REGAN was preparing for the mafia assembly that will be held in one of the prestigious hotels in the United States. Taon-taon na ginaganap ang assembly sa bansang ito at lahat ng mga organisasyon na kaakibat ng La Cosa Nostra ay dadalo. Hindi naman na bago kay Regan na makita ang boss ng ibang mafia dahil bata pa lamang siya ay sinasama na siya ni East sa mga pagtitipon na katulad nito. Though some of the bosses are really not in good terms, it was quite impressive that they all wanted to get acquaintance with him.
Bumukas naman ang pinto ng kuwarto at pumasok si Rocket. She was wearing his t-shirt and she looked really sexy on it. But even if Regan wanted to have a quickie, he needed to get to the location as soon as possible because East is waiting for him. Rocket smiled before walking towards him. Inabot nito ang bow tie na suot niya bago ito inayos.
"It's displaced." She said and caressed his shoulders with her hand. "You looked good."
Tumango naman siya. "I'll get going." He said and walked passed her. Binuksan niya ang pinto bago nilingon ang dalaga. "Stay here and be a good girl, Rocket."
"I know." tugon ng dalaga sa kanya saka siya nilingon. "That's what I've been doing." "Good." Aniya saka sinara ang pinto at lumakad pababa ng hagdan. Cain and Uriel will come with him while the rest will stay in the house.
"I'll get to see the boss again and it feels weird." Uriel said and chuckled. Pinagbuksan siya nito ng pinto sa backseat at agad naman siyang sumakay doon. Cain sat in the passenger's seat while Uriel drove the car.
"I thought you saw him last August?" intriga ni Cain. Nanatili naman siyang nakatingin sa labas ng bintana habang binabaybay nila ang daan papunta sa hotel.
"Nah. Giovanni sent me the details of my job because the boss was out of town. I guess he‟s checking some of the warehouses in Milan and that‟s when I heard that Julio was keeping his tracks off the mafia. East killed him in September."
"I see. You heard that too, Regan?" tanong sa kanya ni Cain na kinatingin niya dito. "Some of the Mafioso were trying to go against the La Cosa Nostra and some had already been killed by the East."
"I never got any information about that because East told me to concentrate in the Philippines last August since a lot of contrabands from Russia are being transported in that country. Good thing we all got it from them and they lost hundreds of million dollars in just a month."
"Oh right, I remember that." Saad ni Uriel.
"I assume East wants to get a hold of a small part of Russia." Cain said and turned his gaze to him. "I heard he‟s getting some associates from that country and I really have this feeling that he wants to have an alliance with the Russian mafia."
"That's impossible." Regan answered and pulled a box of cigarettes. "The Russians wouldn't want to do anything with Sicilian mafias and that includes La Cosa Nostra. We've been taking all their shipments for so many years and asking them to have a treaty is bullshit."
"But there's proof that East came to Russia and met some of the higher ups in the Russian mafia. I remember Giovanni telling me that they will need a backup in case someone might try to kill the boss." Uriel interrupted as he was looking at him through the rear view mirror.
"I guess I needed to stay in Sicily for a long time." Sagot niya bago ibunuga ang usok ng sigarilyo.
Nang makarating sila sa hotel ay agad siyang bumaba at madaming mga miyembro ng iba't-ibang organisasyon ang nagbabantay sa paligid. He walked inside the hotel with authority and power. Everyone was staring at him as he walk pass through them. Regan has been known as the ruthless underboss of the La Cosa Nostra. When he was still in Italy, he was the one who lead the mafia to make some of the city their territory. A lot of small gangs became a dog of La Cosa Nostra and all the illegal contrabands being transported in Sicily will come first to their organization. Ilang lugar na lamang ang wala silang hawak kaya naman iyon ang balak niyang gawin sa oras na bumalik siya sa Italya.
