Rrinkers

Chapter 21

"I'm going to fucking kill them all!" Thanat threw the remote control at the TV, shattering the screen and making it go black. "I'm gonna make them suffer so bad, they will beg me to kill them." He walked over to his desk and angrily threw everything off of it in a fit of rage. When that was done, he turned the table upside down.

"Do you know who it was?" George, his right hand man, asked.

"That's what I pay you to fucking find out."

"Well...according to this news report," George pulled out a piece of paper from the Carlow Times from his jacket, "it claims that Emmanuel Redford's son was part of the FBI team that helped take it down. Apparently he didn't know that his father was a part of it." The journal knew what would make a selling story and what better story than a millionaire FBI who caught his millionaire father in a drug investigation.

Thanat yanked the paper and looked at it. On it were two pictures: one of Lucas on the right and Emmanuel on the left, with the title Son Arrests Father in Drug Investigation.

There was no amount of words to describe the rage that Thanat was feeling. It would be the same fury anyone would feel when they had a huge chunk of their livelihood taken away from them overnight. All the things he spent years planning, all the money he could've gotten, were gone in the blink of an eye. It was a suffocating feeling, enough to make Thanat twitch with anger. He often found himself not being able to control his anger or his evil ways and he got better when he tortured others or even killed them. This was more than enough grounds, in Thanat's eyes, to execute someone. Or even make them suffer a terrible fate. It was the only thing that would calm him down so he didn't have the urge to blow up the entire city.

"What do we know about Lucas Redford?"

"Not much, he's an FBI agent, playboy, typical millionaire."

"We need to find out what the best way to hurt him is. Once we get to him, we can get to the other people who worked on the investigation so I will kill them and their entire family. Right now, let's start with making Lucas suffer, even worse than his invalid father. He is just as stupid as Emmanuel."

"What are we gonna do with him?"

"We're gonna make his life hell."

A flashback of when he was younger flashed in Thanat's mind. It was of his kidnappers molesting him, just like they always did without much thought. He was taken away from his loving family too soon. There was also another flashback of those same kidnappers beating him until he was almost dead. Just thinking about it made him want to jump off a cliff to make it stop. Thanat was bent on making the lives of those who hurt him hell. He didn't tolerate anyone hurting him, in any way. Torturing his kidnappers and then burning them alive was proof of that.

"I'm gonna kill them all," Thanat added. "Starting with Lucas Redford."

Lucas unfolded the white paper. How many times he read it, he didn't know because he lost count. It was hard to stop reading it.

When he got home last night, John had given him the note from Zoe, and he spent the following morning looking at it. Now it was almost noon. And he had to get to the site soon. A strange feeling of bliss, joy, and pride overcame him everytime he read it, and he didn't know where this feeling came from, but he didn't want it to go away, especially the way it intoxicated him and brought a giddy, euphoric vibe to his entire body.

What am I feeling? Why am I feeling like this?

He'd never felt like this in his entire life. Probably because he could get every woman in a blink of an eye. But not Zoe. She didn't care that he was a millionaire or handsome, she cared that he was good. That also was enough to make him feel alive and euphoric. He was starting to think there was something wrong with him, but that thought went away quickly when he confirmed the feeling was too blissful to be harmful.
