Waiting...


The three had returned to the hotel, fear of being alone, the three decided to pack up in the same room. Nhu Loan was helping Beckham pack his things in his Jack Sparrow suitcase. Minh Tuyet was frustrated at how she can't fit the hotel toiletries in her already full cosmetic bag. LTQ was the first to pack up his things and was now watching the news. Everyone tried to keep busy to keep them from worrying, mainly for Beckham's sake who was excited to finally go home. He assumes his dad would come very soon and was in high spirits.

LTQ: Do you really need all those things?
Minh Tuyet: Yes, they are free and might as well stock up!
LTQ: Oh why not just take the towels then!
Minh Tuyet: I don't have any room
LTQ: TUH!

Minh Tuyet didn't felt like arguing, she had moved on to pack Bang Kieu's things. All was quiet in the room except for the news lady calmly reporting what's happening at the Stadium and Beckham talking to himself. It has been an hour since they left the place. Marie had called them once they got to the hotel to remind them that their flight is leaving at 1:30 am.

Minh Tuyet: GOD! it's 9 o'clock and he's still not here!
Nhu Loan: Give him another hour

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

It was eleven o'clock and everyone was getting worried. Beckham was growing impatient of waiting around. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, everyone frozed. Beckham ran toward the door calling out "Daddy!" but Nhu Loan hold him back, covering his mouth. LTQ came came up the door, he tried to peer into the hotel peephole but he could only see hair. He turned to the others and shrugged. The others gave him a look like "say something" and he cleared his throat and let out the most girlish high pitched voice they ever heard.

LTQ: Um, who is it? (Beckham let out a muffled giggle)
Bang Kieu: It's me, Kieu
LTQ: Um, um, we don't know-
Bang Kieu: Just let me in Quang!

Instantly LTQ open the door to reveal a tired and very sweaty Bang Kieu.

LTQ: How'd you know it was me?
Bang Kieu: No girl sounds like that, only drag queens do
(Minh Tuyet let out a snort)

LTQ closed the door and was following behind Bang Kieu, who turned around and said "By the way, don't ever do that voice...again" LTQ nodded his head. Beckham broke free of Nhu Loan's grasp and was heading toward his dad.

Bang Kieu: Aw not now Beckham, daddy's all sweaty. I need to take a shower
Beckham (holding up his nose): Pepe Le Pew! (Bang Kieu smiled)
Minh Tuyet: So, you found the guy?
Bang Kieu: No
Minh Tuyet: Oh!....all that for nothing huh?
Bang Kieu: Tuyet, I know what you are going to say but it was just something I have to find out about.
Minh Tuyet (filing her nails): Oh I understand perfectly. You risk your life just so you can find out who the man is, who can potentially shoot you in the head. (she tilted her head and let out a false smile)

Bang Kieu didn't want to say another word, he grabbed his clothes from his luggage and headed into the bathroom. He slammed the door and it was all silence again except for Bang Kieu's grunts and shuffling. There were squeaks and followed by water following.

Bang Kieu: WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE SOAPS AND SHAMPOO?

Nhu Loan and LTQ both glared at Minh Tuyet, who was still filing her nails. She looked up and groaned. Taking out the toiletries, she knocked on the door and shoved them into Bang Kieu's wet hands.

After Bang Kieu was showered and dressed, everyone grabbed their luggage and headed out. The hotel receptionist had already called a taxi to pick them up and was already there waiting for them after they had handed the keys, Marie had already dealt with the payments earlier and all they needed to do was get on the plane and fly back home.
