The big boss came out , he look around my age and was not as old as I expected.
They load up the bags
He came up straight to my car and sat inside straight away.
His personal “bodyguard” sat In the front seat. While his “PA” sat right behind me.
Radio off. Headlights off. on the fog light…. His PA instructed me.
I obey and saw through the rear view mirror car number 3 did the same thing too.
Only the lead car has headlights on.
The cars moved out of the complex and merge into airport boulevard .
Stop at the first bustop on the left…. The PA said.
I saw two bikers on their Honda ST1100. They were in full riding gear with full face helmet on.
One of the rider , walk up to all three cars and pass the front seat passenger a Wakie talkie.
After that the rider went In front of the lead car and rode off in a slow speed. All three cars the move off. The other ride then went behind the last car to be the rear guard.
" do you received me " …… The PA spoke in Cantonese.
Both of the cars responded back.
With the leading biker escorting the way, I was more at ease. All I need is to follow.
We break into PIE straight away after that . The leading biker on his signal and turn left Into euros area.
My suspicions were correct he is heading towards geylang area.
We passed by geylang area and there wasn’t any instructions to go into any of the lorong.
We head straight up and end up at Mountbatten road at one of the petrol kiosk.
The sign say " car wash closed"
As soon as the 1st car reach the end , one car wash worker came to remove the sign. The first car went in first. The right turn was very tight for a s class so we had to slow down.
Stop … The PA in my car commanded. The first car had already move ahead slightly and parked .
My Car was in 35 degrees right turn. The was a low wall on my left side. Behind it was a market/ hawker center .
Suddenly one men from the first car step out of the vehicle. He rush to the rear trunk, remove all 3 bags and throw it over the Low wall .
He then come over to my car and exchange position. The big boss and the PA run towards the first car and sat at the back seats.
Everything was over in 20 secs.
The first car then went through the car wash .
Follow …. The guy siting at the rear told me…
I just go though the car wash station without washing. I check my rear view mirror and saw the third car In the washing bay acting as a decoy … With white foam covering it all over.
The two outriders were at the petrol kiosk exit waiting for us.
Chapter 5
Client : HK VIP
Car: 3 S class.
Lady V : I won’t be back till maybe during the formula one period in singapore.
Me: that is like two months from now !
V: sorry Charles, I will be in America most of the time.
I did not say a word more.
V : you upset ?
Me: nope. Is part of your job, I understand.
V: I left some stuff for you in the apartment , is next to my bed.
I nvr answer back.
V: Charles , pls don treat me this way.
Me: I am sorry , I guess I must be tired.
I don’t know what got,over me . Usually I don’t react this way. I guess I need a break
I went over to CIP after dropping V off. parked my car and went around the car park to look for the other two drivers. . Two drivers started to come out of their car. Both were Sikhs. They are twins.
Me: hello gentlemen, I am Charles.
Sikh 1: hello , any background on the HK VIP?
Me: I shake my head.
Me: how many pax coming any idea?
Sikh 2 : Shake his head.
Me: : I will go in to find more Infor. You guys hang around first.
I saw a lot of “plainclothes” personal outside the entrance. The arm uniform guards are also there. Things are not too right ! Don’t tell me is Jackie chan coming to Singapore ? I don’t think so. No reporters at all. I went straight to the washroom and came out fast. Changing my mind not to find out more Infor.
Ten mins after flight has landed.
Me : gentlemen , let’s go up to pick up,point. Sikh 1 , you are first car, I will be number 2. Sikh 2 you will be last car.
Both of them Nod their head.
We line up the car in a orderly manner. Engine running. Air con on. Rear trunk open up for their bags.
“Why are you all lining up the car here ? What is your flight number? " ….the airport duty manger barked at the top of his voice.
Me: flight zxcv1234 I quote the number.
The manager did not say a word and turn back into the complex.
The security personal and other staff all were looking at us.
I was very uncomfortable.
I then saw a group of Ppl approaching the exit. All dress in black long sleeve with black pants. 9 pax with 9 identical hand carry bags.
Me: don touch their bags. Let them load up themselves…. Saying in a loud voice making sure the two drivers hear me.
I know who these ppl are.
They are the HK triads .
The outrider then make their way towards Fort road.
We reached the end of fort road and there is a round about ahead of us.
We circled the round about three times. I think they are keeping a look out any cars following them.
Then I hear the Wakie talkie set …. “Ok”
We then proceed into east coast park service road. Heading towards the direction of McDonald’s. We make right turn into car park B1 and loop back out towards where we came from just now.
The leading ridder and the first car started to increase speed. I floor the gas pedal too.
Slow down get ready to stop ….. My front bodyguard shouted.
Stop now ….. He shouted.
Off they jump out of the car and head for the rear trunk. The took all three bags and run towards the direction of the expressway.
Shit …. I say to myself.
They reach the grass area and throw the bags on the ground and ran back towards the car. I then saw three black motor scramblers racing towards the bags. They took one each and sped off towards the underpass that leads to Meyer road from the other end.
I open the back passenger door for them and jump back into the driver seat.
Go. Go go…. They shouted.
Floor the gas pedal.
The two bodyguard were catching their breathe and say macdonads ….
I understood and head straight to kallang macdonads.
Straight down into stadium boulevard ,,, follow by another left turn into stadium crescent. … Proceed straight and ended up at JLN benaan Kapal ….. parked just outside the cage. The two other s class were there already.
The two passenger from car came out.
The boss and the PA return back to my car.
Boss: go out and have some refreshments. ….
I left them alone in the car and head out of the car . My heart was beating fast non stop.
I look at the face of the two other drivers. They gave me the " what the hell just happen" look !!!!
One of the bodyguard came out to and pass me a macdonalds paper bag.
I took the food and join the other two driver and ate without saying a word.
We rested for 30mins.
One of the body guards then shouted " let’s go"
I went back to the car.
They took the remaining three bags and loaded inside my car at the rear seat.
Boss : u ok ?
Me : yes, much better.
He hands me a piece of paper .
Boss: do you know how to get to this place?
Me : yes I do .
I remember I ever drop a client there before. The client did not wish to drive and book for a drive home service.
Boss: let’s go, you take the lead now.
I turn left into lor 30 geylang . And loop out into geylang road. I passed by lor 28 geylang on my left and stop just outside the pub. There were a lot people smoking just outside the pub . The bouncers were there too and there were looking at our cars. The bodyguards came out first and they held on to the three bags.
Boss : park the car outside, you come in with us.
Me : ok.
I came out and hand over the key to the other driver. I told both of them to wait outside and move the car if the summon Aunty comes.
The place was pumping with music from the live band . The backdrop of the stage were two neon light circles . The disco lights were flashing non stop , my eyes took some time to get used to it. The whole place was filled will second hand smoke.
We were usher straight to three VIP tables right in front of the stage.
The thai singers were singing and grooving to the live band music. The crowd was supporting some of the favorite singers with ten dollars flowers to banner starting from 100 all the way to thousand of dollars. There are a lot Vietnam gals around providing " company" to male counterparts. Non of them dare to approach us.
A Chinese bouncer came out to me .
Bouncer : friend … You big boss arh ?
Me : no , I just the driver..
The boss sat at the middle table . On his left and right were all flank with his followers facing the crowd instead of the stage.
The three bags were just placed at the foot of the table.
The three tables were all fill with alcoholic drinks , ice, mixer, beer etc.
The boss used his hand gesture to signal me to help myself. The music was too loud and we can’t hear ourself if we talk.
I took two shots of whisky to calm myself down.
The big boss was throwing money like nobody business. He keeps hanging flowers for the singers and tipping the waiter and waitress .
Boss: they know Cantonese song ? …. He ask me,
Me: I checked with them… I shouted back to his ear due to the noisy background.
I pull one of the thai singer …. And ask…
" beyond song ? " …. Took out my iPhone and play the mp3 song … Placing it at her ear.
THAI singer : nod her head.
She went to the band leader and whisper into his ear. Band leader look at me gave me a thumbs up.
Next song the band play…
" Zhen de ai ni …..by beyond in Cantonese.
I look at the boss. He was standing up and waving his hands. Well looks like he is enjoying it. The flower gal shyly ask him if he want to hang flower. He pointed to the banner on the stage one thousand dollars .. And circle all around the stage. The poor flower gal panic and ran to do her job.
The band leader clap his hands together and placed it above his head. Looking at my dierection. I directed his attention to the boss. He turn towards the boss and bow down slightly.
After the song ended , the boss spoke to his PA . Suddenly , all the bodyguards started to head towards the door. It was time to leave. He left the two bags on the floor and his PA only carry one bag out.
Nobody stopped us or question us. I then saw the local bouncers stand near the two bags on the floor guarding it.
I started the car immediately…
Airport …the boss echoed.
I took ECP route to the airport.
Boss : pull over just before we reached the airport.
Me: yes sir.
I make a detour and went into the route leading Laguna golf and country club.
I stopped the car.
Boss : give him a name card… Speaking to his PA.
Boss: email me if you coming to HK, I will make the necessary arrangements for your stay.
Me: thank you very much
Boss: here this is something for you.
I look at stack of one thousand notes. Is easily a five figure amount.
Me: thank you I will share it with the two drivers.
Boss: good let’s go.
I drop them off at the airport and I never bum into them anymore,
I later find out they don’t used the same driver twice.
The big boss came out , he look around my age and was not as old as I expected.

I always enjoy watching the world go by as I sip my coffee need not having to be in the morning rush.
Many gals in their office wear are walking towards the MRT station most likely going to work. Some are dress to kill.
Order my favorite Nasi lemak . Started to eat and looking at the google calendar on my HP.
“Hmm… The ASS Q gals only will be back next week…”
Looks like I am all alone …. I said.
I went to SBF website….
Just casually surfing checking for any updates…
" caught you surfing porn early in the morning" …..
I turn around….. Damn it was Eliza
I gave the surrounding area a quick glance .
EliZa : I am alone lah…. She sat down without me asking her too.
" not working today arh".. She carry on.
Me : “Standby for now " …. I replied back.
She was looking at the plate of food i was eating.
Me : " you wan some of these ? I order a set for you…
“Yeah” … She’s replied .
Me : " what abt you ? Not working today?
E: " I am on my way to work , I start at 12 noon. I left home early , I worry I might overslept. "
Eliza : abang I wan to drink, can we get some beer.

Eliza : pls lah abAng… Two bottles then we go ?
Me : ok ok. But we sit behind …. Here too open a lot of ppl passing by. I am working still.
Eliza : ok ok… Off she went to look for a table.
I went to place a order for two tiger beers.
Eliza was sitting at table with four round seats. She wave her hands to get my attention. I sat down facing her. Her back was a wall. Eliza was facing the hawker stall.
I pour her a full glass while i dilute my beer with ice.
We just casually talking , when she suddenly asked…
Eliza : " abang I ask you arh that day shiok a not ?”
Me: what you talking about ???

She place her hand under the table and stroke my knee.
I got a electric shock feeling.
I cross my leg and placed It between her thighs . She got the hint. She locked her grip on my legs and push her lower body forward to my legs. She was treating my leg like a bolster and rubbing herself.
I started to look at her C cup boos.
E: you want some of these?
She fold her arms across her chest and placed her arms on the table. Squeezing it to let me see that she was braless. I suspect she only has a sticker on her nipples.
E: we go to yr car, I make you happy, abang ?
Me: no car.
E : then how ?
Me : follow me…
