Sungmin eyed the gun warily and deliberately wedged himself between Jongwoon and Siwon.

Siwon grinned at them lazily, “Looks like I almost missed the party.”

“It's about time,” Geng's chiding voice was thin and sputtered with wheezes, the bullet had punctured his left lung.

Siwon acknowledged Han Geng's presence with a slight tick of an eyebrow and radioed for a medic without taking his eyes off his target. “Ge, I thought I told you to take it easy.”

“I'm fine, stop treating me like an old man.” Han Geng tried to make light of the situation, but in truth every breath was a painful struggle.

Sungmin was still trying to make sense of it all, but Han Geng obviously knew, Siwon and Geng were always attached at the hip. He had hoped to make his escape before running into his nemesis and to top it all off, the jackass appears while clad in a traditional police uniform. Sungmin's done plenty of things to conceal his own identity during missions, but this went above and beyond anything he had ever tried. It would be careless to assume that Siwon's getup was merely a disguise. Deep cover. Sungmin had always believed that the smug bastard would have made a better spy than an assassin.

It was truly a surprise, Sungmin had to give him a nod of admiration for that one.

The motives of most of the organization's operatives were pretty one dimensional and straight forward. Some just liked violence, others were mindless soldiers, but most just did it for the money. The organization heads were all realists, they never expected any assassin to be pure and loyal, but they had pro
