Arm POV
"We can dock on this island and look for help. It appears to be a private island. There's water in the canteen. Good thing we found it on the boat. Drink some water."
"Thanks."
"Let's leave the boat on that side. It will be more hidden if the kidnappers are here."
"Right."
"Any problem, Macau?"
"Uh? No... none."
Macau's been very quiet the entire way, lost in his thoughts.
"You're worried, aren't you? Pete must be on one of those islands. Even on this one. We need to warn Khun Kinn and Khun Vegas to send help. Everything's gonna be allright."
"My brother will not rest until he finds us. I know that. And P'Pete is very skilled. I know he's fine. I have faith in both of them."
"So what is bothering you, Macau?"
I'm worried about this boy. On the outside he tries to be tough and cool like his brother. But inside...I've been by his side long enough when Vegas was hospitalized to know that Macau needs attention and care.
"What I want but I can't have."
"And what do you want? Tell me. Maybe I can help you."
He looks insecure.
"Never mind...Did you manage to fix your wire?"
Better not force him to say anything. When he feels like trusting me, he can open up to me.
"Not completely. In case we can't find help here on this island, I hope that with the adjustment I made, this wire will transmit a signal via satellite to the main family mansion's terminal. There is no more fuel in the boat for us to come back. Besides, I asked Pol to monitor a tracking device for me. I hope the signal is enough for him to detect us here. The boat radio doesn't work at all."
"Good. I knew you were like the pocketknife guy from a TV show. I've told you."
"Hmm... And was he handsome like me?"
"Uh?...yes...I guess..."
Haha, he got shy.
"Don't mind me, I'm just kidding."
"You are really very handsome, Arm!" Macau blushes. "...and strong...and smart...and kind... and that's why my brother wants to kill you."
"Hmn...and that's why you came to protect me..."
"..." He averts his gaze to the sand.
Macau is such a nice kid. No wonder Pete is so fond of him.
"...but there's no reason for Khun Vegas to bother with me. Don't worry so much about me either. I don't want you to risk yourself this way."
