I sighed and chucked my phone into the back seat of the car.

“I hate lying to him.” I muttered and stared out the window.

“It’s better that way, at least for now and until we have some answers.” Tao reminded me and I just nodded.

The two of us were sat in the car outside a motel in Gangwon. Tao took the keys out of the ignition and opened the door.

“Let’s go in and hope they have a room for us then we’ll go find the person.” Tao told me and grabbed our small amount of luggage from the trunk of the car. I followed suit and he locked the car as we headed to the reception of the motel.

 “Good morning, how may I help the two of you today?” The man behind the desk smiled and I glanced in Tao’s direction.

“We need a twin room if you have one.” Tao spoke and the man typed away on his computer quickly.

“So how do you know this person?” I made conversation with Tao to try and occupy my mind. He glanced at me whilst he was driving and sighed quietly.

“She’s from a Chinese wolf pack; we crossed paths a few times when I lived in China.” He informed me and I just nodded. I thought to myself; crossed paths? I got the feeling that Tao and this woman were involved at some point.

“Okay.” I replied and Tao pulled off down a side street

“This is it.” he stopped outside a rundown building and I suddenly felt fear deep inside. “Oh, I should warn you, don’t be offended if she acts a bit jealous. She’ll probably think we’re a couple, but just ignore that.”

“Erm, okay.” I spoke unsurely a
