Beyond the Badge

Chapter 5

Ohm returned to the police station with a heavy heart. He still couldn't believe his ears. Nanon didn't feel safe with him, the one whom he tried to protect every second since they met. Ohm felt defeated.

The inspector had thought after his father's death nothing could hurt him anymore. But he didn't realise how and when Nanon, an unknown boy, got the power to affect Ohm Pawat Chitsawangdee. 

Meanwhile, in the rescue home, everyone started looking at the new boy with curiosity. They wanted to know where the boy was rescued from, what his identity was, and how he got into the situation that led him to this place. 

The first person who inquired about Nanon was his roommate. He tried to ask Nanon directly, yet in a friendly manner as if he wanted the new boy to get along with the residents of the home easily. Nanon, without knowing his real intention, gave all the answers honestly and even missed the mischievous glance in the eyes of the boy as well.

But something strange he experienced while having lunch together with all of the rescued victims living in the home. Some of the boys were trying to be over-friendly with Nanon; they even tried to touch his face or hold hands, whereas some were staring at him weirdly as if scanning him head to toe and judging him.

Nanon decided not to focus on this and finish his meal as quickly as he could. He understood it was not going to be easy to live with them, but he would eventually survive; he had to. All he needed was to learn to ignore these creepy guys. It was a relief for the boy that at least Ohm would not lose his job because of him.

After finishing his lunch, Nanon tried to rest in his room without paying much attention to his roommate, who had been missing since lunch. His roommate rushed to their room when Nanon was about to leave for his dinner.

“Hey, Nanon! Come with me.” the boy said. When Nanon asked where he was asking to come, the boy told him that some of the residents of the home had arranged a special dinner to welcome Nanon to their family. Although Nanon was taken aback at first as he remembered the creepy gazes he had during lunch, this little gesture of the unknown people filled his heart with warmth. 

As Nanon entered the room, he could only see a bed and a few chairs, along with some beer cans scattered here and there. He immediately realised that he should have not ignored his intuition. 

“Log, now go back to your work.” One of the men present in the room instructed the boy who brought Nanon there. Nanon's roommate, Log sat down on his knees before the man in front of him, who started unbuckling his pants and taking off his briefs for the boy to take his manhood in his mouth.

Nanon was terrified to witness this and wanted to escape immediately but was blocked by two men. 

“Let-let me go please,” Nanon tried to push them away but to no avail.

“What do you think, we don't know where you were rescued from?” A voice came behind the two persons standing in front of the petrified boy. The men moved away from Nanon's sight as the owner of the voice appeared. 

The man approached Nanon and within a fraction of a second, he was thrown on the bed. Despite Nanon's pleading the man proceeded further.

The felon held Nanon’s chin and started speaking, “Beg new boy, I love to hear sweet cries until I stop them with my di-” Before he could voice his intention, Nanon bit his fingers, which forcefully entered his mouth.

“Don’t touch me, you fucker!!” Nanon shouted, anger filled in his eyes.

A slap landed on his face before the man hovered over him. “You slut! How dare you!!”

Nanon used all his force to push the man off him but he was pushed down on the bed instead. 

“I’m not a slut! Got it? I’m not a whore, not a slut!” He shouted his lungs out kicking the man.
