Pete ~

I finally managed to escape but my return to Pattaya would mean I failed. I can't leave for Pattaya without completing my task.
All my achievements and hardwork in these two years would go to waste and I'll be punished for failing the task. I can't take that disgrace and humiliation after all I have worked hard to walk my way up till here.

But it's true I was distracted I wasn't in my right senses. That has never happened before. Was I drugged but how could he I never gave him the opportunity to do so. Maybe the alcohol he ordered for me was too strong for me to handle. Stupid Pete why did you accept that drink. Just two sips of the drink down my throat and now,I can literally feel the sword hanging over my head. One wrong move and I done. These people won't budge nor regret killing me.

How stupid can I be. Whatever, now I need to find my way out of this situation and the only possible thing to do is kill him. I was supposed to leave today but I won't.
I'll meet Porsche spend some time with him and then make a plan on how to get hold of Vegas.

I took a shower and decided to take rest. It was restless night weird thoughts kept hindering my sleep. But then I heard something strange and my reflexes were back to working with full efficiency I heard footsteps. Too many footsteps that couldn't be of other guests here because there were hardly any guests. And men from Pattaya who were coming for me wouldn't come without informing.

These are footsteps of well trained gaurds that I am damn sure of but how can they get here. Damn this life I can't even have a single night of peaceful sleep. Reached out to look at my phone. It beamed 7:14 am. Ohh so it's not that early it's me who had a late night. Keeping all these stupid thoughts aside I fumbled through my items too look for all my weapons and dress up decently I can't walk out in just my shorts and nothing more.

I looked outside the creaky old window to find almost fifteen men dressed in all black formals with guns in there hands, surrounding the motel I had to leave as soon as possible. I took one of the smoke bombs that I had in my backpack and carefully left the room. I sneakily walked down the stairs only to find a guard standing at the end of the staircase. Taking my chance without him noticing me I jabbed at him from behind tucking his throat in a tight grip. Finally making the lock he fell unconscious and that's how one man was down without any sound. I noticed a man through the side window that gave clear view of the alley next to the motel. Where his men were waiting while he talked to someone on phone.

Most probably he would be happily announcing that he has caught me to his boss. But poor him he won't get any reward for the good job because there's no way he will be able to get me. I decided to throw the smoke bomb through the window but I guess that would make them notice me too. But who cares. I waited for him to end the call when he did, he turned to other guards gave them command and then stood still.

Now is the right time I slightly opened the window and threw the smoke bomb outside. I could hear their voices when I ran my through the central area crossing the reception and finally taking the exist. Smoke bomb could only help me this much as most of the smoke drifted away. Without another thought I ran only to come face to face with the guy I saw earlier on phone. He tried to punch me I swiftly dodged it and landed one on his midriff. He growled but landed another punch through my face immediately.

We had a hand to hand combat for god knows how long but neither of us was ready to give. Somewhere through the scuffle he landed blows and me and I landed on him too but you couldn't say who was stronger as we gave each other tough fight. With the corner of my eyes I noticed all most all the men getting back to sense just a few coughing here there. I can't waste anymore time on this brawl I need to escape rather than proving my strength. I took a blow intentionally and when he internally started to celebrate that I jabbed with my palm right under his right ear making him fall unconscious with a thump.

Other men started to attack me I dodged a few but having no choice fought with most of them. One of them aimed a gun at me but I threw my switchblade piercing his arm making him loose his grip on the gun. I kept fighting and when most of them lay brawling in pain I decided to leave I picked up my switchblade cleaned it with my handkerchief and tugged it back on my pocket and walked away.

I was walking on the main streat now and knew it wasn't actually safe since I already had men trailing behind to kill me. I decided to take a taxi and directed him to talk me to my favourite breakfast spot in Bangkok. It was on the very lane that I used to live when I was here in Bangkok. I used to have my breakfast here on my way to college. Phi Joy made the best khanom krok in the world.

(Khanom krok  is a coconut rice pancake it's a sweet dish but not too much sweet. It's crispy on the outside and custardy on the inside.
Here's a reference image for you all)

I wonder if she remembers me as I watched her serving the pancakes to her customers most of them were college or high school students. This is so nostalgic being back here to people who were a part of my that life that I wished to go back everyday.

"Phi Joy", I said in an excited tone. She turned around casually I guess she didn't recognise me or maybe my voice. But a while later her face brightened up with a warm smile. "Nong Pete",she called out raising her arm and gave me a hug. I hugged her back.

She pulled back and excitedly threw questions at me one after another even before I could answer the previous one. Most of them were about my where abouts and well being a few complaints of where I suddenly disappeared and never returned. We had a conversation for a while I also helped her with her customers since she was quite busy this early serving all the kids and students of the neighbourhood .

She also gave me my favourite khanom krok with rose and nuts dips. It tasted just like before. I left after a while. Thinking of what to do next since I don't have anywhere to stay nor can I return Pattaya just yet.

I had to meet Porsche at 4 but it was only 11 now I had to pass time for next five hours. I couldn't go to places that those people would expect me to go. So the place I must go should be the least expected one.

I went to gaming zone nearby that was mine and Porsche's usual hangout spot after a hectic day at college we spent hours here. I could do that today as well. I had a hectic life these two years no fun, no friend only work and work. Felt like I lost most of my human traits working here like an animal indeed. No thoughts, no feelings only following the command like a robot.
