He would most definitely have been killed if I had not been there to intervene. His actions were rash, careless and extremely noble. That is why when I discovered that he was headed for the island, I made it my duty to meet him. Following my brief to the letter demanded that I kept male attention away from the girl, but I had begun to wonder what would happen if I did the opposite and allowed a relationship to blossom. The senator hired me only to ensure that his daughter was kept safe. If I could guarantee her safety without the need for me to oversee her every move then surely that would be a favourable conclusion for all. I left the girl on the beach in Hat Rin. By then she had the two couples with her and at the time I thought they posed no threat. I was confident she would not be going anywhere before the party and I also suspected she knew that her male companion from Penang was on his way. He had the locket with him and was approaching Donsak to board the ferry when I made an overnight journey of my own to meet him at the pier on Samui.
