Tharn and Type's penthouse would be HQ at 2am.

In the living room, there was all of Tharn's family, Type's family, Champ, Techno and the lawyer.

He had to bring Thanya with them because they couldn't leave her home alone. Tharn put his sleeping sister in one of the guest rooms.

Type's note was passed around.

-The lawyer: This is unexpected, but let's not be too quick to rejoice. Type may not have his bracelet on him anymore.

-Tharn: But we'll start looking for the location of his bracelet.

-No: but why would Type put a tracker on him? It's not really a convenient thing to do.

-Tharn: I don't know! His note doesn't give much away, but it's like he knew something was going to happen to him.

-Thorn: Well, the application is working. In a few moments we'll know the location of the bracelet.

Everyone holds their breath and for what seems like an eternity when it's only 3 minutes, an address appears on Tharn's phone screen.

-Tharn: But it's the address of Lhong's house.

-No: the hell! Type is my friend, I would never hurt him, nian nian! Liar.

-Lawyer: I don't think Type is in Lhong's house

-Type's father: but the bracelet is!

-Lawyer: With this note and the GPS location of the bracelet, I can get a search warrant for Lhong's house. And if the police indeed find Type's bracelet at his house, an arrest warrant will be effective.

-Tharn: Then we must hurry!

-the lawyer: but I am sorry! We will have to wait until daybreak, no judge will be able to sign a warrant at this time. I am sorry.

-Tharn: What? We can't wait...

-Lawyer: We have to be careful. Lhong must be very clever to have hatched such a plan. With San in jail, he's less vigilant and we'll take advantage of that. We must not let him suspect anything, otherwise he could get rid of the bracelet or worse, decide to finish with Type.

-Tharn's father: Yes, son, we have to outsmart him.

-Lawyer: I promise I'll present all this first thing in the morning at the police station. Make sure you get some rest, we all have a long day ahead of us. Good night.

Tharn escorted the lawyer out and then back into the apartment.

-No: we're going to go

-Tharn: It's very late, it's dangerous to be on the street at this hour.
You can all stay, there is enough room. Champ and No can share the room at the end of the hall. Mom and Dad you can sleep with Thanya. P'Thorn will take the last room.

-No: this apartment has so many rooms?

-Tharn: Type said you never know. Always be prepared for any eventuality. Good night to all.

The sun rays pull Tharn from his sleep. He finally got some sleep. After his morning shower, he joined the others in the dining room.

The mothers had prepared breakfast. They all ate in silence while waiting for the lawyer's call.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Tharn was not expecting anyone though!

-Tharn: What can I do for you?

-Unknown: is this the address of Tharn Kirigun?

-Tharn: Yes, I am Tharn.

-Unknown: Please sign here to certify that you have received your piano delivery.
