Kongpob’s Pov---------

I looked at the overflowing shopping cart in front of me. I had just gone in the grocery store for some milk, dang it. I knew who was responsible for this.

“Sam Suthiluck, get your ass over here.... Right now”

A little old lady gasped at my crudeness.

“Sorry...”

I said.

A little boy with light brown hair came running around the corner with as many cereal boxes as his arms could carry. That was my seven year old heartthrob. He somehow found room in the cart for the boxes and grinned up at me.

“I got everything on my list. We can go now.”

“Let me see this so called list of yours”

I replied, holding out one hand while putting the other on my hip. It was my most intimidating strict father stance.

“Papa...”

He tapped his temple with his index finger.

“It’s all up here.”

“Smartass...”

I grumbled.

He held out his hand, wiggling his fingers. I huffed and pulled a coin out of my pocket and placed it over his open palm. We had a no cursing rule that was making my kid a fortune.

“Thanks Papa....”

He said happily.

“Yeah, yeah...”

I replied. Right then, A shrill sound of a crying kid filled the air.

“Time to go buddy”

I announced, pushing the cart towards the checkout lanes. We had just made it to the end of the aisle when someone crashed their cart into mine.

“Would you watch where you are going ??”

The lady snapped loud enough to be heard over the screaming little girl in her cart.

I put on a shocked face.

“Oh my God, that’s a brilliant idea !! I will surely do that, Thank you...”

Unlike cursing, sarcasm didn’t cost me anything.

“Let’s go Sammy”

“Damn you !!”

The woman shouted, clearly offended. She began ranting in a pitch so high I doubt even deaf  could hear her.

I rolled my eyes and started to walk away, but my little one seemed to have other plans. He walked over to the woman’s cart and offered the crying kid a lollipop. He always had one or two in his pockets.

“Please don’t cry...”

She stopped, only sniffling a little as she took the candy. My kid had superpowers.

“Come on Sammy...”

I said softly. This time he followed me.

“You are a pretty cool guy, you know that ??”

I ruffled his soft hair.

“Now help me unload all this junk”

We made quick work of unloading the cart, and with a swipe of my credit card, we were out of there. I opened the trunk of my new black SUV and Sammy helped me put all the unnecessary snacks in the back. Then I watched him closely as he pushed the cart to its rightful place.

“For the love of God, would you shut up ?? You creepy kid !!”

The women, who was creepy herself, was walking out from the store with the poor crying girl.

“Don’t talk to her like that !!”

A boy about Sammy’s size yelled back.

The creepy women rounded on the little guy with fire in her eyes. She dug her nails into his little arm.

“You. Do. Not. Yell. At. Me.”

“Let go,”

The poor boy whimpered.

“You are hurting me !!”

Sammy came back to stand beside me, his eyes worried as he watched the scene.

“Papa ??”

“I don’t give a shit. I want you and that little brat to shut up and get in the car,”

She practically screamed at the boy.

“Get in the car”

I told my son. He hesitated, but did as I told him.

“You can’t tell me what to do. You are not my mother !!”

The boy shouted at the woman defiantly.

When she raised her hand to hit him, I completely lost it.... I was over there before she could even blink.

“You hit that kid, and I will show you the hell, lady !!”

“This is none of your business”

She snapped back.

“Robby, get in the damn car. I will teach you a lesson when we get home”

She started putting her bags in the trunk of her luxury car, like I wasn’t even there.

Something in me snapped.... I shoved her hard, causing her to shriek and fall over inside the trunk, I locked the door and then I grabbed the little girl and took Robby’s hand. He was too busy looking over his shoulder in shock to watch where we were running as I pulled him along. I put them both in the back seat with Sammy.

“Buckle in !! Buckle in !!”

The creepy women was screaming and knocking from inside, and boy she was getting the attention. People were started to gather around her car. So....I locked the doors of my car and took off.

When we were safely out of the parking lot, the reality of the situation crashed down on me.

I had just kidnapped a couple of kids !!

I was either going to prison or the mental house.

For a few minutes there was a complete silence. The kids were obviously as shocked about this as I was.

“Hi. I am Sam Suthiluck, you can call me Sammy and I am seven. That man who kidnapped you is my Papa, His name is Kongpob”

Leave it to Sammy for making it more obvious and awkward.

“What’s your name ??”

“I am Robin Rojnapat, you can call me Robby. I am seven too”

The other boy replied.

“And that’s my little sister Sophie. She’s three”

“Ummmm Robby !!”

I started, not having a clue what to do. This was a new territory. I had never kidnapped a child before.

“Could you tell me who your parents are ?? I should probably contact them”

That seemed like a wise thing to do.

“Our Dad’s name is Arthit Rojnapat”

Robby answered.

Arthit Rojnapat. Not ringing any bells. Of course Sammy and I had only shifted here (Viang Pha Mork) a month ago, but it was one of those small cozy towns where everybody knew everybody’s business. I was obviously off to a good start.

“Do you know his phone number ??”

Robby called out a phone number, and I quickly punched it into my cell. This was going to be interesting.

After a few rings, I got to his voice mail.

“Ummmm. Hi, My name is Kongpob Suthiluck. I don’t really know how to say this, but I have your kids with me, and I was thinking maybe you would like them back. So yeah… call me, as soon as possible”

I smacked my forehead.

The kids were quiet again as I pulled up to my house. The house was way too big for just Sammy and I, but all the houses in this neighborhood were. I was either surrounded by a lot of rich people or a lot of people in serious debt. The landscaping was beautiful regardless.

I thought Sammy would run straight to his room, but he and Robby each took a couple of grocery bags before going inside. Robby was a cute little guy. His hair was darker than Sammy’s, and he had Hazel eyes. Both he and his sister were dressed like little posh people, so I hoped Sammy didn’t get them too messy. I was going to be in enough trouble with their parents as it was.

Little Sophie was still sitting in the car, she was too small to get down on her own. I held out my arms, and she let me help her down without a fuss. She had the most adorable brown curls, and her soft cheeks were stained with tears.

“Don't worry sweetie...”

I grabbed the rest of the bags and motioned for her to follow me.

“I think we could all use some ice cream... What's say ??”

I heard the boys chattering away as they ran from one room to another. Sammy was giving Robby a speed tour, I supposed. I quickly put away the groceries before turning back to Sophie who was staring up at me innocently. I picked her up and sat her on the counter.

“Well Miss Sophie, would you like some ice cream now ??”

“Yes please....”

She replied in quite possibly the sweetest voice I had ever heard. I gently wiped her cheeks with my thumbs before grabbing everything we would need.

“Boys !! Sophie and I are eating ice cream, come down if you want some !!”

I heard their thunderous footsteps coming down the stairs.

They each got a couple of scoops that I let them decorate however they liked with the available topping in the fridge. There were sprinkles, gummy bears, whipped cream, and different flavors of syrup all over the place before they were finished.

“Papa, Robby’s dad builds houses !! Isn't that cool ??”

Sammy beamed.

“Really ??”

I asked Robby.

He nodded.

“He and my uncles build houses and big buildings”

'At least they weren’t cops'

I thought.

“That’s awesome”

I smiled, ruffling his hair. He froze for a second, but then smiled at me before getting back to his ice cream.

I pulled out my phone and began to search on Google, 'Rojnapat Construction' was listed as a leading construction company, in big bold letters.

“Alright kiddos, let’s get you all cleaned up and then go meet your dad. I am sure he is worried sick about you both”

'And preparing to kill me'

I thought again.

Sammy and Robby ran to use the bathroom upstairs while I took care of Sophie’s hands and cheeks with a damp cloth in kitchen. She smiled at me.

“Thank you, Kong”

“For what ??”

I asked.

“Ice cream, silly”

She giggled.

“You are welcome. Maybe you can convince your daddy not to let the police take me away now”

I smiled, picking her up.

“Let’s go guys !!”

The ride was a lot less quiet this time. Sammy and Robby were apparently best friends now, and they were even nice enough to keep Sophie entertained. I followed the GPS’s directions and pulled into the Rojnapat company’s parking lot, right next to the police cruiser.

Fantastic...

Before I could stop them, the boys were running inside. Sophie held up her arms for me to pick her up.

“Ready to see your Daddy ??”

I asked. She wrapped her little arms around my neck and nodded.

I didn’t even make it to the door with her before it flung open.

“You have got some nerve just waltzing up here, Man !! Who the hell do you think you are ??”

“You must be Mr. Arthit Rojnapat. I assure you they were safer with me than the Nanny Nutjob”

I said calmly. The handsome dimple faced man in front of me was obviously not happy.

“I am not their damn nanny !! I am Arthit’s girlfriend !!”

The creepy women was here too. Great.

“That’s him, Art !! That’s the crazy man that attacked me and kidnapped our poor little Robby and Sophie”

Her shrill voice caused Sophie to bury her face in my neck. I didn’t blame her, so I held her tighter.

“Arrest him, Prem !!”

The tall and scary looking officer started to approach me, but the door flung open again. Seriously, it was like something from a K Drama. A beautiful lady stormed out, but before she could get too far, a tall and bright faced man came running out after her.

“Jenny wait !!”

He grabbed her arms.

“Let me go Bright !! I am gonna kill that phycho !!”

She screamed

This was getting ridiculous. Poor Sophie was clinging to me for dear life, so I rubbed her back gently.

“Just calm down Jenny...”

The officer replied.

“I will take him in”

“I am not talking about him !!”

She yelled, fighting to get free.

“I am talking about this Lilly!! Because she is the real phycho...”

Well, that got everyone’s attention.

“What are you talking about, Jenny ??”

Arthit asked, his voice deadly.

“Robby has deep scratch marks on his arm. He said Lilly grabbed him and was about to hit him when the other kid’s Papa cut in and saved them. She even shouted at little Sophie...”

Jenny said through her teeth. It looked like the heat was off me, for a moment.

The creepy women shrieked.

"Art, honey surely you don’t believe them"

Arthit turned to his son's way and I saw Robby nodding his head in confirmation of Jenny's statement.

“Get in your car and get out of my sight... right this instant..... before I do something deadly to you Lilly !!”

Arthit growled. It was kind of hot.

“Now !!”

Another shrill scream was heard, making my ears buzz and then the sound of tires were squealing as the psycho sped out of the parking lot.

Sophie waved at the retreating car,

“Bye-Bye....”

I loved that kid.

Crap. Now... All eyes were on me again.

“So....”

I cleared my throat.

“If you take your kids, I will get mine, and we will just get out of your hair”

Sophie tightened her hold on my neck again. Guess she liked me too.

“I appreciate you helping my children....”

Arthit said begrudgingly

“But you could have let me know. Robby has my number. There is no excuse for that”

“Check your voice mail, Mr.Genius”

I saved his kids from the she-devil, all though I also kidnapped them, but I really wasn’t the bad guy here.

I swear, steam came out of his ears, but I didn’t care. I pushed past him and marched inside.

“Sammy !!”

He came running around the corner.

“It’s time to go...”

“Yes Papa”

He pouted and headed for the car with me close behind him.

Robby ran out after us.

“Kong ?? Where are you going ??”

Shit...

“Honey, I have got to get home”

That was when I realized Sophie was still in my arms.

“Oh... sorry”

I set her down. Now they were both looking up at me with sad faces.

Double shit...

“Look. Here is my phone number. I would kidnap you again, but there is a scary cop outside that might arrest me. You guys be good, and I will see you later. Okay ??”

I made a quick getaway, passing the huddle of arguing adults and jumping in my SUV. Sammy was already strapped in and grinning.

“That was so cool, Papa !! Can we kidnap them again tomorrow ??”

**********************************

Few hours ago---

Arthit's Pov---------

“Where is my damn cell phone ??”

I lifted the papers on my desk, shifting them around in my search. I had it when I came in this morning, then at the meeting with Bright. It was probably still in his office, so I headed down the hall and reached for the doorknob.

“Ughhhhh !! Oh God… Bright !!… Yes baby !!”

My hand jerked away from the door. I would need to bleach my brain now and possibly buy a new phone.

Apparently little Matt was with his nanny, because his mommy and daddy were working on baby number two, in Bright’s office. I shouldn’t be surprised. My best friend did enjoy fun times at the office...Often.

I went out to the front desk. We needed to hire a new secretary, but I didn’t have the patience to deal with it. Being the single parent had its disadvantages. I had two kids, and a girlfriend too but that did nothing to stop boys and girls eyeing me as their potential Target.

After enough time for Jenny and Bright to finish their 'quickie at work', I decided to head back up and get my phone. However, I was stopped when Lilly ran through the door without my children.

“Art !!”

She threw her arms around me, whimpering into my shirt.

“Lilly, where are the kids ??”

I asked, taking her by the arms and pushing her back a little. I would have been more caring with her, but those kids were my life.

“Art, some crazy man at the grocery store attacked me. I tried to fight him off, but he crashed into me with a shopping cart and shoved me into the trunk of my car and locked it. I didn’t even see where he came from”

She rambled hysterically.

“Lilly, where are my children ??”

I asked slowly.

She closed her eyes and shook her head.

“He took them. Baby, I am so sorry. Sophie was screaming, Robby was yelling.... It was so horrible”

“BRIGHT !!”

I grabbed the phone on my desk and called the police station.

Bright and Jenny came running down the hall. Lilly managed to tell them what happened while I talked to an officer. He said they would send someone right over.

I dropped the phone and collapsed against the wall.

My children had been kidnapped.

Lilly tried to comfort me, but I shrugged her off.

I didn’t want to be comforted. I wanted my kids. They were probably so scared, and I wasn’t there for them.

“Prem’s here”

Bright said softly. I knew he was worried too.

Prem was our friend from college days. He joined police force after the graduation.

The more Prem talked, the angrier I became. He asked questions after question to me and Lilly, about what had happened and who might want to hurt my kids. We were wasting time... I wanted to be out there looking for them. Who knew what that psycho was doing to my poor little kids ??

This had to be about money. I would pay anything to get them back. I just needed them back.

“Dad !!”

My head snapped up as Robby ran in, with another little boy.

“This is my friend Sammy. He just moved here from Bangkok”

I quickly swept him up in my arms.

“Oh... Thank God !!”

I squeezed him tightly.

“Where is your sister Robby ??”

“Dad...”

He whined, embarrassed by my display of affection in front of his friend.

“Calm down. She’s outside with Kongpob”

I handed him to Bright and rushed outside, not caring who followed me.

The psycho man was holding my little girl, and I was beyond angry.

“You have got some nerve just waltzing up here, Man !! Who the hell do you think you are ??”

“You must be Mr. Arthit Rojnapat. I assure you they were safer with me than the Nanny Nutjob.”

He was out of his damn mind.

I heard Lilly screaming, but I was too upset to focus on anything but that man. How could he be so damn calm after kidnapping two innocent children.

Jenny’s vicious words got through me, just few seconds later.

“Let me go Bright !! I am gonna kill that phycho!!”

She screamed. I felt the same way, but Prem tried to calm her down.

“I am not talking about him !!”

She yelled, trying to get out of Bright’s grasp.

“I am talking about Lilly, she is the real phycho !!”

My blood ran cold.

“What are you talking about Jenny ??”

“Robby has deep scratch marks on his arm. He said Lilly grabbed him and was about to hit him when the other kid’s Papa cut in and saved them. She even shouted at little Sophie too”

She explained.

Lilly ?? Lilly hurt my son ?? She was a fucking preschool teacher, but Robby was not a liar, I knew that and I trust my son completely.
So, I turned to him for confirmation and when he nodded his head. I was furious... I was shaking badly, She needed to get out of here before I killed her myself.

No one hurt my kids.

Lilly froze next to me.

"Art, honey surely you don’t believe them..."

“Get in your car and get out of my sight... right this instant... Before I do something deadly to you Lilly .......... Now !!”

I clenched my fists, trying to control myself. I couldn’t go to prison for murder, but it sounds tempting in my current pissed off state. I wished Bright would let Jenny go, so Lilly could at least get her ass kicked. When she was gone, I felt myself relax a little. I turned back to the man with my child. Funny, he didn’t look even a little bit psychotic now that I knew the truth, rather He was quite good looking.

“So… if you take your kid, I will get mine, and we will just get out of your hair”

He said, and Sophie surprised me by hanging onto him.

“I appreciate you helping my children, but you could have let me know. Robby has my number. There is no excuse for that”

What was he thinking ?? he had no idea the horrible scenarios that had been playing inside my head.

“Check your voice mail, Mr. Genius”

He snapped before storming past me.

I turned to go after him, but Jenny caught my arm.

“Are you crazy Arthit ?? That man stopped your children from being abused, and you are being rude to him ?? What the hell is wrong with you ??”

“Look, I am sorry. I know… It’s just… God, Jenny. I thought someone was out there torturing my kids. I couldn’t find my phone, so I never got the message”

I grabbed a handful of my hair out of frustration.

“Oh...”

Bright cringed.

“Sorry about that, bro. Your phone was in my office”

He flinched when I glared at him.

"Dude, don’t worry. We put it in a drawer before we... You know"

“I know what happened next, Bright, I heard it, loud and clear...”

Jenny glared at me, I needed to stop snapping at everyone before I got kicked my ass off.

I heard tires squeal again as the man’s SUV sped away. Well, that was just great. He left before I could thank him properly.

“Daddy ??”

I dropped to my knees and took my two little ones in my arms.

“I love you two so much, my sweets”

I pulled back to look at them. They both looked a little sad.

“Robby, buddy I am so sorry that Lilly hurt you.”

He never liked any of the women I dated, but there was nothing he could have done to deserve that.

“She was screaming at Sophie...”

He whispered.

“She was just crying because we were hungry.”

I felt so sad and guilty, I hugged them again.

“I am so sorry kiddos. She will never hurt you again”

I stood up, holding them both. I was happy that Robby let me hold him even though he was upset with me right now, that boy has a temper of devil.

“Are you guys still hungry ??”

“Kong gave us some ice cream”

Robby said.

“With sprinkles”

Sophie smiled.

“Can Sammy come over sometime, Dad ?? He showed me his room. I want to show him mine. Please...”

Robby asked. Sammy must have been Kong’s son.

I took the kids inside.

“We will see, okay ?? I will have to talk to his Papa first”

“Okay”

They conceded.

“Thanks Dad”

Jenny eventually convinced me to let the kids go. She took them with her to pick up her son Matt from his nanny's house. She will take them to her house after that , I will pick them up in the evening.

Bright entered my office room.

“Here is your phone...”

He said, setting my I-Phone on my desk and grinning like an idiot.

“You have got a missed call and a voice mail...”

I threw a notepad at him as he ran out of my office. I sighed and picked up the phone, opening my voicemail to hear one new message.

“Ummm. Hi. My name is Kongpob Suthiluck. I don’t really know how to say this, but I have your kids with me, and I was thinking maybe you would like them back. So yeah… call me, as soon as possible”

I let out a snort. Then a chuckle. Before I knew it, I was laughing loudly. Kongpob Suthiluck was crazy, but for that, I was eternally grateful.
