Hyun Jung's brows were furrowed in worry. He was going through the files he had just received and the results looked worrisome.

They had been partners in many cases and she knew her senior officer well. Over the past few weeks, he had been secretly investigating a case on his own but refused to divulge the details.

"Yes," Hyun Jung answered. "Why do you ask?"
