The next morning

I woke up on the floor. The sunlight poured through the curtains and it would've looked beautiful if this was a normal morning. A morning where I would wake up and no matter how late I am, I would stay in bed until Fourth wakes up. A morning where I would pretend to be asleep when he wakes up and stares at my face. A morning where I would cook him breakfast or he would cook me breakfast.

But today was not like that. Fourth himself was gone.

Slowly, I get up from the floor and walk towards the restroom.

My face was stained with dried tears and with a heavy heart, I wash them away.

I heard some chattering coming from the kitchen and my heart started beating fast. Was it Fourth?

No. It was Ohm and Mark arguing about who will make breakfast.

I flopped on the couch next to Joong and lean my head against his shoulder.

"What should we do?" I ask, my voice slightly trembling.

I was never an emotional person. I never allowed myself to be vulnerable because I thought it would make me look weak. But here I am.

"We'll find him. Fourth is okay"

"Breakfast is ready" Mark entered the living room. Nodding, we both get up from the couch and head towards the dining table.

Breakfast was served and we all took a seat. The silence that followed after a brief "Thank you" was stretching. Until Ohm decided to speak.

"What are we gonna do?" He asks, not looking up from his plate.

"I don't know..." I say, playing with my food.

Suddenly, the investigation came to mind.

"Ohm, tell me everything about you and Fourth's investigation"

He sighs, putting down his utensils and looking directly at me.

He tells me everything.

"So....he went to the forest to find his sister? That means, the name of the person who killed Ploy is in that registration copy? So by chance, if we could find out who killed Ploy, we can find out where Fourth is"

"Exactly!" Ohm jumps up from his seat

"Should we go right now?" He continues with excitement.

Before I can even say anything, Mark pulls him down and he flops on the chair, shooting an angry glare at Mark.

"Eat first. You two will die if you act like that. Fourth wants you two to be healthy!" Mark scolded and I couldn't argue. Its true. Fourth would want us to be healthy. He is probably thinking about us more than himself.

But, me and Ohm barely ate.

Approximately 20 minutes after that conversation, we were already in my car, ready to go.

Task 1: Find out whose name was written on the registration copy.

The ancient red and golden interior of the hotel came into view as we pulled up infront of it.

As soon as we entered the hotel, a lady came holding a tray of cold towels.

"Welcome sir, would you like..." She trailed off awkwardly behind us as we completely ignored her and went to the reception.

Thankfully the reception was empty. But the main lobby wasn't. So whatever we do, we cannot let out anger and frustration take over and start a chaos.

"Welcome back to Paradise hotel. How may I help you?" The receptionist said.

"Glad you remember me. Now, as you know, the guy I was looking for is investigating a murder case. Now, we just want your 2019 registration copy. Hand it to us and we won't make a scene" Gulping and with trembling hands, the boy took out the copy and handed it to us.

Flashing my best fake smile, I take the copy and flip through the pages.

After a while, I finally found the name. Ploy Jirochtikul

"Bingo" I mumbled under my breath.

Ohm leaned forward and his eyes widen.

"Prim? No way!"

I close the copy and return it to the receptionist.

"Joong, prepare my laptop"

We make it back to the car and I take my work laptop. Thankfully, I told Joong to bring my work essentials with him. Now, I can work without going back to my office.

"What are you doing?" Ohm asks

I don't reply him. Instead, Mark pulls him back, "Let him do his work"

After a while of going through Ploy's life data, Prim's family data and inserting virus into Prim's mobile, I shut my computer and start the engine.

"We are going to Prim's house tomorrow at 8 pm sharp. Be ready cuz we will be leaving at 7:50" I announce and Joong, Mark nods without questioning.

"Wait, how did you find out where Prim stays" Ohm asks, probably dumb-founded. Probably scared.

Mark chuckles, wrapping an arm around Ohm's shoulder and pulling his close.

"Mafia secret, baby. He probably knows where you live too. Not only you, but probably your whole family too"

Ohm looks terrified. I would've laughed or find it funny but with a huge piece of my life gone, I don't feel anything other anger and sadness.

Without another word, I drive them back to their condos. Ohm didn't even have to tell me his address. I suddenly pulled up infront of his condo building and he was shocked. But eventually thanked us and went his way.

After them, I was on my way back to Fourth's house, probably gonna curl up in bed or the floor and cry until I fall asleep.
