"Hi, two tickets from Seoul to Incheon." I said to the train conductor.

"Ok, the ride will be 4,5000.00 won." He said. ($3.36)

I pulled out my wallet and handed the money onto to transfer it to two train tickets.

Then he hole punched two small tickets.

"Welcome aboard." He said and me and Saebyuk climbed in the train.

People were staring at us.

"Don't worry, I get a lot of stares everyday." I reassured her.

"Uh yeah." She said and started to look at her phone.

I looked at the window in silence and pondered 'The Psycho's' exact location and how many people died just because of them.

I closed my eyes and tried to nap for the long travel up ahead.

"Mark." I heard Saebyuk calling my name.

"Hm." I said, now kinda half conscious.

"I've been calling your name for almost ten minutes now." She said.

Oh no.

"Shit. Ok, let me find a bathroom in Incheon." I said and walked to a restroom nearby.

After I was done, I was washing my hands but noticed a guy, laying on the tiled floor, staring at nothing.

"Hey, you good man?" I asked and got a little closer to the dude.

The dude grinned wickedly.

"Ah, I see my next victim." He said and stud up from the floor and walked towards me at a fast pace.

Shit!

I pulled up my pistol and aimed at the guy's chest.

Although we were trained to aim at shoulders, I was scared.

For my life.

He stopped abruptly but smirked at my reaction.

"You're scared." He said.

"Don't move." I said, a death glare in my eyes.

He stepped closer to Saebyuk.

"I said don't move!" I shouted and got ready to fire my pistol.

"You're too scared to fire the gun in your-."

I shot him on his forehead and a spray of blood came down on the floor.

"Shit." I said and I bet everyone could hear the bullet firing.

"What was that noise I heard?" Saebyuk asked and frowned.

"Nothing. Let's go." I said and grabbed her hand.

"It seemed really loud to me." She said.

"It was nothing." I lied and started to look left and right for a exit in the train station.

I looked left.

Ah ha, I found a sign called, 'Exit Train, Gate 3.'

"C'mon." I said and grabbed Saebyuk's hand.

We started to walk and I held up my phone to keep track of the gang.

In ten minutes, we hit the spot where my little tracker device wanted to go.

I looked up and opened my mouth.

There was a burning fire blazing in the daylight and a sign was posted near the left of the fire.

"Be fearful of us. I'll grab you in a instance."

I smuggled the fire with my coat sleeve and sighed angrily.

"C'mon, I know now where they went." I said.

"Where did they go?" Saebyuk asked.

"You see the fire up ahead? That's where we're going." I said and started to look for a door where I could lift myself higher.

I looked left.

"Ah, a latter." I said and begun to walk to the latter.

I looked at the fifth step of the latter ahead of time.

There was a broken step.

"Shit." I said as I had to jump up the fifth step.

I thought for a second.

I jumped over on the broken step and offered Saebyuk's hand.

"Here! Take my hand. I don't know how steady this board is." I said and offered my hand to her.

"Mark, this bridge is literally breaking underneath our shoes now." She said as I felt the bridge breaking underneath my shoes too.

"Damnit, then we have to continue walking on the bridge." I said and begun to hold her right hand.

Six minutes in our terrifying walk, I saw smog up ahead.

"C'mon, we're almost there." I said and continued to walk up the staircase.

Thirty seconds later in the collapsing staircase, Saebyuk fell underneath a broken step.

"Ah! Mark, can I hold your hand?" She asked.

"Here!" I shouted and reached my left hand to catch her.

I pulled her up on the ground and begun to run with her.

I saw the fire straight ahead now.

Well, we're not exactly firefighters but we do serve the country.

We reached the top of the yellow and red flames and I stopped abruptly.

There were too many guys feeding into the fire.

"I have to call backup." I said in Saebyuk's ear.

She nodded as I called Jackson.

"Hello?"

"We're near Incheon and there's too many 'Psycho members' to take down. We need backup."

"Got it."

In ten minutes, I saw the police car but no sound.

Then Jackson and Jinyoung got out of the cop car and said, "Where are they?"

"Shh, I don't want to make a lot of noise. They might hear us. There right on the right." I said and peaked in the corner.

They were still there.

Drinking and talking.

"Ok, let's go." Jackson said and started to walk. I didn't even hear his boots as he stepped a little closer in the slightly ajar door.

Then I heard a shot firing in the slightly half opened door.
