Chapter 35.2
Hmm.
Black sighed while shaking the sweat out of his hair.
Then he closed his eyes and appeared to have already made up his mind.
Fine then. Fuck. Why not make a trip to China without even preparing a visa.
I dont even have a passport.
With a shrug of his shoulders, Mong-Doo voiced his agreement.
Then I felt movement coming from the floor beneath me.
The ship was slowly moving away from the port.
We had departed.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
Lets calm down, and then try to remember.
What could I figure out from the articles that had covered this incident back then?
There were wooden boxes in which two people had been crammed together.
And of these boxes, dozens were transported in one load.
Transported in one load
Hyung-nim!
A lightbulb popped over my head as I got an idea and called Mong-Doo and Black over.
Theyre not here, we need to go down to the lowest deck! Where they keep the delivery trucks!
Delivery trucks?
Thats the only way to transport the victims without having to load and unload their boxes.
As soon as they arrived at mainland China, they could be delivered directly to the headquarters of the Cheonyonghoe.
Though that would definitely require them to have people planted within customs and on the Newflower.
In any case, the only suitable way for them to be transported in one load was for them to have been carried in the back of a truck.
Mong-Doo. Newbie and I will search the trucks, so you should finish up here. You just need to go from here to there.
Understood.
Black almost flew down the stairs heading to the lower deck.
Dozens of delivery trucks of ordinary make and model were visible.
And among these trucks, the large 25-ton trailer stood out.
You can feel it, dont you?
At Blacks words, I nodded.
It was of adequate size and it had a Chinese license plate.
As he had said, I got the feeling that this was it.
Black and I struck with our hammers as hard as we could.
Clang- clang- clang!
Ugh.
With each swing of our hammers, we felt like our hands and wrists were being shattered into pieces.
Boom- boom-!
Fuck! Just! Get! Off!
Beside me, Black spat out a curse through gritted teeth.
The latch on the door was slowly peeling off bit by bit.
Aaargh!
Fuuuck!
Clink-
We pulled open our side of the doors to the trucks rear entrance at the same time.
In front of us were piles of wooden boxes.
It looked similar to what I had recalled.
In trembling hands, I held up my hammer.
I pried away a loose plank and got a look into the dark interior.
These were white legs.
And between them I could see a womans hair.
She seemed to have felt my presence as she slowly turned her head towards me.
There were no emotions to be seen in her shuttered, dark eyes.
Whether it be resignation, or even despair.
The moment I met her eyes, it felt like my heart had sunk to the bottom of my chest.
Sae-Bom-ah.
Sae-Bom looked at me as if she was dreaming.
It appeared that she thought I had to be a figment of her imagination, an illusion that her mind had come up with to escape this hellish situation.
I called out Sae-Boms name once more.
In order to wake her up.
In order to rescue her from the depths of fear that she had sunk into.
Sae-Bom-ah. Its time to go home.
Ever so slowly Sae-Boms brows started to furrow.
Light began to return to her eyes.
Im here to take you back.
Uu uwah
Finally, a beast-like cry erupted from Sae-Boms lips.
Thick streams of tears flowed endlessly from Sae-Boms eyes.
Biting down hard on my lips, I smashed open the rest of the boards.
Creak-
Sae-Bom fell out onto the floor along with the woman that she was tied up to.
Both of their arms had been tied behind their backs.
Then they had their necks and legs crossed with each other and tied together.
The woman lying beneath Sae-Bom started twisting her body like she was in a seizure.
Her face looked familiar. It was Congressman Jang Man-Chuns granddaughter.
She started shaking her head like crazy.
Mph! Mmm-mph!
Just take it easy. Please calm down.
I carefully cut the ropes binding their necks and feet.
Rip-
Sae-Bom tore off the tape covering her lips with shaking hands.
Then she stared down at the rope between her hands as if she still couldnt quite believe that this was real.
Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?
no.
Perhaps because she hadnt spoken in so long, her voice sounded very raspy.
Black kept on moving boxes and smashing open their lids, but mixed into the boxes were ones that only contained miscellaneous goods.
I turned on my radio and called Team Leader.
Beep-
Were at the delivery trucks on Deck D. Weve found the missing persons.
-Wha- Oh my god. Thanks Christ. Holy shit.
