2gether AU: Be You, be Mine

Chapter 11: Sarawat Was Willing to Give, but Was He Willing to Take It?

"Sarawat, guess what was the black substance Ohm found on the zip lock clear plastic bag."

Tine frowned as he read through the composition analysis report. Potassium nitrate, charcoal and sulphur. He shouldn't be surprised to find such a substance on the bag of substandard cocaine.

"Black powder and drugs, the only thing that connects is gunpowder."

"Exactly! But with this little stuck on the bag, I think it's most probably a transfer."

"So, we are looking for someone who handles guns regularly. Mil does, Dim supposedly, Green most probably. That doesn't narrow our pool of suspects down."

"I guess the only way now is to talk to Green, and ask him about his car. Also, Dim, we need to know what was the argument about before Pam was found dead. Earn said she would keep an eye on Sergeant Mil, for now, right?"

"That's right. Let's put the papers together so we could call Dim and Green in as soon as possible."

"Ooh, the mighty Investigator Sarawat Guntithanon summoned me in today. How can I help you today?"

Green toyed with his gold necklace as he sat opposite Sarawat and Tine. He snickered at Tine, this was his first time seeing Tine around. Tine looked way too innocent and too weak to be his opponent.

"No more whoring around with Earn? Does he know how you've slept with everyone in the lab? What a history."

Green jeered at Tine as he spoke. Tine raised one of his eyebrows a little, Green was delivering low blows by badmouthing Sarawat. Sarawat laughed coldly, as if this wasn't his first time hearing such ridiculous claims made against him. He wasn't here to catch up with Green anyway. Sarawat smirked as he heard Green's comments. A leopard never changes its spots. Tine pushed a photo of a car and Green's owner's information from the database across the table. Green peered at Tine before he took Tine's fingers into his hand.

"Everyone in the lab? You are in my lab now, Mr Green. How was my ass doing last night then? Satisfied with my service? Tell me, where's your Lamborghini Nero Granatus now?"

"Such pretty fingers, what a shame that you are working in the lab. I would treat you better if you come and work for me at my, let's say, gun range. Sarawat doesn't really know how to treat people politely, he could only treat you nicely in his king-size bed."

Tine withdrew his hands from Green's loose grip and he gave Green an innocent smile that sent chills. He wasn't used to playing dirty like Green, but that didn't mean he couldn't stand up for himself if he needed to.

"A gun range? Sounds like a place where you keep your f'ckboys. I'm expensive, are you sure you can afford to buy me over?"

Green's eyes widened by a little and the next second, he was back to his well-composed self. Tine looked innocent but his words were powerful. How did he know that? Although Green acted quick to hide his edginess, Tine managed to catch it as it flashed through Green's face. The gun range didn't sound like a gun range at all, it would hold more secrets than one could imagine. On the other hand, Sarawat was once again, impressed by Tine's gutsiness. One of his previous trainees left the room crying when Green threw her a sexual comment. Sarawat sympathised with her, nevertheless, he still thought that she needed more training, especially in the interrogation rooms. You just couldn't allow your suspects to step over you in such a way.

"It was stolen."

"When? And why didn't you report it to the police?"

Sarawat proceeded boringly as he was trained to. It was unusual for people to not report a stolen car, especially with such as expensive car, the implications that followed would be complicated.
