Chapter 29 : Placing Trusts

Yoona came out of a small caf? with bagles. She hopped in her car and threw the bagles to the girl on the passenger seat.

"Thanks," Yuri smiled.

"Every morning you got to have bagles?"

Yuri nodded, "and ma juice."

Yoona started her car and drove away.

"How do you know about the facility?" asked Yoona.

"I've been there."

"What do you mean you've been there?"

"They caught me once," Yuri offered Yoona a bagle. Yoona refused.

"The organization caught you?"

"When I was fourteen, then I got away and Eeteuk-oppa found me."

Yoona thought for a while, "I suppose you're not gonna tell me where Eeteuk is, huh?"

Yuri didn't answer the question.

Yoona started the car and they drove away.

"Truthfully I didn't expect you to just nod along when I say I want you to take me to the facility. I was expecting a bit more of a resistance."

"Believe me, I would refuse if I have other choice," Yuri said.

Yuri had no place to go after the battle with Jessica. Eeteuk, Taeyeon and Tiffany surely already heard about what happened from Jessica, thus Yuri

couldn't go back to the house. Embarrased. But then again, staying with Yoona was not entirely safe either, this girl, though Yuri sensed no harm from

her, she was the Princess, and there was no guarantee that Yoona won't report her to the organization.

"And you, do you really believe that I will take you to the facility?" asked Yuri.

"I do."

Yoona was too casual.

"Can you really take me there?" Yoona asked again just to be sure.

"It's easier from the sky, though. I never travel by car," Yuri said.

"Well, I'm not going to fly, so we're driving."

"Still refusing to admit that you are a Gifted, huh?"

"Yes."

Yuri laughed at Yoona's bluntness. In the end, the Princess was just a little girl after all.

"What did they do to you?" Yoona said.

Yuri looked out the car's window. She didn't want to remember the day she got caught. Although fuzzy, she still felt the pain, the fear she experienced

when she was fifteen.

Yuri closed her eyes.

It was an ordinary day when she came home from her school. Her backpack was filled with homework and she was happy for it. She loves doing

homework after school before turning in for supper. The crows were squawking in the electric pole on the side of the road. From the empty road in front

of her, she saw a black van coming toward her, closer and closer. And the next thing she remembered was waking up in a surgery room. People in

white and masks were circling her, saying stuff she didn't understand. And then the pain in her head, it was like her brain suddenly melted away. Her

bloods seemed to be sucked dry.

No matter how hard she screamed those people didn't seem to listen.
