Chapter 1

Tragedy

It was a sad and depressing night as Mitch Kernsby, said goodbye to his mother and the

taxi driver as she was on her way to the hospital. She was lucky, that she was one of the

very few who was able to get treated in a local government hospital. The rest had no

money to afford the taxi driver and the hospital’s fees. Mitch was a hard-working boy;

he did everything he could just to be able to afford the fees. The other sons and

daughters were lazy and were busy drinking and gambling.

That night, Mitch was sad and worried about his mother, so on the way home he

realized he had some money left in his pocket so he stopped by one of his favorite food

spots. Mitch sighed as he sat down on the same seat, cried a little as he remembered the

memories of his younger self begging his mother to bring him to his favorite restaurant.
 Ongarjphanchai - 2

She would smile and tell the young boy, “Boy, one day when I’m gone, and you’ve got

yourself a girlfriend she wouldn’t be as nice as I am and you’re going to miss me.”

Mitch cried, as he dipped his chips into the ketchup full of his tears. He came

home and looked at his sick dad sleeping on a couch with a newspaper from a city

garbage can, and carried his dad to bed. Mitch walked out of the front porch, looked at

the beautiful night sky and prayed

Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among

women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray

for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Mitch didn’t sleep well that night, with the apprehensive feelings of the many

ongoing things inside his head. He woke up, half-dead and oblivious. “Something feels

wrong about this, I feel pessimistic and sedimental.” The next thing he found was his

father coming back to their house, all smelly from digging up trash for newspapers. He

then read out the newspaper headline, “One of the very few lucky pre-survivors of the

pandemic, Lindsay Kernsby has died in a brutal car crash” with a picture of a wrecked

taxi.

Mitch came to a cessation and just stood there blank and overwhelmed while his

father was on his knees having a mental breakdown. He walked off the door, while his

dad was screaming to him inside the house to stop him from doing something stupid. He

walked to the middle of a busy road, and luckily a car that was about to slam into him
 Ongarjphanchai - 3

stopped before any damage could have been done. He started to feel angry and started

shouting “Why?!” “Why must I endure such pain” “What have I done to you God?”

His father just laid down there, gripping their only family photo with each other

tightly. For that whole week, Mitch hasn’t gone to mining simply because he was just in

so much pain and anger towards God.

For the next 2 years, he has stolen and sold the stolen goods, worked as a miner,

and many other things just to get money to treat his dad as well as he can. Mitch is 19

now, and his dad is about 68. He eventually worked his way through until he was able

to afford for the taxi and the hospital. He brought his dad with him in the taxi, just to

make sure it ends well this time. Surprisingly, it did end well because his dad managed

to reach the hospital and get treated.

Many months pass by as his sick dad lay on his hospital bed with Mitch next to

him. Mitch sat their counting money as his father was eating his hospital food. His

father made a face as he eats the bland and disgusting food. “Dad, you know I still have

some money left so if you come out of the hospital fine and dandy, I’ll take you to a

fine Italian restaurant.” He smiles, “Alright, but make sure you got the bucks to pay for

the food, because it isn't cheap if I’m the one eating’. Do you understand boy?” Mitch

laughs at his dad’s greediness, "Okay, dad you got to chill because this money I earned

isn't something easy to get.”

Many, many months of sleeping in the hospital passes by of being stuck to

horrible hospital food since it’s free. Mitch would usually go to a nearby low-class

market and find something tastier to eat than the hospital food.
 Ongarjphanchai - 4

Chapter 2

Survival

Sometimes the market would sell really bad quality and rotten food, and Mitch would

have to take a really long walk to a fishing spot in between the city and the countryside.

He would usually catch a trout, sometimes a small cod fish, but if he’s feeling good and

having a lucky day, he’d catch a huge sea bass. You need finesse when catching a fish.

It takes a lot of patience and sweat, but a big fish is an accolade from your hard work.

Make a campfire nearby, scale it, grab some wild herbs you can find nearby and maybe

a lemon from the market. Place it near the campfire and you’ve got then most perfect

sea bass ever.

He would save some, share it to his father and make him happy and proud as a

cooking teacher to his son. Mitch is a handsome young man, sometimes he’d get
 Ongarjphanchai - 5

seduced by some nurses from the hospital. Then he’d come back to his father’s room

with his face all red and looking shy. His father would look at him and laugh at him,

and he would start telling stories about himself when he was in his prime. “You know,

back when I was a young handsome man, I was about your age and I would just walk

into random clubs with my leather overcoat and a fedora.

All the cheap women there would be screaming and they’d push me into rooms

and start doing their thing. I didn’t care, but then one day I met your mother. She had a

thick New York accent, short curly hair, a white dress and a beautiful face. She was the

only one that wouldn’t be screaming for me. She’d just serve me a glass of beer, and

she’ll just walk away.

She was the only one whore that I was crazy about. It took me 2.5 years for me

to get together with her, she’s like an angel given by God to me.” “So, if you’re going to

get a girl you choose her wisely. She better has short curly hair, a thick New York

accent, a white dress, and a good personality that’s going to save you from tearing your

own life apart.”

“Uh, thanks dad?”

“Yes, Mio figlio, when I pass away, you’re going to use my useful advice to get

yourself a girl.” “Okay dad”, Mitch replied. A couple of months passed by, and his

father was looking finer than ever. Mitch took him back home by foot, because he

doesn't have money to afford for a taxi. And he was just simply too lazy and out of

energy to work while his father was in the hospital.

 Ongarjphanchai - 6

They came out of the hospital, his father smiling, him smiling, and just feeling it

all nonchalant again. “Dad, this is going to be a long journey. Are you up for this?”

“Yes, but if it wasn’t for your useless lazy butt, we could’ve taken the taxi and make life

much easier”, complained Mr. Kernsby. Mitch fake laughed it off, with a tremendous

amount of regret inside. They walked for 3 days, exhausted, ravenous, and stagnant.

They were surviving with Mr. Kernsby’s culinary skills. Mitch hasn’t eaten his

dad’s food for a long time, and the fish he cooks are always perfect, savory, and wasn’t

bland. Mitch devoured the meal, along with a morsel his dad makes with some random

fruits from the market.

Well, for the whole journey Mr.Kernsby was complaining every 10 seconds of

body aching. He even lied down on the floor and started moaning really loud sometimes

and people would walk past by and look at him. At the last day, Mitch felt apathetic,

and had to carry his dad’s heavy and fat body for a day. And of course, no surprise

Mitch even lied down on the ground and started moaning really loudly from back ache.

They reached home finally and they both just fell on the ground exhausted. Mitch

woke up the next day with his dad carrying a big stick in front of him. “Oh son, this is

going to teach you not to be a lazy little useless sack of cow poop again.”

Mitch couldn’t stand up for a week after being spanked by his dad, and he would

sometimes complain why Mitch isn’t doing the work. “Dad, you were the one who was

spanking my butt the other day and now you’re putting the blame on me?!”

Mr.Kernsby laughed and said, “Whatever you’re dealing with it is neither my fault nor
 Ongarjphanchai - 7

my problem kid, now deal with it yourself and start working your butt of in my fields so

we can start chomping, or else we all starve to death.”

Mitch may be handsome and caring, but he is an irascible man and now all he

wants to do is just smack his father’s head because every word he said there is just

irritable.

Chapter 3

Family

The next day, Mr. Kernsby receives a message from an old Italian friend, Alfonzo

congratulating him on surviving from the disease. He offered a free meal from his

restaurant. And of course, why would a poor old man with a lazy son reject such an

offer? He accepted the invitation and invited Mitch. From lying down on the haystack

and reading newspaper, he came jumping and rushing towards Mr.Kernsby.

 Ongarjphanchai - 8

Both of them picked their most high-end clothing they have. Mitch had his hair

slicked back, wore a tuxedo he won from a gambling game. Unfortunately, Mr. Kernsby

doesn’t have any hair left but for some reason he pomaded on his shiny head anyway. A

luxurious limousine picks Mr. Kernsby and Mitch to the restaurant. Mitch had his

mouth wide open since he heard about the invitation. “Quit acting like a child, I

shouldn’t have invited you here”, said Mr. Kernsby. “Okay dad”, said Mitch

embarrassingly.

They came in and were immediately greeted by Mr. Alfonzo. “Ciao.” “Good to

see you, Alfonzo. What’s on the menu today?”

“My mother, she would be so honored if you tried her caponata.”

“Excellente. Bravo, Bravo.”

“Molto bene. Oh, let me get you a chair. Please, sit down”, said Mr. Alfonzo

while he pulls out the chair for Mr. Kernsby and Mitch.

“And to drink, a chianti, I’ve been saving this just for you.”

“Bene, Bene.”

Mr. Alfonzo pours the chianti for Mitch but since he’s 17 he can’t drink. Well,

it’s an expensive wine so why not let it go. He drinks it anyways. Mitch still has his

mouth wide open. Mr. Kernsby looks at him, “Do you want to know something child?”

“What is it dad? I’m enjoying my experience looking at that big and expensive clock

tick-”

“You are a disappointment, my child.”, interrupts Mr. Kernsby.

*Mitch imitates baby cry sound*

 Ongarjphanchai - 9

Mr. Kernsby sighs. “Aw, don’t cry, baby don’t cry”, Mr. Kernsby immediately

throws a hard backhand on the back of Mitch’s head.

“Hmm, I don’t think that slap felt good right dad? The back of my head isn’t

smooth and shiny.”

Chapter 4

La Scomparsa

Mr. Kernsby’s face got red and was very eager to just pull out a shotgun and blow it on

Mitch’s head. “Oh, you shut your mouth boy, or I will kick you out of this restaurant.”

Mr. Alfonzo interrupts with a plate of caponata. “What here is the matter between you

two. Can’t seem to act more civilized like grown up men?” Both of them went quiet but

Mitch couldn’t stop giggling. “Eat up and be quiet, child or else I will beat you up

when we go back home.”

Unfortunately, those were the last interaction and bonding between the father and

the son of the Kernsby family. A bunch of men in black tuxedos and fedoras, parked
 Ongarjphanchai - 10

their black cars in front of the restaurant. “Mamamia”, said Mr. Alfonzo as those men

grabbed their Tommy guns and sprayed raining bullets all over the restaurant. “Get to

cover, dad!”. Mr. Kernsby did not react in time and was killed by two bullets on the

back of his head. Mitch was badly injured. Both mentally and physically. His dad died,

his mother died, and hungry for food.

Mitch came back home with a small burn on his arm. He asked himself, “Why?”

“Why does this happen to me.” “I don’t have parents and money. What am I going to

do?” It was a hard month for Mitch to go through. Sleepless nights. Crying every day

and all day. He couldn’t eat, stand up, or do anything.

He would walk to the park everyday just to make his day just a little bit better.

“Nature heals”, said Mitch. He would wait until the owner of the shop would go out and

order food so he could steal some bird food to feed the birds. Going to the park really

made him feel nice and he was getting better until one day, Mr. Alfonzo shows up. “Mr.

Alfonzo?” “Ciao, mi figlio. I’m very sorry your padre passed away.

I’ve known Edward for a long, long time. We were in the same sandbox together

when we were babies. We robbed together. Went to prison together. Until one day I fled

from a mafia gang with your padre. We hid the stash in a basement. But then your padre

was lazy and didn’t bother finding a job. He said the stash was enough. I started my

own business, my own restaurant with my wife. My padre died when I was a kid. Your

grandfather too. It’s hard but eventually you’ll get through it.”

Chapter 5

Recovery

A couple of months had passed by, months of depression and anger. Mitch would hang

out with Mr. Alfonzo, sometimes they would help each other cook, and sometimes

when Mitch is feeling down, Mr. Alfonzo will sit down with him and give him some of

his best advice. He did heal, but not completely, and plans to revenge whoever is behind

the murder of his father. He has no choice, but to get involved in crime.

Mitch manages to do some mischief by sneaking up in an alley on two guys, and

then knocking them out with a steering wheel that he pulled from their unlocked

vehicle. “How careless”, Mitch trash talks. Of course, like a sneaky thief, he hides the

bodies at the back of the car’s trunk and then steals $30 from them. He steals their car

keys and the car as well, and throws them off into a pond full of alligators.

During his 3 months of mischief, he manages to steal and destroy many integral

things that belong to the mafia, and really managed replenish his devoid wallet.

Eventually, when he tried to rob a mafia hideout by himself, he got caught. He faced 10
 Ongarjphanchai - 12

years in prison for unarmed robbery. Mr. Alfonzo finds out about this, and was really

disappointed in Mitch. He always had seen Mitch as a lovely boy who forgives and

forgets, but now he’s a paltry child with dearth of honor and respect.

When Mitch was released, Mr. Alfonzo explained to him that the police are

corrupt, and were on the mafia’s side, and that the boss of the mafia runs the town.

Mitch was extremely angry; and didn’t know what to do. One day, he goes into a bar

and meets an American, named Davis. Davis works at the bar, as a bartender and is

often appreciated by people. Mitch walks up to him, looking very sad and tired.

Davis asks him if something happened, and that maybe he can comfort him.

Mitch shrugged it off and insists that it is none of his business. Two men in black suits

walk in the bar, and then proceeds to attack Mitch. Mitch falls over the counter and on

to Davis. Davis runs away, but one of the men has Mitch tied up, and another with a gun

pointing at him.

“Any last words?”, said the men in the black suit, and as soon as he was going

to pull the trigger, Davis blows his head off with a shotgun, and throws a bottle of wine

at the other guy. “Those are The Father’s men; we have to run.” Davis quickly drives

them off just before the cops came. He takes Mitch to his house, and into his own

repository.

“Mr. Bartender, you are in serious trouble, you just killed two men back there.”

“Don't worry, I’ve killed plenty of those evil men. They’ve killed my family.”

“They killed my father as well. I’ve killed their men and stole a lot of their

stuff. I got caught once by the police.”

 Ongarjphanchai - 13

“What’s your name customer?”

“I’m Mitch, you?”

“I’m Davis.”

“Mitch, here is an exposition, if you want to rebel against them, you need a

team. I’m willing to be proponent and help you if you want.”

“I will think about your proposition. You know what, meet me at 3pm

tomorrow”.

Mitch and Davis were a fantastic duo, they pulled off many robberies and

attacks with ease and success. They hid from the police, but are widely known to the

public, and they managed to get more recruits to their opposition. Plenty more men who

would help them achieve their goal.

Chapter 6
 Ongarjphanchai - 14

A New Life

One day, Mr. Alfonzo calls him, and asked if he was able to hang out at his new

restaurant or not. Mitch accepts his invitation. He walks into the restaurant, and the first

thing he sees is an ambitious Italian chef running up to him, offering him his mother’s

special meal, a chair, and some chianti.

“Your mother’s composite tagliatelle has always been my favorite food, and always

has given me the feeling of satisfaction just like the first time I tried it. Very original,

Mr. Alfonzo.”, Mitch says with a big smile on his face.

“Thank you very much, son.”

“You can enjoy your pasta, but I have to talk to you about something.”

“Your home, you live in a broken-down farm alone. Aren’t you sad?”

“I wish I had more, Mr. Alfonzo, but this is all I have and I’m happy.”

Mr. Alfonzo grabs a sheet of paper.

“Now, you must know, because my food is so good, about more than a thousand

people come to my restaurant every day, I have a plethora of cash, and I don’t even

know what to spend it on.”

Mitch laughs avidly.

“Why are you laughing? It’s true.”

“Anyways, I have something to prescribe to you and your devoid wallet.”

 Ongarjphanchai - 15

Mr. Alfonzo offers him the paper, and asks Mitch to inscribe his signature on it.

“For you own safety, I want you to stop messing with the mafia.”

“I will give you my penthouse, and you do not have to pay for anything, but you are

circumscribed, and you are proscribed with messing with them, or I will take the

penthouse back.”

“Thank you very much, Mr. Alfonzo, but why would you do that? You’re not my

dad or anything. Is this an imposition, or wait- are you with them Mr. Alfonzo?”

“Son, I work all day in my restaurant and I do not have any time to waste on some

crime. I have a lot of money already. This is just for your safety and your scanty

wallet.”

Mitch continues to dine with Mr. Alfonzo for another 20 minutes and then leaves.

Like a true religious Italian, Mr. Alfonzo gives Mitch the scripture for him to read when

he is in pain. He drove his car to his new place, and was extremely marveled by how

expensive everything is compared to his worn-down farm. The penthouse has two

security guards guarding outside the penthouse, a chandelier in the living room, a home

theater, a massive master bedroom, and an infinity pool. Him and Davis helped move

his belongings from his old farm to his new penthouse. He visits the farm often, to pay

respects to his long-gone father. He had two of his recruited men guard his farm. Davis

continues to rob and fight, but Mitch considers taking a break from all the fighting.
 Ongarjphanchai - 16

His break didn’t last for long, and he secretly continued to rob and ruin the lives

of the mafias. He would invite a bunch of friends over, and sneak out with Davis and try

to blend into a group of people by wearing hoodies, so the guards wouldn’t notice.

The Father found out about all of this, and decided to arrange a meeting with

Tseng, who takes care of the defenses, and Reno, the mastermind who plans their heists.

“Why are we allowing children to vandalize with our properties, Tseng?”

“I am truly sorry about all of this our father; I will do something to make up for this.”

“What idea?”

“I’m afraid I do not know sir, but I will look into it.”

“I have an idea. We can return them the favor by destroying their stuff too”, said

Reno.

“What a great idea Reno!”

Chapter 7

Trap

The next morning, as Mitch and Davis are about to check if there is anything else that

he left in that barn. As they were searching, Davis steps on a hidden pressure plate, and

falls. Mitch decides to go check.

 Ongarjphanchai - 17

“Mitch, you have to come down here!”

“Your dad is rich!”

Mitch jumps down the hole and sees a huge treasure chest. Davis is happy,

laughing with joy, but Mitch is confused and speechless.

“Why hasn’t my father told me about this?”

“I don’t know, but hey, we’re rich!”

Mitch hears footsteps above on the barn.

“What’s going on Mitch?’

“Be quiet.”

Mitch climbs up the ladder with a big piece of wood, ready to attack. Davis stays

inside the trapdoor to protect the treasure. Mitch hears footsteps coming close towards

him, a man with a black suit appears and Mitch immediately hits him hard on the head.

Another one appears on another corner to check what was going on, but Mitch was

unable to attack him in time. He grabs a pistol and as soon as he was about to pull the

trigger, Davis comes out of the trapdoor with his pistol and shoots him in the head.

Gunshots were heard from the outside, and the mafias swarmed in the house,

outnumbering them.

“Every man for himself, Mitch”

Davis manages to survive with his pistol by his side, but Mitch is caught. Davis

runs away through the back door, dodging all the bullets. The mafias weren’t happy
 Ongarjphanchai - 18

about this and ordered their men to search every corner of the city, including cops.

Davis miraculously snuck past all the police officers and mafias.

He reaches his hideout safely, and was immediately was looked after by his

teammates. He was very furious, even though he knew he couldn’t do anything about

it. He spent many sleepless nights planning how he could do his revenge. He was

going to take Mitch back, and to be able to do that, he needed a lot of people in order to

fight the guards and countless infantry there. Davis arranges a meeting.

“Whatever happened, happened. Our emotions cannot bring us anywhere so we

must take actions, no matter what. I’m going to go all in on this, and whoever wants to

come, can come, but you have to know that you have a high chance of death on this.”

Everyone volunteers to help Davis, because Mitch treats them really well and

they wanted to do something in return. They trained and prepped for their heist for

about a month.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is our big day. I know this is very risky, but

remember, emotions aren’t going to take us anywhere. I am very proud of all of you

who volunteered, for all of you are very brave and loyal towards our group.”

They attacked at night, breached through the wall with an explosive, and starts

firing guns blazing.

 Ongarjphanchai - 19

Chapter 8

Robbery

They were very successful during the breach, killed many goons, and had a small

amount of casualties. Mitch storms in the treasure room, grabs his treasure and quickly

runs back. Davis panics and shoots his weapon at the remaining goons, missing every

shot. They drive away along with the remaining survivors. They were relieved; the

mission was a success. Everyone in that truck was screaming with joy, sprayed

champagne that they stole from the mafias at each other. Many good things last quickly,

as their car ran into another trap set outside the base. The car went out of control, and

slammed into a pole.

Surprisingly, Mitch wakes up in a luxurious room, in a comfortable bed, with a

chandelier, and a girl sitting by his bed. Wait, a girl sitting by his bed?

“Am I in a dream?”

“No, you’re not.”

“You must be surprised; however, I am not a 2-dollar low-life girl you can mess

with.”
 Ongarjphanchai - 20

“Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Kristen, and I saved your life.”

“Hi, Kristen, and I saved your life, my name is Bob.”

“Hi Bob, you have a pretty name.”

“However, I checked your wallet Bob, and your name is actually Mitch.”

“Okay, okay, smart woman.”

“First of all, how did I get here, and how did I survive?’

“I saw some men setting up a mine in the road, so I decided to check it out and

see what was going on. You guys ran into it, and I decided to help.”

“Oh, so you’re one of them, smart girl.”

“I’m The Father’s daughter, but secretly, I rebel.”

“Oh really?”

“Yeah”

She shows Mitch a map of their base.

“Your treasure was returned to our base, I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything, but I

can give you this.”

“Thanks.”

“Your friends are all dead I checked every one of them.”

“You have to stay for the night though, you can’t go anywhere, one problem

though- I have one bed.”

 Ongarjphanchai - 21

They fell in love eventually, snuck out at night and tried to avoid the guards to go

on dates. They were like salt and pepper, two different people from different

backgrounds that match perfectly. They had a dog together, unfortunately not children,

because they couldn’t marry. Over two years later, Kristen decides to help Mitch with

his “adventures”. They robbed more mafias, with Kristen disguised as a guy.

They were surprisingly successful with their robberies and raids without anyone

else’s help.

“One day after of all of this, we should do something big.”

“What?”

“We should retrieve your treasure back.”

“Are you sure about this? Robbing their home base for the second time?”

“I’m sure, you have the map, and you have me, so don’t you worry.”

“Thanks, Kris.”

#
 Ongarjphanchai - 22

Chapter 9

Slow Dancing in the Dark

The next morning, they snuck to the base at midnight, drilled through the sewer tunnel

and snuck their way in. Since Mitch is an absolute child, he decides to make noises from

a stealth video game.

“Be quiet, we’re trying to get your father’s treasure back and here you are

making Hitman 3 noises”

“Ka-chow!”

“And now you’re Lightning McQueen, how great.”

Kristen disables the security cameras with her remote control. fought their way

through, stabbed and shot a bunch of guards with their unmarked weapons, hid their

bodies and snuck inside the treasure room. While Mitch is attempting to cut through the

bulletproof glass with his plasma drill, Kristen goes on a lookout in case guards come

in. They found a motorcycle inside the base, and used it to grab secondary targets,

including gold, cocaine, weed, paintings, and any valuable things they can find.

“Mitch, you have to be careful, because they realized that they had been hit, but

they don’t know who.”

“Kris, we can still do this together and we will make this operation a success.

We’ve gone this far already and we can go even farther.”

 Ongarjphanchai - 23

“If you get caught Kristen, nothing will happen to you. I will protect you and I

will save you.”

“Thanks, Mitch.”

“Mitch, there is a helicopter searching for us, and all the guards are awake and

aware, oh no! What should we do? We’re going to die Mitch!”

“Calm down, woman, it’s going to be okay let’s not focus on our feelings right

now and let’s get this done quickly.”

“Please don’t get me killed Mitch, even though you are a retard.”

After stealing all of the loot they have left, Mitch and Kristen now have 400

million dollars' worth of valuable items, but the bigger the salary, the bigger the price on

their heads. They have to be extremely careful.

They took the boat by the pier, and drove off to Rhode Island.

“WE DID IT!”

“We got the treasure back!”

“We might have, but now we have to be extra careful, because the men will be

everywhere looking for us, and waiting to kill us.”

“They don’t know who we are though, how can they kill us?”

“We might look suspicious when we’re together, so whenever we go outside, let

us split up, and act like nothing happened.”

 Ongarjphanchai - 24

“What about our dates?”

“There will be a time for that, Kristen.”

“Okay.”

“One problem though, you can’t cheat on me while we split alright Kristen?”

“No, I won’t, child”

Chapter 10

Aftermath

The Father was really furious after this had happened, because now he doesn’t have

much money to pay his staff. A guard witnessed him walking to his own room and

screaming for 10 minutes straight. Five minutes later, he walks out and arranges a

meeting with all of his executive staff members.

“We will not allow this to happen again. You all have the insufficient skills to

keep the treasure from just two pesky little children.”

While The Father is still being brain dead with the stealing of the treasure,

Mitch and Kristen are having the time of their lives in Kristen’s apartment. Well, maybe
 Ongarjphanchai - 25

not the time of their lives, because they can’t go anywhere if they want to celebrate

together.

If they wanted to get out, they had to wait for quite some time, maybe a month

or more than a year. Two years after, Mitch decides to walk out of the apartment to buy

some shampoo and to breathe fresh air for once. He wears a leather jacket and a beanie

to keep his long hair. No one noticed him and he was safe. He comes back to the

apartment and discovers Kristen’s body on the ground.

Kristen was shot, and once again the treasure was stolen. Mitch can’t feel

anything anymore at this point. He has kept back his emotions and went through deaths

of many loved ones. He couldn’t call the police, so he grabbed Kristen’s body and hid it

in their car. He then drove off to a cemetery to bury her. He learned later that Kristen

was shot by her own father’s minions. It’s a part of mafia, once you’re sworn into the

mafia, if the boss tells you to kill your own brother, you kill him. If the boss tells you to

kill your mother, you’re going to have to do it. You already have chosen your path,

and you cannot change your direction for the rest of your life. It’s a lifetime thing

everyone has to follow.

Mitch, of course was devastated by Kristen’s death, but being crying and being

mad about it wouldn’t get him anywhere. So, he decides to move on with life, and have

the mindset that: the past is the past. Mitch is now all alone, without friends, family, or

even minions. His father died, his mother died, his girlfriend died, and his friend Davis

died. Then after he thought all of that, Mr. Alfonzo pops up in his head.

Reality

One day, Mitch decides to go back to his old town, and looks for Mr. Alfonzo. There he

is in his restaurant, smiling as he saw Mitch. He walks into the restaurant, and is greeted

again by the classic Mr. Alfonzo. He sits down and orders a plate of Fettucine

Bolognese.

“My, my, little Mitch”

“Now I can see, little Mitchie have fantastico taste in Italian food now, eh?

“Well, I can also see that Big Alfonzo hasn’t improved in his English yet, since

last time I met him.”

“Mamamia, little Mitchie back with it again with his humor!’

“My girlfriend died.”

“Wait what?”

“I just said my girlfriend died.”

“Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. Whatever I can do I will do for you, Mitchie.

Today, all I can do for you is provide you a free plate of Fettucine and some fine aged

wine.”

“That’s already good enough, Big Alfonzo.”

“No problem, however, do you mind going to fishing with me little Mitchie?”

“Sure, why not?”

The next morning Mitch and Mr. Alfonzo went fishing, and caught many fishes,

and chatted for a bit.

“So, what is this thing you want to talk to me about Mr. Alfonzo?”

“Remember when I gave you my penthouse Mitch?”

“You found out?”

“Of course, I did.”

“I killed your girlfriend.”

“Pardon me?”

“I’m The Father.”

After Mr. Alfonzo has said those words to Mitch, he is enraged. Mr. Alfonzo

was a guy he trusted a lot, and this was a huge backstab to him.

“I invited your father to my restaurant, so that I could kill the both of you and

get your treasure.”

“You were lucky, that you were alive.”

“Why are you telling me all of this in such a calm manner?”

“Because, that’s the way it is, Mitch.”

Chapter 12

What Friends Are For

Mitch attempts to push Mr. Alfonzo off of the boat, but Big Alfonzo was quick. He

dodged, and counterattacks Mitch, putting him straight into the water. Mitch is now left,

stranded, mad, and confused.

Mitch has no way out of this, now that he knows who the true culprit is, he

cannot stand still and not chase him. Seventy-two hours later, a boat found him. They

picked him up, treated him with warm minestrone soup and freshly baked brioche

bread. “What fine bread for a small and old ship”, he said to himself in his head. It

tasted amazing, the buttery, aromatic bread, and perfect minestrone soup.

It took him two days to plan for his attack, this time all by himself, with a

different plan in mind this time. Mitch took to their home base at night, stood on a

vantage point with his binoculars, waiting for a truck to pass. Once he sees the truck, he

will hop in, and walk out once it is parked. He will sneakily execute everyone who

comes out of the truck, and walk past the parking garage to the base itself. Now this is

the hard part, he would have to rappel down the window with his stolen treasure chest,

and kill The Father instead.

Things went well for him, he took everything he needed, and did exactly what

he planned. He rappelled down the window, saw The Father, and as he was about to

shoot the trigger, The Father pulls out a plate of Italian Salad. The salad looked

incredibly good, with its fresh vegetables, grilled tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.

“Mitchie you have to calm down.”

“Listen, we could either do this the fun and calm way, or the boring way.”

“I can open the window for you, so you can rappel in and enjoy this dish

together with me, and I will apologize for what I did, and this whole gang is yours.”

“You can either do that, or you can do this the boring way, shoot me right now.”

Mitch chooses to rappel inside.

“You have a good heart Mitch, now sit down and we can enjoy this dish

together.”

Mitch feels a gun at the back of his head.

“What is this now, Big Alfonzo?”

“It’s your friend, Mitch. Davis.”

“I took him to my own research lab and changed him, how smart of me right?

Take care of him, Davis.”

Davis whispers into Mitch’s ear,

“In the count of three, I need you to duck.”

Mitch thought in his mind, “Oh, I love this man”.

“3, 2, 1”

Mitch ducks, and Davis shoots The Father right in the head. He hears a click

sound, The Father’s body landed directly on a self-destruct button that was on the back

of his pants. Mitch and Davis use the rappel to quickly escape from the building that

was going to blow up. Mitch and Davis got out safely, with their treasure returned.

“How did you even get out?”

“Bro, of course, a scientific machine from an Italian cook won’t work.”

“At least we’re done now. Everything is over.”

“Finally, it all has ended.”

Mitch and Davis took over the mafia gang, and used the gang to do good things

for the world. They stopped stealing, and created a funding program for orphans. Davis

gets married, has a family and carries along with his life, while Mitch is going to be

single for the rest of his life, and once in a while goes to pay respects to his dear,

Kristen.
