P'Prem was staring at me and Kao back and forth. We were sitting in front of him in his office. He narrowed his eyes at me when he scanned the red marks and the band aids on our noses. We both were silent and he kept watching us.

"Can anybody explain?" He finally asked and we both looked at him but we still were silent.

"Pete," he completely regarded me.

"What?" I frowned.

"What is this all?" I felt like him accusing me. Well most of it was my fault. But still I didn't like his stare at me.

"Yesterday night we had a fight with a thief P." I heard Kao answering.

We both looked at him and he smiled brightly at P'Prem, nodding.

I shrugged when P'Prem turned to me again.

I saw P sighing before leaning forward on that table.

"So, Pete, Kao said you want your ID back."

I looked at P'Prem before glancing a smiling Kao.

I didn't reply but nodded.

"So, you are in." That was mostly a question and I had to nodd again.

"So, you two are ready to work together "

"I'm ready Sir." I heard Kao saying.

"Only if I don't have work under him."

"You don't worry. You don't have to be under me if you don't want. I can do both ways. I'm flexible."

I gaped  at Kao when I heard him. What the f*ck he just said?!!!!

He grinned with a wink just before shrugging.

"Ahm... Kao," that was a warning call from P'Prem and I saw Kao frowning innocently at him.

"Can we just discuss about the case?" P'Prem asked and we both nodded.

"Kao," P'Prem looked at Kao and he opened a file. He placed in on the table.

"I were doing undercover for this case for almost One month."

"Why that Bar?" It was P'Prem"

"The first murder was at a pool of a resort, the second one was at a house, the third one was at a railway station toilet...."

I saw Kao sighing before continue.

"....And the last one was at a foot path. All of our victims were gay and these whole locations were so close to this bar."

"You think these murders have something to do with that bar?" P'Prem interrupted Kao.

"I think so Sir. Even Pete also felt that. Isn't Pete?"

He looked at me for an answer. That was true. I also felt that way.

I nodded at them.

"We have nothing to connect these murders other than the notes he left."  P'Prem stated.

"There is no connection between these victims. They all are in differen ages. The first one was 26, second one was 42 , third one was 20 and the fourth one was just 19. They weren't friends or we don't have any proof of that. But something is invisibly connecting them." Kao said.

"They were gay. That is the only common thing about them." P'Prem said.

"You are saying he is doing a random hunt?" Kao asked.

"Maybe." I finally decided to join them. They both looked at me.

"Or Maybe not. This guy, the killer, he want to say something. He is leaving these notes behind his every kill because he want attention. He want us to know. He want us to search for him. He want to tell us something." I completed.

"'Yumraj' means 'The king of death'.... So what he want to convey through that ?" P'Prem curiously looked at me.

"That we don't know yet.Mostly these types of killers are..."

"Pure Psyco's" Kao completed my sentence and I nodded at him in agreement before I spoke again.

"There is two possibilities. One, he is killing for his entertainment. He kills these random gay guys just for fun. And the second..."

"He is killing them for a purpose. If it is the case then there must be something that connecting these people. There must be a common fact."

Kao once again completed my words and honestly I was impressed and I nodded at him again.

"We don't have any evidence of their connection. The first victim was a Dance master, second one was a Doctor, the third one was a collage student and the fourth one was a school boy. Until we don't get any connecting facts, I think we have to stick with that first possibility." P'Prem said.

"No!" Me and Kao said in unison. We both look at each other and we turned to see a frowning P'Prem.

"My heart says Something is really there that connecting these whole people." Kao leaned forward to that table.

"We need valid evidence Kao not what your heart said." P'Prem shrugged at Kao.

"That's what we need to find." I shrugged at P.

"Why are you both being so stubborn to this second possibility?" P'Prem wondered.

Me and Kao both looked at each other and Kao shrugged "Maybe we trust our hearts."

I rolled my eyes at him.

"Okay, We will try to find that common fact. If we could find that out, maybe we can find him and stop him very fast. Or If this is all are a random hunt then, catching him will be difficult." I leaned forward.

P'Prem nodded at us.

"So, Kao, are you continuing your undercover mission?"

"Yes, Sir. I have my doubts on some guys. But I need to find out more stuffs. I need a little more time." Kao said.

"I hope Tim can find it out soon because we are running out of time Kao." P'Prem said to Kao.

Kao nodded "I know."

"Pete," P regarded me.

"I hope you can do this. I hope you won't disappoint me."

I didn't answer. I just stared at him lazily but I was thinking seriously inside 'How come this man my father's brother?'"

"Ahm... He won't Sir. Let me handle him." I heard Kao and this time he really got a glare from me.

"I'm not a insane and I can handle myself pretty well. Leave this case to me only if you trust me." I stood up and regarded P'Prem.

"I do." P'Prem said after staring at me for a second.

He placed my ID kn that table and I grabbed it.

"You know having that in your Jacket's pocket is a big responsibility. Drinking all the time and....."

I stormed out of that room before P can finish his sentence. I hate his speeches. I hate when people call me a drunken ass. Am I ? Maybe s little but not really a pretty bad drunken ass.

"Where the hell are you going?" I heard Kao and I turned to see him running after me.

He was panting when he stood in front of me.

"So, Partners?" He extended his hand for a shake hand with a friendly smile.

I was considering it inside my brine but that's when that assh*ol said that with that evil grin.

"Trust me I'm more than anything you need right now."
