Here we go again

Chapter 10

Alli's POV

I sat in the waiting room with Stu and Alan, "How many times have you done that?" Stu asked. "To many." I said. "I had to learn because if my K-9 got shot in the field when I was a Marine then I'd have to dress him and apply pressure somehow." I said. He nodded then looked at the area where Phil was going to walk out. I heard someone eating then looked seeing Alan munching on a watermelon, "Hey." Phil said. "You alright?" Stu asked. "Yeah." Phil said. I got up and hugged him, "You weren't scared for me where you?" Phil asked chuckling. "Um yeah." I said. "I am okay sweetheart." He said. "I know but habit." I said. He chuckled, "What was it?" I asked. "Bullet grazed my arm eight stitches." He said.

I rubbed his arm, "Doctor said that the dressing was done really well." Phil said. "What'd you say?" I asked. "My wife use to be a marine and she did it while my friends acted like little babies." He said. I laughed then pecked his lips and he pecked mine back, "At least you're alright." Stu said. "Yeah." Phil said and sat next to me. "Only cost $6 how's that even possible?" Phil asked. "How's any of this possible?" Stu asked. "How about you how you?" Phil asked. "Fine they said I have a concussion." I said.

Alan was really quiet, and I looked at him, "I mean if I was a foot to my left Stu, I'd be dead." Phil said. I wrapped my arms around him, "Don't say that." I said my heart breaking at that statement. Stu chuckled, "She was so worried about you she wouldn't stop looking at the doorway." Stu said. "He's my husband I have every right to worry." I said. They chuckled then I sighed, "What are we going to do?" I asked them. Phil sighed as Stu shrugged, "I am sorry guys this wasn't part of the plan." Alan said. We turned our heads and looked at Alan, "What plan Alan?" Phil asked. "I've said to much already." Alan said then got up.

I followed after him knowing Stu and Phil were behind me, "Alan what plan?" I asked him. "This is all Teddy's fault." Alan said. "What are you talking about Alan?" Phil asked. "Why is he even here he's not part of the wolf pack." Alan said. I looked at Alan, "Alan what did you do?" I asked him. "It's not my fault Teddy shouldn't have been sharing from his bag." Alan said. "What bag?" Stu asked. "The marshmallows I had a separate bag just for Teddy, but it was dark it was hard to keep track and then Phil almost sat on them." Alan said. Oh my god not again, "I couldn't tell which it was mayhem." Alan said.

"What did you do to the marshmallows Alan?" Phil asked. Alan didn't answer, "Alan." I said. He looked at me, "What did you do?" I asked. "Well isn't it obvious I spiked them with muscle relaxers." Alan said. I looked at Alan then at Stu and Phil who I know are pissed off, "And plus my ADHD medication." Alan said. "What?!" Phil yelled. "You drugged us again!" Stu yelled. "Not you I just wanted to knock out Teddy so we could enjoy the weekend." Alan said trying to defend himself.

"Enjoy the weekend Alan you told me that you didn't do anything." I said pointing at him. Alan looked away from me, "Alan you swore to god twice." I said. "I just wanted things to stay the same." Alan said. "Look at my face." Stu said. "You ruined my life!" He yelled. "You're not my friend." I said to Alan. "Don't say that Alli are you serious even in America?" He asked. "Yes!" I yelled at him. "Alan you're not my friend either." Phil said. "Oh god don't say that Phil." Alan said crying. "Don't start crying Alan." I said. "You're the bearded devil!" Stu yelled.

"You liked it you smiled at me when I held up the marshmallows." Alan said pointing at Stu. We looked at him confused, "Because I like marshmallows you fucking psycho!" Stu yelled and tackled Alan to the ground. "Hey, whoa, whoa, hold it stop!" Phil yelled. They were on the ground, "Guys, guys enough." I said. "Why! Why Alan Why!" Stu yelled. "Because we're the four best friends remember?" Alan asked. Stu let him go and I got him up, "Remember?" Alan asked. "Stu that's enough." Phil said. "Fuck." Phil said. I crouched down and sighed, "Guys we can't fall apart now we got to stick together." I said. We all were panting out of breath. "Alan what's that written on your belly?" Phil asked. "What huh?" Alan asked. Phil pulled his shirt up a little bit, "Lebua Hotel Saturday 6 pm did you write that?" Phil asked then looked at him. "No." Alan said. "Shit that's in twenty minutes." Phil said.

We went to the hotel, "What about England Wennecks we friends there?" Alan asked. "Yes Alan." Phil said. "Alan I already told you it was in the heat of the moment." I said looking at him. "We're still friends all over the world." I said. "Even Great Britain?" He asked. "Yeah." Phil said. I hummed a response. "Well what about you Stu?" Alan asked. "We'll see." Stu said.

We were walking when, "Gentlemen and lady follow me." A man said. Alan followed him while I just looked at the guys then we followed them and to a restaurant part of the hotel, "Here you go." The man said. "Well." A bald-headed guy said. "It's about time sit down." He said. I sat next to Phil, "Wow you guys looks like shit." He said. "Uh do we know you?" I asked. "Hey." The guy said to Alan. "Take off your fucking hat you're in a restaurant for chrissake." The guy said. Alan took his hat off, "Okay listen uh we have no clue what's going on here." I said. "You know they sell a plum whiskey here it's fucking unreal. Seriously it will absolutely fuck you up." The guy said then chuckled. "Oh, I'm sorry you guys already got fucked up, didn't you?" He asked then chuckles again.

"Uh listen I'm a little confused how did you...." I was saying. "Yeah you know what I'm a little fucking confused where's Chow?" He asked. Not Chow again seriously people, "Where is Chow with the fucking account code and the fucking password!" He yelled. He got really quiet and it startled us a little bit. "We don't know anything about any codes we're just trying to find our friend." Phil said. "My brother in law." Stu said. "Teddy." The bald guy said. "Yes Teddy." Phil said. "Have you seen him?" Stu asked. He pulled pictures out and showed us them, "Holy shit these are from last night." Phil said.

I looked up at him, "Who are you?" I asked. "I'm a businessman and I have invested a large chunk of capital in your friend Chow and in return he was supposed to transfer our profits electronically about five fucking minutes ago. So last night we took Teddy as insurance." The guy said. I put my hands over my face, "Oh my god is he okay?" Stu asked. "Oh my god I wasn't done talking." The guy said mocking Stu. "You tell Chow that we are having breakfast on the roof of this hotel tomorrow morning at 8 am now if he makes the transfer you will get Teddy if not hey you know it's Bangkok." He said. "That's your cue to get the fuck out." The guy said.

We all stood up Alan went to take his hat, "Hey you know what leave the hat." The guy said. We started walking out, "Alan leave the hat." Phil said. Alan left his hat then walked out with us. I leaned again the wall looking up thinking, "We're fucked Chow's dead what do we do now?" Stu asked. "I don't know." Phil said. "The guy doesn't give a shit about Chow this whole thing's about a fucking bank account." I said. Phil sighs, "Lets just go back to the hotel search Chow's body and hopefully the password's in his wallet or something." Phil said. "And what if it isn't, I mean they're going to kill Teddy." Stu said. "Just relax we have until 8 am tomorrow to figure it out." I said. "First the monkey now my hat." Alan said. I looked at him, "How much worse can this day get?" Alan asked. The elevator dinged, "Jesus Christ." Phil said as we walked out.
