Oh no!
His expensive phone was almost thrown to the floor. As soon as the young lieutenant returned home, he hurried straight to his bedroom. When he opened the door, he didn't find his wife. At that moment, his heart sank to his ankles. He made a sound, but all that came back was silence.
“Dragon, where are you?”
The young police officer hurried into the walk-in closet because fear was rising in his heart. What if the younger brother was so angry that he packed up his clothes and ran back to Chiang Rai?
Oh, he prayed in his heart that it wouldn't be like that.
Thiartha took only a few steps and arrived inside. His sharp gaze scanned the small person's clothes for a split second. Where has he gone?
The young police officer hurried out of the room, his long legs heading towards the stairs. But at that moment, his mother opened the bedroom door and came out to look at her son's face.
“Where have you been, Thiar? Why do you smell like alcohol?”
"Don't tell me you've been out at night and you've got a wife."
But those words did not enter the son's ears at all. Even though the mother had not finished uttering her complaints, Thiartha suddenly chose to interrupt.
“Mom, have you seen the dragon?”
“No, son. Why?”
"What's the matter, Thiar? Did you two fight?" Phrada began to frown.
“The dragon isn’t in the room. I called him, and it was turned off.”
"I'm going to go look around the house first."
“Hurry up, son.”
His sharp face showed a serious expression. He half-walked, half-ran down to the lower floor. If he was angry, he was ready to apologise and improve himself.
Suddenly, a thought came to mind. When the dragon was angry, that kid liked to go swimming, that's what he knew.
Back then, when Thiartha was still a Police Lieutenant or Captain, he was assigned as a senior to help train at the Provincial Police School.
The evening atmosphere at the training ground was filled with enthusiasm and seriousness. The classmates were all practising in groups as usual. However, one child stood with his jaw clenched, his eyes wide open, staring at his friend who had said sarcastic words that he could hardly bear. All of them fell under Thiartha's gaze.
"This bastard, he'll get punched in the face with one punch."
The dragon murmured, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins bulged. He rarely uttered foul language, unless he truly exceeded his limits.
But when his eyes caught sight of the tall figure of his senior, Captain Thiar, standing far away, he had to stop, because he couldn't do what he had hoped for.
"Damn it... If you punch him, the captain will definitely punish you."
The trainee police officer hurried out of the field, heading straight for the school's central swimming pool, with Thiartha following at a distance.
Before the older man could even make his appearance, the dragon took off his shirt and leapt into the water with a splashing sound.
What the hell is wrong with this kid?
At the time, the two were not very close, but in this winter weather, he could not let this child catch a cold, so he hurried over and shouted.
“Are you crazy? Swimming alone in the evening like this. What if you get a cramp?!”
A younger man swimming in the large pool stopped swimming and looked back with a bored expression before speaking loud enough for him to hear.
"It's better than me punching that guy and causing trouble!"
That answer caused the person who had come to help to train to roll their eyes, but the corners of their lips couldn't help but smile faintly. The old man stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the child who was swimming to relieve his boredom with exhaustion, before speaking in a teasing tone.
“If using force to solve a problem makes you feel better, I think it’s not a bad idea to try.”
Sometimes, people who like to bully others deserve to get bullied.
What does captain mean?
The audience, not understanding the words, swam back to the edge of the pool, then leaned on it with their hands and asked with a small smile.
“Can I punch him?”
“It might even make them stop bullying people.”
Instead of giving good advice, you choose to use violence. It's a waste of time to be a good cop and give ineffective advice.
“Would you like to try it?”
Thiartha said jokingly before walking closer and reaching out his large hand to pat the other's head with affection.
“Come back up. Take a shower. You’ll get sick.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Thiartha looked at the trainee police officer slowly climbing out of the swimming pool without hurrying, and in his heart, he felt an indescribable fondness for this hot-headed child.
It's like something is attracting you.
Cut back to the present.
The last place he thought he would find his wife, but when he arrived, the backyard pool was empty. When he looked around carefully, he saw no living creatures at all. There was only the darkness of the night surrounding him.
“Where are you going, dragon?”
At the moment, the young police officer was completely at a loss, not knowing where the little guy could go. His large hand picked up the phone again and called the person the dragon might have contacted.
Toot Toot
(What's up, Thiar?) Phuwin answered the phone.
"Did the dragon call you?"
(No, is there something wrong?)
"What about Nong Phlab? Has Mangkorn called?"
The conversation partner was silent for a moment before replying with the same answer as before.
(He didn't call. What's wrong with you, Thiar?)
"Nothing, thank you very much."
(How can there not be? Did you guys fight?)
"Oh, if there isn't any, then there isn't any. That's all."
The person on the other end of the line slammed his fist before hanging up. Right now, it was still unknown where the dragon was. It couldn't be said that he had disappeared. If Phu knew that the dragon had disappeared, he would definitely find him in Chiang Mai within five hours from now.
"Thiartha, come and check the CCTV, son," his mother called out, causing her son to run over immediately.
CCTV footage shows Saming picking up his younger sibling, leaving about thirty minutes before he reached home. Thiartha didn't hesitate to pick up the phone and call the culprit.
The call waiting sounded like that. The first call went unanswered, but the long fingers pressed the call button without paying any attention to anything else until the third call was answered.
(What's up, Thiar? Calling so late.)
“Where are you taking the dragon?”
(Huh? The dragon hasn't gone home yet?) A voice that was pretending to be surprised said softly.
"I turned on the camera. Where are you taking the dragon?"
(I took my brother to a milk shop, but he said he would go back home by himself. That was half an hour ago.)
(Hey, aren't you home yet?)
(Ai Thiar, have you called Mangkorn yet?)
“Called and didn't pick up”
(Or his battery is dead, so why not wait a little longer?)
"Which milk shop did you go to?"
Thiartha didn't listen to the advice. After receiving the coordinates, he told his mother to wait for Mangkorn at home. As for himself, he quickly grabbed the car keys and drove away.
In my mind, I was in complete confusion. I thought of one of the words of the Black Bull gang.
“I will kill him.
Even though they were inside, they couldn't be trusted. If something happened to the dragon, he would never forgive himself.
The young police officer drove to the location that Saming had given him. As police officers, we shouldn't believe anything at face value. Therefore, we had to go and verify the evidence ourselves.
When we arrived at the shop, it was about to close. However, after asking around and showing the dessert shop owner the photo of the younger sibling, it was confirmed that the couple had indeed come to eat there and left together.
"Where did the dragon go?"
The phone call to his mother was never interrupted. The answer he got was that the dragon had not returned. Saming also called to inquire about the progress from time to time.
Where are you going?
My mind was empty. I couldn't think of anything good. Marriage was a way to improve his luck. But was Dragon's luck okay?
The sapphire eyes stared at the bright screen. It was one o'clock, and it was time to go to bed.
"Or should we go drink? The bar isn't closed yet."
"Or the Sergeant Majors invite the dragon to come out."
Many hypotheses were put forward. Thiartha quickly drove back to the nightclub he had left, and as soon as he reached his destination, he rushed inside without any hesitation.
Several police officers were drunk and enjoying the music they heard. Kanin was no exception. He was flirting with his subordinates and was repeatedly pushed away by Nadol. But those things weren't the point. The point now was finding the dragon.
"Oh, Inspector Thiar, are you back?" Sergeant Sem's voice groaned, greeting him even though he could barely get up from the sofa.
"Sergeant, has Captain Mangkorn arrived here?"
"No, Inspector. Is something wrong?" Captain Nadol, who looked the most composed, answered the question.
"The dragon disappeared."
"Huh? Little Dragon is missing."
All at once!
"What did you just say, Thiar?" Kanin, who had heard the sentence a moment ago, jumped up from the captain's lap.
“I went back home. Dragon wasn’t home. I checked the camera. Dragon went out with Saming. I asked Saming, and he said they had already split up. Dragon would go back on his own.”
“Xia, Thiar, but wait a minute…Or what?"
"Little Dragon, is at your house? Not at the police quarters.”
“Yes, the dragon is sleeping at my house. But don’t try to explain it yet.”
Which one should I be shocked about first? Kanin was almost sobered up by then. The atmosphere became tense. The three police officers looked at each other. “Did you call already?”
“Yes, I called.”
Chiang Mai at night is considered a safe province.
I don't dare say it with full confidence. Bad things can happen at any time, to anyone, but it must not happen to a dragon.
"I think we should go back to the police station and regroup there first," Nadol suggested.
Thiar gritted his teeth and tried to suppress his feelings, but what his subordinate suggested seemed to be the best solution for now.
The three of them separated and returned to the car. Kanin, who was now almost sober, got in the car with Thiartha and helped coordinate the call with the officer, because he himself felt equally anxious.
"Have you told Phu yet, Thiar?"
"Don't tell him yet."
"Oh, otherwise, my head and yours might come off your shoulders too."
Before he came to help with the case here, Phuwin repeatedly emphasised that he should help take care of Mangkorn, and Lukphlab himself also said so. Mangkorn is his younger brother whom he loves very much. Kanin will never let anything happen to his younger brother.
"Take it, take it, dragon."
As the car moved, Thiartha still called, but the other end of the line was completely silent, not even a connection.
“Fuck!”
The car's speed increased with the force of his emotions. It took him only five minutes to drive from the entertainment venue to the police station. The brakes were loud, the wheels scraping against the road, leaving a faint trail of smoke. The young police lieutenant got out of the car in a hurry, but before he could walk into the police station, a familiar voice came from the parking lot.
"Have you found the dragon yet, Thiar?"
“Dammit!”
