My Precious One

07 - Being Found

A man with a huge grin was seen walking on the street. He was holding a bag of foods and ingredients while humming a song. He was happily walking the street not knowing that something not right was happening in his house. He stopped walking on a crossing and waited for the "go" to cross the street. When he was safe to go, he started walking again but he just stepped three steps when a black Audi almost hit him. He stumbled on his feet and fell on his butt.

Off angrily stood up and pointed his finger at the car.

"Oii! Get your ass down here, you jerk! Didn't you see the traffic lights? You should have stopped your freaking car! You almost hit me, stupid! Get down in here!" he shouted angrily.

The driver's car door opened, revealing a tall man with tan skin. The man looked stressed with dark circles under his eyes. You could tell by looking at him that he didn't have any sleep on the previous night.

"I'm sorry, sir. I am thinking of something while driving and I didn't see the lights. I'm really sorry, sir," the stressed man apologized and bowed his head.

Off narrowed his eyes and looked at him. "He looks like a zombie. Maybe, he really didn't see the lights?" he thought. "He's lucky he didn't hit me or I'm going to sue him for sure."

"Fine! Since you didn't hit me, I'm not going to file a complaint," he said and dusted his pants.

The other man let out a sigh of relief, smiled and bowed again. "Thank you sir and again, I'm really sorry." He then turned around and Off heard him mumbling something like, "Where are you, Kit..."

"Wait! You're looking for someone?" Off suddenly inquired.

"Uhmm... yeah..." the other answered.

"A missing person?"

The other looked at him hesitantly before finally answering. "Yes. My younger brother is missing since yesterday. I've been looking for him since then. I already told the cops but they said we need to wait for 24 hours before they start their job." The poor man sighed in frustration and rubbed his face. "I can't wait that long. I don't know if my brother is safe. What if something bad happens to him? I can't take that! I need to find him and make sure that he's safe and unharmed."

Off could tell how dead worried the other man is. He is not a bad person and he knew that he could help him. Well, not really him but someone he knows.

"I know someone who could help you. He's awesome in finding missing persons and I'm sure he'll be able to find your brother."

The other looked at him is surprise. "R-really?"

Off smiled and nodded his head. "He'll come to my house today so you have to go with me. My name is Off by the way."

The other smiled wide and answered. "Mine is Singto. Thank you very much Khun Off. Let's use my car."

"Alright," Off answered and the two got in the car.

Off didn't know that the Kit that Singto is looking for is the Krist that he let to stay in his house.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Krist screamed and ran around the house while the man who just came so suddenly was chasing him.

"Oii oii oii! Stop running!!!" the shorter man shouted.

"Waaaaaaaa!!! I'm not going to stop! If I stop, you're going to hit me with that broom you are holding!"
