Loyalty or love?-

Vegas was long gone and Pete couldn't stay at the safe house another night. It would just be too painful. He had to let the love of his life go. Pete knows why the reason Vegas left him but it still hurts. Staying at this safe house was the happiest Pete as ever been.

He got Vegas to admit that he likes him.

Pete returned home to Kinn as he stood nervously at the tall building. No one knew he had returned back just yet and he is not sure what to expect.

"Here we go Pete." Pete said to himself as he walked in through those glass doors.

Pete walked all the way to where all the bodyguards hang out to eat and everyone saw Pete as they looked shock like they saw a ghost.

Porsche stood up as he didn't care that his fork fell on the floor. He was surprised to see his friend that he made when he first got here is standing in front of him.

"Ai Pete?" Porsche walked up to him as he hugged him tightly.

Pete hugged him back as he was really happy to see him after so long. He is glad that Porsche is doing okay since he's left.

"Where have you been? We all thought you were dead. We tried to find your body but to no luck. We thought Vegas killed you and hid your body away." Porsche admitted which made Pete laugh.

"I'm fine Porsche." Pete admitted.

"Let's go to Kinn right now and tell him that your alive and here." Porsche let go of their hug and Pete stood tall.

He didn't expect to see Kinn just yet but what did he expect. He just returned back and he has to see his boss sooner or later. Pete nodded and gave out his old fake smile to hide his nerves. Porsche took Pete to Kinn and knocked on his door.

"Come in." Kinn announced and Porsche opened the door and step in.

Pete was behind him but he then revealed himself to Kinn.

Kinn's eyes open wide to see Pete still alive. He was sure that Pete was dead but no he was alive and well. Kinn wonder what happened and why is Pete returning now after so long?

"Khun Kinn, I have returned." Pete bowed to show respect.

"Where have you been?" Was the first thing Kinn asked him.

Pete bit his bottom lip nervously. He's not sure what to say about his whereabouts but he has to tell Kinn something.

"I've been taken hostage by Khun Vegas. He had me as his personal prisoner." Pete admitted but not all the truth.

"I see and how did you escape?" Kinn asked, still keeping his voice calm but sturdy.

"Um....he left me and decided to run away." Pete said, still keeping half the truth.

Kinn has heard enough and stood up and walked towards Pete.

"So, you have no idea where Vegas is hiding, right?" Kinn asked as he looked into Pete's eyes.

"Yes sir." Pete said.

Pete has no clue where Vegas is but he does know that he went to another safe house but that's not even enough information for Kinn to use to find him. Kinn sighed as there is nothing he could do with that lack of information.

Vegas is on the move again and he is nowhere to be found but at least Pete is still alive.

"Go freshen up yourself and go eat dinner. We'll figure something out and I'm sure Kim has some questions to ask you." Kinn said to Pete.

Pete nodded and followed Porsche out of Kinn's office and into their room. As Pete walked in for the first time in a month, it was clean and it felt like barley anyone slept in there.

Both their beds were neatly spread and he knows that Porsche never spreads his bed. Pete would always do it for him but he was surprised to see it neat and clean.

"Ai Pete, where are you going?" Porsche asked him. Pete turned to see Porsche with a goofy smile on his face. "I haven't seen you in a month and I'm worried. I heard Khun Vegas is a psychopath so tell me how was it like staying with him for that long." Porsche said as he sat down on his bed.

Pete doesn't really want to talk about Vegas. He is already sad about it enough and just wants to shower, eat, and go to sleep. He knows he has a long day ahead of him tomorrow but Porsche looks tell him that he won't sleep in his bed tonight if Pete doesn't talk to him about it.

"Khun Vegas is the devil with a gorgeous handsome face. I wouldn't trust him ever. He's bipolar, demanding, and most importantly an asshole." Pete told Porsche.

"Thank god you made it out of there alive." Porsche said happy to see Pete.

Pete nodded and put up his fake smile and walked towards the bathroom to shower but the moment he shut the door, he broke down in tears.

'I miss you so much Vegas.'

Pete didn't have a good night rest because he kept crying about Vegas. He could barley finish his food and everyone noticed it and Pete loves food. Porsche kept asking if Pete was okay but Pete insisted that he was fine but Pete was not fine.

He was miserable. Miserable without Vegas.

Pete was called into Kinn's office with Kimhan and Porchay in the office this time. Pete sat down as Kim sat beside Pete and trying to read him like a detective. Kim doesn't believe Pete half ass story about how Vegas just got up and left and gave Pete the opportunity to escape.

Pete couldn't even explain how he escaped. Something isn't adding up and Kim wants more details. He had his suspicions about Kinn's head bodyguard for awhile and how Pete was fooled so easily to let Vegas escape so easily.

Kim is willing to believe that Pete might be working for Vegas. Otherwise Vegas wouldn't have kept him alive for this long.

'Who really is this guy Pete?'

"I want you to explain the story one last time Pete. Just so I.....fully understand." Kim said lastly as he tries to see if he can get a clue if Pete is hiding something.

"I was taken hostage and became Khun Vegas's prisoner for a month. Just yesterday morning, he left and never came back so I took the opportunity to escape without getting caught." Pete said for the 10th ten.

"Enough already. I heard this story so many times that my ears might just fall off." Porsche suddenly interrupted.

Kinn shot him a glare but understood Porsches complaint. They weren't getting anywhere with this little information and everyone in the room was tired of Pete repeating himself.

Kimhan stood up from the table as he started to looked at his older brother. Kinn gave him a so confused look to know what Kim is actually planing on doing next.

"Pete, I need you on our side right now. It's in our best interest to find my cousin. You've been with Vegas for a month. You must know something of his whereabouts." Kim said in a low calming voice but still kept his demeanor strong.

"I told you I don't know where he is Khun Kim. If I had a clue, you would have been the first to know." Pete said as he looked straight into Kimhan's eyes.

Kim sigh as he finally realized that Pete is telling the truth and he doesn't really know but he feels that he knows something. It's just strange how Pete was not killed by Vegas.

'Why did Vegas keep him alive for?"
