PROBLEMA agad ang sumalubong kay Regan nang makabalik sila ni Rocket ng Pilipinas. Ang sana'y isang linggo nilang bakasyon sa New York ay nauwi sa tatlong araw dahil tumawag si Cain sa kanya at naghatid ng masamang balita. All of their shipments containing drugs and illegal guns had been taken by an unknown organization. Almost twenty percent of their income vanished in an instant and Regan was not happy with it.
"I fucking told you to keep your fucking attention to the organization! This is the consequence of that woman in your life!" East shouted on the other line. Tumawag ito nang mabalitaan ang nangyari. Ngayon na lang ulit napagalitan ni East si Regan at mas lalo siyang naiinis dahil sa pagsigaw ng lalaki sa kanya. Hindi naman siya umimik at nanatiling pinapakinggan ito. "You're fucking useless!"
"I'm doing my fucking job, all right?!" sigaw din niya bago humithit sa sigarilyong hawak. "I know I slacked for three days after the assembly but I'm fucking fixing the problem! You don't have to scold me about this fucking matter!"
"I wouldn't scold you if you listened to me!" mas tumaas ang galit nitong boses. "I am once again ordering you Regan. Kill. That. Fucking. Woman. Kill her or see how I'm going to take things my own way. You hear me?" anito at hindi naman siya sumagot. "Do you fucking understand me, Regan?!"
Regan breathed sharply before sighing. "Fine." He answered and hung up the call. Agad niyang hinagis sa pader ang cellphone na hawak saka tumungga sa bote ng alak. Hindi na naman niya ma-kontrol ang galit na nararamdaman at alam niyang ilang saglit pa ay sasabog na siya. He doesn't want to accuse someone about the lost shipments but he knows that the Union is somehow involved in this. They aren't going to stop unless he surrenders to them and agrees with what they want. Regan could confront them if some petty organization was behind it but he can't do anything if the Union is his enemy.
Pagpasok niya sa loob ng kanyang bahay ay ramdam din niya ang tension doon. Kasalukuyang hinahanap nila Evo at Wolf ang kinalalagyan ng mga shipment habang ang iba naman ay pumunta sa pier para mag-imbestiga. Hangga't hindi nila nahahanap ang sampung container na nawawala ay paniguradong sabay-sabay silang malilintikan kay East.
Iniisip din niya kung ano ang gagawin kay Rocket. He knows that East has eyes and ears everywhere inside his mansion and it would really be impossible to make Rocket stay there without his boss knowing it. Of course the members of La Cosa Nostra are loyal to him but they are also giving their service to the big boss. Kaya naman hindi niya alam kung paano malulusutan na itago si Rocket. Madami pa siyang gustong malaman at kailangan niya ang dalaga para masagot ang mga tanong sa isipan niya.
"Found it!" saad ni Evo na kinatingin niya dito. "Five containers had been sent to an abandoned warehouse near the Batangas port and the others were turned over to the government."
"Those bastards." He said in gritted teeth. "Call Cain and tell him to get the five containers in that warehouse and I'll talk to Camilton." dagdag niya saka tumayo sa kinauupuan. Akmang lalabas na siya ng bahay nang humarang si Rocket sa kanya.
"Can I come with you?"
"No." Diretso niyang saad at muli sanang lalabas pero humarang lang ang dalaga. "I want to talk to Camilton."
"I said no, Rocket." he answered and stepped to the side but Rocket moved on his way to stop him. Naiinis na hinawakan ni Regan ang braso nito na kinaigik ng dalaga. "How many times should I fucking tell it to you bitch?"
"Gusto ko lang—"
"Fuck whatever you want! Listen, I'm not in my greatest mood right now and you're making me even pissed with what you're doing. Stop being a bitch and mind your own fucking business, you hear me?" He said in gritted teeth before pushing Rocket harshly, hitting her on the wooden door.
