Chapter 2 - The Gang and Her

HER~

It'll be a long journey flying straight from California back to the Philippines; tiring, yet exciting. I've had so much fun memories in this country from my childhood; oh yeah... back on those days. But right now, I'm not here to have fun or even to rest... all I have is a mission, a mission I started years ago and still needs some answers to its questions; a mission that is bound to give justice to a special person in my life.

Damn, I miss him.

I swear to take revenge and triple the pain they've made. No one can escape my plan, no one.

*evil smirk*

I am currently working on my laptop when a video call request popped on the screen and without second thoughts, I accepted the request.

"What's up?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"What the hell are you thinking Rose?!" Kyle exclaimed.

"Hey you! I thought we'll go shopping today with Daph?!" Jane shouted from Kyle's behind.

"Honey Rose-y, I miss you already. Waaaah!" Vince pouted.

I smirked. Well, meet my crazy gang: The Flaming Five.Every member has its position in the Elite society, which means everyone holds a great fortune through their own family businesses like mine. My gang is very well known all over the world and we currently hold the top rank. In fights, I rarely show myself and let the other members to fight. Well that's unless they really can't win over them, then I appear and fight. Only a few gangs know my existence, and mostly they are the gang that holds top ranks in fights.

"Hey, how are you guys? Long time no talk" I joked.

"What the hell, Rose? I told you to tell me when you will be leaving?!" Kyle said.

Kyle Saavedra, Phantom. A full blooded Filipino who migrated to California a few years back. A graduating student majoring in Business Management and he is the second in command in the gang. He is my sparring partner and proficient in close fights, boxing, karate, martial arts, and so many others.

"Oh Damn!" I snapped my forehead, acting like I forgot something "I really forgot Kyle-y honey, sorry"

"Stop the act Rose, I'll be getting the next flight tomorrow" he replied in monotone.

"I'm coming with you Kyle" Jane added.

Audrey Jane Tolentino, Blue Martini. She's half Spanish and half Filipino who live mostly-half of her life in California. She's a graduating student, majoring in International Foreign Language and also my girl best pal. She is the girly among us girls, but the best sharp shooter as well. She can pierce your brains with her bullet even without her looking. Don't dare to play with her or else...

"Me too, I'll miss my Rose-y" Vince commented with his pouted lips.

Vince Matthew Tiu, Nightmare. A half Chinese and half Filipino living in California since the day he was born. A graduating student, and same as Kyle, he is majoring in Business Management. He is the Casanova of our gang, but when it comes to fights? Expect a bloody murder. He is excellent in using knives, swords and katana. Never underestimate him or else, he'll cut you off in just a couple of minutes.

"Count me in peeps", says the voice unseen on the view of the camera, and made them turn heads on her direction. From the voice, I am very sure it's Daphney.

Maria Daphney Miller, Black Widow. First of all, I should warn you regarding her first name. Never, ever, call her by her first name or else, you be six feet underground by now. Okay, back to the narration, she is a full American who originally came from Florida. She tends to be one of my family's fighters and my dad, the current King, personally picked her to be my subordinate and so... she traveled all the way to California. She is a year older than us and a graduate of Forensic Science. She's great at investigating... way better than any CSI and good at hacking security premises. A cold and quiet pal but she's never a kill-joy when it comes to girly bonding.
