Worlds Apart

Chapter 6: Found and Lost

WP-2

It was a week after they had deemed Prapai as close to his other self in terms of combat and shooting that they had laid down the plans for the raid.

"Here." Venice handed him an earpiece which he took and placed into his left ear.

"Nervous?" This time it was Porsche that asked.

"A bit, but I'm more concerned for my friend than myself." Pai answered before smiling at the man. Porsche wasn't really supposed to be in the operations but the man insisted since Prapai was in on it as well.

"We'll be leaving in five minutes everyone." Kim said through their comms.

"Arm everything ready?" This time it was Kinn's voice.

"Yes Khun, everyone is accounted for. All locations are live." Arm replied as confirmation.

"I'll take my bike with me." Prapai stated, getting various stares. They still really haven't talked about the incident much aside from who was chasing him that night.

"Then I'll take mine as well." Venice seconded.

"Fine." It was Pete who approved because he knew Porsche wasn't really keen on letting Prapai ride a bike again so soon.

It was night time that they decided to attack. According to the source, the Mansion was actually more of an auction house for human trafficking, and tonight was one of those nights that they are holding one such occasion.

Kim had managed to get two invitations which Prapai volunteered to be one which in turn made Venice the other participant.

It was an anonymous auction event, all guests were to wear masks.

When he and Venice came close to the Mansion they stopped at a small stall which served as their mini base, where they changed into formal suits and took their respective masks.

They went to one of their family's cars and proceeded on entering the Mansion.

It looked normal really, it just looked like there was a major party happening. They sat on their designated seats and waited for the actual auction to start.

The auction started with a mini program meant to entertain their guests. It would have been entertaining indeed if only the performers weren't chained and collared.

'They're treating them like animals!' Prapai almost lost his cool when Rain actually went on stage and started singing in a small voice at first until his voice came out properly. He was visibly shaking but his eyes that were lifeless were now full with rage. He looked furious.

"That one won't be sold tonight as well. He had always been the defiant one." Pai heard one of the guests say.

"Yes, even the one that the Boss's son fancies is a feisty one. I think they've been here for only a little over a month, maybe two?" Another voice said this time it came from one of what seemed to be bodyguards.

"He would have been a pretty one if it wasn't for his rebellious attitude." Pai wanted to kick the men speaking badly of his friend but he held it in.

When he looked at Venice he noticed Venice wasn't really hearing what the others were talking about. His eyes were fixated on stage.

'Oh?' Pai found it amusing even in this situation. Venice's eyes looked exactly like Phayu's when looking at Rain.

"That's Rain by the way." Pai whispered to Venice which made the other startled a bit. Not realizing he'd been staring at the boy in front of them. He had seen the boy 'Rain', but in the photo he looked lifeless, but here in front of him now, he looked alive albeit looking furious.
