, he saw a five-year-old boy heading straight toward him. The boy was so happy while pedaling his bicycle. „I learned how to do this!” The child shouted again. „I’m great at this, can you see that?”
Seeing the boy, DooSan seemed surprised at first. Then, he smiled and said something to the one with whom he was talking by phone, hanging up the phone call after that. And, still looking at the child, he smiled at him. He even made a sign to the boy that that one was doing everything great.
Suddenly DooSan shuddered when he saw a black car heading at speed toward the kid. Then, throwing his phone away, he ran as fast as he could toward the child, who, hearing the noise of the tires behind him, looked back. Yet, even if he saw that car approaching him, he didn’t do anything to move away from it. That’s why DooSan shouted, going crazy, „No, Un, no! Move aside! Aside! Now! No!”
The rest… was darkness all around. A thud was only heard after this - of the tires sliding on the asphalt when the driver finally stepped on the brake pedal. And, soon after this, the impact of the car with the bicycle was heard. Then… nothing more.
Nevertheless, it had been enough for DooSan to feel his blood freezing in his veins. And, sitting on the bed, he touched his chest with his palms. He was breathing fast while his eyes looked through the room, as though he didn’t understand where he was. Only in the end, he realized that he had dreamt everything and this calmed him a little, especially after he understood that he was still in SoRan’s house, in the same bed that he had shared with SolHi. Yet, she wasn’t with him.
„Where did she go?” The man wondered, frowning when he realized that he was alone. Then, standing up, he left the room.
It was darkness all along the corridor, just as he saw nobody there. There was also silence in the rooms found on the second floor of the house, and this bothered him a little, even though he didn’t understand why, so he hurried to descend the stairs eventually. Getting to the ground floor, he saw IuNa in the small living room of Lee’s house. She was alone there, holding a broom and a dustpan while gathering some hair from off the floor. Seeing this, DooSan frowned, not understanding what was going on there. Because of confusion and amazement, the man stopped halfway descending the stairs and stared at the young woman who didn’t see him coming at first.
Hearing the noise coming from the stairs, IuNa looked at DooSan, smiling. „Are you finally awake, Sleeping Beauty?”
DooSan squinted at her. „In case you haven’t noticed, I’m exactly the opposite gender of the Sleeping Beauty.”
„Yet, this doesn’t mean you can’t be one,” replied IuNa, chortling. Then, finishing sweeping the hair, she threw it into the small trash can she brought for this.
„What’s that?” DooSan asked, staring at her.
„Just… a change of look!” The young woman said, grinning.
„Yeah, I could understand that. What I don’t know is whose look you’ve changed.”
„Of someone who deserved that,” responded IuNa seriously. „Of someone who didn’t deserve to lose so many things in such a short time. Even her hair.”
„SolHi?”
„Herself! Actually, I thought that a change would be something good for all of us. It will also draw less attention to her because you cannot deny that her „extravagant hairstyle” was something easy to notice. Besides, I considered her hairstyle a kind of offense brought to the modern style. So, as it was something that bothered me, I decided to bring her closer to modernism. Your girlfriend deserves that, right?”
DooSan cooked his nose. „I see that your journalist’s nose hasn’t retired yet. It still smells the stories related to lovers and scandal from far away.”
„You know me already! If a story is something interesting for the public, I’m also there. And it’s a shame, you know?! That I cannot publish this story on the first page of the scandal magazines. It would have definitely been bomb news because journalists don’t often find such stories as „The heart of the Prosecutor Han was cuffed up by a fugitive.”
The man showed her his fangs. „It wasn’t funny at all. And, talking about the fugitive, where is she?”
„Ian SolHi? She has just left!”
„What?” DooSan growled. „Where?”
„What do I know?! She said something about important things to solve.”
„Really important things, by the way,” said SoRan, who approached them. „Yet, she’ll be back soon. So, no panic, okay?! And, Prosecutor Han, stop worrying so much! Ian SolHi is a grown woman and can handle things alone.”
„I also know that. Yet, what I can’t understand is how she could take such a risk. We all know that San DuSik and his dogs are still rounding this place. You still know that, right?”
SoRan smiled, taking DooSan by surprise. She did that, in particular, when she told him, „His problem. To look for her, I mean because… I’m sure that it will be damn difficult to find her.” This response made DooSan frown. „What?”
„You seem suspicious, has someone ever told you that?”
„All the time. If I’m not mistaken, the last time someone told me this, it was you, Prosecutor. Anyway, whether I look suspicious or not, this is already something I can’t change. Still, it’s not something I want. Why? Because… This gives me a certain privilege. At the same time, this assures me the entrance to the DOC building, where I dropped a package this morning. A damn explosive one, by the way.”
„Ian SolHi?” DooSan asked, pop-eyed. „Do you mean that SolHi went directly to the bear’s cave?”
„She didn’t go but was taken there. Driven there, better said,” replied SoRan playfully. Seeing her friends staring at her, she reproachfully shook her head when she said, „You and your exaggeration. Why? Nothing bad will happen. Not as long as everything goes according to the plan. Still, we have to do something to get rid of DuSik’s dogs, who are still here, blowing down our necks.”
DooSan frowned again. „Are they here again?” Approaching the window and looking through it, he saw a black off-road car with tinted windows not that far from the gate. „They don’t even try to be discreet.”
„Why should they do that? They want us to know that they are here. And… They returned this morning. Those from inside the car, I mean because, to surprise you more than this, someone has always kept an eye on this house because San DuSik left only to deceive us.”
Taking the tablet from SoRan’s hand, IuNa and DooSan saw another car, a gray sedan this time, parked in the same place as the black one was parked. A few moments later, they saw how the black car had taken the gray one’s place. And, for seconds only, DooSan saw the face of a stranger in the front seat of the gray car, on the passenger’s side, talking to someone whose face they didn’t see. „A lookout post!” IuNa murmured.
„Yes, you are perfectly right. Even so, they waste their time because nobody is stupid here to allow them to deceive us. Neither will they scare us if they breathe down our necks all the time.”
„What I don’t get is how SolHi got out of here,” DooSan asked, giving the tablet to IuNa and taking a few steps toward SoRan, who was peeling an apple.
„Very simple,” the young woman said, eyes on the knife. „My mother helped her because… she wasn’t the wife of a DOC agent for decades, in vain. And, because of the same privilege, of being Captain Lee Do Hun’s wife, nobody checked her car when she left the yard. If they had done that, they would have seen SolHi on the rear chair. Yet, this doesn’t mean that they haven’t followed my mother. A motorcyclist did that.”
„And… this means that their trick can be discovered any time.”
„Not necessary,” said SoRan through her teeth, amazing IuNa. „Why? Because… even if they followed my mother to the DOC building, nobody has access to that place without authorization. Not to the parking lot, anyway. Thus, both mother and SolHi are safe.”
„Even so, I can’t understand what SolHi is trying to do by visiting the building of the DOC,” said DooSan, frowning again. Then, when he remembered what they talked about a night ago, he winced and, staring at SoRan, who enjoyed her apple, he told her, „Don’t tell me that she’s there to look for the document Lee signed and where he accepted that SolHi went to jail undercover.”
„Of course not,” replied SoRan calmly. „She’s not there for that but to see Kim HanSol.”
„The new Chief of DOC?”
„Herself.”
„The reason?”
„Let’s just say that it was necessary. And, if you want to find out more about this, you should ask SolHi when she’s back. I won’t say a word more about this.”
„Lee SoRan!” DooSan furiously shouted.
„What? I’m just trying to watch my back. And, to stop blaming me for every single bad thing that happens, I’ll tell you that it wasn’t my idea but SolHi’s.”
„And, once you two can be considered Siamese cats, who do things without thinking about the consequences, I assure you that you have the same guilt to share.”
„That sounded like an insult to me, Prosecutor.”
„I’m glad you can read through lines when it’s necessary. Now, let’s go back to the real problem: why are you so sure that Kim HanSol won’t arrest SolHi as soon as she sees her? Let’s not forget that SolHi was sentenced for two crimes and all the law enforcement are behind her.”
„She won’t do that because… Kim HanSol is as involved as Captain Lee in this mission,” said IuNa.
„Bingo! You are actually right because… HanSol and my father were the only ones who knew about this mission. At least I think it has been so. Thus, as my father is dead, HanSol is the only one who can bring some light to this case and help SolHi get rid of charges for all the crimes she’s supposed to have committed.”
„Something damn difficult to achieve, SoRan. Why? As far as I know, there isn’t evidence that SolHi has been part of DOC. Thus, we won’t ever be capable of proving that she isn’t guilty of the two crimes.”
„At least we can prove that she didn’t kill her former colleague,” IuNa said, making the two attentive. „How? By manipulating the evidence, which So Ari left behind. Thus, with a little bit of luck and thanks to the video you uploaded online earlier, we can at least sow some discord among people. Who knows?! We can be lucky and SolHi is released for lack of evidence again.
„Still, she won’t be exonerated,” DooSan opposed IuNa’s idea. „I don’t think she wants to be released this way again: to be free but still a suspect. No, she experienced this seven years ago after the trial when people had judged her. It’ll be too much to experience this again.”
„I share the same ideas as Prosecutor Han this time. If we release SolHi, it has to be for her being declared innocent and not still a suspect. For this to happen, she has to stay hidden. At least for the moment, until we find evidence that she’s also a victim.”
„Maybe! Yet, I don’t see how we can do that,” IuNa reticently said.
„The video. The one where it is clearly seen that SolHi hit the head of one of the two Han YuSan. Thus, we can prove that she didn’t kill your brother.”
„It’s still a piece of evidence that hasn’t been accepted by the General Attorney. If he doesn’t accept it, no judge will do that.”
„He’ll do that if we help him to make that decision.”
„I don’t see how to do that, SoRan.”
„We’ll figure out this later. Now, tell me you still have the original of that video.”
„Yes, I still have it. Yet, the problem is that not everybody thinks that’s real. On the contrary, a lot of netizens consider that’s a fake. Something we did to help SolHi get rid of the accusations.”
„It’s a normal reaction because of all the things that happened in this case.” Seeing IuNa thoughtful, SoRan found it weird. „What are you planning so intensely?”
IuNa smiled. „I? Nothing. I mean, nothing out of the ordinary. I was just thinking about how to take advantage of my abilities. What exactly? How to earn the society’s sympathy. At the same time, I think about how to make people pay more attention to other cases while we hide in the shadows. And… the best solution I can find for the moment, something that will also perfectly work against those like San DuSik, is to…”
„…win people by our side and make them sympathize with us.”
„Something like that,” responded IuNa, smiling. „I think you also thought about this, even if you did that involuntarily when you posted that video online. Still, it’s evidence that a lot of the major media trusts are afraid to use it for being afraid that it’s fake. Yet, with the help of an ex-journalist, whom many have trusted, this thing can do wonders.”
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
„Yet, you forget a thing, IuNa,” said SoRan, making the two attentive. „If we fail, who’ll pay for that will be SolHi. And we along with her, of course.”
„This doesn’t mean we can’t try this, SoRan. Eventually, this is a double-edged weapon because… let’s not forget that the press does not always help to reveal the truth. It also hides it sometimes. A lot of politicians use this to hide their dirty laundry. How? By revealing other spicy stories.”
„Now that you mention that, I think we can try. But… I don’t know what story we can use this time.”
„I’ll handle this myself. Meanwhile, send me a copy of that video while I visit some friends,” IuNa confidently said, climbing the stairs.
Looking behind IuNa, SoRan reproachfully shook her head. „She’s always after troubles without a life preserver.”
„I think I know someone else like her.”
„If it was about me then… yeah, you are probably right. Yet, I don’t think that this is important but what you will do, Prosecutor Han. Will you accept her plan?”
„Honestly? I’m also not sure about this. Still, I know one thing: IuNa is right when she says that it’s better to die trying than hiding. So, we should trust her and at least try.”

The dream he had in the morning confused DooSan so much. He had thought about it for hours, better said. That’s why, feeling that he wouldn’t be able to calm down without doing that, he decided to visit Un that day. DooSan didn’t go there empty-handed but brought a big bouquet of white chrysanthemums, which he put next to another bouquet of multicolored flowers.
Looking at the second bouquet, DooSan frowned. „Someone else has been here today.”
„You are actually right, Prosecutor,” the old guardian, a man about fifty, not that tall and chubby, told him. „A lady passed by here not long ago.”
„A lady? Do you know her?”
„Yes! She’s the same young woman who often comes here and cries, whispering all the time, „Un, I’m sorry! Your mom is so sorry about everything.”
„SolHi!” DooSan whispered.
„Honestly, I don’t know her name, Prosecutor. Yes, I don’t know what her name is, although I’ve been seeing her coming here often in the last six years. And… I remember her because of the memorial plaque.”
The answer he heard from the guardian Kim made DooSan frown again. „Does she come here often? SolHi?” He asked in disbelief.
„I mean… she used to stop by often. Before being arrested.” DooSan looked at Kim, confused. „How do I know that?” The man said, smiling. „I also watch TV sometimes. And, once she’s often been in the news lately, I know about her. And… honestly, I feel sorrow for her because… she’s been unjustly accused of that crime. At least… she’s been unjustly accused of the second crime because the night the former high school teacher was killed, she’d been here.”
DooSan winced. „Was SolHi here the night of the crime?”
„Yes, and I’m so sure of this because I found her here at dawn. She was sitting in the same place where you put your bouquet. She also brought flowers with her that day and… she cried a lot.”
What the old guardian said made DooSan nervous. He felt all this, understanding that so many secrets were spinning around SolHi and that place. Then, to have evidence of his conversation with Kim, DooSan took his phone out of his pocket and, on the sly, turned the record on. Particularly, he recorded the answer of the man to his question, „Are you saying that a year ago, the night when the high school teacher was killed, Ian SolHi was here? Do you remember what she was wearing or if she was stained with blood? Maybe… was she nervous after doing something bad like… killing someone?”
„Honestly, no, Prosecutor. I mean… she didn’t seem like she did something bad or illegal. And… I don’t remember what she wore that night, but I remember that she was red-eyed, something I told the police then.”
DooSan looked at him, eyes wide open. „You said to the police? When exactly? As far as I remember, I haven’t seen your name on the list of the witnesses summoned in Court then.”
Old Kim sadly smiled. „You are right because… they didn’t believe me. Especially… The prosecutor in charge didn’t believe me, the one the police summoned there for hearing my testimony. He told me to stop inventing things and defending demons. And, if I hadn’t stopped talking nonsense, death would have looked for me.”
„Do you remember the name of that Prosecutor?”
„San or Kan, or… be he damned because he has a weird name.”
„San DuSik maybe?”
„Yeah, I think this was his name. Anyway, you can find it by reading my statement, if it’s still in the police archive. Even so, I remember that he was fulminated against those police officers for calling him there. He even yelled at the detective who took my statement. And, if I’m not mistaken, the prosecutor tore my statement apart because the detective wrote it by hand. After that, the prosecutor told them to stop calling him there for nonsense things and be careful if he needed his job. After that, I was taken out of the police station by force, something that made me understand that I had to be afraid of them. I’ve also been afraid for my family after that day. I have children and grandchildren. That’s why I stopped stopping by the police station. I did that, thinking that I’d be summoned to the trial maybe, something that didn’t happen. Thus, I got to be a silent witness and just watched on TV how an innocent woman was sentenced for something she didn’t do. But, as I still think, it has been something convenient for someone if things happened this way.”
Hearing what the guardian said, DooSan felt that he was boiling inside. Even so, he understood that the man’s decision had been a wise one. Eventually, not even he was sure who was involved in that story. Thus, as their enemies had gotten rid of important witnesses like So Ari, they could have done the same to the old man. If this had happened, he wouldn’t have ever found out the truth, something that might have been a starting point in that investigation. That’s why he told the guardian eventually, „Guardian Kim, I’ll be grateful to you if you forget what happened that night.”
The man stared at him, thunderstruck. „To forget it? I thought you cared about what happened and about the mother of that child who is resting here, in particular.”
„And I care about all this, trust me! Just… it’s not the right moment for such confessions. I’m pretty sure of this, just as I’m sure that SolHi thinks the same. That’s why, if someone else asks you about that night, tell him that you don’t remember because a year has passed or whatever crosses your mind. Eventually, when the time comes, I’ll handle this and you’ll help us.”
Kim smiled this time. „It won’t be difficult for me to do that because… I’ve done that before.” DooSan watched him, confused. „I mean… it’s exactly what I said the last time this happened.”
„The last time? When exactly?”
„A few days ago. If I’m not mistaken, it happened the same night you came here last time. A young man came and asked me the same thing then. I told him that I didn’t remember anything and, if he looked for answers, to ask you about this.”
„A young man? Do you remember who?”
„No, prosecutor. I haven’t seen him before. Even so, I have the feeling he was behind you.”
DooSan frowned. Then, he smiled. „It means that the dog San DuSik sent someone to follow me. He tries to find something against me to be able to control me.”
„Most likely yes. And… I also said this to that child’s mother: that it was dangerous for her to come here because some strange men were rounding this place. Yes, I told her that they might be someone looking for her once she was a fugitive.”
„Even so, you didn’t denounce those men. Why?”
„Because… It’s not my job to accuse people or betray others. Plus, the police didn’t believe me the last time I testified. Why would I have taken the risk of being kicked out of the police station again?”
DooSan smiled. „Smart! And… I think that it’ll also be a good idea if I leave. Eventually, none of us knows who follows me or what his intentions are for doing this.” Then, DooSan intended to leave.
He stopped eventually when the old man grabbed his arm and told him, „I also remember that the day the young lady was arrested, I talked to the florist woman. She told me that she found SolHi in front of her flower shop that morning. Better said, she’d been there for hours before the florist woman came to open the shop. I also told the police officers this, but they didn’t believe me. Thus, I don’t think someone looked for the record the florist woman had. She might still have it because I told her to keep it in case someone would ask for it.”
The old guardian’s confession made DooSan feel weird. It wasn’t anything strange to feel like this because he found out too many things in a single day, things that made him understand eventually that a stranger could disinterestedly help you than those whom you fully trusted. Yes, strangers were doing things to help SolHi and not hide the truth, and they did that because they understood that it was the only way they could make this world better.
***
After the conversation he had with old Kim, DooSan decided to check if it was right what Kim said and went to talk to the florist woman. Half an hour later, getting out of the flower shop, DooSan gave a phone call to IuNa to whom he said, „Check your email! I’ve sent you something much more important than that video.”
„Much more important than the video? What do you mean?”
„You’ll see,” replied DooSan, smiling. „A real bomb, by the way. One that can make you famous if you know how to use it or against whom to use it.” Saying this, DooSan hung up the phone and headed toward his car.
Seeing a black sedan parked not that far from his car, DooSan smiled. „Are they still after me? How did they know I was here? As far as I remember, nobody was after me when I came here. Even so, they found me, and this tells me that they not only put a tracker in my phone but also in the car.”
Realizing this, DooSan decided to check it. Yet, he had to do that discreetly, not to let his followers know that he understood their plan. Understanding this, DooSan slowly approached his car, stopping on the right side, in front of the rear door, which he opened and pretended to look for something in the bag he had on the rear chair. Then, he carefully closed the door and pretended to tie his shoelaces. While doing this, he realized that he had a good spot there and dropped his phone, which he pushed with his leg under the car. Leaning in front to take it, he managed to see a red point turning on and off right under the rear bumper.
„Damn you all!” The man hissed through his teeth. „You thought I was stupid and you could breathe down my neck without me understanding that. Well, I’ll show you what stupid people can do when they feel threatened.” Then, furious, he entered the car and, stepping on the gas pedal to the brim, he left the place.
He didn’t leave the place alone but with the black sedan following him at a respectable distance. This made DooSan think, and this happened because it was clear that those who followed him didn’t try to stay in the shadows. On the contrary, they seemed to want to let DooSan know that they were there, just as they probably understood that he saw the tracker.
„And this means that they try to scare me. Their problem because… if they think that, by following me, they will make me fail or give up, they are wrong. Why? Because… Han DooSan hasn’t ever been stupid, just as he hasn’t ever allowed someone to deceive him. At least, I won’t allow this, not to a snake as San DuSik is, whose neck I intend to twist rather than give him the chance to win in front of me.” After that, suddenly stepping on the brake pedal, he gave the black sedan the chance to pass by him. He didn’t follow the car but changed the lines and rushed in the opposite direction, this time alone.
***
It was already around five o’clock in the evening when SolHi finally decided that it was time to leave Lee Ma Rin’s car. Why? She thought it was the perfect time to make her plan work. Yes, it was undoubtedly a good moment to do that because, even if she waited in the parking lot of the DOC since morning, trying to see if someone suspected her and Mrs. Lee’s plan, nobody was seen after that there. Not even a guardian SolHi didn’t see in the parking lot, something that seemed strange to her. Yet, she understood that the parking lot was probably empty at someone’s order. That’s why she decided to be careful while sneaking inside the DOC building.
After leaving the car, SolHi decided that it would be a bad idea to stay there for longer and decided to enter the building and find Lee’s office. She thought that, once there, she could find at least a clue or evidence that Lee might have left behind. At least she wanted to believe that Lee left something behind to help her prove her innocence and get free of charges, solving that case silently.
Yet, only after five steps taken in front, SolHi winced when she heard a slight noise behind her. This made her stop. Then, she suddenly turned toward the one who followed her, catching a set of keys on the fly, which the young woman about thirty, who was only a few steps from her, had thrown at her. Who was that woman? SolHi had no idea.
Not the same happened to the stranger, who seemed to know her, and this seemed suspicious to SolHi. It also seemed suspicious to her the fact that the other woman was smiling at her when she should have been on alert because of the black clothes and cap SolHi wore, something that looked suspicious too. Yet, this didn’t happen, something that made SolHi frown eventually. Seconds after that, she started thinking about what would have been better for her: to leave or stay. Yet, she couldn’t decide over this, something that was new even for her.
„Something that’s new even for me,” the stranger told her. „Why? Because… I feel weird knowing you here, just as you seem confused once you can’t decide if you should stay or go after I discovered you here.”
„You can say it so,” replied SolHi drily. „And… judging by the way you speak to me, I understand you know who I am. Something strange, in my opinion. It is as strange as the fact that you are here alone when you should have called the cops.”
„Why should I have done that? Eventually… I’m also part of the law enforcement, right?”
„What do I know?! I don’t know you. Thus, I can only guess that you are also a cop, once you are here, in the parking lot of DOC. Even so, you seem damn calm while staying in front of a fugitive. May I ask you why?”
„Because… I’m a friend?” The stranger said, taking a few steps toward SolHi. She did the same number of steps back, looking on the sly around for a gate to escape. Then, SolHi stopped the moment the stranger did the same. And, smiling at her, the stranger said, „Do you really think that I’m here to catch you?”
„Then?”
„Just… to ask you for a favor?!”
SolHi frowned. „A favor? From me? The one wanted by the entire Korean Police?”
„Yes, from you… the one wanted by everybody. Why? Because… I’m sure you are the only one who can fulfill Captain Lee’s plan. I know very well what kind of old devil he was. That’s why I know he hadn’t ever been wrong about those whom he hired for his missions. One of these missions is related to what happened a year ago when he sent you behind bars.”
„And you know that because…”
„…I’ve been the one who has been initially in charge in this case. The one related to child trafficking, I mean. And, even if I don’t like to admit this, I have to: I failed. That’s why you entered the game.”
„Maybe, but… still: I don’t understand what my role is in this case. Just as… I don’t understand what you want from me now: to enter jail again and find the famous accomplice for you?”
The stranger weirdly smiled. „Only if you have supernatural powers and you can take her out of hell. She’s dead.”
„Dead? When did this happen?”
„Two years ago.”
SolHi glared at her. „Even knowing that, you sent me behind bars?”
„Yes! Why? We also didn’t know that she was already dead. We’ve recently found out about this when we checked Kam BoRam.”
„The dead guardian?”
„Herself! She’d been one of those involved in Kil DalRae’s murder.” SolHi winced, frowning after this because she finally remembered what Ha Rin told her once. This made the stranger attentive. „Did you know her?”
„No. I mean… I hadn’t ever met her. I only know her name.”
„How?”
„Coincidence. And… not this is important but to tell me what you want from me.”
„To live!” The stranger confidently told her. „I need you alive to identify the one who’s behind this business. He’s someone damn influential and powerful. He’s as powerful as he is dangerous. Why am I so sure of that? Because… none of those who ever met him lived enough to tell others about him.”
„What makes you think that I’ll have a different fate?”
„Simple: you are a ghost, something that is a privilege for you.”
„A ghost? I?” SolHi asked, smiling. „I assure you that I’m as real as you see me. If you don’t believe me, you can come closer and touch me.”
„I say no to that. Why? Because… I have something better than this: the power to turn you into a real ghost… forever.”
When the stranger said that, her eyes maliciously shone, something that made SolHi attentive. She also swallowed hard after this, understanding that she entered that trap alone and that she had been brought there for the stranger to get rid of her. Realizing this, SolHi tried to escape. Yet, she hadn’t been as lucky as it had happened to her when she escaped jail because, after only a few steps in front, the stranger fired her gun and a bullet hit her back, turning her into a ghost… forever.
