Operation Teardrop

The senator’s estate looks like a normal rich people’s mansion, located on the outskirts of Seoul. It is also a treasure house, Chorong had told her, and it’s guarded like one. Don’t make a move unless you have a foolproof plan. Well, I’ve come up with one, Eunji thought. And we’ll know tomorrow if it’s foolproof or not. The following night was moonless and chilly, the stone walls around the mansion appeared gloomy and forbidding as Eunji emerged from their ops van, wearing black overalls, soft soled shoes and black leather gloves. Just as she started to move into the shadows by the wall, she heard a low fierce growl coming from the other side, and it quickly developed into a frenzied barking. That’s a bark of a Doberman all right. For a while, Eunji visualised what a ferocious adult Doberman with its heavy and powerful body and deadly teeth can do to a bunch of ill-prepared thieves, which apparently, they were not. “Psst! Bbom-ah! You’re up!”  Bomi, who was similarly dressed in black, stepped out of the van holding onto a female Doberman. The dog was in heat, and the tone of barking from the other side immediately changed to an excited whine. The first step in their plan was to devise a way to get past the guard dog Senator Kim kept on his premises. The solution was simple and decidedly trivial for Bomi as she had been a longtime volunteer at pet shelters in her hometown of Suwon where she managed to procure a dog with little trouble. Eunji helped lift the on the top of the van, which was almost the exact height of the wall. “Hana, Deul, Set!” she whispered. 2 pairs of strong arms tossed the over the wall into the grounds of the estate. There was a sharp yelp as the female hit the ground, followed by a series of barks and snuffling noises, then the sound of the dogs scuffling away. Silence. That’s one down. Eunji thought. Turning around, she noticed a worried expression on Bomi’s face. “Wait… Are you worried for me? Or are you worried for your precious doggie?” Eunji smirked.  “How can you say such a thing Eunji-ah!” Bomi took on a playful smile and continued. “Of cos I am worried and praying for your safe return! ~Not!”, earning a slap on her arm from Eunji. Eunji would have continued her mock catfight with Bomi, when a harsh whisper cut through the night, breaking up their play. “Unnie! Cut it out! We haven’t got all night!” Naeun emerged from the van, stiff and stone cold as her rebuke and stared daggers at her unnies.  I hate this! Naeun fumed. How much longer need I do this? She's in a foul mood today, a really bad one that left her fuming at everything in sight. Fuming cos she had to embarrass herself again in public to keep up with the Right-hand Son façade. Fuming cos it's another night operation and she had an early morning schedule tomorrow. Fuming cos the target was only an hour's drive from Seoul and she woke from her nap with a puffy face. Fuming cos her unnies were not taking things seriously. Most importantly, she dreaded this particular mission for the fact she was partnered up with Eunji. Bomi hopped back into the van and cosied up to Hayoung, who was doing some last minute adjustments on her laptop.  Everything's in place and set up. Hayoung concluded and she squirmed out from Bomi's embrace and handed a backpack filled with gadgets to Eunji. "Let's get this over with." Eunji strapped the backpack over her right shoulder and motioned to Naeun to follow her. We need to really have a heart to heart talk soon. Eunji was in deep thought when she pulled herself up to the top of the van and vaulted over the wall effortlessly.  All was quiet. No sign of the dogs anywhere. At least there's a happy couple making merry somewhere around tonight. Eunji allowed herself a brief muse before she closed up again as Naeun landed with a soft thud behind her.  Both instinctively moved away from the landing spot towards the southeast corner of the house, and started to look around for a particular flower pot. Start of phase 2. Getting past the guard dog was easy, but disabling the exterior alarms and radio interference system was a little more of a challenge.  Count 54 steps away from the last window of that corner and along towards the direction to the front of the house. There will be a hidden metal box embedded into the concrete foundation below a pot of lavender. Eunji followed Chorong's instructions to the letter and soon discovered the pot in question. Shifting it away, Naeun kneeled down beside Eunji, fished a pair of pliers out from her pockets and started working on opening the cover and disabling the system. Several minutes later, Eunji her wireless receiver and spoke into the mike of her headset. "Hayoung-ah! You hear me now? Over."  A static pop hissed into her earpiece followed by the maknae's voice. "Loud and clear Unnie. Over. The external alarms are disabled and I have also done a heartbeat scan of the house.” Hayoung glanced at the monitor in front of her, noting only the 2 belonging to her unnies before continuing. "You're clear, no one's in there" Of cos no one's in. Naeun's face flared red for a moment. Why was it I have to make amends for that damn trophy drop by sponsoring Senator Kim and his family a free vacation to HK and tickets to attend the MAMA? Choi daepyo-nim is too much! Chorong had made it clear to her after receiving the decision from their CEO on Naeu
