'The Road Ahead'

No one's POV

His face suddenly turning ashen, Kai gasped. "You were wearing a wire."

Ignoring him momentarily, Lisa ran into the bedroom and returned a second later with a comforter. She then placed it over the naked and bruised form of Jennie, who was still on the floor.

At this point, a tall detective with black hair and fair skin came in. "Lisa, are you okay?"

"Yes, other than a small cut, I'm fine Detective Hong, but Jennie needs help."

Detective Hong poked his head out of the door, "Hey guys, we have a woman in here that needs help, pronto!"

No sooner as he said that, two paramedics with a gurney rolled into the room and immediately headed towards Jennie.

Knowing that Jennie was in the safe hands of the paramedics, Lisa got up and walked to Kai who was still being held by the 3 tactical officers. Gone, was Kai's arrogant swagger. At the moment he looked like a frightened child, who was about to pee his pants.

"You tricked me! It was all just an act." Kai's voice squeaked in disbelief.

"My greatest performance. Such a pity no one will ever see it." Remarked Lisa, with a small measure of disappointment.

"No... it can't be."

"You see Kai, I walked away 3 years ago and ever since, I've barely been able to live with myself. After that, I made a vow that I would never turn my back on Jennie again, no matter the circumstance. I got Jennie's message a few minutes after she sent it. Knowing she needed help, I called my dad. He then called a friend from the police academy, who transferred to Mapo-gu a few years ago; Detective Park Hong Joon here. Detective Hong, his captain and I realized we had a serious situation on our hands. Once we spoke with Dr. Daesung, we fully understood what was going on. Using his advice, we quickly formulated a plan. Dr. Daesung said that if you had thought you had won, it would be almost a child's play to get you to boast about or confess what you did. He said you'd practically be dying to do so. I even talked to our Professor, who gave me some last minute pointers on how to look utterly defeated. They wired me up and I went in with my fake gun. I just needed to play my part, appear to lose my nerve and get you to talk. The whole plan was hastily planned and executed, but thank God you're not as slick as you are."

Lisa turned to Detective Hong, "You got him on tape, right?"

Detective Hong looked to Kai with distain. "Yeah, clear as a bell, admitting to one rape in Songpa-gu. 3 specific rapes in Seodaemun-gu and a reference to possibly several dozen others. It appears he also hit you Lisa, so we can add assault to that pile of charges."

Kai's mouth opened and closed a few times as the panic stricken actor seemed to grow more desperate. Finally he looked to Jennie as she was being placed on the stretcher and pleaded.

"Jennie, tell them... it's all a mistake.... Please!"

The severely beaten feline eyed girl looked at him and using all of her might screamed, "RAPIST!"

Suddenly shifting from despair to anger, Kai glared at Lisa. "You turned her against me, you bitch!"

Lisa then punched Kai right in the face, then kicked him in the nuts, causing him to fall to the floor with a pitiful moan.

Standing over him, Lisa seemed to grow utterly enraged and for a moment, she appeared as If she was going to kick him in the head. Instead she spat on him and hissed. "I got you... it took me 3 years, but I finally got you. Maybe, just maybe, I can finally look at myself in the mirror again. But know this... I fucking got you. You. Worthless. Son. Of. A. Bitch."
