The Beauty & The Gangster

"Take the older route" Boss Ohm said to Athee who was driving our car. All other cars followed ours.

There is a simple, fastest, straight route to Knight's casino which we know is where he is right now. But why is Boss not going that way? I was really confused. But Boss seemed busy thinking about something.

"What? Can you stop staring at my face doctor?" he suddenly asked me without looking at me.

"Where are we going? The casino is that way." I finally asked curious.

"We are taking a back route. This is the route only known to me and few of my men who used to work with Knight. Look at it clearly. You will recall."

That's when I tried to pay more attention to where were going. And I recalled the route from where Boss had helped us escape Knight. The night he fought with him, before he even thought of fighting with him, he had a plan in mind.

He helped me and his other men escape from Knight's casino from this route. And I remember that Boss did not only escape from there, he fled with us with trucks and tempos filled with children and women who were about to be sold off to foreign countries. He bombarded Knight's brothels and warehouses. He had it all planned. That night he would have died as well, but then too he had made sure that he would destroy Knight's power for once.

By the time Knight regained his power by making allies, Boss Ohm had already formed an association in Bangkok making him the most feared gangster, more than Knight in that area. The sole reason why we all were then saved and are leading the life we are leading today.

The car stopped short with a loud screech and we saw a blood coated Keith dragging himself and an unconscious Noah in his arms.

"Noah..." Boss ran out of car and held up Noah while the others held Keith. I immediately checked Noah's pulses and was relaxed when he was just unconscious. Boss was checking for any scratches on Noah's body.

"Let me check him." I ran towards Keith in order to check. Lord knows how much strength he had gathered to be able to drag himself and around a 30-pound kid with him in this condition.

"Breathe Keith." I screamed when he fell on the ground unconscious.

"KEITH! Wake up!" Mek screamed the loudest and held him while the others sat all around him.

"Rub his feet." I commanded Top and Ram while I tried to give him a CPR. But when I checked the pulse, he was long gone.

"Keith..." Boss Ohm almost whispered while tears slipped from his eyes. We all were shocked to see one of our friends die in front of us. We knew very well that his brother Tun was already dead.

"Boss..." Jay came running with a phone in hand. "Aunt Ying said that Nanon Sir along with Pond and Boom and the other two ladies are out of the house. They are on their way to Knight's casino."

"Hahahahahahahahaha" Nanon wiped his tears and started laughing. To our utmost shock, he seemed relieved while sitting on his knees in front of that horrifying scene of having a bomb tied up on Noah's chair.

Boom, Cherry, Preaw and I exchanged glances before I walked towards him. "Nanon..."

"It seems you have finally lost it." Knight commented smirking.

I stopped in place and turned to glare at him. While Nanon was still laughing.

"What the hell is wrong with you Nanon?" Cherry screamed at him and then turned to Knight. "You Bastard. Leave my child!" she stormed towards him in fury.
