Mission 2: The Awakened Runaway Part 1

"YaLun isn't here today," the girl with ponytails said.

"Oh, man. They're the sun, cloud, wind and rain." another girl said.

"We're not the weather report." DaDong smirked doing a flower arrangement.

"Irritability causes premature hair loss." YiZhen said from his back. "Be optimistic. You should learn from YiRu."

"Premature hair loss?" DaDong said with raised eyebrows.

"Oh, YiZhen!" the girls laughed at what she said.

"But I wonder where YaLun is, at a busy time like this..." YiRu said changing film on his camera.

"He's usually so serious and all of a sudden, he disappears." ChunNie licking the icing off his fingers.

"I guess he's so attractive because he is mysterious." YiRu commented.

"What's attractive about that?" DaDong protested on what YiRu said. "He's just slacking."

The girls on the side giggles the way DaDong described YaLun.

"Oh! DaDong's scary!" the cute girl with the pigtails said.

"They sure do yell a lot here." her friend commented.

"You're right." the cute girl agreed.

"But it's okay, since it's these guys."

"Uh- huh."

"Hey I checked out all their bios." the cute girl informed her friend.

"No way!" her friend was surprised.

"First, we have ChunNie. Born October 10th, blood type B. Rumor has it besides cooking skills, he's a great soccer player."

"Really?"

"Next, we have DaDong. Born August 24th, blood type AB. A total playboy, don't you think?"

"He always seems sleepy."

"And YiRu. Born November 10th, blood type O. He keeps them all in line. That's why he's the organizer of their business. At first I thought he was younger than me."

"Me too. That baby face...hihihi!" both giggled.

"Excuse me, could you take an appointment for my photoshoot?" YiZhen said to YiRu.

"I'm sorry I can't." YiRu answered.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because I'm fully booked until the next couple of days. If you want, come back next week." YiRu smiled at her.

"Fine. Next week it is." YiZhen smiled back. "I will be back."

"Thank you very much." YiRu waved at YiZhen until she got out of the shop.

ChunNie and DaDong look at each other.

YaLun was staring at the girl in the bed of Taipei General Hospital with flowers in his hand. He specially arranged it for her and took all the flowers in DaDong's garden. He's been there since morning. He stayed there for a few hours then decided to leave. As he walk through the hallway, a ball rolled over to his feet. YaLun picked it up then he saw a little girl walking towards him. She's holding to the rail of the wall. YaLun was surprised. The little girl was blind. She's trying to find where the ball go. He handed it to her.

"Brother Jun is that you?" the little girl asked.

"No..." YaLun answered and walked away.

He slowly go down the stairs and then the ball fell down beside him. YaLun saw the little girl unconscious. He tooked the little girl to her room.

"Thank you very much. She just had a mild fainting spell, she will be okay." the nurse said. "Maya's parents died and her only family is her brother. He's a great big brother. He used to come by everyday... but we haven't heard from him lately." the nurse continued.

"Jun Ge Ge," Maya talked on her sleep.

"Maya lost her appetite since he stopped coming." the nurse said.

YaLun nodded and say goodbye to the nurse. He walked out of the hospital and looked back at the girl's room. YaLun's mind was full of thoughts and didn't realized he's crossing the street when suddenly, a car speeded right in front of him. He's so shocked. He's almost got hit! The thought of it made him think again of the past. The accident that made the girl lying in the bed and hadn't wake up until now. The man inside the car still clings in his head. He never forget that face. And never will be.

"All of these men have one thing in common. They're all blacklisted by lending companies." the mysterious voice said.

Everyone gathered around the basement including Ella. They're getting information for their new mission.

"Your target is a man who's making millions in underground gambling. Hu Xiao Ling."

He showed the pictures in the monitor screen. "Hu buys these young men who have defaulted on their loans... and uses them in deadly games of Human Chess. Slayers of Night... deny these dark beasts their tomorrows." he signed out.

"Bastards like these are unforgivable!" ChunNie said firmly.

"Yeah. What are they thinking?" YiRu agreed to ChunNie.

Ella opened the lights and tapped ChunNie's shoulder. "Are you all in?"

"No. I'll pass." DaDong stood up.

"Why? These guys are totally evil." YiRu asked DaDong.

"I'm not interested in cases that don't involve women over 18." DaDong said putting his arms around Ella's shoulder. She shrugged it off.

"You have no sense of justice." Ella smirked.

"I'm not a Slayer because of my sense of justice." DaDong said matter of fact.

"Well... Then it's the three of you. YaLun, YiRu, and ChunNie. Any questions?" Ella asked them.

"That picture of Hu... I can't see what he looks like." YiRu asked her.

"About that, Hu hasn't been seen for the last five years." Ella answered.

"You don't know what he looks like? Then how are we supposed to find him?" ChunNie asked his wife.

"He's always at the underground casino watching Human Chess. As the creator of this game, he always makes contact with the winner." Ella continued.

"Is that all we know?" YiRu asked again.

"There's an unverified tip. When Hu gets excited, the birthmark on his face pops out. A red ring-like one." Ella looked at each one of them.

"A birthmark..." YaLun said to himself.
