 'Jennie's on the Case'

No One's POV

"Hi daddy, I need to talk to you. It's very important... uhh... not sure how to say this, but I think Jennie, Jisoo and I have just pissed off a shitload of heavily armed, doomsday cultists. What do we do?"

Right after that, Lisa put her phone on speaker and placed it on the table so the others could hear her father's response.

It was hysterical laughter.

Jennie shook her head, "We are so going to die."

"I don't want to die" Replied Rosé with a fearful look.

Jisoo then put her arm around the red haired girl. "Don't worry chipmunk, I'll keep you safe."

Lisa and Jennie looked at each other and mouthed, "Chipmunk?"

Before however they could inquire about that, Marco Manoban stopped laughing. "That's real good Lisa, is there anything else you need?"

"Dad, I'm not kidding. This is not a joke. The cultists are real and I imagine they are quite upset by what we did."

Hearing the fear creep into Lisa's voice made Mr. Manoban realize this was no joke. "Lisa, what are you talking about?"

"Well... our friend Rosé had gone to college in Busan and fell in with this..." and so Lisa told the tale of Rosé falling in with a religious cult run by Reverend Dave and how she was ultimately rescued. Before Lisa could get to the weapons part, Mr. Manoban exploded.

"YOU STAGED A KIDNAPPING AND TOOK A PERSON ACROSS STATE LINES, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FED'S COULD DO TO YOU!? NOT TO MENTION..."

Mr. Manoban continued to yell at Lisa for committing a federal offence for the next two minutes, causing Lisa to cry. Jennie naturally put her arm around the Thai to comfort her.

"Daddy! I was helping Rosé and I got permission from her parents!"

Marco started to yell again but was swiftly and loudly cut off by Jennie. "Mr. Manoban, will you shut it? Okay, we broke a few federal laws, big friggen deal. Look, these people are probably looking for us and they have a storehouse full of military weapons, including Javelin missiles, claymore mines and lord knows what. So what do we do?!"

Hearing the words Javelin missiles and Claymore mines very quickly sobered up the police officer.

"You said they have weapons, military weapons?"

Lisa wiped her tears and answered, "Yes, both in the church on campus and it seems at their camp too. Rosé saw dozens on boxes of machine guns, missiles, plastic explosives and lord knows what. It's all real and literally a block away from a college campus."

Mr. Manoban then proceeded to ask Rosé a number of questions about the boxes and what was written on them. Having done a 3 year stint in the army out of high school, he was quite familiar with ammo boxes looked like as Rosé described them. Mr. Manoban felt a creeping sense of horror as he realized Rosé's description were exactly what those weapons container were supposed to look like.

Now sounding deadly serious, he said "Lisa, where are you right now?"

"We're in a pub near Hongik University. It's called the Pizza and Beer Pub."

"Okay, stay where you are and don't leave. Just eat, drink and act normal. I need to call my captain about this right now. I'll call you back. Everything will be alright. Goodbye."

The phone call ended and about a minute later, she got a text from Palisa.

-'I have a party to show off my new hot boyfriend and you have to ruin it with a national emergency. Thanks. Oh yeah... be safe and if they shoot at you, use Jennie as a shield.'
