Sooyoung pulled shut the curtains. "Why," she demanded, turning on Ji Hyo, "do you always drag me into such situations like this?" 

Ji Hyo cringed away, then sneezed, the rock dust still clinging to her clothes. "Sorry?"

Sooyoung sighed. "Oh, go on. Take a bath, you stink." She tossed Ji Hyo a towel. "Be quick, an assassin might be hiding in the toilet."

Ji Hyo frowned. "Not funny." She slung the towel over her shoulder and walked upstairs. Joong Ki watched Sooyoung wash he ehands at the sink. "What do we do now, noona?"

Sooyoung shrugged. "I have no idea ..."

"Do you think Minho hyung will come back?"

"Honestly?" She frowned. "I'm not sure."

"He's the heir of the Black Dagger."

"He was."

"Well .. he still ran away, didn't he?" Joong Ki tapped his chin. "He knows us now, he could sell us out to the Dagger -"

Sooyoung shook her head. "No, he wouldn't -"

"- but I don't think he will," finished Joong Ki, staring at her piercingly. "The Eagles know who to trust." 

"Okay, okay ..." Sooyoung held up her hands. "And the others? Yuri, and Lu...Luhan?"

"Hyung and noona are staying overnight at the hospital, they're going to pretend they've got amnesia to avoid questions about where they've gotten such drugs and injuries. And then me and Ji Hyo noona will come to them tomorrow and say that after Luhan hyung found out his girlfriend was cheating on him, he became drunk but someone spiked his drink with some weird drug."

"You've got it well thought out, huh ..." Sooyoung wandered into the kitchen and began making dinner. Joong Ki followed. "We have a code for every cover story for almost every situation we might get into. Eagle might have been destroyed when I was like, two, but Ji Hyo noona did train me everything." 

"And I can't even stick to my homework timetable for more than a day." 

 Ji Hyo came down a while later, hair still wet, to Joong Ki who was was chatting rapidly to Sooyoung whilst stuffing his face with food at the table. She smiled.

"Rest. Tomorrow we'll go and get Yuri and Luhan, and sort out this mess."

"And Minho hyung?"

Ji Hyo swallowed. "We'll figure it what to do with him once Yuri and Luhan come back." 

*Somewhere else*

"Yah!"
