1340 Words
The day has changed. The atmosphere at Joe's house is still shrouded in grief. However, Lee must immediately return to headquarters to check the information provided by Steve.
"I have to go back to camp, and I'm sorry for what happened," Lee said to Lina.
"Take care of yourself. I can't see the people I care about die anymore" Lina kissed Lee.
Lee was silent and responded to Lina's kiss while hugging her. After that, he said goodbye and immediately returned to headquarters.
Arriving at the headquarters, Lee and Richard checked the file that Steve had given him on his computer. At the same time, the other members went to rest because all day was guarding Joe's residence.
There is a folder that says "Assets" when they open it. They are surprised because the file contains information about assets who already died and the relationships with their closest people.
"What does this mean? Why did Steve give us this?" Richard muttered
"I don't know, but try to find assets named Ricky there? I wonder what happened? And what is the connection with these assets that died."
Richard immediately looked at the files one by one and found the "Ricky" file. They look at the contents of the file one by one, and the truth about Ricky's assets is finally revealed.
That Ricky, the asset of the government, has died. But he has a twin brother. His brother disguised himself as Ricky to take advantage of his twin's death benefits.
This information shocked them that they didn't realize this from the start.
"How did Steve get all this?" Richard muttered.
In the file, they also found the address of Ricky, but it has not been confirmed whether he is still there or not. They need someone to confirm the address.
"I'll go check it out by myself," Lee said
"Are you sure? let me accompany you, or at least go with Mark," Richard suggested
"No, I have to go alone and make sure what happened. There are many things I want to ask ."
Got the meaning of Lee's words, Richard agreed.
"Let only the two of us know, Richard. Don't let the others know."
"Okay, but still, you have to be careful, Lee. And if anything happens, I and the unit will follow soon," Richard warned Lee.
"Understood"
They immediately analyze the area where Ricky lived. They didn't tell anyone about this either.
"We've finished our analysis. Are you sure you're going alone?" Richard asked
"Calm down. I know what I have to do. Just trust me," replied Lee with a smile.
"Okay. I trust you, Capt," Richard replied.
After that, Lee returned to his room to prepare for tomorrow's departure.
He didn't want to linger because Ricky could have known what would happen. And go to another area.
*The next day*
"I'll go first. I'll leave the unit to you. And don't tell units about this" Lee said goodbye to Richard.
"Okay, make sure this mission goes smoothly, capt. And if anything happens to you, sorry, I and the unit will follow soon," Richard firmly.
"I'll be fine."
Lee finally went to Ricky's location, the same city as Joe's death.
On the way, Lee remembers some moments about being with his Junior.
"I will avenge you, Joe," Lee muttered to himself.
In the afternoon, Lee arrived in Daegu. He rented a hotel in the area for a few nights. He immediately notified Richard and informed him that he had arrived at the location.
"Are you going to rest first?" Asked Richard
"No, I'll be going to the location shortly after I'm done with the goods," Lee explained.
"Make sure communication remains between us."
Lee had finished packing. He immediately went to the location where Ricky was. Ricky's place was not far from where Lee was staying. While walking towards to location, he met a familiar person.
Sure enough, that person was Ricky, who walked in the opposite direction from Lee. Realizing this, Lee reflexively called out Ricky's name.
"Ricky," said Lee spontaneously.
Ricky, who was surprised, looked behind him and realized that the only people who knew the name of Ricky's assets were the Government and Joe's friends.
Ricky, without thinking, immediately ran without paying attention to Lee. Lee did not stay. He quickly ran after Ricky.
The chase between them ensued. Ricky, who knew the area better, almost managed to escape. Luckily Lee took another route, so he managed to catch Ricky in a small alley.
Lee lunged at Ricky and threw a punch at him. He also asked Ricky about what happened.
"What have you done? How dare you kill my friend and betray us. Tell me, where are they now!? Ask Lee
"I don't care, and I don't know what you are talking about!"
"I'm not playing games this time. Don't lie to me, you bastard!" Lee firmly
"You won't get anything from me," Ricky replied while spitting on Lee
"Fine. I'll show you what the hell is!"
Lee immediately pulled Ricky and tied his hands. He also gagged Ricky's mouth.
Hearing the commotion, Richard asked Lee.
"What happened, Lee? Why so noisy?!" Richard asked
"I got that "boy," But it looks like he needs to be taught a little lesson," said Lee as he took out his knife.
"Remember Lee. We need him. We need information from him. Don't kill him." Richard reminded
"I'll remember," Lee answered shortly.
He immediately heated the knife he had with the tool he brought. He stabbed the heated knife into Ricky's right thigh without further ado.
Ricky screamed in pain and struggled, but Lee didn't care about that.
"I won't stop until you give me what I want" Lee reheated the knife and removed Ricky's mouthpiece.
"You're not getting anything, bastard!" Ricky said
Hearing this, Lee stuck his knife to Ricky's back. Ricky's back was so burnt and bloody.
Lee continued to torture Ricky to get the information he needed immediately.
In the end, Ricky gave up in pain and told Lee.
"Okay, okay, I give up. Everything you need is in my room, in the safe with the password 56239" Ricky gave up because he couldn't stand the torture that Lee gave.
"How can I trust you?" Lee pointed a gun at Ricky's head
"Okay, okay, calm, take my room key in my shirt pocket. I won't lie. Please let me live."
Lee took Ricky's room key in his shirt pocket. After getting the key, Lee removed the rope from Ricky's hand.
Ricky, who was barely walking, thanked Lee. He was walking with a limp.
"See you in hell!"
Lee shoots a silencer pistol at Ricky. The shot hits Ricky's head, killing him instantly.
"Isn't that the sound of gunshots! What have you done, Lee?!" Richard shouted into their communication device
"I can't let him live. It's his punishment."
Richard could only be silent and agree to that. Lee just left Ricky's body and immediately went to where he lived.
After arriving at the place Ricky stayed, he opened Ricky's room. The rooms are so messy and dirty. Not caring about it, he immediately opened the cupboard and entered the safe code.
There are several records, transaction history, and a certain amount of money. Lee found that the note will have a transaction tomorrow.
Lee informed Richard about this.
"Tomorrow, there will be a transaction at the bar around here. Their mobs will gather there. I will go there and finish them off," said Lee
"What do you mean? I know you are great and reliable in everything. But this is too much, Lee."
"Just trust in me, and one more thing, starting today, I'm disbanding our first unit."
"What? Wait, you can't be like this, Lee! I also hate the government and am angry with what happened. But this isn't the way, Lee!!" Richard shouted
"Then you have to agree with my decision."
Lee turned off communication with Richard. He decided to walk alone this time. He didn't want to harm the people closest to him anymore.
