REGAN had to leave United Kingdom and fly back to Italy as soon as possible but there is a weight in his legs trying to stop him from leaving. Hindi niya alam kung bakit parang ayaw na ata niyang mag-trabaho at manatili na lang sa bansang kinaroonan kasama ang mga anak niya pero hindi naman 'yun maaari. Isang linggo pa lamang mula nang maging maayos ang pakikitungo niya kay Rogue at Rebel ay muli na naman niyang ilalayo ang sarili niya sa mga bata. Funny though, but Regan really liked hanging around with his kids and even if he doesn't want to grow accustomed to it, he couldn't help but to be with them even more.

"I already called the Pilot and the plane will be ready in four hours." Uriel said. Tumango naman siya sa lalaki at muling dumungaw sa bintana para panoorin ang kanyang mga anak na naglalaro sa pool area.

"Have you tried liking something before but couldn't get it?" he asked and lighted a cigarette before walking back to his swivel chair. He turned his gaze to Uriel staring back at him and sighed before shaking his head. "Nevermind."

"You can always stay if you want, boss. No one is stopping you, though."

"I can't turn my back from my responsibilities in the Mafia."

"But you can't turn your back on your family as well," usal nito bago siya nilapitan. "I didn't know that it would take five years for you to realize that your sons are important to you more than anything. I always knew that what you're doing is for their safety, but you couldn't even admit it to yourself."

"No, I'm not." Regan answered and puffed his cigarette.

"Why don't you just admit that you're protecting them from East?" anito na marahas niyang kinatingin sa lalaki. "I mean, you lied to our boss about Rocket. You lied that she's dead while she's fucking alive with your sons."

"I lied because I need to know something and it was against what East wanted me to do, all right? Rocket didn't want to help me that's why I'm working on my own to find who killed her sister and why the fuck East killed her family."

"Oh, now you're concerned with her past and you're trying to give her the justice she wants?" anito sa tila nangaasar na boses. Naiinis na binato naman niya ang ash tray dito na mabilis nitong nailagan. Uriel laughed at him and Regan rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Maybe you like Rocket but couldn't admit it like how you wanted to be with the twins."

"Yeah, I like her in my bed." Tugon niya at huminga nang malalim. "Stop prying with my life, Uriel."

"I am not doing' anything, boss. I'm just telling you the things that I noticed." He said before shrugging his shoulders. "Don't act like the bad guy here to make your family hate you.

Traumatizing your kids won't do you anything. Besides, I don't see any fear in the way Rebel looks at you."

"You think he's coming?"

Uriel grinned and nodded at him. "Definitely, boss."

After talking with Uriel, Regan went down to see his kids for the last time. He smiled at them when they noticed him walking towards them and the twins ran to hug him on his leg. He then patted their heads before kneeling to level their eyesight.

"I see you're having fun."

"Yes!" sagot ng dalawa.

"Can you teach us swimming, mister?" tanong ni Rebel at natigilan naman siya. He remembered how they swam in the sea when they were still babies before Rocket took them from him. Regan smiled bitterly before patting their heads once again.

"Maybe next time."

"Are you going away, mister?" Rogue asked and he turned his gaze to him. "Uriel said we'll never see you again."
