Utility
The first week of April 2013, in an industrial complex near Seoul.
Mr. Lee and his family carried a bag in each hand while waiting for someone to pick them up.
A black SUV rolled up in front of a random warehouse and flashed its headlights.
It was an agreed-upon signal, and the family entered the SUV without saying a word.
"Where are you taking us?" Mr. Lee asked a man wearing tinted glasses sitting at the front passenger seat.
"Our organization is active worldwide, but the boss decided to take you to the north." the mysterious man replied.
"The north? As in North Korea?!" Mr. Lee shouted in reply as his family was frightened by what the man said.
"You will do your part, Mr. Lee. That is the deal. Follow instructions, and you will keep your lives." the man stated in a monotonous tone.
[Maybe imprisonment was a much better option.] Mr. Lee pondered while the vehicle left Seoul.
