"We need to talk," motioned the young actor, directing Choi Young to follow him outside.

"What is it?"

But he did no respond, looking deadly serious and visibly upset. "Tell me the truth, Daejang," demanded Lee Min Ho.

"The truth?"

"I overheard your conversation with Eun Soo-shi. It makes no sense. It is crazy, right? It is not true?"

Choi Young looked him straight in the eye, silently.

"I must be crazy," chuckled Min Ho. "Goryeo, time travel, your friend. I mean, I am losing my mind."

But his trainer did not deny the ridiculous accusation. He continued to stare at him, as if it was the only thing he could do to avoid lying.

"Say something, Daejang," Min Ho raised his voice.

"If I admitted it was truth, would you believe me?"

"I trusted you. I respected you," the young man screamed now hurt and offended. It was obvious that he felt personally betrayed. "What am I supposed to do?"

"What you think is right."

"I can't tell anybody, they will commit me to the nuthouse. And... What does it mean? Can you really travel in time? Is Jae Su from the past? What about the doctor?" He looked tormented by the knowledge of this nonsensically maddening and yet somehow believable Choi Young's identity. The man who stood in front of him was different from anybody he ever met. He was deeper, more solid and wiser, his eyes reflected history of many battles, and his somber expression only confirmed that if anyone, then it would be Choi Young, a time traveler from the Goryeo dynasty.

"I was angry and confused and I called the police... I think I made a horrible mistake, Daejang. Are you really a General?"

"I am. And I was the one that brought this unrest into your life. I apologize sincerely," Choi Young's proud head lowered in front of the actor who was stunned into silence.

"I must stop them." And Min Ho grabbed the phone. "Hello, may I speak with inspector Kwan? I called earlier, sir. Yes, it is Lee Min Ho. Thank you. I will make sure to stop by the station to give autographs. About earlier, I made a mistake. No investigation is needed. No, I'm sure. It was a misunderstanding. This was a wrong man, I would really appreciate if you could forget about our conversation."

. . .

"Have you sent the men to follow him?" Asked detective Kwan after hanging up.

"Yes, sir. He is currently at the hospital with the actor. They seem friendly and nothing suspicious is going on."

"Let's keep a car for surveillance nearby, we are still searching for that criminal with a sword. He did say that his teacher was a sword master. He might lead us to the man in question. Let's not discount any new leads."

. . .

It took very little time for the hospital grounds and the surrounding area to swarm with police officers; orders were been shouted, and a large search team moved through the darkened grounds. Dogs barked, searching for a trace, while powerful flashlights and the headlights from the police cars attempted illuminate the area, flooding it with beams of stark light. Looking from over a broad tree branch, unsure of what to do, Choi Young turned to Jae Su, who was resting against the tree's trunk, trying to catch his faltering breath.

"You should have stayed down. What did you think to accomplish injured and without your weapon?" Asked Choi Young sternly. He was worried for his friend, but it showed in scorn and the harsh comradely reprimand. Watching his friend in pain and hurt again was hard for him. He wished he could return the man to the hospital room, so that he could rest and heal. But there was no peace for Jae Su, not after all they have been through.

"I did not have time to think. It's a reflex. Would you rather I watched as the assassin abducted Eun Soo?"

"Eun Soo? Don't call her so informally. I ought to..." He raised his arm as if for a punch and just shook his head. "Fool," mumbled Choi Young. Of course, he would have done the same thing in his place, only he would not have jumped on the sword to be harpooned so easily. "You lost your touch."

"I lost my sword. If you did not take it away, I would not be covering a hole in my stomach and the assassin would have been neutralized," angrily barked back Jae Su.

"Let's not fight. You are badly hurt."

"I'll survive long enough to you see through the Hwata's gate."

Choi Young ignored the statement and looked down. Two police officers were moving under the tree, so the warriors fell quiet.

"We are looking for an adult male, armed and dangerous. He could not have gone far. He is injured.

One, they are hunting Jae Su? Assassin surely set him up well. He signaled silently to his friend, Can you walk? The old brigade language easily resurfaced in his memory.

Jae Su nodded, cringing in pain, holding his stomach.

The police officers shone the lights upwards and the two men held their breaths blending into the foliage.

"Noone here," muffled the radio and they responded, "here, too." They turned, directing the harsh spotlights to light their path.

After it was safe, Choi Young suggested, "We should get moving, but I think you are in no condition for a clean escape."

"Does it really matter?" Jae Su looked ready, despite obviously continued pain.

"Your wound? Can you bandage it?"

As his friend tightened his belt, biting his lips not to scream, Choi Young's face twisted in pain for him. A plan quickly formed in his head.

"I'll go down first. Since it will be hard for you to walk, we should take a car."

"Can you drive that thing?"

"Me, no. But one of those guys can. Wait for my signal."

Choi Young landed quietly on the ground and disappeared after the officers.

Suddenly, one of the dogs ran up to the tree, having caught the trail of blood, and sniffed, whining lightly and scraping the trunk.

Jae Su prepared to be discovered and smiled into his scruffy stubble. It was good Choi Young was not with him. He would not be linked to the known criminal, Eun Soo will explain everything and Woodalchi will return home to accomplish his mission of changing the history.

A familiar signal-whistle was heard before the lights of the car flashed twice and loud revving of the engine reverberated in the air. The dog was called away and Choi Young appeared under the tree, holding a bugged-eye police officer by the collar. "Hurry, the car is ready," he called in loud whisper, while Jae Su attempted to climb down, letting out guttural moans of pain. Woodalchi gave a quiet command and the police officer reported over his com that the area was clear and that he was going to take a look on the road.

. . .

"You are looking for a criminal, I will give you one. He is a coldblooded murderer. Have your dog find this man," Choi Young calmly instructed the officer who jerked back as a sword covered in blood was offered for the dog to pick up scent. The dog whimpered and smelled the weapon, then turned and ran off into the darkness. In a minute, a bark was heard from afar and Choi Young found the dog stopped at the curb by the road where a thin trail of blood had ended. Both him and the police officer stared at each other for a moment till realization sank and yelled at the same time, "He took a taxi!"

"Can you find the taxi that picked him?"

"Yes, we can use the traffic cameras." The policeman forgot for a moment that he was kidnapped at a swordpoint and got excited about a lead in investigation.

"Then do it, hurry!"

Like with everybody else who witnessed the General in action, his quiet orders were followed without a question and Soon Choi Young, Jae Su and two police officers, who had to give up their guns, drove off with sirens blaring after the assassin.
