Forty Four

Zee and Nunew arrived in the police station and Max, Net and Mark are waiting for them there. Mark was talking to their lawyers Off and Gun when Zee walked to them.

"Where are the others?" Zee asked

"They are on their way. Should we go in now or wait until the others arrive?" Mark asked

"No need to wait phi, we're here." Tutor said as they walk towards the group

"Let's go and see who this fucker is" Tommy said to them.

"Wait a second" Zee said. He then faced Nunew who has been very quiet

"Nu, whoever it is in there, remember this is not your fault. There is no way that you are at any fault in this. You dont control them. You dont dictate anything to them. Whatever they did is on their own will, not yours. Do you understand?" Zee held both of Nunew's cheeks

"He's right Nunew. You dont get to blame yourself on this. That's their own actions. Not yours." Mark patted Nunew's shoulder

"We'll always stand by you Nunew. You know that" Net told Nunew as well.

Nu sighed deeply
"Thanks guys." He said. He held Zee's hand tightly and gave them a small smile.
"As long as you're all with me I'll be okay" Nu said to them

"Let's go" Max said and they all walked inside.

They were led into a large room and waited in there. The lead officer then came inside with folders in his hand and sat down with them.

"Good afternoon everybody, thank you for coming. My name is Amonsak and I am the lead for this case. I would like to tell you all that we have arrested the culprit that is responsible for the arson in your restaurant. It is a good thing that your neighbours managed to get us CCTV footages because it managed to get the culprit's face. We also got finger prints on both letters from the arson and the broken window incident and they also match to the culprit. He used gasoline outside your restaurant and broke a window and poured some in there too. We have enough evidence to press charges against him for arson, we would like to ask if you would like to press charges yourself" officer Amonsak asked

The boys looked at each other and nodded to Off and Gun

Off spoke first
"Yes officer, we would like to sue them for damage to property and loss of income" off said

"We would also like to sue them, in behalf of Mr. Panich, for attempted Manslaughter" Gun said.

Amonsak nodded
"Very well. I was worried a bit because the culprit has been mentioning Mr. Panich's name and has been saying that Mr. Panich would understand why he did it. I thought you would take back the charges against him" the officer said

The boys all looked shocked. They looked at Zee who also looked confused.

"Im sorry officer Amonsak. But did you say he knew Zee? Not me?" Nunew asked for a clarification.

"As weird as it sounds Mr. Chawarin, but despite doing two letters with you in it, he never mentioned you even once during the interview. Only Mr. Panich" Amonsak said

"What's his name officer?" Zee asked

Officer Amonsak took a photo in his folder and put it down on the table.

"His real name is Tanapon Sukumpantanasan" Amonsak told them

"PERTH?!" Max shouted as Zee took the photo from the CCTV footage that shows Perth's full face wearing the same black hoodie jacket that their own CCTV captured when their window broke.

"Yes, he is known to others as Perth. Im assuming as you all know him then?" Officer Amonsak asked

"Most of us are familiar with him officer" Mark told him
