The Surviving Victim in Hwanak Neighborhood (2)
What! What! Just whats with you! You motherfucker!
Clang!
I pulled him off the table, while pushing it away with a kick.
The table easily slid across the room.
With the same motion, I drove him into the nearest wall.
Chu Oh-Myeong!
Police officers came running in and subdued the enraged Chu Oh-Myeong.
The guy was still trying to rush at me while foaming at the mouth.
As he was forced to lie flat on the floor, he shouted something that sounded like a curse.
Even still, you fucker! Ive won you fucking motherfucker! That bitch is dead no matter what! Ahahahaha! Shes dead. I killed her! Aaaargh!
N-newbie. Whats with that bastard? Its kinda scary.
He was showing an unsurpassed level of madness.
Black drew back and turned to look at me.
Because of how Chu Oh-Myeong had screamed with such hate, his voice started to crack as he spoke.
Theyve already said that theyre going to bulldoze the whole neighbourhood at 11 oclock today. You guys cant do anything to save her. Youre acting like youre so clever, but youre just stupid bastards who cant do anything!
He shouted this at us viciously.
I checked the time, but it was already 10:55 am.
At best, we only had five minutes left.
My teammates turned to look at me in bewilderment.
The last victim is in Hwanak Neighbourhood. Since that bastard has really lost his mind, he must have hidden her somewhere in there For now, we need to stop them from demolishing any buildings.
And the exact location?
I dont know.
Shit! Ill take the bike there first!
With a curse, Mong-Doo ran off.
Meanwhile, we looked for the phone number of the official construction companys office on a laptop.
As Black dialed the phone, his hands were shaking.
Hello? This is the Su-An Police Station-Wait! No! This isnt a voice-phishing scam. Its a long story, but weve received a report that there is a kidnapping victim currently trapped in Hwanak Neighbourhood. Ive already told you, Im not messing with you!
The longer the call went on, the darker Blacks expression became.
They say that theyre a subcontractor, so they dont have any authority. And that its hard to get them to stop immediately, since they just finished all their preparations to get started. Then they just keep threatening to kill me if this really is a prank call. What about Mong-Doo? Is he still on his way?
Im going crazy. Even on a bike, Mong-Doo wont be able to get there in time.
Black kept his ear glued to his handphone as he nodded his head intently.
yes, yes? Ah, really? He says that hell help us out, if we can tell him the exact building to avoid demolishing. Since he has to do this without permission from the top, thats the most that he can do for us.
However, by the looks of things, Chu Oh-Myeong would definitely refuse to say another word. Team Leader anxiously asked another question.
And just who are their superiors? Which company are they from?
Gu-Gunbaek Construction.
Gunbaek Construction?
Team Leader quickly entered Gunbaek Constructions website.
They had a multitude of departments and managers.
It looked like he was panicking about which person he needed to call.
The Customer Support Team? No, thats not it. Just who should I- where should I call?
I took out my handphone and dialed Chief Kim.
-Yes, young master.
Theres an emergency, so please give me Nam Sae-Has number.
-Ah just a moment.
Chief Kim was quite tactful.
He didnt even ask what was going on.
Was this because he was the secretary at a large company?
All eyes, from Chu Oh-Myeong to my teammates, were focussed on me.
After a minute that felt like an hour flew past, I heard Chief Kims voice.
-Ill call it out for you.
Hyungnim. Dial the numbers Im calling out.
-0102748
0102748
Without hanging up on Chief Kim, I also picked up Blacks handphone.
I heard the dial tone as soon as I pressed the call button.
Please pick up, pick up, pick up
-Yes. This is Nam Sae-Ha speaking.
It was a sophisticated, baritone voice.
Nam Sae-Ha sounded just as I remembered him.
This is Gogwangs Go Ji-Hun. Do you remember me?
-Ah. Youre Go Min-Guks younger brother, right? Of course. Its been a while-
Im sorry, but please save the pleasantries for later. Please halt the demolitions in Hwanak Neighbourhood. For the whole area. Weve received information that a missing person is being held there.
Nam Sae-Ha seemed surprised and was silent for a moment.
-Are you sure about this information? Were spending a lot of money on the project, so if this is just a simple incident-
Im certain of it.
I resolutely interrupted him.
Nam Sae-Ha hesitated out of uncertainty, but soon gave his agreement.
If he didnt, it could spell the end for an already controversial redevelopment once a body was found.
