after you (sic) work Sean for
dinner and then Chin Fan, he
put in as Tunglam, yes, yes,
one of his men came to him
and a motorbike bag and they
brought Chen Dal Bell as hostage.
a moment Mr Stevens I
know Chen's father had been taken
by the soldiers. They threatened to
execute him unless Chen Chen
surrendered. I remember how both
Stevens said "If you hold my
father, I'll kick Stevens".

give him a commission in his
