A Thief In My Heart

Chapter 2

RIDE

Levi was busy biting the straw of his milk tea. Two days has passed since the encounter in Rey Chen's bar. Simula ng sabihin ni Ari na lie low muna ang The Vacuum ay nagkanya kanya muna ang mga ito.  And Levi's starting to get bored.

He looked at Laki who's again Infront of his beloved laptop. 'How can he sit there with his laptop for hours? That's so boring.' Levi thought looking at Laki.

"Aish! I can't take this anymore!" Levi get up and smack Laki. Napa 'Ouch' naman ang huli at saka napahawak sa braso niya.

"Laki I'm injured!" Naiiyak na tumingin ito sa kanya. Levi rolled his eyes and smacked him again. "You're such a kid. Let's go."

"Where? And will you stop hitting me? It's a violation of my human rights!" Laki said dramatically. Levi rolled his eyes at Laki. Ang OA talaga ng batang to.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. Let's go and have fun." Levi.

Mabilis na umiwas si Laki kay Levi. "No thank you. I can still remember how I almost die because you wanted to have fun. So yeah, thanks but no thanks." Laki can still remember how his soul almost leave his body when Levi bring him to a shooting range. He said it was just to have fun. Sure it was fun, playing with real guns. But it's not fun for Laki when he is the one being shot. Yes, Levi use him as a target. He said a target board was no fun because it's not breathing so he use him.

"Eh? What are you talking about?" Levi ask innocently. Totally forgetting his crime. Laki fake a cry bitterly.

"Uh uh, I know better now." Laki said and then ran with his laptop as if a monster was chasing him. The monater called Levi can't catch up Laki. Napanguso si Levi. "Should I have fun on my own?"

LEVI ended up in a bar. He was getting wild as the sounds get louder. Narito siya sa paborito niyang bar at nag pa-party.

Laki's busy with his computer. As usual, he's always in front of his loptop watching K-dramas. He love watching those shows as much as he loves eating cake. Pinipilit siyang isama ni Levi pero mas pinili ni Laki ang mga Korean na iyon! And ouch! Levi was so hurt.

That's why Laki don't have a girlfriend or even a single friend. He rarely leaved their house. Bantay bahay ang batang iyon. Kaya nga hindi na kaylangan ng aso nina Levi, what's the use of having a dog when there's Laki?

And Ari, well matanda na ang isang iyon. He's probably in his room at pinoproblema ang rayuma niya.

Nang magsawa si Levi sa pagsayaw ay pumunta siya sa bar counter. Hindi niya pinansin ang mga babaeng nag papa-cute sa kanya. Umupo siya sa bar stool at saka umorder.

Habang umiinom ng whiskey ay umikot ang mga mata niya sa bar. AZ RUS Bar was a popular bar in the city. Marami ang dumadayo dito. And Levi likes the bar too. Malinis ito at walang sabit. No illegal sideline at maganda ang service.

Matapos magsawang uminom ay bumalik siya sa dance floor at muling sumayaw. He's busy dancing when his eyes dropped at the bar counter. May roon ng lalaki na nakaupo sa bar stool na pwesto niya kanina. The man was busy talking with the bartender. Wala sana siyang pakialam pero pamilyar ang mukha ng lalaki. The lights was dim and he can't see his whole face but he really look familiar.  Levi stopped dancing and walked towards the bar counter where the man is.

Habang palapit ng palapit si Levi ay maslalo niyang nakikita ang mukha ng lalaki. Napangisi siya ng makilala ito. 'Damn! That's why he looks familiar!'

'Well, well, well! Who will thought that he'll see him here? PCPT Leeron Morgan, what a coincidence to see you here.' Levi Cannot suppressed the smile making way his lips. He felt a sudden rise of excitement in his veins.
