WEGATH ( VegasPete )

Vegas

There was not a night Vegas didn't miss Pete, to be precise, there was not a moment Vegas didn't miss Pete and now at one AM lying sleepless on his bed is nothing different, especially after meeting Chey today and with all the events going on, Vegas had no choice but to take a sleeping pill, he needed sleep, to forget his misery, to give his body rest so he can be more productive and have the energy to find Pete.

It's been three weeks passed since that day and Vegas immersed himself in finding more links and connecting all the clues he has gathered in these two years. Every day he will finish his work as early as he can and then dedicate all his remaining time in searching for ways to find Pete. His colleagues and superiors have given up on him, they have witnessed Vegas going from a crazy spoiled arrogant brat who used to pester Pete all the time, turning Pete crazy to a Vegas that was head over heels for Pete, worshipping Pete like a god, taking all his orders as a servant would, to a decent intelligent and diligent human being and then back to a crazy one after Pete's disappearance, but this was a different crazy than what Vegas was when he joined, Vegas was still diligent, doing all his duties but everything around him was invisible to him, his only focus was in finding Pete no matter what it takes.

today Vegas found himself inside the company to attend a board meeting he can't avoid as one of the major shareholders in the company. He was accompanied by his personal assistant Nop. Nop manages all the company stuff related to Vegas as he is least interested in anything business related. The meeting was again a boring one for Vegas, him being not even bothered that all these things excited him once. How much he has changed was a task for others to worry about.

"You are looking worse and worse as the day passes" Kinn followed by Khunn came to Vegas after the meeting when everyone else left and Nop was telling Vegas some important information that Vegas can't miss.

"I.... aaaah... I don't know" Vegas replied sighing and rubbing his face with his palms trying to take a moment. Khunn put his hand on vegas' shoulder just to reassure him that the cousins were there for him.

"I know you can't let go of everything but can you at least slowdown to take a breather cousin" Kinn spoke out of worry.

"I can't give up Kinn... I just can't... I can't stop now, can I? " Vegas gave a sad smile.

"I'm not asking you to give up, just slow down a little, give yourself a break. stop beating yourself up..... or... or at least talk to someone, do you want me to introduce a psychiatrist to you, it will help."

"I'm not fucking sick Kinn" Vegas lashed out, he stood up pushing his chair that rolled to the other side with the impact. "You don't understand, none of you do. I'm living my life here and where is Pete? where is Pete Kinn? is he safe? is he not suffering? is he happy? is he....... Is he even alive? where is my Pete Kinn?" He stuttered with overwhelming emotions and couldn't stop tears to fall off his eyes.

Vegas wiped his tears and left the conference room instructing Nop "Nop just send me a mail of whatever you were telling."

Kinn was stunned and also felt guilty, he knew how sensitive Vegas has always been on the topic of Pete and he can see how much Vegas is suffering. Khunn saw towards Kinn in sadness.

There was a time when Kinn saw Vegas as a big competition, as someone that will snatch his position as the heir. Vegas always made Kinn insecure with his intelligence and cunningness. Khunn started to detest Vegas at some point, saw Vegas as someone who can't be trusted and Vegas was that in the past, someone who can't be trusted but not anymore.

Now the whole family looks at Vegas pitifully, they can see his pain but can't help much, not once they denied Vegas of taking using the business connections in whatever Vegas needed to find Pete, their sources were always open to Vegas, but it was not enough. It was enough to find Chey but not to find Pete.

Vegas drove aimlessly, tears still rolling without drying. Vegas was frustrated, Vegas was sad, Vegas was defeated. what was the use of him being a cop? what did he get by born in one of the richest and influential family in Thailand?

After driving for God knows how long, Vegas finally calmed down, He found himself on crossroad, he tried to find any board or milestone that can tell him where exactly he was. After driving for few minutes, he figured it was a nearby town in outskirts of Bangkok named Samut Prakan. and that named clicked something. Vegas hurriedly opened his car's dashboard and started searching until he found a visiting card he got almost a month ago from the doctor, which he later dropped carelessly in his dashboard storage.

he read the content on the card again and the address was of Samut Prakan.
