Vegas & Pete - The reason why I love you

I - 24 Confession

Porsche

Kim and I were driving to a beach near Chanthaburi.

I had received a call from my snitch. He asked me to leave the money in a trash can of a gas station. He added I would be watched all the times. All information about Chay's whereabouts would be given tom me as soon as I deposited the money.

I collected the money in a bag which contained a tracer hidden in the lining. I also sent one of our guards to hide in front of the gas station. I didn't want to take any chances, in case it was a bad lead.

Ten minutes after I dropped the money I received a message telling me that Chay was being held in a cabin on the beach with the exact GPS coordinates. It was about a 3 hours drive.

Kim and I were driving up but none of us wanted to rest, so much as we were worrying about knowing if Chay would be there and unhurted.

I had almost called the local police to ask them to go and check, but I was too scared he would be under surveillance and that something would happen to him. I preferred to go myself and Kim didn't want to hear anything, he was coming with me, that's all.

Should I tell Kinn about it? It was better to keep it all to myself for now. The fewer people knew, the less I put Chay at risk.

Kinn

Someone knocked the door. I was screaming - Come in!

It was Tankhun's new bodyguard, Uan who asked if he could come in. He looked very uncomfortable. What my brother done again ?

- Yes come in. What's the matter ?

- I have to talk to you about something but it's quite delicate.

- Speak, I have no time to waste.

- I'd like to be sure that what I am going to tell you is not going to cost me my job. Master Tankhun may be very angry with me.

- Look, I can't promise you anything until you tell me what he did, but I'll consider the fact you came to tell me everything.

- Well, a few days ago Master Tankhun invited Vegas to his office.

My hair started to rise with fear. "No he didn't do that!"

- He told him he wanted to make peace but in fact he drugged him.

- I wanted to scream but I say in a deep calm voice. - Keep talking

- He asked us to hold him in a house in the southern district. He apparently wanted him to separate from his boyfriend. But you understand...

- You come with me.

I got up furiously to head to Tankhun's apartments. I knocked hard on the door to open it, he jumped when he saw me come in.

- Damn Tankhun you went too far this time! I always spare you all your extravagance but that's too much!

Seeing Uan behind me who was looking at his feet, he cried: Uan you dirty traitor!

- Is that all you have to answer? Don't you think he wanted to protect you from a situation beyond your control by telling me everything? Have you at least thought about the harm you have done? Have you seen what state Pete is in? He is not a puppet who obeys all your orders! He's a person with feelings and if he likes Vegas you have to respect that. In addition you suffered from a kidnapping, how can you inflict that on your own cousin, even if you don't love him when you know how traumatic it is!

- Yes I know, I didn't want to hurt him. Tankhun said crying. - I wanted Pete to realize that this is not someone for him. But things got a bit out of control!

- Out of control!!! You come with me. I say to Uan. - We are going to free him and I dare hope he will forgive you. And you tomorrow you will go to Vegas to apologize in person!

I quickly left the room because I wanted to hit him. The relationship that had always been strained between all the members of our family was in danger of getting worse because of that jerk Tankhun!

Pete

The wait was killing me. Vegas my love where have you been? I was trying to hold on for Macau but I wanted to break down at any moment, to hide in our room and caress his clothes in the wardrobe, to smell his perfume and his creams, to caress the pillowcase his head rested on every night close to mine.

The doorbell wake me up from my thoughts. I rushed to see who was at the entrance, it was New. I pressed the intercom.

- I don't have much time here New.

- I absolutely have to talk to you. It's about Vegas.

- Come in.

We sat in the living room and I asked him full of hope: - Do you have any information?

He cleared his throat. - Pete you know how much I respect you. I'm going to tell you something but before you get angry, know that I have nothing to do with this. I'm just an employee forced to obey his boss.

I didn't understand but he scared me. Was the main family involved in Vegas' disappearance?

- Tankhun kept saying that Vegas stole you from him, that he was going to do anything to separate you but I thought he was bluffing but wouldn't go through with his plan. But the other day when I walked into his office I saw Vegas lying on the floor I really freaked out.

- What ? Did he hit him?

- No, he drugged him so that you believe he abandoned you and that you would let go of him.

- But damn it's nonsense! But is he okay? I didn't dare ask the question so much I was afraid of the answer.

- Yes, don't worry, he's fine.

All the pain accumulated over the past few days left my body. He was fine! He hadn't left me, moreover I had never thought of it. I only wanted one thing : go find him. While my thoughts were all for Vegas, New added :

- Do you understand I was afraid of losing my job, I wanted so much to succeed for Chan! But when I saw Vegas I told him that the situation was completely out of control and that you were suffering too much, so too bad for my job I was going to tell you everything.

At that moment he was interrupted by Macau who crossed the room and punched him in the face.

- Bring us to him now. he said

We were grabbing guns and going out when my phone rang. It was Kinn.
