Macau was even too numb to move. His eyes stuck to Pete's body. Vegas has forced Pete to sit on his lap and expose his body to Macau in full display to watch. Vegas bit Pete's neck and every part he could get hold of. Pete tried to avoid eye contact from Macau which was not allowed by Vegas. Vegas was especially rough as Pete's screams filled the room followed by Vegas moans.
Pete's mind drifted to the past. Vegas's face was morphed into Kan's face and then he remembered the time he was subjugated to immense pain from Vegas and then from Kan.
He was losing control of reality as he screamed more and then he felt as if a huge hand blocked his mouth. He couldn't listen to his voice. Flashback of Porsche pointing a gun at him. The scene shifted to Kinn who asked him why he betrayed him. He was just trapped inside but he felt happy. He couldn't feel any pain anymore.
Macau had always seen this scenario but for once he could see such a close-up. Pete's body is in different shades of blue and purple. Pete's eyes were red as tears ran down continuously. Pete's smell.
Damn!! Pete's smell. The overflowing aroma of honey even covered Vegas' scent.
Pete has fainted in the middle. Vegas didn't stop but Macau noticed it he had to go to Vegas and push him to stop. He noticed how Vegas finally stopped after coming inside Pete. He walked away after dismissing the people. Macau stood and watched as Pete's heart still moved up and down. He slowly with trembling hands covered Pete's body with a blanket ran to his room and locked it.
After that day Pete stopped coming out of his room. He sat inside most of the time. He refused to eat or drink.
Macau could hear Vegas getting angry at Pete.
"Do you think I will be scared of you not eating??"
Vegas has forced water down Pete's throat. Which Pete didn't resist.
Vegas punching and breaking things just to get attention or any response from Pete.
He even bought kids inside the room but Pete didn't even blink his eyes. He sat up huddled down in a corner. Pete's sleepless nights and lack of response.
Macau begged him to say something once but he looked just past him.
Vegas has screamed at the doctor.
"I know he is just pretending....He is not that weak to break at something like this....Worse has happened to him."
Vegas knew that because he had done worse to him.
The doctor wiped his sweat while trying to explain that everyone has a breaking point and that maybe he has done something worse this time but that doesn't mean it was not enough to finally break the camel's back.
"This is just PTSD.....he mentally can't take it anymore so his brain is just shutting off the stimuli and response."
Phayu and Gun were by Pete's side calling his name but he still lay on the bed looking at the ceiling.
Macau held Pete's hand as days passed whenever he could get a chance when Vegas was not around him.
"I am sorry for being a coward.....could you please let me listen to your voice just once....I will do anything you want.....I will even let you leave this place."
Macau felt an uneven amount of pain generating from his heart and tears flowing down his eyes. He couldn't explain it to himself.
Macau whipped his tears and that night when Vegas was in his study room. He carried Pete in his arms and safely took him out of Vegas' district.
Macau holding Pete in his arms as the car driver drove in tension.
"You always wanted to leave.....Look I am fulfilling your wish....You know I always wanted to proudly hold your body as my brother did..He could claim you whenever he wanted to...."
Macau smiled as if remembering a distant memory.
"You remember once I was sitting in the front while brother and you occupied the back seat...I was so jealous of how readily he could kiss you. Your face would turn into a deeper shade of red...Now that I am finally able to hold you it turned out to be our final meeting.."
Porsche was waiting at the meeting point with his whole entourage.
"What happened to him?"
Porsche's happiness vanished as he looked at the lifeless body in front of him.
Macau wiped his tears ignoring Porsche's question. He bent down to kiss Pete on the lips finally wishing him farewell. Porsche was shocked.
"If something happens to him...I will kill you..."
Macau said that with a killer intent in his eyes.
Macau turned to leave only to find Pete holding his sleeves.
Macau was brave through it as he reluctantly left Pete and started driving back.
He was halfway through when on his wireless he could hear that they had found Pete with Porsche and Vegas was there to get him back.
Macau turned his car around a full speed and went back.
When he reached the meet-up point it was too late.
Fire and bullet shells were all he could see.
Feeling something gruesome he stepped out of the car and walked forward. A bullet hit his right shoulder but he kept moving forward shooting his gun and screaming Pete's name.
Finally, as the headcount of people decreased he could see it. Vegas is on his knees as his subordinate tries to drag him back. Porsche was unconscious on the side of the road.
A car going up in flame.
"No...!!! No!!!! This is impossible"
Macau's mind repeated at full speed.
"Where is Pete??"
He pushed Vegas asking him again and again.
A bodyguard came forward to tell him about the car in which Pete was blown up in the crossfire.
Macau screamed.
"U guys did this to him!!....." He held Vegas and punched him hard.
"Why can't you just let him live!!"
Punched him once more.
"Why can't you just let him go!!"
One punch from the right side landed on Vegas' face.
"What have he done so wrong!! He just wanted peace in his life...He just wanted to live with his kids!! Why do you have to make his life a living hell!!!"
Vegas lay there looking up at the sky too tired to speak and even react.
