"For how long have we been walking?"

"4 hours maybe...how the hell am I supposed to know that? I'm clueless just like you."

Kayla paused and raised her hands up, "ok, ok, cool down geez. It's like I poke a sleeping bear."

Yo stopped and turned to look at her, whizzing. He let out a scream of freight and back away immediately, starring at her in horror. She looked at him suspiciously then looked down at herself. Finding nothing wrong she asked harshly, "what got stuck into your butt?"

He shook his head and exclaimed, "no wonder those two cars didn't wanted to stop! Look at you, your hair is sticking out everywhere like a crazy woman, you are sooo red like a boiling lobster and your clothes are sticking on you as if you had a shower with all your clothes on."

She examined herself coolly then stared at him up and down, "you know, you are fucking red too and sweat are running down like water from your forehead to your chest. You stink and look disgusting so don't try to put this on me."

Yo put on a defensive stance, "it's boiling hot over here and we walked this much so obviously I will sweat and don't forget we are walking in the full sun so we are both sunburn. How can you just accuse me like that! You are stinking too!"

They glared at each other refusing to back down and lose the fight. Yo groaned as he passed a hand tiredly over his face, "listen, let's not talk until we find civilisation again. We are not making many advances if we keep stopping in the middle of nowhere and fight like that every 10 minutes."

"You said the same 10 minutes ago." Kayla replied sarcastically.

"This time I'm very serious. We keep walking and don't stop. I don't want to get stuck here until night, who knows what might happen. I don't want to test my luck again anytime soon."

She nodded and they started off again, each pinching their mouth tightly to prevent from talking.

10 minutes later

"I think I was a murderer in my previous life." Kayla muttered as she dragged her feet along.

"Why would you say that?"

"Because God is punishing me now! You know how they say that you pay for your sins right here before dying, so I think I made a very big mistake. Why else would we be kidnapped, starved and tortured?"

Yo paused and looked at her quizzically, "tortured?"

She nodded and grimaced as she forced herself to continue walking, her feet were burning, "we were made to sleep on a bug infested bed, we were tied harshly and brought to their apartment, they refused to give us food or water except that popcorn and this morning they were too busy planning an escape to give us breakfast." She finished on a whine and her eyes filled with fresh tears.

"You're so right, I must have been a murderer too. We got thrown into a forest for the animals to feast on, my feet are boiling in this shoes but I can't take them off because I won't be able to walk and I'm dehydrated and patched. I....I think i'm feeling light-headed from lack of food or I'm just having a heat stroke."

She waved a hand dismissly as she passed by him, "don't exaggerate. I'm in worse condition than you. My feet are cracked and unrecognisable." She put her hands on her waist and turned to look at him with a horrified expression, "and don't you dare to remove your shoes! We might faint, hell, the birds might fall down from the trees."

Yo glared at her as his nose flared up, "the nasty one here is you! Don't talk to me ever again!"

She turned in front with a hump and continued forward annoyed with him. She halted so suddenly that causing Yo bumped into her, nearly sending them crashing to the ground.

"Aiee, what the fuck!" He shouted angrily.

She simply lifted a hand and pointed a finger to her faraway right, " do you see that?"

Yo blinked his eyes as he forced his blurry eyes to focus. Slowly the top of a building came into his focus. Taking in a sharp breath he looked desperately at Kayla who nodded and bit her lips. Together they screamed, "finally!"

With renewed energy they set off excitingly, too happy to find something at least.

At the Panichayasawad's residence

Mr Panichayasawad was pacing around impatiently, now that they knew Yo and Kayla has been kidnapped, they had somehow of lead to start searching. He was waiting for an expert from the FBI who promised to give all his might in finding them and he just called him 30 minutes ago claiming to have found something concrete. He immediately called the Kongthanin to inform them the good news and now they were on their way over.

His wife and son were sitting on the sofa feeling drained out. Worry was eating them alive and it was showing on their faces. At the sound of footsteps they stood up immediately and face the entrance expectantly but it was only the Kongthanin. Phana came in looking frantic, "you found them? Where are they? Are they alright?"

Mr Panichayasawad lifted a hand stopping him, "we don't know anything yet. We are waiting for the detective. Let him come then we will know for sure."

Pha groaned and faltered on his feet. Forth came up rapidly behind him to steady him. His future son-in-law was going crazy and it was showing clearly. He was a mess with uncombed and unwashed hair, his clothes has not been changed since Yo disappearance and he has large dark circles under his bloodshot eyes. Not that Mr Panichayasawad was any different, all of them was showing signs of deep worry but Phana's eyes were frightening. He looked on the edge of insanity and no one could bring him back because they were all drowning in their own worries.

The butler came in followed by the detective. Phana approached him in quick, long strides and snarled in his face, "tell me you found them else I will kill you right now."

The detective who was used to confronting much worse circumstances was not even affected in the slightest. He bypassed him without a second glance and opened his laptop on the small coffee table. He then straightened up and glanced around, "as you all know we were checking up on all cars that the CCTV camera caught at the club and several inspectors has been sent to investigate each owner but now it's not necessary because we found the one."

A deadly silence descended upon the room as they stared at him wide eyes. He went back to his laptop clicking on something and talking at the same time, " we already got a team on their way to rescue them and rest assured that they will bring them safe and sound to the best of their possibilities."

Yo's mother gave out a cry and fell into her son's arms. She sobbed in relief, at least there was a good news and a solid lead.

Forth cleared his voice and asked hoarsely, "how did you find the lead?"

The detective beckoned them closer, " we suspected an old van because that sort of vehicle would normally not be at a high class club so we checked it out and on closer inspection we found that our suspicious were correct."

They all surrounded him as they stared intensely at the screen. The black and white footage was playing and the detective paused it when a white van was passing through. Upon zooming they could very well see the blurry image of someone tied up at the back. It didn't take long for them to know that it was Yo, he was staring at something outside the window and he appeared terrified. Kit gasped aloud as tears rushed down his cheeks hotly. Seeing his brother into such a vulnerable position literally broke his heart into a million pieces.

Pha was paralyzed, he kept staring at the image unblinkingly and he wasn't even breathing. Mrs Kongthanin was searching desperately for a sign of her daughter but the detective assured her that she was there with Yo, they managed to caught a feminine elbow next to him in the van. He then turned to Pha and said seriously, "he was looking at you."

Pha finally blinked and looked at him still unmoving, it was only his head that moved like a robot. The detective showed them another angle of the footage where to their extreme shock it showed Pha coming out of his car and entering the club as the van passed behind him at the same time.

"Phana," Mr Kongthanin said warningly and they all turned to look at him. Pha was trembling badly, his fingers were fisted tightly and he looked on the verge of murder. With a cry of desperation, fear, sadness and anger he lifted the coffee table and threw it against the nearest wall, breaking it instantly. Luckily, the detective has already lifted his laptop off it with quick reflex.

Breathing hard, he looked around for something else to throw but Mr Panichayasawad stopped him, "don't even think about it, this is my house and I don't care for someone who will destroy it. I will not hesitate to throw you out and you won't ever be able to set foot in here."

Phana looked at him with burning eyes, he was emitting so much pain and desperation that even his father wasn't daring to stop him. The detective cleared his voice and said, "let's get going. We will catch up with my team on the way there."

Kit and Forth nodded and started right off, eager to see their baby siblings. Phana growled and tried to keep himself into control. He took a deep breath and followed stiffly, the parents behind him. They got in two cars and drove off following the detective's car.

Back to Yo and Kayla

"Ohh my god I think it is a resort!" Kayla gushed off excitingly as she tried to run with her broken heels. Her shoes has long given up as Yo laughed at her saying that's the consequence of buying cheap things to which they had started fighting again.

"Ohh shit! Think of the bath they might have there!" Yo said full of hope and joy.

"I'm almost salivating. I will take a long bubble bath and eat at the same time. What about you?"

He nodded in affirmation as they finally come into view, "I think the same too."

It was in fact a very high class and chic restaurant and spa with a view of the forest. There was a man-made lake at the entrance and Yo wanted to dive in directly. They approached unsteady on their feet. If it wouldn't have been for the sightings of this god-send place, they would have given up already to the exhaustion. They grinned happily as they walked rapidly, they wanted to run but couldn't due to their aching limbs.

Yo was about the approach the gate but Kayla gestured him over to another corner, "this way is closer, look." She was indicating a path where you would have to jump over the flowers bed and come up directly in front of the reception. It was indeed closer so without thinking they jumped over and wobbled their way to the front. The reception put down her phone immediately upon seeing them. Her mouth fell open as she stared at them wide-eyed.

"Look I know we are a mess but can we get something to eat and prepare us a luxury bath." Kayla said expectantly as she put her hands on the counter and smiled innocently at her. She was trying to wipe her sweat sneakily while Yo behind her was trying to make himself more presentable by tucking his shirt in. It was futile, their efforts were in vain as the girl grew more and more horrified and disgusted at their appearances. No one could blame her either. They were dripping with sweat, had dirty feet, hands and face, their hair was overly greased and matted at some places, their clothes were obviously very dirty and they were stinking.

The receptionist shook her head nervously as she put one hand on a phone next to her, "I'm sorry but we are fully booked and won't have any opening for this week."

"Ohh cut us the crap. We recognise a place meant for the rich and where you would shoo off the poor by saying you are full. We are not poor, we just don't have any money on us right now. Book us a bath and have a buffer delivered, we will pay in time don't worry." Yo growled out impatiently as he caught the smell of roasted duck drifting over to them.

Kayla's eyes widened as she got the smell too. She took a sniff and said dreamily, "my mouth is watering, it smells so good but I guess even roasted carrots will smell good right now."

Unknown to them the girl has already called for the manager and for the securities. He came over flanked by the guards and took a step back in disgust at their appearance.

"Is there any problem?"

The reception quickly nodded, "they are requesting for a bath and a buffer but they don't have any money on them."

The manager looked at them turning his nose up, "can you present your ID please?"

Yo and Kayla looked at each other then shook their heads dumbly, "we have nothing on us."

He waved his hands at them dismissly, "then please get out." Yo lifted a hand up quickly as the guards took a step towards them, "no please we found this place after so many difficulties. You see, we were kidnapped yesterday night at a club. They tortured us and even demanded our parents for ransom. But then they chickened out and dumped us to some far away place because they know they were screwed if they were caught with us. So they threw us in the middle of no where and we walked and walked until we stumbled upon this place."

By the time he finished the receptionist was hiding a smile behind her hand and Kayla turned to glare at her, " I know it sounds unbelievable but it's completely true."

The manager shook his head, "what you do take me for? A fool? Even if your story is true, we can't allow you to sit with the others in this state. Our clients will complain endlessly, afterall we do have a reputation to uphold."

Yo sighed and rubbed his forehead, "ok...but at least let us make a call. We need to contact our parents." He looked indecisive but at their pleading faces he gestured to the phone reluctantly, "make it quick."

Yo nodded thankfully and impatiently dialled a number that he knew by heart, Phana's number. He knew he needed to call his parents but first he needed to hear Pha's voice and to ensure that he was alright.

Pha was sitting broodingly beside Forth and his mother when the car in front of them abruptly stopped. Mr Panichayasawad got out from his car and walked towards them, his face taunt and pale. Mrs Kongthanin started hyperventilating, "ohh god don't tell me something has happened to them."

Pha shot out of the car and met him halfway, Forth and his father behind him.

Mr Panichayasawad shook his head tightly, "it seems that they knew we are coming. The team couldn't find them and their van also is missing." Forth swore out loud as Pha felt like he was dying for the thousands time since last night. They were all lost in their own thoughts when suddenly Pha's mobile started ringing. Seeing that it was a new number he frowned and answered briskly, "what?"

"P'Pha..."

At the sound of the sweet, heavenly voice he stiffened all over and stopped breathing, unable to believe. "Baby..?"

"It's me P'Pha, I missed you so much." His knees gave out completely as he kneeled on the hard concrete, hurting his knees but he didn't notice.

"Love, where...where are you?"

"We are at the Sun restaurant and spa. I don't know where exactly it is but it's surrounded by the forest. Me and Kayla are fine P'Pha, I just hope that's you're fine. How is mum, dad and P'Kit? And your family?"

Pha let out a small laugh as he felt his heart resume it's normal pace, since yesterday it was either beating too loudly, fast or it stopped beating altogether for a few moments. He started crying softly as Yo's sweet voice washed over him and caressed his warmly, enveloping him into it's sweet and comforting melody.

"P'Pha, are you crying? Please don't." His voice wobbled as the other end and Pha immediately shot to attention, "no baby it's ok, please don't cry you too. I just missed you so bad and I was so afraid. Don't worry, we are coming to fetch you ok, your family and my family are together so we are coming."

"Yes P'Pha, I will wait for you...I love you."

"I love you too baby, more than my life." He reluctantly cut the call, afraid of losing his baby again. Standing up hastily, he cried out loudly, "they are at Sun restaurant and spa. Let's go." They were all watching him when he fell to his knees and knew that only one person could have this effect on him. They waited impatiently until he stood up and gave them the news they were craving for. And now they sprung into action as they drove as fast as possible, praying and thanking the lord in their hearts.

Back at the restaurant Yo put the phone back carefully and looked tearfully at Kayla, "they are coming. We are finally getting back home."

She gave out a cry of joy and they hugged tightly, sobbing loudly until they got another whiff of barbecued meat. They turned to look pleadingly at the manager who was now unsure of himself, they appeared too genuine to be faking it but yet he can't let them enter with their current state.

Kayla scowled at him and glanced around. A devilish look came upon her eyes and she looked back at him challenging him, "fine, we are dirty and stinking. If we are clean will you let us enter?"

Yo look at her quizzically as the manager nodded uncertainly. She huffed and took Yo's hand, dragging him outside.

"Wait, where are you going?"

She pointed to a hose in the beautiful garden at the front of the restaurant, "we need a shower."

Yo looked at it then smiled brilliantly, "finally you thought of something smart! But...do you think they will let us enter dripping wet?"

She shrugged, "they should. At least we will no longer be stinking and our clothes will eventually dry."

Yo nodded thoughtfully, "then let's do it. I'm dying for a shower anyway." As they were walking towards it Yo skidded to a halt and looked at Kayla with a lopsided smile, "I found exactly what we need." He walked smugly to the empty tables set out a little far away. It was an empty area so he snatched four tablecloth from the tables quickly and ran back. Kayla squealed and slapped his shoulder hard, "I didn't know you were this intelligent!"

Glancing around, they went behind a huge tree tugging the hose along.

"So who will go first?" She asked and Yo started taking off his shirt, "me first. Close your eyes and don't look at me."

"How will I know where to hose you then?"

"I will tell you to lower and move up, right and left. Now close your eyes."

She nodded and Yo quickly striped down bare. At the sound of whistling he turned around quickly to find Kayla admiring his back, "no wonder my straight brother deviated. I mean, that's a very sexy and perky ass!"

Yo turned red and shouted hotly as he attempted to hide his jewel, "I told you no peeking!"

"I couldn't resist.."

"Well, in that case I will not resist either." Kayla's face turned sour as she rolled back her eyes, "ok, damnit, you're such a spoil sport."
