Full House (1/1)

A doorbell cut off their conversation. She got up and went into the hallway and down the stairs and Luhan followed. Ellie opened the door to find eight shivering pop stars. She let them in and Luhan brought them to the living room to try to explain. Each bowed as they passed her and she did the same until there was only one member left. Kris.    “Hi.”    “Hi.” He looked around the house. “Nice place.”    “Thank you. Do you want to come in or would you rather freeze out there?” He smiled and walked in as she shut the door and followed him into the living room where Luhan and the boys were sprawled out on the couch and floor. Sehun and Baekhyun stood and hugged her as she walked in.    “It’s good to see you again Ellie,” Baekhyun started, “but why are we here? Luhan says we’re in danger?” She looked at Luhan and then to the others. She didn’t know most of them personally and yet she felt obligated to protect them.     “There’s a group of people,” her words were slow as she tried to work through what she was telling them, “that try to kidnap celebrities and hold them for ransom. They strike only once a year so they have not been detained yet but there are people trying to stop them. This group picked EXO as their target so you will have to stay here for a few days, maybe a week, to make sure you’ll be safe from them.”    “We’re staying here?” It was Chanyeol who asked.    “Yes, and I already called your manager and he has agreed that staying here will benefit your safety.”    “Can we get our stuff back at the dorms?” This time it was Tao.    “I have a umm, a friend that has already gotten your stuff and put it in your rooms.”    “Our rooms?” Suho.    “I have guest rooms. Three have two beds each and I have a second master bedroom with two king size beds. Two of you will have to sleep in the Lounge, though, until I have the study made into a guest room as well.  Chen is there already, and Lay and Xiumin are asleep in a guest room upstairs. D.O. I hope you don’t mind but I brought your stuff up to the Lounge as well.”    “Not at all. I’m actually exhausted right now anyway.”    “Of course. Luhan,” she turned towards him, “can you show D.O. to the Lounge  please?” He nodded so she continued. “I put Baekhyun and Chanyeol in the guest room in the hall,” she stood up and led them to it and wished them a peaceful night, “Everyone else is upstairs if you’d like to follow me,” She led them up and showed each of them their rooms. Suho and Kai were in a guest room next to Lay and Xiumin. Across the hall were the two master bedrooms. One was Ellie’s and the second was for Tao, Kris, Sehun, and Luhan.    “Goodnight Ellie,” Luhan said as he started closing the door.    “Goodnight Luhannie, dream of something happy.”    “Always.”    Ellie made her way back to her room and closed the door. She wanted more than anything to sleep but she couldn’t make herself. So she started to clean her room and get her clothes out for tomorrow as she tried to stay calm. She remembered the doctor from Huh after her first mission, ‘In your head just run through everything you know is real.. Start with the simple things, your name and age, and try to  work your way up to understanding the bigger things.’ He thought he was real clever after saying that but I know it’s from The Hunger Games. My name is  Elizabeth Jane McGinty. People call me Ellie. I am 20 years old. I live in Seoul, South Korea. I lived with my uncle. I skipped two grades. I was trained by Huh. The members of EXO are currently living in my house. I beat up and tortured five Hideula agents. Hideula is after EXO. I have to protect them. I may get hurt protecting the. One of them may get hurt. I don’t want them to get hurt. She stopped and collapsed onto her bed. “Why does all the bad stuff happen to me?”
