Oh my goodness, this is such a unexpected move, James has now met his worst enemy so far - his former best friend.

It's a showdown between Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty, I wonder how will James handle this one.

yeah.. exciting indeed..

but I dun think ella will be pregnant with Don baby, cos he's infertile. Whatever herbs he took doesn't work.

mimi's baby is actually from someone else. She's using it to tie Don down.

Celeste still has her key card....

[ilikeoldchangke]

The cold breeze felt like someone scratching on my dry skin as it hit against my face.


It’s a mere stone throw away to the hotel yet as I ran, time seemed to slow down.



My mind instantly filled with pictures, sequences and events that seemed to take place simultaneously.



It was as if I was transformed and actually in Don’s shoes.


What would I do it I was him ?


How would I play my cards ?




Time seemed to rewind itself as I pictured myself talking to the doorman, bribing and paying my way to get access to what I wanted.




The images jumped and flashed as I estimated a total of 40 missing euros and 25000 Hungarian Forint from my wallet. ( slightly less than 300 SGD in total)



The culmination of events that led up to that situation started stacking up and slowly it made sense to me. It was as if a veil was lifted from my face, or just like cleaning your misted glasses after getting out of a car, I could see everything clearly.




Don’s constant pestering of Ella did not just serve for him to get close to her, it was to give me a chance with Celeste. The advantages of me being occupied with Celeste far outweighs the odds that Ella would get close to him.




Don was playing me all along.

No.


Leading me along would be a better choice of words.




Yes, he may have made a little progress with Ella, but there was no way she would forgive him overnight.



Chances are better that Celeste and I would be better off in a world of our own.


Don made the right bets and it’s starting to pay off.


By letting me get occupied with Celeste, I would be out of his way.






Like a rude awakening, I realised that I could not always be the person plotting and scheming, someone would do the same too. And it happened when I let my guard down.



I don’t blame Celeste, it’s not her fault.


She deserved my attention. I was the one that was unworthy of her.




Yet I could not help feeling shitty as we placed our foot on the pavement in front of the hotel entrance, panting from the short sprint in the cold.




Don knew me well, and he probably staked out the place and surroundings well before I did. Probably on the morning before he decided to bribe the hotel staff.


One blink was all it took to bring me back to breakfast that morning, when Don excused himself.




If I were him, I would head straight to the room to disable the girls’ phone with his access card.


He would have bought himself a housekeeping key, one that opened all the rooms.




The last time the phone was used was before breakfast, there was no reason for us to use it again since we would be heading out for the tour soon. It was a gamble, he won.



A simple cut, or simply pulling it out the wire from the wall socket was all it took to cut off communication.


How many of us actually bothered with the phone in the room anyway ?




Another flash across my eyes and the scene changed again.


I was transported to the afternoon where I was basking in blissfulness of Celeste’s attention and embrace. I knew Don looked over several times, but it did not occur to me he was not only looking.




He was waiting.



Waiting for me to lose myself in the sweetness of falling in love.




And I bet that moment came when I was sending dirty messages to Celeste while waiting for my turn to use the bathroom.




Messages went back and forth, and I went to the bathroom without locking my phone, instead I left the messaging app opened.



Don had more than enough time to pick up where I left off before it auto locks down.





My brain did a mental calculation of the time between my last message and the one sent by Don.



7 mins.



He waited 7 minutes before telling Celeste I was sick.




It made sense too, there was no way I would be feeling sick seconds after flirting with Celeste on the phone.




I pictured Don pacing up and down, keeping his fingers on the keypad. Typing and deleting.


Typing and deleting.




For a full 7 minutes just to keep the app active.




And when the message went out, he set things in motion.


He had expected Celeste to come over, especially when there were no way to contact me by phone.



Once he had send Celeste away, he was half way to the finish point.





We reached the hotel entrance, panting away and the sight of a guest walking out with a bottle of water brought back a fragment of memory captured barely minutes ago I the room.



The room was made up, housekeeping replenished the water, yet when I came out of the shower, both bottles were empty, lying on its side beside the bin.




Don forced himself to vomit. Something easy to achieve with lots of water.



Celeste overtook me and hit the lift button several times but both lifts were heading up, bringing a new group of arrivals to their rooms.




I held her hand and was about dashed into the staircase when I saw Celeste massaging her right ankle.



Celeste : Sorry… I think I sprained it a little.



I wanted to run up the stairs but I saw one of the lift heading down so I waited, praying for each second to fly by.






It’s not possible.



We were barely gone for a few minutes.



There was no way Don could do it.




No way.



I did not know what came over me, I was knocking on my room rood, asking Don to open it the same time I tried unlocking the lock with my disabled card. The flashing red led light was both irritating and worrying.



Celeste managed to open her room door and she immediately disappeared into the room before I heard her call out to me.




Celeste : James !


My heart dropped as I dashed forward to her but I tripped and fell, falling face first onto the carpeted floor.



I landed hard, the air being expelled from my lungs at such a quick speed that I found it hard to breath.



James : fuck.




I clamoured up within half a second and dashed towards the girls’s room.



Celeste was frantically running around the small room.





Celeste : Ella is not here.


I went in and took a quick look.



The floor in front of the bathroom was dripping wet and there was still a trickle of water cascading down from the faucet.





Ella’s coat was still hanging on the chair by the dresser table.



Her phone plugged in and charging, it’s indicator light blinking away.





Her shoes though was gone.



I told Celeste to stay put and get my card replaced at the reception.




James : Tell them it doesn’t work. Replace it and come back quick.


I started knocking on my own room door again.





There was a chance they were in it.



Celeste disappeared down the corridor as I tried the doorbell the same time I was knocking on it.





James : Don …. Open up….. let me in..



James : Don …… It’s me…. Let’s talk….



I could feel my heartbeat rising and a trickle of sweat rolled down my back.

I was torn between raising my voice and just slamming on the door but I forced myself to keep my cool.


My group has been enough of a nuisance to the rest of the tour members.



James : Don , it’s me ……open up…




I forgot how much time passed but Celeste soon appeared, limping towards me with a keycard.



I immediately unlocked the door and went in.




The smell of vomit from the room was still quite strong.


I checked even the wardrobe, the room is empty.




I turned to Celeste and told her I’m going to go look for them.


James : Stay in your room. Do not open the door for Don.



She nodded and asked me to be careful.





After walking Celeste to her room, I grabbed Ella’s coat and left



I paused for a second before walking down the corridor to look for Charlie’s room.



He had given us his room number in case we needed something.




After a few knocks, he opened the door with a facial mask on his face.



Charlie : Yes boss ? What can I do for you.





I gave Charlie a condensed version of what happened, leaving out the nasty bits.



James : To sum it up, they were on the rocks for a while, and I guess things got worst.



He nodded and peeled off his mask, adding that he’ll change and follow me.

[ilikeoldchangke]

James : It’s ok, they can’t be far away, I’ll check the surrounding first.



He nodded and closed his door.




For some reason I could not explain, I decided to take the stairs.




I got to the ground floor and entered the far end of the lobby close to the bar.


Taking a quick look around, I left the lobby using the side entrance that led to the park.




The moment I stepped into the cold, I saw Don.




He was fucking standing like a block of wood in the middle of the park barely 50m away from me.


A searing heat rose up within me as I ran as fast as I could over to Don.




I fucking pulled back my right arm, ready to punch the shit out of him.



As I got closer, Don saw me.



I expected him to run.

To maybe get ready to defend himself.



To do anything.




He did.


He closed his eyes and before my fist connected with him, I could see he was crying.



I was hesitant for a brief moment, but I had enough time to swap the punch for a hard shove on his chest.






The words though, I could not control myself.



James ; WHAT the FUCK!!! DON!!....Chee bye!....FUCK !!




I shoved him again, harder the 2nd time and he staggered backwards, landing on his butt.




James : Where is Ella !


He did not reply me and he just sat on the ground crying away like a big baby.



James : What the fuck were you thinking !!!



I looked around the vicinity, trying to see if I could see Ella.




I grabbed Don by the collar, it’s really hard to shake someone by the collar by the way. You will know if you have tried it before.

It’s like grabbed a wet dead weight and trying to move it around.


James : What did you do ?.




Don blurted something out that made me drop his collar and stagger back 2 steps.


My mind was racked with pure confusion.



Sorry……desperate…..my mother…….cancer….. less than 3 years…… grandchild…..




Bits and pieces of what Don blurted out filled in the gaps in my questions.



He cried harder and I found it hard for me to console him in that situation.



James : What happened to Ella ?



Don went on to say that he entered Ella’s room. From the earlier conversation since the start of the trip, Ella was aware of his mum’s condition.



I knew Don’s mum doted on Ella, treating her like her own daughter.


Ella too, respected her deeply.



Don : I….. I was not thinking straight….sobzz… sobzz.. sobz..



I closed my eyes and took a deep breath when Don told me he entered the room when Ella was changing.



They quarrelled.

He tried to convince her.



She wanted him to get out.


Don tried to touch her but Ella slapped him.




Don : I never laid my hands on her…. I swear….


James : I don’t believe you…. Ella would not have ran… I don’t believe you.


Don was speechless for a few good seconds.



James : Look at me in my eyes and tell you did nothing !!!


I raised my voice at Don, filling the empty park with a hollow echo.




All he could say was that Ella fought and pushed her way out of the room and ran.


He lost her in the park.




Don : What the fuck is happening to me….sobzz… sobzz.. sobz…





I could feel a splitting headache coming up and all I could do was sigh, expelling a breath of smoky breath in the cold.


Raising my head to the skies, I noticed it was filled with stars.


Tens of thousands of stars glittering in the skies.



If only I was gazing at them in a better mood.


I took a deep breath and I heard Charlie behind me.




Charlie : What the hell man…. Your group si bei drama mama leh….. making me earn my tips si bo ?



Charlie helped Don up to his feet, asking him what happened.


I told Charlie to help Don back to his room while I go search for Ella.


Charlie checked to make sure I saved his mobile from earlier briefings before bringing Don back to the hotel.




James : I’ll call when I find her.




I chose a path that led deeper into the park and to the residential estate beyond and I started a slow jog, rubbing my hands together before bundling them into Ella’s coat.




It’s about 13 degrees that evening.


The constant wind made the cold even more unbearable.



I circled the park, calling out Ella’s name.


Unlike Singapore, there were no lamppost lighting up the park every 20m. It looked random to me.


An odd light here, another over at the corner.


Even the residential plot looked pretty dark, the only light were the ones spilling from the windows.





10 minutes into the search, I got to the edge of a small residential estate that sat on a slope.


It led uphill.


I considered heading up but gave up that thought, Ella would not go that way. It’s dark, leads to nowhere and it’s probably colder up the hill.




I continued calling out for Ella as I venture closer to the road.


A couple heading home with groceries looked at me suspiciously, probably thinks I’m a north Korean loitering near their house.



I rounded a bent and I started running. There she was, sitting on a bench at a bus stop.



James : Ella !...




She was shivering in the cold.


As I ran over, I opened up her coat and quickly wrapped her up.



Ella : J…..J…. James…. D….Don….



I stroked both her arms, telling her I knew what happened.



Ella was just in a thin long sleeve top and ¾ pants.

She wore no socks and her legs were trembling in her shoes.


Her hair was still dripping wet and she clung on tightly to the towel from the hotel.



James : Let’s get out of here…



She shook her head, shaking really badly. I could not tell if she was shaking in fear or because of the cold.



I could see the veins on the side of her neck straining hard, as if she was trying really hard not to let her teeth chatter.


I half tug and half dragged her onto her feet, hugging onto her as we made our way back to the hotel.




I texted Charlie to tell him Ella’s fine.


He replied almost immediately that Don just fell asleep in his room after a bout of crying.




It was coming to 11pm.


Even in the relative comfortable temperature of the hotel lift, Ella continued shaking.

She hesitated when the door opened and I had to reassure her Don is with Charlie before she stepped out.



As I walked Ella towards her room, she hung onto my arm tightly.


5 steps before I reached my room, Ella asked if I could stay with her for a while.




I hesitated but the pitiful look on her face was too much for me to bear.



I opened my room with the new card and Ella hid behind me as we enter.



Even after I closed the door, she still stuck to my side.



I turned and was about to reassure her everything was ok but Ella suddenly hung onto me, throwing both arms around my neck.



Before I could do anything, she kissed me.


James : Ella no… we can’t….




Ella : Please…. i…i…… I can’t sleep alone tonight. … not…. not tonight….



I backed away as I broke free, shaking my head.




It was almost a miracle that I could start over with Celeste. I can’t fuck it all up.



Ella : James… please…. Just….. just for the night….



I started shivering too.


The room’s temperature is a comfortable 24 degrees, yet I could not explain my shivering.



Ella took a step towards me and I found myself frozen.




James : Ella …please… we can’t….


Ella : Shh…. Sh……shhhhh…..i…..just…. just…. Just…. for the night… please…




She too looked like she was shivering.


I watch her fingers go for the zipper on her coat. Her face looked pale and I could see her eyes welling up, as if she was ready to cry.




As the zip came down, I could feel an erection building up. It is wrong, but I could not control my body.



Under the room light, I could see Ella was not wearing any bra. The thin long sleeve is in a medium shade of grey, Ella’s nipples protruded out, giving her top an extra dimension when view from certain angle.




The coat fell to the floor and Ella slowly approached my bed.


She reached for my hands unsteadily, her finger were shaking.




Both her hands felt cold to the touch.



Holding both my hands, Ella’s forehead collapsed heavily onto my chest as I exhaled a breath of hot air onto her hair




I can’t.


Not again.


Before I realised it, Ella was sitting on the bed while I stood in front of her.



She looked down onto her feet, she was still wearing her shoes and she breathed heavily, tucking both her hands palms down under her thighs.


Ella : Ja….James…



James : Ya ?



I knelt down, helping Ella remove her shoes.

Even her toes looked wrinkled and they were shivering…


I reached to the other shoe and Ella spoke.



Ella : Don….



Ella : Don ….. tried to rape me….




I paused and stared at Ella’s feet.


My body would not move.



I slowly brought my head back up to look at Ella.


No. I’m not being dramatic or anything.



I just did not know how to reply to something like that.



Would you know what to say ?



James : Are…. Are you…. Ok…?



A tear rolled down her cheek but I could see Ella clenching her jaw….



She was trying hard not to cry.



She took a while to compose herself….. looking up into the ceiling of the room.




A few deep breathes followed before she summoned enough courage to speak again.



Ella : He…..



Ella : He’s going to try again….
