Chapter 4
Alice, Aim, and Id walked to their computer room, or what's left of it. All of the screens were shot but not the main one. They took it off and hooked it to the TV. It showed clips of the invasion, and killing. Aim couldn't take it no longer and shot the TV with her hand gun. Alice hugged her sister and cried as well.
Id: What is going on here?
Aim: Don't you know?! My father has been killed and my sister is kidnapped!! Just leave! Leave!
He ran out and got into his car. Aim, and Alice went to see their dad and knelt beneath him.
Aim: Khun Paw.
Alice fell to her knees as she cried some more. The two sisters cleaned the house and dressed their dad in his white wedding tux. He rest peacefully on his bed.
Alice: So, funeral?
Aim: Kah. Funeral.
Aim and Alice spent all night planning a funeral and inviting their closest friends and family members. The funeral was tomorrow at night. The girls had their servants, or most that's still alive, clean the now empty camera room and put their dad's casket in there. Then they set up the chairs, monk stage, a picture of their dad and the servant Som, and the place where they would light a stick and make a wish. The monks arrived and got into their place. Id's family arrived and rushed to Aim.
I. Mom: Nu Aim! Is this why you had to leave last time?
Aim managed to spit a word out.
Aim: Kah.
I. Mom pulled her in and hugged her. Aim cried again, because in the first time out of a long time, she had the comfort of a mother.
Alice: P'Aim. P'Tawan and Lung Kong is here.
Hearing P'Tawan, Id got kind of jealous. Aim walked over to her uncle and her cousin.
Tawan: N'Aim.
Aim: P'Tawan!
She ran and hugged him along with Alice. The three embraced for a very long time until Tawan let go.
Kong: Nu Aim. I know this is hard for you, P'Thep, was your father. But it's also hard for me. He was my brother.
Aim: I get it Khun Lung.
Kong: He will always be with us Nu. Come on lets take a seat.
The family took a seat and prayed. The monks chanted as Aim and Alice look back to what their father said. To find P'Dao. The two looked at each other and knew what the other was thinking. A mission. After the funeral, Aim took a walk outside but was followed by Id.
Id: Hey, I'm really sorry about your father.
Aim: Thank you.
Id: If you don't mind me asking, who was that Tawan guy? I don't really care. I just. Who was he?
Aim gave him a are-you-kidding look.
Aim: He's my cousin.
Id: Oh, oh nice.
Aim: I consider him kind of like my older brother though.
Id: Yeah. Well, my mother is leaving I should go.
Aim: Kah. Sawdee. Wait.
Id: Krup?
Aim: Your father? He didn't come?
Id: Yeah. He wanted to come but,
Aim: Sindy.
Id: Krup, well bye.
He left Aim starring at the stars alone. When everyone was gone, Alice went to Aim.
Aim: Ready?
Alice: Ready.
The cleared the kitchen table, by that, I mean they knocked everything down, the glass vase, cups and coasters. Alice brought her computer, USB drives, and cables. Aim took out a duffel bag and started to sort out her guns and arrows and daggers. She reloaded the amo in all her guns and packed more bullets. She grabbed her crossbow and packed it in there too. Then came the Thaitsuki Hihonto Hoso Kumiage Katana. Instead of packing that too, she held it. Alice packed hers and Aim's clothes in another duffel bag. After putting the bags in their truck, Aim went back inside.
Alice: We're not leaving tonight?
Aim: No.
Aim walked to Som's room.
Aim: Thank you, Mae Som. For caring for me when I was a child. I will avenge for you and Khun Paw.
After that, the girls went to sleep. When Aim can't seem to go to sleep, she went down to get a drink of water. While she was drinking, she heard some kind of beeping sounds. She checked in the fridge and found a bomb. It needed 2 minutes more until it went off. She rushed to Alice and woke her up.
Aim: Alice! Alice! Wake up!
Alice: Alai??
Aim: There's a bomb.
Hearing that, Aim got up and went to the courtyard where the car they were gonna take was.
Aim: Wait!
Alice: P'Aim!
Aim: Go! Drive at lease 2 miles away from here!! Now!
She had forgotten the Katana and the pictures. She rushed inside to grab it. But, the bomb was now 30 second. Aim found her hook belt and fastened it on. She clicked the button and it hooked to the ceiling. Then, she threw something hard to the window, breaking it, allowing her to jump out. When she was on the ground she ran to the car. Alice got out and screamed. The servants were still in the house. 3,2,1. BOOM! The bomb was so powerful, it blew Aim off the ground and made her fly to Alice's feet.
Alice: P'Aim!
Aim: Get in the car! Now!
The two girls got in and drove off.
Aim: When we were in the house, we couldn't find P'Dao's cellphone right?
Alice: Kah.
Aim: Well, Khun Paw always inserted tracking devices in our phones. See if you can trace where P'Dao's phone is at and where it's heading.
Alice typed in her computer and was shocked.
Aim: Well?
Alice: Korea. They're taking her to Korea.
Aim: Well, then that's where we're going. And she sped off to the nearest airport.
Alice: Wait, we have to think about this first.
Aim: We can't go back there Lic.
Alice: I mean find a place first and then talk about it. We can't just declare we're going to Korea. We need a plan. How to get her back?
Aim: Dai.
And she turned back and drove to the girl's condo.
In the morning when Id's family and Sindy was eating breakfast, the news was on.
News Lady: Just last night, a devastating event has taken place. The home of the well known Sir Thepikon Lekorm was bombed down.
Id and his mom stopped eating and looked up.
Id: Hey, turn on the volume.
News Lady: Some nearby neighbors witnessed the explosions and here they are to give some feedback.
Random Neighbor: I was asleep with my wife and all of a sudden I hear this bomb go off so I rushed outside to see what it was. And I see Khun Sir Thep's house all destroyed.
Many more neighbors talked and expressed their emotions.
News Lady: Sadly, there are no survivors. NCT News, Bangkok Thailand.
I. Mom: Oh dear.
She started to feel faint. Id was, devastated. Khun Aim and Khun Alice gone.
Alice and Aim was watching the same news at the cafe. They were weearing sunglasses as disguise but that wasn't enough.
Alice: We need new disguises.
Aim: Relax. I saw a costume store just 5 miles back. We'll go there.
After they paid and left, they drove to the costume shop. Aim picked out a dirty blonde wavy wig with nerdy glasses. Alice, she picked out a red wig with bangs and rock star sunglasses. When they were done, they were on their way to the condo, which was in Pattaya.
Alice: So what's our plan?
Aim: Well, I've decided that we're just going to drive there.
Alice: Drive the whole 2,228 miles??
Aim: That's our only choice if we want to bring the weapons along with us.
Alice: Well. Then what? What are we going to do with P'Dao and the killer?
Aim: That I have not yet planned.
They got to their condo and rested for a while. At 9 PM, Aim unfolded a map and started to discuss the route they were going to take.
Aim: Okay. The whole distance from here, Pattaya, to Kunming China, is only 633 miles. Now, from Kunming to Korea, it's another 1,718 miles.
Alice: So, what do you want to do? Rest in Kunming for a day and then head off at night?
Aim: That's also a suggestion.
Alice: What the other choice is to drive the whole 2,228 miles??
Aim: That's only a whole day and possibly 8 hours.
Alice: Can't we just do what I said?
Aim: Lic. We don't have a choice. We don't know what dad's enemy wants or why he kidnapped P'Dao. We have to drive the whole 2,228 miles and get there.
Alice: Fine. When do we leave?
Aim: Tomorrow night. Be ready.
Alice: Fine.
Id was starring depressingly out his window. His mom came in and comforted him.
I. Mom: What's wrong nah Lu?
Id: She's gone Khun Mae.
I. Mom: I know honey.
Id: I can't believe she is. Who would want to do something like that.
I. Mom: From what I believe, it has to be the same person who killed her father.
Id: Must be. But Khun Mae.
I. Mom: You're too stressed out from this. Take a vacation or something. Go to Pattaya or China, or Korea. Anything to ease off your mind.
Id: You know what? Khun Gaan is in Korea right now. I think I'm going to go see her.
I. Mom: That's the spirit Lu.
Id: I have a car there, I just need to call the guy and bring it to the airport.
I. Mom: When will you leave?
Id: Well, I'm going to book a flight right now.
He checked online to book for a flight.
Id: Well, the next flight is tomorrow night. I guess I'll go tomorrow night then.
I. Mom: Dee. I'll help you pack nah?
Id: Krup. Khun Mae.
