×Lucas POV×

"Azumi..." I said, groggily, as I started to regain consciousness
"Sir!!! Oh my God, sir!! Are you okay??" the guard shouted, returning from the bathroom "call 119!!! This man has been shot!" he requested, and the store clerk did as he asked in a panic, as the other two guards ran into the store
"What happened!? Where is miss Azumi?!?!" one of the guards questioned
"He took her.."
"Who took her!?"
"The man.. there was a man and he took her" I explained, as I tried to sit up "he said the boss requested it.."
"Oh no.. that means Mr. Choi has her.."
"Mr. Choi? You mean the man who was at the funeral? The one who is after her??" I panicked
"Yes... this isn't good..."
"No. No this isn't happening.. no-" I panicked further, standing up shakily, gripping my bleeding shoulder, as I walked toward the door where Azumi was dragged out of
"Sir! You shouldn't be walking around!" one of the guards shouted, but I ignored him and kept walking. As I exited the store through he back door, I looked around the empty lot and spotted an item on the ground and hurried to pick it up
"No... no no no... oh god no!!" I shouted. The guards followed quickly behind me and quickly noticed what I had picked up.
"How are we gonna find her without her phone.."
"Sir.."
"What?!?" I shouted, angry and frustrated
"O-over there" the guard stuttered, pointing to the ground a few feet away. There, in the middle of the lot, was a blood trail
"No... AZUMI!!!! AZUM- AZ-..." I screamed, before I fell to my knees and lost consciousness from the blood loss.

×Lucas POV×

I woke up in a semi dim room, with only one light on next to my bedside, and shadowed figures scattered around the room.
"Guys?" I voiced, with a scratchy throat, and they all whipped around to look at me.
"Lucas!!! Ohmygod, what happened?!? Where is Azumi????" everyone panicked, and I had no answer. I didn't know where she was, if she was okay, or if she was even alive
"I don't kn-"
"Lucas!! Oh my gosh, are you okay??"
"Yuqi? What are you doing here??"
"Oh, uh.. the guys said you were hurt so I came too. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, no. Its perfectly fine. Sorry I'm just really out of it"
"It's oka-"
"Lucas, Where. Is. Azumi" Taeyong pressed again
"I-I don't know.. a man took her" I explained
"A man??" Jaehyun questioned
"Yes, a man.. all he said was 'the boss requested it'"
"Oh no.. that means-"
"Yes, that means that Mr. Choi has her.. the guards told me.. Hyung, where is your dad??" I asked, looking to Yuta
"He's on his way to ask you some questions. He should be here any minute"
"Yuta, he's in no position to be questioned. Just tell him what Lucas just told us, okay? He needs rest" Yuqi reasoned, and Yuta nodded his head
"Get some rest, we'll leave you be. A couple of us need to stay with him for the night" Taeyong instructed
"I'll stay! Don't worry, I'll take good care of him" Yuqi volunteered, and I had no objections, since she was an old friend.
"Don't you think a couple of us should sta-"
"No, it's okay. I'll be fine" I cut Taeil off, and he nodded in understanding. Soon, everyone said their good night's and left to talk to Yuta's dad, then go search for clues to where they could've taken Azumi.
