Jin's luck, however, was not as good as Arya's - he didn't have time to set a trap either before getting caught in front of Alpha-Three. He knew the killers will spread out in search of them. He knew it was impossible to win against them without any weapons when they are together. So he planned to exterminate the Alpha Team one by one while they were isolated.

He let Arya go in her way and he stayed on the lower deck. And that was the cause of his misfortune. This deck got nothing to use as a weapon,
there was no better place to set a trap too. He was sneakily searching the rooms to find a better place and having the heed of any member of the alpha team. But his bad luck came out of the blue.

Jin heard the sound of boots as he came out of the SONAR room. He didn't get any time to hide.

In the blink of an eye, Alpha-Three came out in the corridor hardly twenty yards away from Jin.

That guy had excellent reflexes. He fired from his machine gun as soon as he locked his sight on Jin.

But Jin wasn't an easy target either. within a fraction of a second, he dodged the trail of bullets by diving to the floor and taking cover behind the corner of the corridor.

Bullets flew behind him. The failed bullets were hitting the bulkhead, creating sparks with metallic impacts.

Jin felt a pain in his shoulder, blood smeared on his fingers as he touched there. A bullet just went through the flesh there. Bearing the pain with gritted teeth, he got up and started running, looking for a place to hide.

A hatch came into his sight just in front. An arrow was on the side bulkhead reading: DIVING POOL.

He opened the hatch and came down to the lower compartment. The circular pool came into his sight as soon as he came down. The blue water of the sea was sparkling there.
Divers go down in the sea from here.

Jin thought for a few seconds and then searched for the diving store quickly. The door to the store was found on one side of the bulkhead.

Jin entered the storeroom and opened the closet door and rummaged through the diving equipment stored inside quickly.

Within a few seconds, he found two harpoon guns, but he knew those won't work. Harpoon guns are equal to nothing against automatic machine guns.

Besides, the killers were wearing bulletproof vests made of Kevlar, the spears of the harpoon guns won't even break through those vests.

He searched a little more, and suddenly seeing a five feet long white tube-like pole, a slightly cruel smile appeared on Jin's lips. That's exactly what he wanted.

A few minutes later, Alpha-Three approached the hatch. Cautiously, he advanced with careful steps, so as not to fall into a trap set by Jin.

He looked at the floor with sharp eyes, blood dripping from Jin's wound made a trail and It went down the hatch. The cruel murderer smiled. The victim was injured and he went down inside a closed compartment, unarmed. Hunting him down will be easy and fun.

He held the machine gun well, then he started going down the stairs carefully.

Halfway down, through the gap between the steps of the stairs,
A white stick-like thing came out.
Looking straight down through the grating, Alpha-Three saw Jin. That idiot was probably trying to trip him by inserting an aluminum pole in between his legs. Maybe he was thinking of pushing him down the stairs.

Alpha-Three almost laughed. How childish!

He stopped and pointed his weapon at Jin below and at the same time tried to kick the pole away.
