Persuasion (part 1) (1/2)

The next morning...

"Natasha, Charu, I need you to get out of here immediately." Jay commanded. "You can go join these guy's wives at Mumbai."

"BWOH?!" Natasha shouted. "What?! Why?!"

"Noona, you're faces are known here, they must have been captured at the hotel yesterday. We don't want them to capture you too."

"But you guys-"

"Noona, if you're worried about us, we'll be fine." Yongnam reassured her. "No worries, noona, we'll be okay."

"Arasso..." Natasha nodded. "I'll just get my stuff."

"Okay, Charu, this is Joonkyung. He'll escort you guise there." Jay pointed at a newcomer.

"Take care, my pabo dongsaengs." Natasha pulled Yongguk and Yongnam into a hug. "Please don't get yourselves killed..."

"Of course not..."

Soon, Natasha and Charu left with Joonkyung. Now only Yongguk, Yongnam, Joon, Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, Jay, Miranda, Jongup and Zelo were left at the apartment.

"Alright guise." Jay looked at them. "We're leaving in groups of three, with the exception of one group. Yongguk, Daehyun, Miranda and me leave first. After fifteen minutes, Himchan, Joon and Zelo go next. And after half an hour, Jongup, Youngjae and Yongnam."

"Got it." Joon nodded.

"Here are some location prototypes. I've mapped out the routes you should use. We'll all end up in the same place, and these are the safest routes we could come up with."

"We?" Yongguk arched his eyebrows.

"Me and a friend of mine who worked for the CIA. We're going to see him now. By the way, please don't lose these."

"Why are we going to see this guy?"

"He's an ex-CIA agent and he's Indian." Jay looked at them. "He's got a high status around here."

"But the gangster guy-"

"The location is highly confidential. He barely comes out into the open, his whereabouts are unknown to everyone but a few."

"That is, the CIA and the FBI." Yongnam concluded.

"Along with the ICPO, or Interpol." Jay added. "Usually, he's out in the open, but ever since word got out that Kumar Rajeev is back in town, he's gone back into hiding so that people don't give him away or the gangster doesn't try to bribe him."

"I see..." Yongguk nodded. "But why are we going to him?"

"Look. We can't save those girls alone. There are nine of us, and many of his henchmen. We can't do it on our own."

"Police." Himchan concluded.

"Very good. But in a place where a gangster hold all of the cards, what makes you think that they'll listen to us?"

"So we're going to need someone with influence, right?" Daehyun asked.

"Which is where the CIA agent comes in." Miranda said quietly.

"Exactly." Jay nodded.

"Wait." Jongup held his hands out. "Before we move, let me point out that Miranda can't just waltz through the streets of Goa without being recognised."

"Point." Yongnam groaned.

"Just give her noona's clothes." Yongguk walked inside Natasha's room, and came back outside holding dark jeans and a t-shirt. "Here."

"Thanks, uhm, can I have a jacket as well?"

"Here." Joon gave his hoodie to her. She nodded in thanks and went to change.

"First group, let's go. Guys, make sure that you aren't being followed when you get out." Jay told them as Miranda walked back into the circle. They all nodded. Jay walked out followed by Daehyun, Yongguk and Miranda.
