The boys are at Rexier's bar with Nathan, meanwhile I'm at my house staying in my room having a bad feeling if I go out with the boys. I'm staring at my military uniform for an hour and suddenly I have two messages pending, so I checked it maybe something happened.

Sam Adisson

; Where are you? I'll fetch you up.

: I'm at the house.

; Which house?

: My place.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Angelie Farrell

; "VIP HOTEL" you can find me at room 534.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Kaagad akong nag bihis kasi naalala ko kukunin ko pala si Angelie sa pinag ta trabahoan nya. Pagkatapos ko naman mag bihis dinala ko naman Yung katana ko, baka magka gulo mas buti na din yung sigurado.

Nag momotor ako papunta sa address na binigay ni Angelie nang bigla akong tinawagan ni Sam sa gitna ng traffic.

"Oh? Mamaya na ako may pupuntahan lang ako" sabi ko Kay Sam.

"Bud may grupo ng mga lalake dito na mga dayo"

"Anong meron sakanila?"

"Uhh.. Kasama nila si Matthew" Sam.

I was shocked after what Sam told me about Matthew, I suddenly have a feeling na baka ito yung rason kung ba't masama ang pakiramdam ko, nag park nalang muna ako para maka pag isip ng plano. I didn't think Matthew's still alive.

"I'm on my way, tell Kenneth don't make any trouble till I arrive"

"Everyone's fine. Exempt Rexier, I think the boss and Matthew is having a word with him" Sam.

"What does the boss looks like?"

"Albino just like the other Kuzma's" Sam.

I dropped his call and started driving as fast as I could and change my direction to the bar, later on while I was driving di ko namalayan na may itim na sasakyan na sumolpot sa harapan ko, sa bilis ng pangyayare tumilapon ako sa lakas ng pagka bangga ko sa sasakyan. Tumayo ako kaagad at parang walang nangyare, at lumabas ang driver ng sasakyan at biglang kinuha ang sumbrero nya at nag bow saakin.

"I'm so sorry sir! Are you okay? Should I bring you to the hospital?" Driver.

"No no I'm good, its okay I'm sorry also" I scratched my nape, and noticed his boss at the back seat lowered his car window until I can see his eyes and he looked at me but I can't clearly see him.

"Are you okay boy? Don't lie" He asked.

"Uhm... My back just hurt a bit sir I'm sorry for your car, I'm kinda in a hurry hehe"

"Hades. Give this boy a check" sabi ng boss.

"Yes sir" the driver handed me the check and with his boss' business card and I declined it after noticing a big amount of money on the check he they give.

"Sir this is too much, ako pa-"

"Take it, para sa motor mo nalang din Ang subra" sabi ng boss.

"T-Thank you sir" kinuha ko Yung pera at pumasok ang driver sa sasakyan.

"See you around kid, sorry again" sabi ng driver.

Nang umalis sila nakita ko Yung boss nya na tumingin ulit saakin at pag lingon n'ya palayo nakita ko Ang puting nyang buhok dahil sa reflection ng ilaw.

Binalewala ko nalang yun at ipinatayo ulit Ang motor ko at dumiretso sa bar ni Rexier na parang walang nangyare. Pag dating ko sa bar ni Rexier Wala na sila Sam. And suddenly I got a text message from Kenneth.

KENNETH

;Nasa bahay na kami nila Sam at Nathan, naka Alis na din Yung mga Kuzma kaya wag monang hanapin Jan.

Lumapit ako sa bartender at nag order ng cheap na inumin. At nag order din katabi ko, at nang nagtaka nalang ako't bakit pareho kami ng inumin sa katabi na mamahaling inumin.

"Excuse me boi! Making inumin ata nabigay mo" sabi ko sa bartender.

"Ah, sir Clark yung katabi mo po nag order para sayo" bartender. Agad naman akong lumingon sa katabi ko na umiinom.

"Don't be shy, Scorpio my treat" he smirked and took off his hat before looking at me eye to eye.

"Who are you again?" He seems look quite familiar but I didn't saw someone having a long white hair.

"Ouch! You've forgot my name that quick, how harsh for you lieutenant" chuckle then rolled his eyes and lit his cigarette.

He looks like the guy who escaped from prison but shorter hair and his body full of scars, I look around and seems like the atmosphere has a quite wrong energy and people around us are quiet, after I asked for his name, even Rexier's guy the bartender was quiet.

"Did i told you to remember my name? It's Ivan Kingsmen" he gave me a death stare. And suddenly he was shooked and didn't expect my reaction after he give me chills.

I raised my glass. "Cheers for your brother's return" I also respond a death stare and with an evil smile after raising my glass. He also raised his glass, and also his men. Which means it's true, his brother was one of the white cobra escaped from prison. All of us drink at the same time.

I stood up and take my leave. "Enjoy your party" I tapped Ivan's shoulder. "Hindi natin alam bilang nalang masasaya n'yong mga araw" palabas na ako sa bar at napatigil ako sa sinabi ni Ivan.

"Your such an interesting man... Wala nga talaga kayong pinagkaiba ni bossing. See you around Scorpio!" he laughed and I raised my left hand and leave.

"You're late, where have you been?" Sabi n'ya sabay angkas sa motor ko.

"May pinuntahan lang tas na traffic ako nang papunta na ako dito" sabi ko sakanya at binigay ko ang helmet ko sakanya.

"You smell like whiskey, did you drank too much before you head here?" Angelie.

"I just drink one shot, may tataposin pa kasi akong report sa bahay" sabi ko habang nagpapatakbo ng motor.

"Ayosin mo lang Clark, pag naaksidente talaga tayo ako mismo papatay sayo!" Angelie said and tighten her grip on my cloak.
