Chapter 0.8 PT 2

lets play a game


   

Seongwoo was looking at the pages that they had decoded as many of the pages turned out to be recipes in his mind as he looked at Jihyo as she was not have much luck with her set of pages to decode either. He looked at the pages as he turned to Jihyo all the way. "I think most of these pages are just recipes for potions or herbal stuff." He said 

"Yeah." Jihyo agreed as she sighed. "I guess that we just keep going." She said as she turned back to her desk as she started to work on her stack of pages. 

Seongwoo sighed as he got up just walking ot the break room just carrying his coffee mug with him as he poured himself a cup of coffee as he looked at the others talking just talking about the academy leader was leaving files on the victim. Seongwoo looked at the others from his spot as he shook his head. He watched as Kymin entered the room as she looked at him. "We have only been finding recipes from the pages." He said 

"Okay, we got a green light to search beyond the secret door so just keep working. Soojin and I will be there if you need us." Kymin said as he nodded 

"Alright." Seongwoo answered as he watched her get a to go cup of coffee as she exited just grabbing her kit from Soojin as they walked off together. He watched the lab work as he finished his coffee just setting his mug down the rack labeled with his name as he walked back to the work area. "Got anything?" He asked as Jihyo looked up at him. 

"Maybe." She answered as she turned back to her laptop. "I'll let you know. I am only a few words in." She added 

Seongwoo got back on his laptop as he had an alert from the building company. He tapped his just swiping it to the larger touch screen table top as he opened it up as he had the secuirty flag the rooms in question as there was someone other than a police that had entered the room that Soojin and Kymin were going to enter and search today. Seongwoo pulled up on the touch screen face time as he typed in Hyunwoo's number and Kymin. 

"What do you want?" Hyunwoo asked 

"Yep?" Kymin waved 

Seongwoo shook his head. "A bit of professionalism would be nice - hyung." He said as he looked at them. "There was a flag of secuirty in that room you guys are going today to search. Someone other than authorties entered the room last night. The security company just sent me the footage. I emailed it to you all so you can watch but I will try to find out who this is for you all." Seongwoo looked at them as Hyunwoo hung up.

"Okay, thanks for telling us!" Kymin said as she waved bye before hanging up herself. 

Seongwoo swiped it back over to his computer as he looked over his shoulder at Jihyo. "I need to work on this footage." He told her 

"Yeah, I heard. By the way, Ong. What is your problem with Hyunwoo or more like his with you?" Jihyo asked 

"I don't know." Seongwoo answered "He just doens't like me." He said as he watched Jihyo turn back to her computer as he looked out to see Jookyu setting some files on Soojin's desk. 

Jookyu caught his eye as she pointed to Soojin's desk. She wached him write with a white chalk marker out in the field. She nodded as she walked back to the elevator just disappearing inside. 

He turned back to his computer as he started on the footage that he was sent. When he found useable frames, he sent the pictures through a software that would recgonize faces and sending it through dmv records and other data bases just waiting for the results. He then turned back to his stack of papers to start decoding them.

Kymin pressed the end button on her phone to the end the face time call with Seongwoo as she looked at Soojin. "Hyunwoo was closer to the building than us so I am sure that they will have the room secure before we get there." She said as she watched Soojin nodded. 

"Yeah, he should be able to find out who went in there if we do not get a email from Seongwoo soon." Soojin said as she drove. She pulled up to the building as she could see a few cop cars and Hyunwoo's SUV parked. She parked her car as she got out with Kymin. The pair made their way up to the building just entering and going up to the apartment rooms as she could see Hyunwoo handing a guy to some officers. "Everything taken care of?" Soojin asked 

"Yeah, Seongwoo sent us his information before we got in." Hyunwoo said as he walked them in. "The person doesn't live here just has a key. He called it their coven house." He added 

"So are we dealing with a witch hunter?" Kymin asked as she put on her latex gloves. 

"Our a rival coven." Soojin said as she looked at the other. "You take the livingroom and kitchen then I will take the bedrooms?" Soojin asked as she watched Kymin nodded. She started for the bed rooms as she heard Hyunwoo that he would watch the halls.

"Or just a serial killer." Hyunwoo said as he looked at them.

"That is true." Soojin said as she headed to the bedrooms. She walked into the room just turning on the light as she started taking pictures of the room before she started to search around the room. She sighed as the room was just a bed, a few clothing items, and some books. She sighed as she exited the room as she figured this apartment was just used as a coven house that people would in and out of not actually living in. She opened the next door as she flipped on the lights as there were pots placed around as they were growing herbs or something. She sighed as she stared to take pictures to document what they had found. She pulled out her phone as she texted Kihyun that he needed to come with  Haerin as is the closest that they have to trace right now. She pressed send as she started looking the room for different things just taking pictures of them. 

Kymin was searching the living room as she was taking pictures of all the occult items and placing them in bags as she looked at Hyunwoo just watching the door and talking to some officers as she sighed to herself. She bent down to her knees as she could see some blood splatter on the carpet as she tilted her head to the side. She walked over just marking it off as she took some pictures just measuring it as she jotted that down as she swabbed the blood. "Hyunwoo, can you close the front door for me?" She asked She watched as the front closed as she took a can illuminol from her kit as she sprayed it just turning off the lights as she put on the glasses just seeing the blood light up. She nodded as she started taking pictures as she turned lights back on when she finished as the door opened up as Haein and Kihyun walked in with buckets. "What are you two doing here?" She asked 

"Soojin said she found a bunch of plants." Kihyun said as Haein nodded. 

"I am in here." Soojin poked her head out as she looked Kymin. "Did you find blood?" She asked as the other nodded. 

"Yeah, I found a blood splatter heading up the carpet to up the front of the door." She said as she looked at her. She put down her glasses as she stared to search around the other side of the living room. 

Haein followed Kihyun as she set down the buckets that they were carrying as she sighed looking at all of the pots. She turned around as she looked at Kihyun. "I have to go get more pots." She said as she kept walking just going back to the van just grabbing another set of buckets as she started up to the apartment. She came back up as Kymin was looking at some books as she walked back to the room that Kihyun and Soojin were in as she looked as they placing the plants in buckets that she had brought. "So make sure that they are all in tact and left in the original containers. Also make sure that they are closed air tight." She added as she started put one in one of the buckets."I can anaylze all of these back at the lab." She added 

"Thanks Haein. Sorry for making you come out here when I know you really just want to stay in the lab." Soojin said as she looked at her 

"It is okay, I know that our department is small on staff, well people wiling to work with us." She said as she was writing down the label. 

"Yeah well we all a good team." Soojin said as she looked at them. 

"Some of us second guess that, I mean we let Seongwoo have anime figures at his desk. I mean one has cat ears, that is illogical and not real." Kihyun looked at them. 

"You have some at home. Seongwoo said you sold a bunny girl to him." Soojin looked at him. 

"Yeah but I don't bring them to work." Kihyun looked at her "And the bunny girl I won in a contest that I beat him in. I made him pay me because I knew that he would." Kihyun added as he looked at her 

"I have done five more while you two were bickering." Haein blinked at them as she went back to the picking up pots and putting in the buckets. She picked up a couple as she looked at them. "I am going to get an officer to watch the van while we take these down to it." Haein said as she walked out she Mark talking to Hyunwoo. 

"Hey, I thought you could use some help bringing those down." Mark said as he took the bucket in her right hand. "I can watch the van." He said as she just nodded as she followed him out. 

"Thank you." Haein said as they approached the van. She opened up the back hatch as she placed her bucket in it as she took the one from Mark as she placed in it as she got down just closing the hatch. "The others will be bringing theirs down just place them like I did." She said as she started up back to the apartment. She grabbed two more buckets as she started placing the pots in the buckets. "You two can take them down to Mark." She said 

"Because you don't want to talk to him?" Kihyun looked at her "I thought we talked about this. He will not hurt you and he only talks to you because he likes you." He added "Come on, Soojin is doing a good job. I'll be your wing rat." He said as he handed her a bucket as they started downstairs. 

"Hey Kihyun." Mark said as he opened up the van. 

"Hey. Haein was just telling me that she wanted to eat lunch in the break room today. You want to join us?" Kihyun asked as Haein snapped her head around at him. 

"Yeah, sure thanks. It will be fun right Hae?" Mark said 

"Yes." Haein answered as she took the bucket from Kihyun as she hurried after him. "I will poison your tea from now on and you'll die slowly then people will think you killed yourself." Haein said 

"Really? Your smiling." Kihyun said as he looked at her. 

"I guess you are right." Haein said as she sighed to herself. She followed him up as Soojin was finishing up with the last bucket as she grabbed a couple just as they did. 

"Kymin why are you taping up that wall like that?" Kihyun asked 

"Someone painted animal blood in patterns so I am usually different colored tape to map them out." Kymin nodded a she looked over to them. 

"Good luck with that." Haein said as she followed them out. Haein followed them to the van as she handed Kihyun the last bucket as she watched Mark close the back hatch. "We will get back to the lab and start working on these." Haein said as she nodded She walked to the passenger side just waiting for Kihyun. She waved to Mark who was going to follow them in his car just heading back to the lab.
