Kurenai and Yeosang finally arrive at the control room followed by Yunho. They were the last people to arrive at the room, Kurenai immediately stepping forward to address the situation.

"What the hell is going on?" She demands with an irritated look that hides her worry so well. Not even one of the Seven members that were crowding around Hongjoong to see the screens of the monitors give her a reply. They are then parted by an impatient Kurenai, who can feel her skin crawl at the possibilities of what's on that screen. It's only when she reaches the screen that one of the members speaks up.

"Wait a minute, isn't that the girl you guys were talking to at the club?" Jongho turns to Kurenai and so does everyone else, pinning her where she stands with their inquisitive gazes.

Just as Jongho had said, there the pink-haired woman was, standing in the middle of the elevator that was supposed to be hidden behind a library shelf. The woman has a hand on her hip, her lips pursed and all her weight shifted to one leg.

"Yup," Kurenai sighs distastefully, looking at the blacklisted woman from the monitor. "That's stupid-freaking-Juniper, alright."

"Who's that with her?" Yunho asks, scratching the back of his head. It's then that Kurenai notices the mop of purple hair next to the Pink-haired woman.

"I dunno, but he's hot," Wooyoung states shamelessly, scooting closer to get a better look. Yeosang smacks him upside the head.

"Of course, you don't know idiot, we weren't asking you."

"Forget who asked who, how did this chick get past Hongjoong's firewall? He literally spent hours designing it so no one from MALUS could hack it." Seonghwa pitches into the discussion.

"She is... an old contact of mine. I initially went to visit her because she has information on just about every sensitive operation MALUS has ever created thanks to her hacking skills which explains this." Kurenai replies, crossing her hands over her chest. "She was supposed to come here to give me info on Candy since we got attacked at The Succubus but I never knew she'd show up this way. Just when you thought she couldn't get any—."

"Ahem, pardon me, but, is anyone there?" Juniper's voice suddenly comes through the monitor, surprising them all.

"How the hell—?" Hongjoong curses, rapidly clicking on his keyboard to override whatever she's doing. "How did she activate the microphone? It's not even wireless!"

"That's Juniper."

"Hello? Bambina, I know you're there. Answer me." Juniper demands suddenly, her lips pouting as she looks into the elevator's Camera. "Now."

"Give me the mic." Kurenai commands and Hongjoong complies. "Juniper? Do you hear me?"

"Bambina!" Juniper exclaims. "Aw, how lovely it is to hear your voice!" Kurenai rolls her eyes, taking a deep breath.

"Juniper, what in the world do you think you're doing just barging in like this?"

"Were we not supposed to meet here? To discuss our business?"

"Yes, but—!" The tattooed woman takes a moment to steel her nerves. "You were not supposed to hack into the security system to sneak in."
