Missing girl on the island

"Take one" – I said.

After about 4 hours we arrived. I opened the door of taxi and driver helped me get my bag out of the trunk. Driver was a good man. Just my thoughts. Ok, no problem.

"Nancy, thank you. Happy to work with you. Bye" – I said.

"Me too, bye" – she said.

I closed the taxi door and went to my room. I got upstairs and opened the door. I dropped my bag and closed the door. I had a very good thought. What thought? Take shower. Yes, nice thought. Good man, good idea.

After 1 hour… I opened the fridge and took out a bottle of cold Thai tea. Must try it. It should be awesome. Yes, I feel life again. I must unpack my bag. I took my camera out and now I should transfer all media files to my computer.

Incoming call (cell phone) …

"Hello" – I answered.

"Hi, it's me Jim. How are you?" – he asked.

"Hey, Jim. Nice. What about you?" – I answered.

"Much better than before" – he said.

"Happy to hear it" – I said.

"Do you want to go to play poker with company?" – he asked.

"Where?" – I answered.

"This is a small two-Storey condominium" – he said.

"When?" – I asked.

"Tonight, about 11 p.m." – he answered.

"No problem, you know me" – I said.

"Have you been to Koh Chang?" – he asked.

"Yeah… I did my job" – I answered.

"Ok, ok… man" – he said.

"So, see you today?" – I asked.

"Yeah, sure… call you…" – he answered.

"Bye, man" – I said.

"Bye" – he said.

I uploaded files from camera to my computer. I placed them and put price. Time for lunch. There was a good cafe in the next house. I went down the stairs. And 3 minutes' walk. I'm in the cafe.

"Hello, Rosty" – I said.

"Hi, hi" – he said.

"How are you doing today?" – I asked.

"Doing well and you?" – he answered.

"Same" – I said.

Rosty was the American owner of this cafe in Pattaya. He was friendly. Nice place, nice company. The waitress came up to me. And I got the menu. Many good dishes on the menu.

"Hamburger, French fries and orange juice" – I said.

"Ok, sir" – she said.

Time for waiting. I had plans for today. Some cash, some business. Jim was a good friend. Money always good reason to stay tipsy.

"Sir, here's your order… hamburger, French fries and orange juice" – the waitress said… and put it on the table.

Time for a good meal. I ate slowly. And what do you think? Yes! I need to call Nancy… check… how is she? I took out my cell phone. And started my call.

Beeps…

"Hello" – Nancy answered.

"Hello, it's me" – I said.

"Oh… Jas" – she said.

"Are you at home?" – I asked.

"Yes, everything is fine" – she answered.

"Ok, ok… I hope to see you soon" – I said.

"Me too" – she said.

"Bye" – I said.

"Bye" – she said.

I almost finished my lunch.

"Check bill, pls" – I said and finished drink orange juice.

I paid the bill and left the cafe. I got upstairs and turned the TV on. So many ADs about villas and condominiums, swimming pools, ocean views… Pay money, be king!
