บท 18: Ji Hoon
As far as he could tell, she was also feeling the same. However her mood suddenly changed and her vibe turned to be quite dangerous.
"Just go!'' At this moment her shout came with a faint roar out of her inner anger. Ji Hoon was startled by this before his face turned serious.
He knew something bad was going to happen, something bad was going to happen to her.
"Just go!" she added, and this time her tone was soft enough to melt away his heart.
He wanted to stay. He wanted to help. He wanted to tell her he wasn't weak and could stand his ground against strong thugs, even though her men were nothing in front of him.
But he refrained from doing that. After all, he had to protect his current identity if he ever wanted to catch that boss.
"Just... be safe, alright?" he said these painful words to her before turning around and starting to run.
As he got closer to the gates, he noticed that many of the guards went running in such a hurry. He could see the anxiety over their faces, something he would never miss.
'Is it so bad?' He couldn't help but turn around and check the surrounding buildings. The closest and highest enough one was almost hundreds of meters away from Anna's location.
But without hesitation he darted towards it while he suddenly started to have a very bad omen.
A very bad thing was going to happen now! Was going to happen to her!
Without hesitation he put on his special glasses and pressed on one of its sides to activate his face mask.
"Call the old man," he said in urgency while trying to push himself so fast towards that building.
"What are you up to, ungrateful boy?" The moment the call linked, the laughing sound of the old man echoed in his ears.
"Stop messing around, I need help now!" Ji Hoon said in such urgency while he was about to reach the building.
During his run there, he noticed a weird movement all around that theme park. It was like an army of normal looking, pale skinned people were aiming to surround the entire park for some reason.
In his opinion, they weren't that much of a deal for him. Even with their large numbers, he was confident in breaking his way through them all by himself.
However Anna's weird attitude made him realize there must be a hidden threat than those weak looking people.
"What? Is the police on your tail? Are you on the run?" the old man shouted before adding in an urgent tone, "why the hell did you call me? You know the protocol! Once one is down, he can't get any help from me!"
"Don't say these bad words right now," Ji Hoon arrived at the building. It seemed to be a normal living building. He didn't hesitate to aim directly towards the elevator. "Don't bring more luck back to me right now!"
"Oh, so what's the rush then? Stupid kid, you nearly made me have a heart attack!"
"I need you to hack into any surveillance cameras at the old theme park in the western side of the city," Ji Hoon stopped in front of the elevator which didn't respond to any of his urging pressing on the buttons.
"Sh*t! It's broken!" he cursed the moment he saw this small, badly handwritten paper on one side of the elevator.
"What's broken?"
"Just get into these cameras for me!"
"Is it a job?" the old man suddenly asked before pausing for a moment, "right, you are wanted for several jobs already but you didn't pick one yet."
"Just do it for me!" Ji Hoon jumped directly towards the nearby stairs and started to climb them in big strides.
"Kid, I'm not running a charity here, y'know that!"
"Cut the fees from my own account," Ji Hoon hurriedly said, "doing something like that won't cost you much effort and time."
"But it's an extra without even getting properly paid for it."
"I said I will pay you for that!" Ji Hoon started to pant while he climbed only five stories. This building was at least fifteen stories high. So he still had a long way up to the top.
"Tsk, if not that I like you, I wouldn't have accepted such a commission," the old man started to rant about it, "I never accept any personal commission from my boys. You know that. And still you came asking for my help."
"You helped that jackass Ragel a few months ago," Ji Hoon was trying to decrease the words he was saying. If not he would have retorted in a harsh and mean way towards this ungrateful old man.
"Ah, that was just a mistake I made back there because I care about him."
"And you don't care about me? You always say I'm your beloved son among all, right?"
"Tsk, playing on my soft heart won't prevent me from cutting my fees from your account."
Ji Hoon was already out of breath. He was almost about to reach the tenth level in the building. He doubted he could see almost everything from his position up there.
So the help from his old man was something crucial for him. However the next few moments the old man returned with a loud laugh.
"It's your lucky day kid."
"How?"
"I couldn't find a single camera inside that old and good for nothing park!"
"What?!!!" Ji Hoon couldn't help but abruptly stop. He almost lost his balance and was so close to falling off the stairs. "How is that possible?!!" he couldn't believe what the old man just said.
"All the cameras working are far away from this place," the old man said before adding, "whoever owns this place, he made sure no one will ever peek over what's going on there."
The old man didn't speak for a long minute while Ji Hoon decided to keep climbing the stairs. After all he had nothing else but hope. His spot up there would be enough to get him to see everything, that was what he hoped for.
"I don't like the smell of that place, kid," the old man suddenly said in serious tone, "I hope you don't do something stupid this time."
"Y'know me old man," Ji Hoon said before touching the side of his glasses, "I have to go, thanks for nothing anyway."
