Vegas & Pete - The reason why I love you

I - 12 I miss you

Pete

I am devastated. Vegas is mad at me for sure. He didn't even respond to my message.

What happened ? 

After arriving at this hideout Pol and Arm were called by Tankhun and left right away. I was left alone with New, watching his reactions. 

For hours he was very restless, trying to undo his bonds and insulting me from time to time.

- Bastard, untie me! Wait until I'm free, I'll kill you!

I wasn't trying to talk to him because I wanted to wait until he gets clean, but I felt like it was going to take a long time.

For several hours he had been prostrate against the wall, his head turned so that I could not see his face.

I had received the message from Vegas but I had not answered, for fear in case he asked me where I was. However, I intended to leave New attached until tomorrow and reach him in time.

New didn't moved for a while so I decided to get close to him to see if he was fine. Suddenly he jumped on me and grabbed my throat with both hands. He was squeezing very hard while yelling: - I'm going to kill you! - He pinned me against the wall to get a better grip. I was starting to lose consciousness.

- No, I do not want ! I thought. - Vegas I don't want to leave you!

With all the strength I had left I landed a huge punch in the stomach that made him let go. I swallowed a big gulp of air to catch my breath when suddenly he collapsed on the ground. His body was shivering. He opened his eyes wide and curled up, his legs tight to his chest. He was screaming while shielding his face with his hands.

- No go away, go away, leave me Ahhhhrgh.

I saw that he was not speaking to me who was right in front of him. In my job I had seen people on drugs several times and I thought he was in the middle of a hallucination.

Tears rolling down his cheeks, he truly looked terrified.

Even though I felt like giving him a few good kicks for trying to kill me, I couldn't help but crouch down in front of him.

- Hey New, man it's just the drugs coming out of your body. I told him but he was still crying loudly.

- Help me, help me. he said giving me a pleading look. - Give it to me

- I don't have anything here and, even if I did, I know Chan wouldn't want me to give it to you.

- How dare you talk about him? he cried as he got up

- He was an instructor but also a friend. He taught me my trade. You think you know everything but you know nothing. You probably see yourself as a superhero who will do justice, but not everything is black or white in life. All you'll get in this little game is getting yourself killed. I don't think Chan wanted that otherwise why did he took care of you, why did he loved you like a son?

His tears started up again, his shoulders were hunched and he put his head on his knees.

Despite myself, I sympathized with his pain. I couldn't resist patting him on the shoulder. 

Suddenly I felt his body sag, he had fainted. I tried to catch him and I brushed his hand. He was so hot. I put my hand on his forehead to see that he had a high fever.

- Shit! I said thinking Vegas was expecting me. I couldn't leave like that, if he ever died? Chan would never forgive me.

I sat against the wall and tried to think. - What to do ? First find a doctor, make him treated.

And Vegas? I couldn't join him or explain to him, he wouldn't understand. It wasn't the right time while he was angry, who knows why.

With a heavy heart, I sent him a message. I tried to be as nice as possible not to piss him of.

Pol

Since we came back Tankhun had been unbearable, shouting and cursing that we had abandoned him to have fun who knows where. No matter how much we explained to him we had taken the day off to see Pete, he didn't want to know.

- And if you went to see Pete, why didn't you ask me to come with you, huh? You know Pete was my favorite and I miss him. In fact you wanted to have fun without me because you are big heartless selfish people! he shouted

At the end of my nerves, I decided to go smoking. 

I was leaning against the wall when suddenly I felt a shadow falling upon me.

- Where is he ? Tell me where he is! Vegas shouted while holding his forearm against my throat.

- What are you talking about ? I replied, trying to keep my cool and look innocent.

- Pete, I'm talking about Pete! Since you pick him up he disappeared !

- I do not know what you're talking about !

- Don't lie, Macau saw you !

I didn't know if he knew something but in any case It was not my place to speak on it. He had to explain himself to Pete who, after all, was trying to save his life.

- I have nothing to tell you ! I said

He grabbed me by the collar and started pulling me inside the house.

- We'll go see your boss, we'll see if you decide to talk! he shouted
