Chapter 7 | Bullets; forced to be his bodyguard

Ronnakrit's Pov

" Ahh!" I screamed once again. 

The excruciating pain quickly ran through my veins. 

" I said stand down." Det yelled at the guy beside me. He was the one who pulled the trigger. He heaved a deep sigh. "Just be my bodyguard, and I will free you from this torment." He said coldly.

" Never. That is over my dead body." I barked. 

" Okay... There's no forcing anymore. You can leave." He slowly stepped back. Our eyes made contact. 

I stared at him completely, hoping to find a reason to doubt his sincerity right now. I felt a strange pull in my guts. There's something fishy. 

I didn't think much of it, I just turned around leaving the warehouse. As soon as I got out, I paused. Turning to look around if there was any lurking danger. 

Afterwards, I continued out of the dense and foggy area...

As soon as I got home, I paused right at the gate. My eyes stumbled on a cop's car. 'What are the officers doing here?' I asked myself. 

My mind because flooded with deep thoughts and instance. Why are they here? Is Pawat okay?

I opened the gate rushing towards the main door. As soon as I placed my hand on the door knob, it dawned on me that, my hands was bleeding and my clothing is a mess. 

" Argh." I groaned. I quickly placed my hand across my mouth. I could not afford to be caught. 

I quickly moved away from the door, heading towards the kitchen window. 

Just as I turned to check it out once again, I heard the door, creek open. " I thought someone was here." I heard Pawat's voice.

" Yeah, someone was there." A male voice echoed from inside. It sounds exactly like detector Kan.

" Maybe, you misheard." A feminine voice echoed from inside again. It wasn't at all familiar, but from the way it sounds, I guess it's Mr Kan's subordinate.

I turned my head towards the direction of the window of my room which was not locked. It remained the way I left it. 

Now, the problem was how to get in. It wouldn't be easy for me, since my arm was injured. 

There was no choice left than to just go into the sitting room, directly into the hands of those interrogators. 

With less attempt, I dragged myself towards the door...

And finally, I pushed it open. And as I have anticipated, before I could even move an inch away from the door, I heard. 

" Krit! What happened to you?" Pawat's voice boomed through the sitting room. 

He stared into my eyes, looking for answers. I tilted my head to look behind him; the officers were also staring.

Pawat rushed closer to me as soon as he noticed my hand. " What happened to you?" He asked. This time, his voice was more loud and sharp.

" I... Huh... Em..." I swallowed the lumps at the back of my throat. Kept quiet for a while to think of a better way to cover this up. And yes, the idea struct my mind. " I got caught in a crossfire between two gangs down town." I heaved a quick sigh of relief. 

I moved past him towards the sofa. Finally, bending over to sit. 

" Mr Ronnakrit? We would like to know why you disappeared from the hospital." Came Kan's harsh voice. 

" I... Huh... I dunno" I said.

" What do you mean you don't know?" The lady beside him asked.

" Truly, I don't. I just woke up to find myself outside." I lied.

" He needs to be taken in for proper interrogation" I heard the lady calmly speaking to Kan.

" Krit? What's wrong with you? Why have you not ever been plain and straight forward with me." Pawat said. His voice shaky as it slightly raised the tension in the air.

I turned to look at him, then at the officers who just kept staring at us, and we're planning on taking me into custody.

" The law has to take you in for a full interrogation of what happened to your grandma and why the hell you are coming in with a torn hand." Kan said bringing out his handcuffs. 

" Officer? I will come to the police station to give you all the informations you need about my grandma and my disappearance from the hospital." I explained, slowly signalling to them that it is all because Pawat was here, I didn't want to disclose it.

" huh." That was the last statement he made, when the window's glass suddenly shattered. And the next second, he collapsed flat on the floor. 

" Shit. Everyone down." I shouted. Almost immediately, Kan's subordinate and Pawat were already lying flat on the floor.

Sounds of glass shattering quickly filled the room as the air became an erosion of bullets. 

Although they all swoop quietly, they were thousand times deadly. 

Right from where I was, I noticed the lady pulled Kan's body onto hers. Tears slowly trickled down her eyes. 

" No!" She screamed.

Her voice was a deliberate loose of agony. Her grip tightens on him, pulling him into a warm hug. 

My gaze drifted to Pawat's position. He was on a spot. Crouched. Hands tied around his knees. His head sitting right on them. Heavy cold sweat beaded him.

I quickly rushed closer to him. Pulling him into my arms. " Hey don't worry." I whispered into the battled but silent air. 

" I am here. This is all going to end soon." With each word I said, my heart thumped frantically in my chest.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

And with every seconds that died, I felt my muscles slowly weakened. My stomach knotted. Why's all this happening?

Suddenly the door swung open with a huge force. And without wasting no time, I jumped to my feet, into an active mode. 

I didn't have the time to think, as a strong hand wrapped around my neck. 

" Krit." I heard my brother's yelp for help.

And slowly they dragged him away from sight. " I am going to make this clear one last time. Be my bodyguard or you lose your brother and your sick grandma." Det cold voice echoed in my mind. 

Tears slowly trickled down my cheek.
