Chin managed to get an inside information from her connection in the underworld that there would be a secret Underground Cage Fight Tournament soon, and her hunch told her that Leon was behind it. She had once seen him looking around for a possible location for what seemed to be an underground fight club.
The Military had been able to confirm the validity of the intel through the reports of the spies planted in the underworld by the Secret Intelligence Agency. The spies had reported about the invitation to the opening night of the said tournament, received by various underworld factions.
Lisa increased her training hours to perfect everything that she had learned so far, so she wouldn't be a burden to the team. She would only get around four to five hours of sleep, but the thought of seeing Jungkook soon was the only thing she needed to sustain her energy and keep on working hard.
In one week time, the special task force team which was assigned to locate and rescue Jungkook would be dispatched out of the country, in order to execute the plan they had formulated ever since they found a lead in their investigation. They were now only polishing the last steps needed for the execution of the plan.
They had been very careful in their preparation to avoid any suspicions from Mr. Big's side, because one wrong move could jeopardize everything, and worse, it could put Jungkook's life in danger, if he was indeed still alive and held hostage by Mr. Big.
After Lisa's morning training, she walked to the canteen to grab a quick lunch and was surprised to see some familiar faces walking towards her.
"What are you doing here, guys?" she said seeing May, Lana and Drey. Her whole face brightened.
"We've missed a lot because we were out of the country. Sorry, we haven't been there for you and for coming to you so late, Lisa…" Lana said as she hugged Lisa. May also followed and hugged her.
Both Lana and May had been out of the country in the past few months so Drey was the only one from the group of friends who had been with Lisa during those hard times.
"What are you saying? Both of you have always been pestering me on the phone," she said, hugging them back. Her eyes welled up as she was so happy to see her best friends again.
"These girls will pester you like old times again, Lisa. I guess, they were not contented to pester you on the phone, so they will join you in your training…" Drey complained as he rubbed his temples.
Lisa creased her forehead and gently pushed the two girls away from her and looked at Drey.
"Huh? What do you mean, Drey?" Lisa asked.
Drey exhaled and said, "I'm actually against it, so please convince them not to do it, because they have been treating me like a villain for discouraging them. They wanted to join the search and rescue operation for General Lim."
"What the heck, Drey? Don't be a killjoy. We will be of great use. Lana is a great attorney and strategist, while I…" said May who suddenly had to pause to think about the kind of role that she could take, should she join the team.
"What, May? How would you help? Don't tell me you will distract the enemies by putting poison in their food?" Drey said sarcastically as he gave May a dirty look.
May arched a brow as she retorted, "Well, why not? I can distract them with food… Give them poison to drink, including you!"
Lisa laughed so hard, tears started to form in her eyes. She had really missed her best friends and watching them banter like old times again had succeeded in giving her otherwise desolate heart a little bit of a tickle.
