Patricia frowned as she thought of it, why wouldn't Jessie be in Jason's manor? Where was she then? Did they perhaps find out about her intentions all along?
Her eyes scanned her room , her gaze falling on a brown envelope. The envelope she carried with her when she met the chief of police yesterday.
"The photos!" She gasped, running to the study table she grabbed it and pulled out the pictures. The pictures containing Jessie, Jamie and that annoying doctor, Katherine Park.
If these pictures where only taken when she asked that Jamie Anderson be tailed that must mean Jessie wasn't even in the city! Ofcourse, she wasn't, why didn't she think of this earlier. She wouldn't have sent the police to Jason's manor, clearly and obviously stating enemity with him.
She picked up her phone and punched in the numbers, these had to be dealt with before she goes on set. "She's not in the capital, Jessie Marin she is not in the capital. Get every police officer you have in Jamie Anderson's hometown and have them search every crook and crany of that town for her." She ordered.
"Already on that, a woman reported a Jessie Marin sighting." He replied.
"Has it been confirmed?" Patricia asked.
"Yes Miss Lee, she is using a fake alias. Susan Jung, I already have men everywhere with check points and searching airports and bus stops." He said.
"Good, make she doesn't get away either. Also interrogate the detective he might know where she is." Patricia instructed.
*************************************************
Katherine and Jessie stood in awe and shock as they took a cuffed Jamie away.
They looked at each other and immediately grabbed their phones dialing as quickly as they could.

"Ugh! Jason isn't answering." She said in frustration.
"Paul phone is out of reach." Katherine sighed.
"What do we do now? Where do we go?" Jessie asked.
Katherine sighed and pursed her lips in thought, then it suddenly clicked. "Devon! Let's go to the hospital."
**************************************************
"Fancy seeing you here brother." Adonis laughed outwardly as he inwardly assessed his brother.
"It's been a while, how is Erika? And your kid?" Paul asked.
Adonis shrugged and answered. "There are fine, little Rekka keeps asking when uncle Paul will come by again."
It was Paul's turn to shrug. "I have that effect don't you think?"
Adonis avoided his question as though it was rhetorical it probably was. "This is odd timing, and because of that I assume you're here because of Katherine? I was wondering when you'd come for her."
"Katherine was here?"
Adonis' eyes widened slightly and his face broke out into the most satisfyingly annoying smirk. "You didn't know?"
"Well I did know she came to the city to speak to her- well her dad or whatever but why would she come here?"
Adonis clutched his chest playfully, fenning hurt. "Why wouldn't she? I mean we did grow up together, don't make it seem like I'm a stranger."
"But you are." Paul replied bluntly. "Why was Katherine here?"
"What? Are you afraid she leaked your secrets to me? The reason your hospital is doing so well when everyone expected failure? Why is the secret that valuable that you can't share with you dear older brother?" Adonis teased him.
Paul gave him a pointed look whilst keeping his expression plain. "Why was Katherine here?" He asked again more grimly.
Adonis poured and shrugged, "well I don't see a need to keep it secret. The truth might be more hurtful so I'll tell you."

"What do you mean by hurtful, is Katherine okay?!" He yelled.
"Calm down... eish!" He exclaimed. "She's fine.. I think well the last time I saw her she was fine. More than fine even, she was making out with her boyfriend so..."
Paul frowned "she doesn't have a boyfriend."
Adonis shook his finger "no, no she does. I'm sure she does, infact she told me that they were keeping it on the down low... you must not have known as well, well that's understandable."
Paul shook his head "no, no she doesn't. Katherine doesn't have a boyfriend, if she did I would have known." He insisted.
"Well why would she kiss Dr. Geum so passionately in front of me? She even said she came here just to visit him." He explained.
"Huh." Was all that he managed. Was that why she had been acting strange? But still how could she date someone and not tell him? He told her everything. It was her first boyfriend, he almost thought she was asexual but it appears she had feelings.
"Anyways, do you know where she is?" Paul asked.
"How I'm I supposed to know that?" Adonis asked.
"Oh whatever, I'll just call her." He said grabbing his phone.
"You can't use that in here."
"What? Why?"
"So it doesn't disrupt the radiology system in the hospital there's no signal here."
"What the actual fuck bro!" Paul groaned getting up, without looking back he dashed out of the hospital. Dialing quickly her called the bodyguards and asked their whereabouts.
"What do you mean you lost them?" He growled.
"Sir they ditched the car, we had a tracker on the car but they aren't anywhere close to the vehicle so we can't locate them." The guard informed him.
"Was the job not to get your eyes of them? Even for a minute? All of you are dead if you don't find them this minute. Send me your location right now." Paul yelled as he ran to his car.
Coincidentally as he drove away Katherine and Jessie came running into the hospital but also as soon as Paul left two cop cars drove the hospital. And quickly set up a check point there, trapping them.
"Again?!" Jessie groaned. "What the hell with all these fucking checkpoints? Why are they acting like I'm carrying a bomb?"
Preview 174: Pointless nepotism.
Katherine Park." He said as soon as Katherine saw him reach for his cuffs behind him she turned around and began to run, as fast as she could.
"Hey! Hey! Get her!" He yelled as they began to chase after her into the hospital.
Katherine ran towards the elevator having a small head start she pushed the button as quickly as she could. She kept pressing it as the cops headed towards her, just as they were about to reach the police from earlier stretched his arms to stop the doors from shutting.
