"Mi, wake up."

Nagising ako sa boses ni Sirius. Masama ko agad siyang tinignan nang mapansin na namamanhid nanaman yung braso ko. He used to rest his head on my arm while sleeping. "You're not a child anymore, Sirius."

I averted my eyes when I saw his upper body naked. Yep, he grew up well. Nice job done, Lily. Tinanggap ko yung inabot niyang cover-up ng nighties ko.

"Wear that. The trio wanted to get in here by the window. May importante atang sasabihin." Aniya.

Tumango ako at tama nga siya dahil mula rito, nakikita ko yung tatlo na kalmadong nakaupo sa railing ng balcony kaya lumapit ako para buksan yung bintana. "Hey! What's so early in the morning?"

Sabay sabay silang lumingon sakin. "Oh. It's the end of the month already and we have to tell something important about Lady Edina." Ani Silas.

"Get in."

Nang makapasok, nilatag agad ni Alpha yung mga litrato ni Lady Edina. Magsasalita na sana siya nang makita niya yung pang-itaas na damit ni Sirius kanina na pakalat kalat sa kama. He's inside the bathroom and alam niyang hindi siya pwedeng makita ng tatlo.

Kinuha ko yung damit at tinabi. "This is mine. I like wearing loose fittings at night." Paliwanag ko.

Tumango si Elias. "Let's start."

"We've been stalking Lady Edina--"

I cutted him. "We? I thought I clearly gave this mission for Silas only?"

"Yeah I did. Pero nagpatulong ako sa kanila nang malaman yung ginagawa ni Lady Edina. Forgive me, milady." Silas said with his apologetic voice.

"Okay, continue."

"She's going back and forth to Acriseon and Ravensburg. Nalaman namin na nagpapatakbo siya ng illegal casino then weeks later we also found out about the underground of the casino and its hidden agenda."

Isa-isa kong tinignan yung mga litrato. Palaging may kasama si Lady Edina. She's wild and free. Bakit kailangan niya pang magpatakbo ng ilegal na casino gayong siya naman ang ina ng emperor? Hindi paba sapat yung kayamanan nila? Or maybe it was just for her entertainment purposes, to fill her gratification.

"Nakapasok ba kayo sa loob?"

Umiling si Matias. "We tried but it has  high security, the entrance was heavily guarded."

Kumunot ang noo ko sa huling nakitang litrato. I thought hindi sila makapasok? This is a picture of auctioning event tapos may mga babae sa harap. May mga nakamask na taong nagtataas ng halaga ng pera. "What's this?"

"We bribed a person with an access inside. Siya yung nagsabi na may slave auctioning na nagaganap sa underground ng casino. Then we simply asked him to took a photo and give him the money." Ani Silas.

I sighed deeply. Thinking about this makes my blood boil, i don't know if this is connected to Sirius or not but if we go and help the slaves, its like we're digging our own grave. My main goal is to help Sirius pero hindi ko naman kayang masikmura at hayaan yung nangyayari.

"Be ready tonight. We're going inside the casino."

They all nodded. Nagpaalam na sila at pinanood ko lang din na umalis at sa bintana dumaan, meron namang pinto. Pinapahirapan lang nila yung mga sarili nila eh.
