The man was grateful when his cellphone rang in the middle of the night. His shirt was soaking from his sweat. However, he just couldn't shake off the terrifying feeling he had from his nightmare. Wiping the sweat from his face, he picked the phone and answered rather softly.
"Yes?"
"Sorry to wake you up so late but it's kind of urgent. A woman has been kidnapped. Can you come to the address I'm sending you?"
He didn't mind as he couldn't sleep anyway. Nodding to himself, he agreed. "Send me the address. I'll be there."
"Thank you, Jaejoong. I'll see you soon. Bye."
Jaejoong hung up without responding and looked down at his phone. The nightmares were getting worse every night. It was pushing him to insanity and the sleeping pills weren't helping. As soon as the text arrived, he pushed himself off the bed and dragged himself to the bathroom. He took a quick shower and put on a clean shirt, before heading out.
The location wasn't that far but it was quite secluded from the town. Jaejoong soon saw the police cars near the designated house and parked there. Kyuhyun was waiting for him.
"Thank you for coming, Jaejoong." Kyuhyun shook hands with him and led him inside the house.
The interior was wrecked and the staffs were already working on gathering evidence. Jaejoong looked around and noticed the broken items and signs of obvious struggle. He also noticed the woman's picture on the tables, some of which were toppled over. The woman couldn't be more than early 20s.
"Park Gyuri, age 24 and working at the Logan corporation as an assistant HR. She was declared missing by her friend, who couldn't get her on the phone for few hours after they both left the office party tonight. She..."
"Tonight?" Jaejoong repeated. "You started an investigation without waiting the required period?" It struck Jaejoong a little odd that Kyuhyun didn't follow the regular procedure.
"The friend insisted. She requested someone to check on her friend. I sent my juniors to investigate and they found this mess." Kyuhyun softly explained. "I filed an official missing case and contacted her parents. They are on their way from Incheon."
Jaejoong understood and waited for Kyuhyun to remove his officers from the scene for Jaejoong to investigate. When they did, Jaejoong took the liberty to check the living room, occasionally touching few things, like Gyuri's picture frames and tables. But every time he touched something, memories appeared in the form of visions.
She was followed for some time now. She guessed it however, didn't think much of it. But when he got the chance, he attacked her in her own home. She was easy to subdue because she was scared of getting hurt. That didn't stop him from hurting her, though. He ensured that she didn't fight back and knocked her out.
Darkness ensued.
She didn't die but she was possibly unconscious. Now that he found her trace, it was time to find his-the attacker's trace. He must have left something for him to trace with. It could be anything-hair, blood drop, pieces of his clothes...anything. It wasn't long till he found something-traces of blood on the broken glasses.
And it wasn't long till he found the location of the attacker.
