BAB VIII

Previous Episode

Shelly got up. Throwing a punch at Jean which Jean can easily avoid by dropping from the chair 45 degrees back then pulling on Shelly's fist which she immediately grasps. Kicking her knee so hard she fell to her knees in front of Jean, who calmly returned to her position.

"Don't use your emotions to fight, babe. Emotions will overpower you in the presence of your enemies."

Jean stood up and didn't forget to step on Shelly's hand, which was close to her high heels. Shelly groaned in pain and got back up to attack, but this time Kris endured her as well as Pate. Jean continued to walk out of the bar without even turning around.

"Cold," said the bartender who did not even blink his eyes after seeing Jean's figure leave.

"He's not cold, but heartless. Annoying! " shouted Shelly irritably. Pate chooses to chase after the oldest Shelly, while Kris goes out following Jean secretly.

Jean is in her black sports car. She took out a brown envelope and opened it. A family photo made her tremble. There is her in the picture, but the faces of the adults in it have been burned. Jean tried to remember, but suddenly her vision blurred, making her groan and swerve himself.

"Why don't I remember it?" she muttered, staring in annoyance and questioning.

The streets are tranquil. Some of the lighting from the street lights alone illuminates the surroundings. Jean got out of the car and played with her cell phone. She seemed hesitant to press the dial button with the numbers that appeared on the screen.

It turned out that Jean was on the hill. She looked at the sparkling lights. A lovely hill, when viewed from above like this. Like the sparkle of a star that reflects on clear water. Exquisite.

Jean finally just put her cellphone back into the car seat. She leaned back while still paying close attention to the photo. Then tore it into small pieces and threw it into the ravine in front of hers.

Flashback inside Butterfly Monster's office

"Black .. I'm tired."

Jean shifted himself away. Black finished his drink, then pulled his smile high.

"You can rest after this assignment. Where are you going on vacation? Paris? Italy? Just say," he laughed as if giving a Christmas present to his beloved child. Jean turned her head and showed an unusual face - pitiful.

"You know what I mean. Why am I the only one who can't remember my childhood? What did you do to me?"

Black got up and went around the sofa. Now he stood behind Jean and kissed the top of the girl's head, "You are the most special Jean. Ten years ago, you came to be yourself. No need to remember it because it will only hurt you. That 'thing' can only be removed by yourself if you were healthy to face it. "

Flashback end

Her curled eyelashes now began to collect the tears in her eyes. Her thin cheeks started to turn red like her tiny, sexy lips. The hand full of bloodshed covered her face, which began to shed tears and water coming out of her nose. She cried hiccups and said goodbye to the past that she wanted to remember but could never because Black had blackened her entire soul. Locking her from never going back to being the innocent red band girl.

From a distance, Kris watched through his binoculars. It was too risky for Kris to interfere with the little girl who had once held her hand tightly. Kris knows that the girl is suffering because she can't remember her past. However, he was sure that Jean would be able to get through.

Jean came out of Mr Theo's mansion. After finishing off the 50 bodyguards herself, she left Theo unconscious and fled with the diamonds that were inside the teddy bear. Jean's business is not finished; out there, she still has to try to escape from the pursuit of Bill and Sam brothers.

Jean sped toward the mountain and missed several other pursuits. A patrol car moving in the opposite direction to Jean was surprised to see a black sports car so fast moving towards the winding road in the mountain. The patrol car turned around, trying to catch up and stop Jean's car in front of her. But too late. Due to its position across the middle of the road, the patrol car was brutally hit by members of Bill and Sam who felt deterred. The car spun around and even rolled over to make it fall into a ravine of pine trees. The two policemen on board were killed.

The Bill and Sam brothers were not deterred and were still chasing Jean in front of her. Until a shootout was inevitable. One of the successful bullets hit Jean in the shoulder. Makes the girl sway a little.

"Shit! Why did Jean suddenly disobey?" he cursed and continued to fire consecutive shots at Jean.

When things are squashed, Jean stopped at the edge of the cliff. Before she reached for her cell phone, which had been ringing all this time, Jean stuffed a teddy bear filled with diamonds into her black jacket and glanced at the passenger seat beside her. There is a bodyguard of Theo, who has died there. Jean puts on her hat and also inserts the cellphone and necklace that Black gave her.

She looked at the cellphone that kept ringing then wrote a short message to someone there. It says "I'm still alive. Please find me." Then hit the send button. Jean dialled 911 and spoke to the intended person.

"Hello. There was an accident on the hill in town A. The victim is presumed dead."

"Jean! Give up and come back to him!" shouted the one-eyed man sighing in silence while she was still talking to the officer on the other side of the phone. Jean took a deep breath.

"I don't have much time, sorry."

It was then that Jean stepped on the gas of the car and slid into the ravine and fell into the river. Sam and his members were surprised to see the stupid thing that was first done by Jean.

Water fills her sports car. Jean opened her eyes and tried to pull the corpse beside her and put him into a driving position. Jean held her breath, then swam toward the bottom. Her legs suddenly became cramped and couldn't move. Jean began to have difficulty breathing. Water began to enter his oral cavity. She finally gave up and was unconscious. The river water that was so swift took her to the rocks. Jean bumped back and forth along the river until her body pulled over on a large rock that stopped her from getting further.

Someone screamed hysterically when she was washing her feet because she was so tired from the activity of looking for medicine in the river. She saw the human body just meters away with her standing at this time. At first, the half-century woman seemed hesitant to approach, but her curiosity overcame her fear. She grabbed Jean's pale body and laid her on the gravel ground. The older woman gave breath and smiled happily after Jean's heartbeat again. She immediately called someone while noticing several wounds that landed on Jean's slender growth in her tight black jacket and boots.

"Yona! Where are you? Mother saw people drifting in the river. Come quickly!" she said, trying to regain her breath, catching her breath with worry.
