Einar's POV
       We're currently in mall right now since all of us are hungry. Phy wants to eat Chinese food so we're on our way sa favorite resto ni Nyx hyung and Hiro (we're going to eat here even if the two aren't here lol). Nakaupo na kami and since we're regular here they already know our orders.

       "Should we call Aella?" tanong ni Kuya Ry "She has experiment on-going right now, hyung" Phy answers "But its lunch time" ani ni Kuya "She informed us in the gc of the four of us who is studying at the moment" sagot ni Phy "Sabi niya early lunch sila since they'll conduct the dissecting experiment" dagdag pa nito kaya napatango kami. 

       "Does she have things for dissecting ba?" tanong ulit ni Kuya "Yup, Flam bought her the full set of dissecting kit" sagot ni Kuya Rio "Dinala niya ba buong set?" worried na tanong ko "Nope, she just bring the basic tools na ginagamit" sagot ni kuya kaya napatango ako, dude if its just the tools ay magaan siya but the freaking case parang nilagyan ng tatlong malalaking bato, in short mabigat talaga case nung tools kahit walang laman. 

Helios' POV
        The meeting just ended. It took three hours to end since there's too many loop holes, may project kasi na ginagawa ngayon but the thing is nagkaproblema so they suggesting pang alternative pero puro loop holes halatang hindi pinagisipan. They should always double check, triple check if possible ang mga projects nila bago ipasa dahil the company will be at risk if something happened because of their reckless decisions. 

        Later, I will have meeting with a client. Aside from working in a company ay I'm also a Lawyer, I don't accept case that I am pretty sure they're at fault. I hate to defend someone who isn't innocent. Even if people tells me its my job to defend them since I am a lawyer but its a big no for me. I was like you're at fault you should face the consequences about what you did. 

        Many people are offering me triple of my price just to defend them but no is a no. Why? Simply because I'm not into the money but into the Justice that the victim deserves. 

        Anyway, my meeting will be at 2pm and its still early to go there so I decided to call someone. After three rings, the bastard still isn't answering I rolled my eyes even though I know he can't see me. 

        "Hello" bati ng walang iba kundi ang magaling kong kapatid na si Ry "What took you so long to answer?" ani ko "Well, we're about to eat our lunch kasi" ani niya "Kung hindi ka ba naman lunch time tumawag I've answered it immediately" dagdag pa nito, dami agad pakeme tinanong ko lang naman. 

          "Dami agad nasabi, nagtanong lang eh" reklamo ko dito "Bago ka pa sumagot diyan, asan kayo?" tanong ko "Fave resto ni Nyx and Hiro, the one on the mall" sagot nito "Okay. Wait me there" I informed them. 

           "Okay. Drive safely" paalala nito "Yeah I will" sagot ko "Okay bye" ani niya "Ay wait" ani ko he just hum as response "Who are you with?" tanong ko "I am alone" sagot niya which made me laugh "Ano nakaktawa?" tanong niya "Ulol wag mo ko lokohin, you never eat alone outside" saad ko dito. 

              "Epal" aniya "Hindi ba pwede nagbago na ang tao" dagdag pa nito kaya mas natawa ako at natawa din kasama niya "Headshot hyung, hindi man lang nakailag ang Kuya" ani ng kasama niya and base sa boses its Phython. "Phy?" tawag ko just to make sure "Yeah hyung" sagot nito it confirms na siya ang isa sa kasama ni Ry. 

             "Ei and Rio are with you?" tanong ko "I heard their laughs" dagdag ko pa "Yeah hyung, we're here too" sagot ni Ei "Okay. I'll be there in 20" ani ko sa kanila "Take care hyung" sagot nito "Drive safely" ani naman ni Rio "Yes I will" sagot ko sa kanila "Bye bye" paalam nila bago binaba ang tawag. 

Perseus' POV
            "Byee" paalam ni Ryleigh before he got into his brother's car,  iba ang sumundo sa kanila ngayon it was his Kuya Onyx and Flamma. We watched their car until we can no longer see it. 

          "You'll go home?" worried na tanong ni Xaviel "Its not my home" ani ko sa kanila but nodded as a sign na pupunta ako "You sure bro? Pwede ka naman namin samahan" saad ni Francis "I'm fine. I'll just see what he want and then get out of the hell immediately" I told them "Don't worry too much about me I can manage" I assures them, both of them give their hesitant nods, signaling they allowed me to go alone. 

           "I'll go now" paalam ko sa kanila "Text us, huh?" paalala ni Xaviel "Of course" sagot ko "Drive safely dude" paalala naman ni Francis I nodded at him bago sumakay ng kotse. 

              The drive towards Shin's Mansion was silent, I didn't even bother to open the stereo. The silence help me stay calm even though I'm in verge of my anger. The silence were interrupted when someone called me, its unknown number. I'm about to decline it when I thought it might be important so I answer it instead. It was connected to the car's stereo kaya It's still safe to answer a call.

               "Hello" I said as I answer the call "Hey, Akashi its me Lei" ani ng nasakabilang line "Ryleigh" ani ko "Yupp" sagot nito "Why'd you call?" tanong ko "I just want to ask kung nalagay mo ba sa locker mo yung ginawa natin kanina?" she asked back. 

               "Akashi?" tawag niya ulit "Hmm? Yeah I did" sagot ko, I nodded awhile ago forgetting its an audio call. "Okayy" she said "Yun lang naman. Bye byee" saad niya "Bye" maikling saad ko "Fighting!!" ani niya as if she can sense I need it which makes me smile. "Okay" sagot ko "Bye" ani niya "End the call" saad ko "Okayy" sagot niya bago binaba ang tawag. 

                 I hate to admit but that short conversation with her makes me calm and composed . Just her simple 'Fighting' can cheer up someone's mood. 

Third Person's POV
              "What takes that bastard too long?" inip na saad ni Mr. Shin "He's on the gate already, Sir" ani ng secretary nito "Then tell him to drive faster" galit na saad ng matanda. After five minutes, Perseus arrived. 

                 "What took you so long?" tanong agad ng matanda dito "Nevermind, don't answer it. I don't want to hear your lame excuses" dagdag nito "Maupo ka" ani nito, walang imik na sinunod ni Perseus ang matanda. 

                Too many thoughts ang napasok sa isip ni Perseus paglabas niya sa bahay ni Mr. Shin. Its not like he isn't used to it but what he have said is too much for Perseus and he is 100% sure won't ever tolerate it. He immediately get into his car and drove home. Once he's home, his cat is the one who welcomed him, Charlie immediately went to his side and clings to him. 

              "Hey there buddy" He greeted his cat. "Are you hungry, huh?" tanong nito as if maiintindihan siya. He was in the middle of preparing Charlie's food when his phone rings. He set the cat down and went to search for his phone. 

              "Hey" bati niya sa kabilang linya "You okay?" tanong ni Francis "Yeah, as always" ani naman ni Perseus "You know, you can ask for our help right?" Francis reminds him "I know. It's nothing new but you can't blame us if we're worried" ani ni Francis. 

                "You don't have to worry, cause I'm out of hell now" ani ni Perseus "I'm with Charlie" dagdag pa nito and the cat immediately meowed after her owner called her. Francis let out a relieved sigh after he heard the cat on the background it means the latter is really at home. 

                 "Okay. I believed you" pagsuko ni Francis "But call Xaviel, he's worried too" dagdag pa nito "Yeah I will. I'll just give Charlie food" sagot nito "Okay bye dude" paalam ni Francis and the latter just hums as response.
