Lalisa's POV
The ride to the gun range is silent, I slowly look at BamBam and he just stares forward. It's my fault that he got punished, it should've been me, not him. This is so ridiculous, Namjoon is such an ass. I grab a hold of BamBam's hand, and a grin works up on his serious face. He looks at me and smiles, I then feel sad for some reason. I pick his hand up and press it against my lips, "I'm sorry." I say against his skin, quietly.
He shakes his head and still grins at me, making me frown. I lean against him as I hold his arm. The drive is for a while, until we finally arrive to a warehouse of some sort. "We'll be here until sunset, tell Sehun to arrange the hotel rooms again and to send another escort car." Namjoon tells the driver. "Of course." The driver answers. Namjoon looks around the inside of the car, "Let's go." He says.
We all get up and exit the escort car, Namjoon leads the way as we walk up to the warehouse. When we walk up to the door, Namjoon punches in a code and the door opens. He walks in first and we all follow behind, I hold onto BamBam. When I step through the door, I'm very surprised about how the inside looks compared to the outside of the warehouse. The inside is really nice, nicer than the safe house we were in.
The walls are a deep grey, for each shooting window, there's a glass protector. On the west side of the shooting range dozens of guns are displayed. The metal door closes and automatically locks behind me. The area is well lit with rows of lights. Everyone automatically walks up to the guns that are displayed. "Ah, feels so nice to touch one of these babies again." CL says, she picks up a rather large handgun. "Desert Eagle 50ae pistol baby." She tells me.
I raise my eyebrows, "Wow CL, isn't it heavy?" I ask, causing everyone to laugh, even BamBam. "Oh little sister, you're so funny." Gummy says. Jackson walks over and grabs a machine gun, and I only know the name of the gun because it's an obvious gun everyone knows, the M16. Namjoon grabs several handguns and walks over to the windows for shooting.
He places three at one and three at another, "Lalisa, come here." He says in a low tone. I walk over to him and everyone continues to grab guns before they place them in a chosen window as well. "I got you the smallest hand pistols, Okay?" Why is he being so nice!? I just nod to him, he pulls my wrist gently and stands me in the correct spot. "Here."
With a very swift movement he pushes a button on the gun and a black long metal thing falls out of the gun, which I know it's the clip that holds the bullets, it falls into his hand before he places it on the area in the window that we're standing in. He hands me the smallest pistol and I take it, it's still pretty heavy. "Stand with your feet shoulder length apart, don't flex your leg muscles or you'll fall back. Just make sure that your stance is firm."
I do exactly as he tells me, "Bend your knees." He explains me. "You need strong arms to control the jolt of the gun, or you can hurt yourself and others." He tells me. "Show me how you think you hold the gun." He stands there and stares at me. I lift my arms and hold the gun with both hands. He nods slightly, "You have the idea." He says. "Your dominant had is going to hold the gun right here." I switch my hands and hold the gun with my right hand.
"And your left hand over your right." He places his hands on mine, he pulls my right index finger and places it above the trigger. "You don't move your finger onto the trigger, until you know that you're going to shoot and mean it." He tells me, I nod. He then nods behind me and BamBam hands me safety goggles and earplugs to cancel out the sound of the gun shots.
I set down the gun and take them from his hands. I quickly pull in the goggles and put in one of the earplugs so I can still hear him. "I'm going to put in the clip, don't you dare point this gun at anyone or put your finger on the trigger while you're walking around." He tells me, I'm not that stupid. I nod, "Don't be so surprised when you can still hear the gun shots." He then quickly pushes the clip back into the gun and clocks back the gun, pulling a bullet into the chamber.
"Wait until the lights go off." He orders, I nod. I step forward and everyone is officially in their windows, the lights shut off. The only light that is visible is the one that shines under the shooting targets. I push in my other earplug, a red light then appears and several gunshots fill the room. I grab my gun and raise it, my finger above the trigger. I inhale slowly, dropping my finger to the trigger. I exhale just as slow and pull the trigger.
My body jolts with the power of the gun, it's absolutely exhilarating. I smile and continue to shoot all the bullets in my clip. I aim for head shots, until my gun makes a click sound indicating that I'm out of bullets. I lift my finger off the trigger and set the gun down before grabbing another one that Namjoon got for me. I clock back the gun and continue, this time going for chest shots.
When I've used all the bullets I go for the next gun, I feel a gaze but I continue to shoot. Soon I'm the only one that is shooting. I'm no longer smiling, now I'm gritting my teeth and I'm angry. I then envision the paper target being my father. I shoot until the the gun clicks and there's no more ammo. I didn't even notice that tears were running down my cheeks.

Namjoon's POV
I stare at her, she looks very angry. Everyone looks at me and I slowly walk up to her, setting my hand on the barrel of the gun, pushing it down. She looks at me and she's crying, "That's enough for you." I tell her. I turn and nod to Jackson who walks over to the light switch, the red light goes off and all the lights turn on.
"Let it go." I say, as softly as I could. She instantly let's go of the gun and I set it down. "Holy shit." I hear BamBam. I turn and see him standing in the lane in front of Lalisa's window. Her target is hit in only two spots, incredible. I look at her, "If we ever see your piece of shit father, you kill him." I tell her, she looks at me and nods.
"I think this is one for the books, the best a newbie has ever shot this good on their first try." BamBam says as he walks up to us with the paper target in his hands. "I'll say, no ones shot that good since... Namjoon, honestly." Jackson comments, I slightly nod in agreement.
Lalisa looks around in confusion, "Not even from you Jackson?" She asks. He chuckles and shakes his head, "I was a skilled fighter when I first started working for Sehun, not a shooter." He explains, she looks around at CL and Gummy. "We never even touched guns before this job, we sucked at shooting."
She then looks straight at BamBam, "Haha hey, don't look at me, we both went to school together, you know damn well I didn't know how to handle a gun." The room then goes silent than ever, nobody is even breathing. "You knew Lalisa before the mission?" Jackson asks. I see BamBam clinch his jaw tightly, "Yeah, that's why we hit it off." He says quickly.
What the fuck is Sehun going to say about this shit, huh?
"The reason why Lalisa is so good at shooting, is because she has so much anger inside her, like me.", "I'm nothing like you." I hear her, I quickly turn my head to her and stab my cold glare into her. "I don't want to be anything like you." She adds. It's silent again, I can feel everyones body stiffen up. "You can go ahead and think that, but just remember who saved your ass when you had no where else to go, and you were scared shitless." I step real close to her, trying to intimidate her.
"Where would you be right now without me?" I spit, she just stares at me. "Sit the fuck down." I push her shoulder. "No! Fuck you! I want to keep shooting." She says. I laugh. "You're really fucken bipolar, first you're a little crying shit and now you think you're so tuff?" She laughs, making my blood boil more. "You're more bipolar than me, more than anyone in this room." She says to me.
I clinch my fists, "You still obviously don't know who the fuck I am." I tell her. "Yeah, you're some fucken jerk who saved me." She rolls her eyes. "All the Asian Mafia Leaders fear me!" I yell, "And you should too." I say with a tight jaw. She straightens her back and stares me right in the eyes.
"I'm not." She grits her teeth, I find myself laughing. "What? You get laid, and now you think your woman enough to talk to me like this?" Her eyebrows knit. I give her a smug smile, "You're not." I tell her simply. "I'm tired of you talking to me like I'm worthless when I'm NOT!" She yells, I raise my eyebrows.
"I GOT IT ENOUGH FROM MY FATHER AND NOW I HAVE TO GET IT FROM YOU!?" Her eyes then start to water, "I want to show you that my life has a purpose and I'm going to fight for it." Her body trembles. I feel everyone's eyes on me. "Then fucken show me." I spit at her. I look at Jackson, "Give Lalisa your gun." I tell him. He looks down at the M16 in his hands, "Won't it be too-", "Jackson, give Lalisa your fucken gun." I say firmly.
Jackson reloads the gun and hands it Lalisa, BamBam already put a new paper target up and is now out of the way in behind the windows. "I want you, to only hit the head of the target. Nowhere else." I demand her, she quickly looks at me. "Namjoon don't you think that a little-" I cut off CL. "She wants to show me that she's something, I want to see it for myself." I say firmly. Lalisa just tightens her jaw and pushes in her earplug.
I turn and nod at Jackson who is at the switch, I simply push in my earplug and look forward as all the lights turn off and all that's in view is the paper target. Before my eyes, the head of the paper target is being torn apart by bullets. My eyes slowly fall on Lalisa, she looks angry. Her eyes are glossy and she bites her bottom lip.
I stare at her face, her gun clicks and Jackson turns the lights back on. She drops the gun harshly on the table in front of her and looks at me, "Is that what you wanted!?" She yells before walking away from me. I raise an eyebrow turn and stare at the paper target. "Namjoon, that was so wrong of you to push her like that." CL comes to Lalisa's defense.
"Stop with the defensive shit, look what she did!" I yell. I click the button on the window and Lalisa's paper target pulls forward to us. Everyone stares at the paper, speechless.

Authors POV
"Don't bring your business here, especially if it has to do with that guy." Eito Tanaka, the Japanese Mafia leader, tells Chuan Juntasa. They sit in his office, discussing the current situation about the possibility of Lalisa Manoban being in Japan. "What the hell do you mean, don't bring my business here?" Chuan asks.
"Don't take care of your business here, if you're going to capture someone and do what ever the hell you want to them. Take them back to your country." Eito tells Chuan. "You too huh?" Chuan questions Eito. "What about me?", "You fear some fictional character?" The two are left staring at each other with straight faces. "You really don't get it, do you?" The Thailand Mafia Leader raises an eyebrow.
"Afiq tells you about the Boogeyman and you go off and act like it's a joke." He laughs, "'Cause it fucking isn't, wait until you see him face to face." The Japanese Mafia Leader stands up from his chair, "You're going to wish it was fake." A snarl on his lips as he looked down at Chuan. "Take care of your business, and get the fuck out of my country." Eito spits.
Chuan instantly stands up, in utter shock that his long time colleague would speak to him with such disrespect. Such a different tone from how Afiq Megat had responded to the mention of the man in Black. "Fine!" Chuan exclaims as he walks towards the exit of the office.
He was becoming so frustrated with everyone and their fear of some guy. Chuan turns on the balls of his feet and looks at Eito one last time, "So our partnership means nothing to you!?" Chuan yells. Eito chuckles lightly, "Dead men can't have partnerships with the living." Chuan quickly turns and leaves, "We start our search immediately!" He exclaims at his men.
"We find the girl, we find him. And I want his blood on my hands."

Lalisa's POV
• Hours later •
Location
- Hotel #2; 10:30pm
I lay on my side on the bed, I'm rooming with CL tonight. Namjoon's orders. With an obvious reason why, I really don't have to explain. I'm not complaining, I love CL. But I like being around BamBam. The room is pitch dark and I'm unable to sleep. "You surprised him today, you know." I hear CL's voice. I lightly shift in the bed and I turn to her side of the bed, though I can't see her face.
"I'm not looking to surprise him anymore, I hate when he pushes me. I almost had an emotional breakdown today.", "I kept telling him not to push you so hard, but he wouldn't listen." CL, tells me. I nod, though she can't see me. "I know, thanks for that." She let's out a breath. "But he does see something in you, I know he does. But he's too much of a stubborn ass to admit that you can keep up with him."
I stare up to the ceiling, Namjoon!? Seeing something in me? Whaaa? I don't think that's possible. "And you really showed him today that he was wrong about you." I slightly grin. "It's okay, he can think all he wants about me. I really don't want to try to impress who's exactly like my bastard father." I confess. "But even then.. I feel like when ever I do something.."
My eyebrows knit to the realization, "I look for some sort of acceptance or recognition from Namjoon." A tear runs down my cheek, "Cause I never got something like that from my father, and Namjoon didn't do the one thing that my father did." I set my hand on my chest and shut my eyes, making me cry more. The light switches on and CL is sitting up in bed, "Aaah.. come here." She whispers to me, I crawl onto her lap and she hugs me.
"What didn't he do?" She questions in a soft tone. "He didn't leave me behind to die." And for that, even if Namjoon is a complete ass, I'll always be grateful for him. I feel CL stiffen up, "CL.." I start, "Yeah?" She answers. "Do you love Jackson?" I ask her. Her body seems to relax instantly to the mention of Jackson. "I do." She whispers. I look at her and smile wide, "Woooow, that's cute." I say.
I really didn't want the mood to be really sad. Her cheeks take up a light pink color, "Do you see a future with him?" I ask. She bites her lip. "You know, tomorrow isn't promised and-", "CL.. do you see a future with Jackson?" I ask again. A small smile grows on her lips, "Yes." I instantly feel a whole lot better. "Then the both of you can be my parents." She laughs.
"Go to sleep little sister." She tells me calmly and I get off her and lay on my side of the bed. I feel so much better than I did before I came into the room. When this mission is over, I hope this isn't the last I'll see of everyone.

Jackson's POV
• Next Morning •
"You don't have to come with me." She tells me, "No, I do." I tell her. She smiles and kisses me, "Okay." She whispers. "I want to go too." I hear Lalisa, "No." I say firmly. Her eyebrows knit, "I want to go too, please Jackson. Don't be like Namjoon." She frowns. I bite my lip. Leaving with Lalisa is a huge risk, what if someone sees her? It's daylight.
"Namjoon will be mad, he strictly said only for CL and I to-", "Please Jackson? I really want to go, I don't want to be a bird cooped up in here. I haven't seen stores and other people since Namjoon saved me, I feel like a prisoner." She begs, I get how she feels. "Please Oppa." She smiles.
I roll my eyes, "Fine, but BamBam has to come then, it will be too suspicious if I go with the both of you." I point to the girls. She nods and I knock on the door of my room and BamBam opens it. His eyebrows knit as he looks at me, he nods. "What?" I let out a breath, "You have to come with us." I say. He shrugs and steps out of the room before walking up to us.
"Let's go, make it quick." I say in a whisper, making sure that Namjoon can't hear. But then again, he hears everything. "We have twenty minutes before the flight." I explain. They nod and we all walk to the elevator. I look at Lalisa and BamBam, they remind me a lot of Jandi and I when I was younger. I then feel fingers intertwine with mine and I instantly smile.
I look down at her and she smiles wide at me, the elevator then comes to a complete stop and the metal doors slide open. I look at Lalisa, "Put on your face mask." I tell her, she instantly nods before pulling it on. We all walk out together and I continue to hold CL's hand. We all exit the hotel and stroll down the left direction of the street.
There's a small liquor store and I look at CL, "Will they have what you need here?" She bites her lip, "We can ask." She replies. I nod, "Okay, this has to be quick." Everyone nods and we enter the liquor store. CL and I head straight up to the front counter, I smile at the man running the liquor store. He looks at all of us before BamBam and Lalisa head down another aisle.
"Hello, I wanted to know if you have the..." I look at CL, I don't even know what we're here for. "Morning After Pill." CL says immediately. "Ah, no. Here in Japan that pill is not sold in stores, you must buy it online. Sorry." The man apologizes.
"It's okay." I say to him and I pull CL down an aisle, I wrap my arm around her shoulder. "Baby, will everything be okay, right? I'm sure we'd be able to get the pill in Korea." I tell her. "There's about a fifteen to thirty percent chance that I get pregnant." She looks up at me. It's like my heart stops, no.. it did.
"What?" I ask her. She bites her lip, "The thing is, I've been so busy with this mission that I haven't been paying too much attention on my ovulation times." I stare at her for a while and she seems scared, I let out a breath. "I'm guessing the same is for-", "Yes." I slightly nod, "We should go and tell her.", "Okay." We then walk down to the aisle that Lalisa and BamBam are located.
"They don't have the morning after pill." CL cuts right to the case. Lalisa looks at at us in shock, she quickly takes off her mask. "I-I can't get pregnant, I'm still too young to have children." BamBam stares at the floor for a few seconds, before blinking his attention back to Lalisa. He stares at her without even blinking, maybe even without breathing. "So what if you get pregnant?" He asks, taking us all by surprise.
"What?" CL, Lalisa and I ask at the same time. He lifts his hand and caresses her face, "Would it be so bad if you had a baby with me?" He asks, what is he talking about? He's in his early twenties, he can't throw his life away so quickly. Lalisa seems choked up, "I don't want to raise a child in this world BamBam, especially in my world." She explains.
I slowly move my gaze to CL, Lalisa is right. I wouldn't want to bring a kid into this world if they have to be in the world CL and I are in. A world where everyone dies and life in tomorrow isn't promised. But, honestly.. I wouldn't mind having a kid with CL, even if it's just one. "I could protect you." He whispers, catching my attention. He presses his forehead against hers and he pulls her close, "I'd stop at nothing." They share a kiss and I press my lips against CL's head.
I then feel a chill run up my back, an ugly chill, making the back of my neck tense up and I feel the air go still. I stand up straight and my arm falls off of CL. "Jackson, what's wrong?" She asks me, causing the young couple to part. "I don't-" I feel my phone vibrate and I pull it out quickly, I look down at the message.
-
Sehun- CHUAN JUNTASA IS IN YOUR LOCATION.
Sehun- GET OUT OF THERE
-
I feel my heart quickly sink. Just then a group of men walk into the liquor store, they all followed a man. Chuna Juntasa. "Have you seen this girl?" He asks, my mouth goes dry when he holds up a picture of Lalisa to the mans face. FUCK. My phone then vibrates again and I can already assume who it is, I'm about to get some hard shit right now.
-
Namjoon- WHY DID YOU TAKE LALISA WITH YOU!? WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!? WHAT ARE YOU!? AN IDIOT!? GET HER BACK HERE SO WE CAN LEAVE! NOW!!!
-
I look at Lalisa and BamBam, "Sir, I haven't had many costumers today except for those people over there." The man at the counter points in our direction. As if everything was in slow motion, I grab Lalisa's shirt and push her to the ground into a squat before Chuan can see her. He finally looks at us and Lalisa is out of view. I grit my teeth and grip BamBam's sleeve, "Get her the Fuck out of here." I say as quiet as I could.
Chuan walls down one of the aisle he's close to. I turn to CL, "Go." I tell her, her eyebrows knit, "But-", I cut her off as I kiss her and nod. "Keep her safe and leave immediately, no matter what happens to me. Just know that I love you." Her eyes water. "I love you too.","Go." She knows what she has to do. BamBam leads the way and Lalisa stays squatting, CL walks after Lalisa. I let out a breath and turn to Chuan. "Sir, have you seen-" he doesn't even show me the picture. He gets a good look at me, before he stares at me. He whispers something and his face twitches.
"Get him." He says. He then looks out to the front door where CL is exiting, luckily Lalisa is already out of the door. "STOP HER!" He yells. I run down the aisle before anyone can exit the Liquor store. I look out of the store and they're gone, thank god, now they can get away. He didn't even see Lalisa, also good. From my peripheral vision I see a man run for me.
I pick up my foot quickly and press the push dagger against the mans neck, he instantly stops in his tracks as the blade draws a drip of blood from his skin. "IT'S THE BOOGEYMAN!! KILL HIM!" My eyebrows knit in confusion, he thinks I'm Namjoon? I guess I can see the resemblance, we're all supposed to wear black clothing as our uniform and my hair also happens to be blonde like his. He's sure fucken lucky I'm not Namjoon, they'd all be dead already.
Several men come at me, this little push dagger isn't going to do shit. I pull my free hand into the side of my pocket and pull out my python revolver. I then push the blade into the mans throat before I yank it out forcefully, blood spewing everywhere. I quickly move out of the way before any blood can get on me. He holds his throat as he falls forward, choking sounds fill the liquor store. Men pull out their guns and without even having to look I throw the push dagger, getting someone in the eye.
The man screams in pain and I quickly point my gun at him, pulling the trigger when the muzzle of the gun is aligned with his forehead. I pull the trigger and it goes clean through his skull, and gets the other person behind him. I pull my free hand into my coat and grab my Kukri knife that I have on my belt.
I throw my arm next to me, the man that was going to tackle me is now choking on his own blood. I shoot my revolver several more times, not wasting a single bullet as each of them find a skull of their rightful owner. I shoot and slice people. But it seems that he continues to call more men, fuck. When my python revolver runs out of bullet I pull out a smaller revolver.
That gun doesn't last long, and I'm left with using my Kukri knife. I'd grab my other guns but the men are coming in so fast I can't grab them. A man runs up to me as full speed and I ready myself to stab him. When he's in front of me, I force my knife into him. He just smiles and throws up his arm, my body then shakes viciously and my body hits the floor harshly before I knock out.
