Assassin

10.

I could feel a faint thumping at regular intervals more intensified on my wrists, giving me hints of my still alive body. I heard faint whispers and tried to move myself a little when a bone breaking pain seared through my vein all along my wrist.

I know realised that my hands weren't free they were tied behind and the intensity of the pain could tell that it had been quite sometime. Enough for only slight amount of blood to move. I opened my eyes only to witness an unfamiliar room with quite a few people.

I flickered my eyes trying to adjust my vision to the eerie red ambience of the room. I tried to focus on the faces of the people infront of me and a when I noticed the familiar handsome face of the man who was hunting me next to him stood the same guy that I fought with in the morning outside the motel.

I didn't lie when I said I was one heck of an unfortunate person. All I actually have in my destiny is hardships and pain. While Porsche wished for me to find a lover and have a happy life. Here I ended up being stuck at the mercy of this devil.

"Khun Vegas", a faint voice left my sore throat before I could prevent it. He turned to look at me I noticed the star badge in his hands. So they found it now they will think that I was sent by the Russians atleast half of my job was done.
I was in deep thoughts when his deep voice took all my attention.
"Yes sweetheart were you expecting someone else", he said and made a pitying face.

"Bad news the only face you see till you die is this ", he said pointing towards his face.

His sinister smirk is enough to make me feel like my end is close. But I'll fight I'll fight till the end. I cannot die here I will have to bear it all and walk out alive for my grandmother I can't disappoint her. The news of my death would break her and I can't let that happen.

My determination to survive is I know all that I have to defend myself here. I might break here, hurt here but I will survive . With all the courage I gathered I looked him in the eye. Willing to bare whatever comes my way.

I guess he didn't like me giving him the look of I wouldn't give in. He harshly walked towards me and grabbed my hair and pulled it up. Making me look up where he stood tall infront of my sitting figure and without a word punched me. The punch was hard but what hurted more was the ring that collided with my cheekbone before his fist did.

That punch further more cleared the slightest bit of unconsciousness that was left. I felt a bitter metal taste and knew that his punch had busted my inner side of the cheek. The warm fluid slowly oozed down my face until it trickled down the tip of the chin staining my tee.

I looked back at him with the same intensity. "You know the question so just answer don't test my patience ", he said. The grip on my hair grew painfully firm making me slightly wince.

I couldn't decide what was hurting more my zip tied hands or him pulling my hair but all I could feel was pain. "Give me the damn answer", he yelled loosing the last bit of control he landed punch after punch on the left side of my face. Initially it was hurting until the pain grew numbing and I could hardly feel anything anymore. I knew I couldn't open my mouth at a situation like this. And I could only speak if he stops landing punches on me like a maniac.

He finally paused after I don't know how many punches I lost my count at the seventh one. "Answer or I'll pull out your eye balls I swear", he said and withdrew himself from my proximity. He did a slow walk around the room finally coming close to with an evil laugh. He wiped a few drops of blood stains from his face and said, " Your owner wouldn't come to save you, you know that right so why are you trying to save him",he said with a domineering expression but I could feel the underlying frustration in his voice.

"Pete", he called out and without too much thought I raised my head to meet his gaze and a smirk slowly formed on his.

Shit! shit !!!shit!
I screamed in my head realising the foolish mistake I did. I gave him my real name it would just make its so much easier for him to dig into my past but I guess he would look for a person named pete who's associated with Russians so maybe he won't learn my true identity.

What he said next made me even loose the last bit of positive hope that I had. "You are an underlying of Pattaya's Thithiphom family right", if I was shocked before I was baffled now. Hearing the name of Thithiphom family made me realise that I wasn't dealing with some ordinary target. This time my target was one heck of a tough nut to crack, but why would I need crack , I have to kill him. So that makes it a hard nut to kill this actually doesn't sounds right but.
Uff Pete you'll be doomed if you don't stop running your head over nonsense my logical concious screamed at me.

What should I do now think of it should I refuse. If I do maybe he'll think I am trying to protect which I actually am but I can't give in that.
Before I could reach to a conclusion or device a plan to solve the issue his voice echoed in the dirty room.

"Who is it Vayu or khun Metha", he questioned and I couldn't think of what to say. But I'll have to do something or else he would harm the Thithiphom family though I don't like this work but I am loyal to them I can't let my foolishness harm them. Pete think something.

Come on brain work please, work a little faster I said in my head.

"Don't answer it's not like I can't kill of them. So now because of you the head and the heir of Thithiphom family will die and I swear you'll be witnessing all live ", he looked like he is serious. Ofcourse he is serious. He left me and started walking towards the exit. A guard opened the metal door that made cranky sound filling the peace of the atmosphere.

"It's neither of them ", I screamed ahhhhhhh I guess I put in too much of pressure I felt stinging pain it was hard to speak any further. He walked back to me. "Then who ", he asked aggressively. I didn't utter a word and he decided to lay another punch on my injury.

As soon as his fist collided with my skin a brilliant idea struck me and I decided to go for it. When my face turned due the impact I let my head hang down low. And pretend like I have lost my concious. Yes this wouldn't help much but definitely will buy me some time to come with some good plan.

He shook me and it started to hurt all over my body. I don't know for how long I have been tied here that whole of my body muscles ache to death. "Pete come on wake up", he called out again slightly tapping on my non injured side of the face.
"Joe water",he said and right after that a cool drops of water hitting my face harshly. A few of them got on the open wound and I could feel the burning session.

When I didn't wake up after all his efforts he left me the warmth of his palm that layed on my cheek was removed. "Joe treat him. I want him concious as soon as possible. And untie him as well", he ordered in his authoritive voice and I felt his soul hitting the ground as he moved ahead and slowly slowly the noise grew faint. Thank God he left.
