Macau POV

"Are we in the open sea?" I asked trying to distinguish sky and sea in the dark.

"Hmn...we are."

"Are you okay?"

I walked over to Arm, who grimaced in pain every time the little fishing boat rocked harder with the waves.

"I'm okay, don't worry" Arm was controlling the helm of the little boat.

"Let me see." I opened Arm's shirt. Mhmn...his chest is so toned...bigger than mine...not bad at all...oooi! Focus Macau! There are several purple marks on his chest and and it is swollen in the region of the ribs. "Despite your bulletproof vest, you have some broken ribs. Shit! Why didn't you stay at the port to be rescued?"

"I couldn't let you come alone! It's my job to protect you."

Hmn...cool! Arm cares about me, huh?!

"No, it's not! I'm not from the main family."

But I'm mad at him because he's injured.

"...You are a Theerapanyakul's family member...Besides, Pete is my friend."

"Oh...sure...P'Pete...We must find him. That's why I jumped into this boat."

I almost forgot for a minute that Arm is in love with Phi.

"And you are my friend too, right?" Arm put one of his hands on my shoulder. "Thank you Macau...you saved my life again."

"Mmm. Could you please stop making this a habit? Stop getting into dangerous stuff, man!"

Arm started to laugh. "Sorry, it's my job."

He patted my head. You see, Arm! I know how to make you laugh.

"Argh! With so many boats anchored, I took just the worst. Not even the radio works. That speedboat left us behind."

"Don't worry. You thought very fast. If you hadn't taken a boat, we would have completely lost track of Pete."

"I acted on instinct. When the explosions started I ran to the first boat I saw."

"Hmn... when I saw you alone, I ran in your direction."

"Vegas handed me a gun and ran up to P'Pete." I felt distressed thinking about how my brother must be feeling. "I can't let anything bad happen to Phi. We must rescue P'Pete. My brother will be devastated if I don't. All of us will." I feel a sharp pain in my chest. "Pete is fine, right? My vision was blurry but I think he got ..."

"If I didn't believe he was alive, I wouldn't have let you out of that harbor. You are here to save us all." Arm smiled at me.

"Mhmn...thank you, Arm." I felt more hopeful.

"By the way, how did you end up in that port?"

"Me?" Fuck... how do I explain that?

Basically, I sneaked out of the main family's mansion on my motorcycle and followed them to the harbor in the first place. I was afraid my brother would take a chance to do something bad to Arm. Of course I wouldn't shoot my brother. Maybe I would just scare everyone off with a few shots here and there...no big deal. Then I saw that mess and a gun pointed at his head.
