I ran. 

I ran as fast as I can. 

"I've secured the package." 

"Alright. The package will be on the move as soon as you leave the vicinity." 

"A19, tell me A31's status."

Silence

"A19!" I shouted. 

Silence

"Change of plans. Get back here with the package, A9"

"No! This isn't part of any plans we made!"

"A19!" I shouted again.

"A9! DO NOT MAKE ME REPEAT THIS AGAIN. GET BACK HERE WITH THE PACKAGE."

"But..."

"Don't waste the time A31 and A11 gave you to secure the package, Yujin."

"Wonyoung..."

"Can take care of herself. She isn't your competition for nothing." Eunbi-ssi said in her final tone. 

I forced myself to move.

"Please be safe, Won." I prayed silently.

As the last body dropped on the floor,  I heard Wonyoung over my earpiece. 

"A5?"

I stopped

"What did you say, A31?"

Silence

"A31, come in."

Silence

"Chaeyeon."

I wasn't listening. 

"Chaeyeon, you need to..."

"A31!" I cut her off.

"A11!" I went back to reality. Sakura rarely shouts at me. 

"Sorry. What was that?"

"I have to move. They'd be able to track me in no time. I don't know how that could be possible but yes, I'm losing the battle here."

"Listen to me, okay?"

"Be careful, Sakura." I replied unknowingly. 

"I...I...I will."

"Wonyoung is trapped. I can't get through her. I turned off the alarms that set off the fire. You have exactly 10 minutes and 29 seconds to get to her and get the both of you out of there. I'll be waiting for you at our meeting place. Do you understand me, Chaeyeon? Our connection will be cut as soon as I end this line."

"Copy that, A19."

"You have to be there, Chaeyeon. Time is of the essence." The line ended. 

I ran as fast as I can to where A31 is.

I backtracked.

I need to find the kid as fast asI can. 

9 minutes and 48 seconds.

The backup guards arrived.

I had to reroute to where the kid is. 

Running is bad. 

Running made my mind clear from the chaos.

Running made me hear what Wonyoung said earlier. 

Running gave me the time to think.

To overthink. 

"A5?" A31 asked innocently. 

She knows Minju. She knows what she looks like. She won't be calling her A5 if it wasn't her. 

Before I knew it, I was cornered. Again.

8 minutes and 36 seconds.

If I can't outrun them then, I just have to outfight them. 

Hold out, kid. You have to. 

"Go, A31! Now!", Eunbi-ssi shouted on the other line. 

"Roger that.", I braved my way through the building as A19 give me instructions where
