Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 128: Her Decision Part 1

Why?

Why must they do this? Why must they force her to choose?

What is their goal?

These thoughts flash across Lalisa's mind. She lifts her head and stares into the bright sky. The sound of a siren is still ongoing, Jungkook is driving at top speed on the road in the early morning; many people turn to look.

Lalisa's face is expressionless as she grabs onto the handle in the car. Her palm is hurting due to putting too much pressure on it. Jungkook looks at her with the corner of his eye and sees her in a daze. It makes his heart ache. He returns his gaze to the road, "The bomb disposal expert is in the car behind us. Let him save the other one."

Lalisa doesn't speak.

Perhaps there's still hope, but only perhaps.

Stopping the bombs from exploding on the two civilians has triggered the countdown to the deaths of two police officers. And she is the one who will decide who gets to live or die It's so cruel and presumptuous; this is the real retaliation and mockery on the Black Shield Team from the seven-member organization.

Her eyes become watery but she stops them from flowing out.

Bambam and Taehyung. Her most intimate friends who have accompanied her all these years, yet they're forcing her to choose.

But there isn't any other way.

Right after receiving the video just now, the technicians on the scene started to trace the signal. In just three minutes, they confirmed the general area, but they still need some time to figure out their precise locations. Both locations are in the East District, but one of them is in the South end while the other is in the North end. This means that after leaving the park and going East for a distance, Lalisa must make a decision. And after saving one of them, there will definitely not be enough time to make it to the other location.

They can't replicate her fingerprint either. After playing the video, Jungkook told Chatterbox to come to the scene immediately. Chatterbox's face turned pale when he finished watching the video and murmured, "No......it won't work! This fella is too smart. He's using a high precision fingerprint scanner that can sense the fine lines on the skin and its temperature. A normal fingerprint film won't work! I must go back to the station and grab my tools. If...If Lisa comes back to the station with me, it'll take at least 20 minutes to go and come back. It definitely won't be enough time!"

"Let me think for a while longer," she says softly with her head lowered while staring at the GPS on the dash. She has always been a direction idiot who can't tell where North, East, South, and West are. But she has engraved their current location and their route to save the two officers inside her head.

8 km.

There are still 8 kilometers before the intersection. With Jungkook's driving speed, it's around 3 to 4 minutes. She must make a decision: go South or go North. Otherwise, if they pass the intersection, they would be off route and won't be able to save either of them.

"I'll decide," Jungkook says suddenly.

Lalisa jerks her head up and looks at him. Both of his hands are on the steering wheel and his eyes are on the road. His expression is full of coldness, "I'll make the decision. I'll choose who you'll save. That's it."

Tears almost flow out of Lalisa's eyes.

If the other person cannot be saved, whoever makes the decision will be the one who will live with this burden for the rest of his/her life, wouldn't they?
