Everything is a do or die.

Every breath they took, every steps they take; it can determine their ends.

Vegas panicked, with his mind going crazy as he was filled with both fear and anger. He looked at every corners of this warehouse.

He was sure that Pete was inside a large room and a cage with Venice but he cannot find any.

The fourth and third floor is slowly having large cracks and the rooms on the second floor are already destroyed.

"Where are they?!" Vegas asked and pull his hair in too much frustrations. "Pete! Pete!"

His was slowly loosing his voice, screaming Pete's name countless times. They all arrived in the first floor yet found nothing.

Time's men are already dead as their professional and well-trained bodyguards has ended their lives. The guards are also ordered to look outside.

In the first floor, there are large old paintings- too random to be found. It's subject is mostly about death with all of the skulls, crow and dark themed concepts.

"Phi! There is a door here!" Porché shouted when he removed one of the large plastics.

Vegas hurriedly ran towards Porché. There was indeed a door. To his surprise, it wasn't locked.

"Don't you think it's a trap?" Porsche asked and held Kinn's arms probably afraid of ghost.

"Trap or not, let us find Pete." Kim said and they all entered.

Khun was about to protest since he doesn't like to enter but Pol and Arm immediately dragged him to go with them. Khun shouted with so much stubbornness that Kim and Porche needs to help and cover his mouth.

It was a dark entrance, with too many stairs to take.

"It's a basement." Macau commented.

Vegas hurriedly takes the steps, without minding if this way will be the entrance to hell. It was indeed a basement, with two floors beneath the ground.

The only source of light was from a lamp at the corners.

Vegas looked down to see the very bottom of this basement.

"Pete!" He shouted Pete's name after he saw him.

Vegas body trembled and went down without hesitation.

"Vegas!" Pete also called his name.

"Damn you Pete! You are there!" Even Arm couldn't contain himself and called his friends name.

"Venice! You ugly!" It was Khun.

So when will he be kind to Venice?

All of them rushed towards Pete with so much willingness to get both Pete and Venice back and to escape.

"We only have seventeen minutes left." Porché reminded them and looked at his watch.

Upon arriving, Vegas wanted to rush to hug Pete and Venice so bad yet Pete shouted.

"Stop!"

They all paused. Vegas looked at Pete with both worried and confused look.

Pete and Venice wasn't inside the cage this time. They are facing each other almost 20 meters apart.

Vegas looked at Pete. Pete's face was pale, hugging the sleeping Venice and started crying.

"Don't come near me, please." Pete begged and started crying.

That view made Vegas heart crushed as if a hundred tons of rocks smashed his whole being.

"Pete...why?" Vegas asked softly.

"Let's go home! Now, come here!" Porche shouted to his friend yet Pete only shrugged.

"Don't... Please leave now." Pete said without looking at them.

"What the hell Pete? We came here to save you! You should he happy!" Khun shouted to his former bodyguard while Kinn only stopped him.

"Leave now!" Pete shouted.

"Phi Pete let's go home. Let's go home with Venice." Macau said.

Vegas takes a few steps forward but then Pete told him again to distance himself and ran away.

"I won't leave you here. Do you understand?!" Vegas asked angrily to Pete.

Vegas couldn't even looked at the situation. What stops Pete from escaping? He wasn't inside the cage. Running with them will not cause a trouble.

"Khun Time...spare me please." Pete said with his pleading voice.

Now it all just make sense. Behind the dark corners of the room, Time appeared.

He walked with evilness within his face. Time was pointing a gun towards Pete's direction.

"Fuck you Time!" Kim angrily cursed and hid Ché behind his back.

"Time! Are you crazy?" Kinn asked angrily. "What on Earth is happening to you? You fucking traitor!"

All of them cannot take a step since Pete and Venice life was at the risk state. One wrong move then it will be over.

"Hi." Time playfully greeted them and stood next to Pete.

"Don't you ever hurt them!" Vegas shouted. "I'll make sure that you'll meet hell!"

It seems like it wasn't any use to Time. "Put your guns down." He said and looked at Macau, Pol and Arm.

Vegas shouted in anger when he saw Time wrapped one of his hands around Pete's neck. Now, a knife was place at Pete's throat while his other hand that was holding a gun was pointed to Venice.

Macau, Pol and Arm didn't hesitate to place their guns on the floor.

"No! What the! Don't touch them!"

"You have an ugly face and even ugly manners?! Everything about you is ugly!" Khun spoke and called Pete's name.

Vegas felt like time stopped for a while. His eyes darted to his life. Pete was struggling so much.

Vegas wanted to ran into him and wipe away the tears escaping from his eyes. He wanted to hug Venice and makes sure that he won't grow up with this kind of environment and make sure that they will be safe.

"Even if I die here then at least, I'll bring the two family with me." Time said crazily.

"Why are you doing this Time?" Kinn asked furiously.

"What? Your family name is too famous. Maybe it will be better if I'm in the top!" Time said.

"Your pointless dumb fuck!" Vegas roared.

Time can only laugh with so much evilness. "Since the time is running and you know, maybe I will let some of you to escape let me ask you Vegas."

Vegas looked at Time coldly.

"I will. Choose if Pete or Venice will come with you. You can ran away! So choose only one Vegas. Who do you want to save? Pete or Venice?" Time asked.

All of them shouted in too much anger.

"Vegas! Vegas! Choose Venice!" Pete immediately said.

Vegas was dumbfounded. No. He cannot afford to lose both of them. Pete is his life and he cannot imagine himself without him. If he chose Venice then he knew that both Macau and Pete will never forgive him.

"Vegas! Choose Venice and I will choose Pete!" Khun shouted.

"Only one. Choose only one, Vegas." Time reminded him. "Pete or Venice?"

Vegas couldn't think properly. He will choose both.

"Vegas. Please choose Venice and leave." Pete said as he continues to cry.

"No! Why would I leave you here?!" Vegas shouted once again.

"So who are you going to choose? I'm getting impatient."

Time placed the knife on Pete's throat and place the gun near to Venice temples.

"That's a fucking kid Khun Time!" Pol shouted.

Vegas wanted to collapsed on the floor, his head was in mess and he couldn't think properly.

Who is he going to choose?

"Thirteen minutes left." Porché said reminded them again.

"Pete or Venice?"

Time's voice echoed on Vegas head. He couldn't think properly. He can no longer listen and he can no longer hear Kinn and Porsche's voice that were scolding and negotiating with Time.

Vegas eyes widened when they heard a gunshot.

"Pete!" He called his name.
