Every Breath You Take

A New Discovery (Kongpob)

So many people commented that I left the previous chapter on a cliffhanger.  I'm sorry I didn't intend it to be, I just thought it was a good place to stop.  Truthfully halfway through writing the chapter I switched POVs.  When I realized it I had to cut it into two chapters.  The picture reveal was in Kongpob's POV and held his emotions so I didn't want to change that.  Sorry for leaving you hanging but as a nice I'm updating first thing in the morning.

*********************************************************************************************

I've never really been into comics so this is probably the least interesting place for me right now. My Oon on the other hand, this must be heaven, even if he can't touch them. I can see that every now and then he gets distracted from why we're here but he quickly gets back to work. He and P'Dan start taking pictures, I assume of the bios.

I make my way over to my Pii not really paying attention when I bump into one of the cases. Ow that hurts, I can't believe I ran into a display case. It's not like it's small or moves. Shit, this really hurts. I'm rubbing that area trying to make the pain go away, then I lift my shirt and look at the darkening spot. Damn that's going to bruise. I look over at P'Arthit who has a stab wound and try to imagine how much more that must have hurt than simply running into a corner.

"Kongpob! Can you have one of your employees contact the girlfriend of your dead employee. I need to know if she also got an offer for a free tattoo." P'Arthit yells out.

"Wow, way to be blunt." Prem says.

I laugh at their banter. Like P'Prem has any room to talk. He probably would have found a more insulting way to say it. Something catches my eye and I look down. I recognize the picture. It's Top. I didn't realize that he went to our university. Did he know Toota back then? No that's not possible because he's three years younger than Toota was. He would have been a freshman during Toota's fourth year. He's really a good looking guy, I bet Toota was the talk of the town for having such a good looking boyfriend.

"Kong, come here for a minute." M says.

"What's up?" I ask as I walk closer to him.

"May says they found something interesting in photography." He says and we walk back to where the pictures were hanging.

"Kong, I think we need to find out who took this picture." May says pointing to a photo hanging on the wall.

"Why? What so impor...." I can't even finish my statement.

It's not a picture but a collage of pictures. All of my wife. They're all candids, not ones taken from year books or anything like that. I stare at them. Some of these pictures are really old, like from his childhood and then there are some from his fourth year in college and even some as a detective. Just how long has this person been following him? I'm transfixed. I can't make out a pattern or any kind of rhyme or reason, just picture on top of picture all of one subject.

"Holy fuck!" P'Bright yells and I spin to look at him.

"What the hell! When was that put up?" He demands pointing the picture out to the professor.

"I-I don't know. Photography isn't my department." She says a bit taken by surprise.

"WELL FIND OUT!" He roars gaining everyone's attention.

She scurries off while the hazers make their way to P'Bright who is practically shaking in anger. P'Arthit, P'Knott, and P'Prem have reached P'Bright and turn to look at the photo.

"Fuck." P'Knott whispers out.

I start walking towards them wondering what has gotten P'Bright so worked up.
