KANINA pa pinagmamasdan ni Rocket ang labas ng stage kung saan mas dumoble ang dami ng customer ng whore club ngayong gabi. It's the monthly Stripper's Night of the club and they will surely earn a lot of money tonight. Hindi katulad ng mga gabing nagsasayaw sila na may lima o anim na stripper lang ang nasasayaw, ngayong gabi ay lahat ng stripper sa whore house ay magpe-perform sa stage. Wearing a thin neon pink bikini, a knee-high black boots and a see-through cardigan, Rocket entered the stage and all men screamed with her appearance.
Nilibot niya ang paningin at hindi nakita ang lalaking nagsabing papanoorin siya ngayon. She wants to get close with him and gather any information that could help the government and of course, to get revenge. Wala siyang alam na kahit ano tungkol sa lalaking 'yun. She only knows him by his name and that he is surely the boss of La Cosa Nostra. Their agency knows that this whore house has something to do with human trafficking and she wants to know if those prostitutes they've been selling to men are victims of that illegal trafficking. Pero kahit na gusto niyang imbestigahan ang tungkol dito ay ayaw niyang malihis sa tunay niyang pakay sa lugar na 'to. It will be more dangerous if she digs deeper and she doesn't want to risk the information she has right now for that.
Kailangan niyang makalabas nang buhay kahit na alam niyang impossible. "Strip! Strip!" The men watching her chanted in unison as she swayed her hips seductively and flirtatiously.
Rocket has been an agent for more than five years already and doing jobs like this became normal to her. She was motivated to be a government agent to track down the people who killed her parents and now that she already knows who he is, she will never back down and wimp out just because she entered their territory. Bago pa man niya tanggapin ang mission na 'to, tuluyan nang kinalimutan ni Rocket ang sariling kapakanan. She was willing to sacrifice herself just to get the justice she needed for her parent's death.
Bumaling ang mata ni Rocket sa likurang bahagi ng club at doo'y nakita niya ang lalaking hinahanap na pumupuwesto sa bar counter kasama ang lalaking nakita niya noong isang araw. She wants to know everything about this man; from his weaknesses and strength. Wala sa kanilang files ang kahit ano tungkol sa lalaking ito at malaking tulong ang impormasyong alam niya ngayon para makausad sila sa susunod na hakbang. But the problem is how can she take that information to her superior?
Nabalik si Rocket nang hagisan siya ng pera ng mga lalaki. Dahan-dahan niyang inalis ang cardigan na suot at umikot sa pole na hawak bago siya tumuwad sa harap ng mga lalaki. But
her eyes are settled to one person and she smiles seductively as she stares at him watching her intently.
How I wanted to kill that fucking asshole!
Tumalikod si Rocket at tinanggal ang pagkakabuhol ng kanyang bikini at tinanggal 'yun saka hinagis sa mga kalalakihan. She caressed her body before facing the crowd and grabbed into her breasts. Mas naghiyawan ang mga lalaki dahil sa ginawa niya. For Rocket, it doesn't matter if she strips and dances naked to these men. All that matters to her right now is her mission and not to failed it. She needs to adapt in an environment and that's what she was trained to do.
Nang matapos ang Stripper's Night ay agad siyang bumaba ng stage para magpalit ng damit. Maga-alas sais na nang maubos ang mga kalalakihan sa loob ng club at naiwan naman silang mga stripper para malikom ang mga perang hinagis ng mga ito sa kanila kanina. Tantya niya ay isang daang libo ang kinita nila ngayong gabi o mas higit pa dahil may mga isang libong papel siyang nakikita sa stage.
Rocket sighed and sat on the stage as she collected the money and put it inside the bag she's holding. Napaangat naman ang tingin niya nang makita ang dalawang pares ng sapatos na tumigil sa harap niya. Regan sat in the space near her while the other man was staring at her with his blue eyes.
