I never thought I would end up back here again. And after the events of last night, I really don’twantto be back here again.
But I have no choice.
I have to save Sammi from some very pissed off gangsters.
Now granted, I did kind of put her into this situation to begin with. I can own up to that. I’m nothing if not honest about owning up to when I fuck up.
But—in my defense—who the fuck goes back to a seedy, underground gambling den run by the Thai mafia?
I give my tuk-tuk driver the money for the ride, and he takes off like a bat out of hell.
Can’t blame him, really. This area of Bangkok isn’t the most savory. Hell, it’s downright dangerous.
But that’s what makes it fun.
I’m the bad boy of marine biology. Danger and fun go hand-in-hand for me.
Free diving with great white sharks? Fuck yes!
Go wading through the waters of the Congo and see if I can feed agoliath tigerfishby hand? Sign me the fuck up.
But to risk Sammi’s life—and those of her friends’—is something I won’t do.
The woman is my wife, after all.
I stroll up to the counter, and I’m greeted by the Thai love child of Gucci Mane and Justin Bieber.
The guy’s skinny jeans are so tight that I can tell his little cocktail sausage of a dick is being crushed by the peanuts he calls balls.
“Yo, man, what can I do for you?”
The way he enunciates his words has me thinking he’s watched way too many Tyrese movies.
“Hey, mate. I need in downstairs. There are some people here I need to see.”
“Sorry, man. We only have food. No downstairs here.”
I get it. This place is meant to be some big secret. It’s an illegal, underground gambling den run by the fucking mob. Of course it’s supposed to be some big secret.
And I know that in order for me to get in, I’m supposed to give this guy some cryptic phrase or make some special order from the menu. But there’s a problem with that.
I don’t fucking remember what it is.
When we showed up last night, it was Becky’s man, Liam, who had done all the talking. The bloke knew just what to say to get us down there.
I was impressed by his knowledge of the Bangkok underground gambling scene. And mate has one hell of a talent for gambling. Like, Stephen Hawking kind of gifted.
And if I had been paying any amount of attention last night, I’d likely remember what it was that he said or did to get us inside.
But hindsight is 20/20 right?
And I don’t have Liam here to get me in.
