Dave had pretended to spend dreadful minutes scouring over the details of the runes in the chambers, analyzing them and taking photographs, doing something Javier had expected him to do, even something so mundane as watching a set of runic symbols that didn't even make sense. He feigned to spend time analyzing it and trying to compare the picture of the tablet from Catherine’s email, which he privately printed, to other ancient runes and symbols scattered all over the chamber. However, nothing could be found that was even remotely similar to keys or some kind of clue or a map. It was like looking at a lost kid at a Peppa Pig concert show.
Of course, Dave had intended to return to London to study the runes further, maybe do some research and paint the chamber of spookiness. He’d even hoped that there was a link between the images and his
The Toyota Hilux looked like it had been on a mission on a safari in the Dubai desert. Coin-sized bullet holes littered the back window, with a few more dotting the windshield. Shawn looked at Catherine with a quizzical face from the back seat. "So when were you planning on telling us about this little gem of information that you can use a gun and shoot like a fucking assassin, wifey?" She returned the glare with a smile and an exaggerated roll of her eyes. "Didn't I mention that I was trained by Javier’s men before my lucky escape? I already told you, the ugly bastard trained me well enough for his bidding. Actually, he ordered me to assassinate you, and I didn't follow his orders. Now I'm their target and that sort of information was on a need-to-know basis." "Oh, hell yeah... I guess it's
Ten minutes later, Ben guided the pickup back up the street toward where the Range Rover was parked. As they slowly rounded the curve, they saw Javier escorting Dave out from the tunnel where the chamber had been located, while the two gigantic Russians who had been over by the caged boulders before were nearly back to their vehicle with their gun and laptop bag.Ben just hoped that his massive brown cowboy hat and the stupid sunglasses would hide his face from Javier, not that the man could recognize him. After all, it had been a decade since they had seen each other.Walking casually toward the group, Javier’s men were completely unaware of any possible threat.From a distance, Catherine held down her sentiments as she saw Dave accompanied by Javi
"Looks like a camera and a laptop bag," he mumbled, lunging down and picking up the small raven case, which corroborated his feelings. "Hmm. It had likely been dropped during all the violence." Hurling the camera case over, Shawn assessed it more closely, then opened the zipper and removed the digital device. "Fuck… it! Dave must have taken pictures of the chambers." "Why would he do that?" Catherine asked from his side. Meanwhile, Ben had finished up with the tire and was loading up the meager equipment in the huge metal crate in the front of the vehicle bed. "Did you guys find something?" He cried out across the lot. "Yeah," Shawn retorted his question first.
Shawn felt terrible for Ben's condition; he was getting weaker and had been in a shootout that nearly killed him, but the man was overjoyed to be back in his so-called adventurous life. Their rental vehicle, on the other hand, had been severely damaged beyond recognition. The car had been essentially destroyed in the two firefights it had been involved in thus far. Shawn couldn't figure out how the engine had kept running. "Aw, Shawn, I really appreciate it. But don't worry, you can easily afford hundreds of them, and the owner won't mind. I knew him back in the day; he was a darling." Ben had responded to Shawn's apology with a wide grin and a hand pass. The gang exited the truck and climbed the short set of stairs inside the old-looking brick building. The computer business center appeared to be in line with the
"Oh yes, it's a fucking ring," Shawn grumbled with a smile. "So what the hell does it mean?" Ben responded, "Well, this is, I believe, the key. And yeah, but that’s only half of the puzzle. None of it makes sense unless we know where all of these Asians lived and where they were in Thailand. We identified it as Thailand. We have the ring. We have the tablet. And now... where to go?" The mood that had, for a moment, been upbeat turned sour again. Again, silence took over the group as they stared at the screen, understanding part of what they were looking at, but not enough to know where to go next. Catherine broke the hush after a few minutes of thought. Her arm extended out as she pointed at something on the screen. "What does that symbol mean?"
Warning Rated PG+18 Thirty minutes later, the group had found a lodging place near the town’s park. It was a bed and breakfast inn that had a small main hall, and simple but clean rooms, for which the couple was grateful. While they waited for Eddie and his men to arrive, Ben found a small cafe nearby and ordered something for them. Inside the cafe bar, they noticed how gloomy and chilled the place was, with soft lounge music and a more ambient atmosphere. The overall view has a solid, incandescent, out-of-the-way polish style and a small, well-stocked wine cellar in the middle. After a simple dinner, they went out of the cafe and Shawn took their things out of the car while Ben went to relieve himself. Shawn leaned in again on Catherine and planted a quick kiss on her lips before closing the car door. On the way out of the parking lot, he told her about what he intended to do with her in their room. Her cheeks flushed. "Seriously? Do you still think about that? Aren't we supposed t
Warning Rated PG+18 Shawn turned himself around, and now Catherine was on her back. "Shawn, I'm not even done yet." She bit her lips as he kissed his way over to her breast and gently suckled on it, as well as using his free hand to play with the breast just left. "Later, wife, for now, it's my turn to make you scream." "Shawn, I already came earlier, let me..um-" She moaned her words as he slowly kissed his way down the beautiful length of her body until he reached her glorious shaved love nest. Shawn thought how she smells like roses in the sunlight to him, just a wonderful, delicious scent that fills his nostrils and has him wanting to dive right in. But, alas, he held back, and gently nestled his face into her warm, hot haven, flicking his tongue back and forth across her sweet clit, feeling it begin to get hard under
It had only taken the dark Range Rover five hours to make the drive through the rolling highlands and roadside ranches to the nearest airport, but they were unable to take off because of the incoming storm that would take a day to cease, so they looked for a nearby town that wasn't too crowded with tourists. The next morning, the gang was able to fly through Thailand, and after fourteen hours of flight, they arrived at Bangkok international airport. Then they rented a car for their first stop, the ancient city of Muang Boran. It was located 30 km outside the center of Bangkok, in the Samut Prakan district. Their open-air museum offers more than 120 replicas of monuments on larger or smaller scales, but often at the actual size of the most remarkable buildings in Thailand or neighboring countries. Inside the rented car, Dave was amazed by the be
