 Lam looked at Forth not pleased.

 " I'm just asking for a lawyer ," he protested.

 Forth smiled as Lam looked frowning at Earth.  Earth instead, looked at Lam with a look full of tenderness.  

 "Someone wants to kill me so I am forced to carry him everywhere. You can assume he is not there," said Forth.  

 Earth looked at Forth displeased while Lam looked at Forth in surprise.

 "Phi Phana?"  Lam asked worriedly.

 Forth nodded "this time I really got him in big trouble"

 Lam sighed and lowered his head. "Even a family like you can't get out of his anger. It won't be long before my turn will arrive"

 Forth and Earth were shocked.  Lam raised his face and looked at the two.

 "I hear Phana appreciates Seed's head quite high"

 "Uhm .. We are investigating whether there are odd transactions from the Phana people who are in prison" answered Earth.

 Lam looked at the cold Earth.  Earth looked away quickly.  Forth shook his head to see the attitude of both.

 "We don't have much Lam. Tell me what you want?"  Asked Forth frankly.

 Lam looked at the two men in front of him "I'll say what I know. As long as you guys can get me out of here" Lam explained.

 Lam's words surprised Forth and Earth.

 "All?"  Ask Earth not sure.  Lam nodded.

 "I'll talk to my Chief of Division. I'm sure there is a way to do it," Earth explained.

 "For the time being I will try to move you to a safer prison than here," said Forth.

 Lam looked at the two men in front of him and smiled.  His cellmate is right, it's nice to have someone who still believes him even though he's behind bars.

 "Thank you, Phi Earth," Lam said suddenly.  Earth was a little surprised.

 "For books and food" Lam added.  Earth smiled broadly.

 "If Nong Lam needs something, you can ask Phi and Phi will buy it for you"

 "No need. I've bothered Phi quite a lot," Lam replied, looking down.

 Forth watched both of them and shook his head "if you two need time to talk then I will give it" Said Forth while standing.  

 "No need," Lam said

 "Thank you," answered Earth.  

 Forth smiled at the reaction of the two.  He tapped Earth on the shoulder and walked to the chair in the corner, far from Lam and Earth.

 Lam became nervous when he was left alone with Earth.  Earth looked at Lam closely.

 "You look thinner," Earth said.  He tried to touch Lam's face but Lam moved backwards.

 Earth sighed.  He squeezed his fingers and looked at Lam.

 "Phi is serious when Phi says Phi will be waiting for you," said Earth.

 Lam looked closely at Earth.  To be honest he was so eager to walk towards Earth and hug him tightly but Lam knew himself.  His current position makes it impossible for him to think about love.  After all, Earth deserves a better person than him.  He is not only a man, Lam is sure both parents of Earth will oppose them, but he is also a spy.  The man whose hands are covered in blood.
