IT took a whole five months for Regan to regain his strength and for his wounds to be completely healed. What Vito did to him had left a deep scar underneath his eyes and several parts of his body but it doesn't matter. Nang patigilin ni East ang lalaki sa panggugulpi sa kanya ay doon na siya pinakawalan ng kanyang boss para makapagpagaling. Narinig niya mula kay Cain na may problema sa organisasyon nila lalo na't wala siya para asikasuhin ang mga trabahong naumpisahan niya bago pa man siya makulong dito.
Hindi din umuusad ang pagtatangka ng kanyang boss na saktan ang kanyang anak at iniisip niyang dahil din ito sa Union na tinulungan siya. Plans are running inside Regan's mind right now. He doesn't have any information about Rocket's whereabouts yet but that is the first thing he'll do as soon as he gets out of here. But the problem is he wouldn't work that fast like before because he heard from Cain that Vito will be coming with him. It's already been three months since he last saw his men and he wonder what they're up to right now.
"Regan." tawag ni Cain sa kanya. Hindi niya masasabi na maayos na silang dalawa ng kanyang kaibigan. After the fight they had five years ago, their friendship became a little different than before. Regan built a wall between him and Cain as the trust he had for his best friend was shattered into pieces. "Boss is calling for you."
"Yeah." Sagot niya at sumunod sa lalaki papunta sa dining hall kung saan nakaupo si East sa dulo ng mahabang lamesa at sa likod nito ay nakatayo si Vito na nakangisi sa kanya. His boss is staring at him scornfully and Regan understands why.
"You know that I don't like disobedient people but you disobeyed me to another level, Regan." Umpisa ng lalaki bago nagsindi ng tabako. "I should've killed you but you still have a use in this organization that's why you're alive right now. But I see that you've been fighting against me now and clinging to those pathetic bosses of Union just to prevent me from hurting those sons of a bitch, aren't you?"
"You wouldn't understand me because you have nothing to protect."
"I know." ngumisi ito sa kanya. "That is a one reason why you're here in La Cosa Nostra."
Nagsalubong naman ang kilay niya. "What do you mean?" he asked but East chuckled before standing up and walking towards him. Inakbayan siya nito kaya naman naramdaman niya ang pagka-ilang habang katabi ang lalaki.
"I will take care of the jobs you left before coming here, Regan. Now, I want you to accompany Vito to his venture of looking for that bitch and you'll have to do everything that I want you to do." East paused and leaned on the dining table as he stares at him. "First, you have to kill that woman and second, your sons—"
"No." putol niya sa sinasabi nito.
Tumango naman ang kanyang boss. "Vito." Saad nito at napansin naman niyang umalis ang lalaki sa puwesto nito. "You probably think that this is easy for me to say because they're not important to me, but yeah, it's true. One thing that I like about being a boss is I only need to tell my commands once and everyone will be obeying me immediately but you're different from everyone, Regan. I almost thought that I had you held in your neck but who the fuck am I kidding, right? After all, you're still a Montenegro. An outsider. A pathetic loser."
Isang malakas na pagtili ang nakakuha ng attensyon ni Regan. He turned his gaze when he saw Vito but he was not alone. Nakasabunot ito sa buhok ng isang babae at napakuyom siya ng kanyang mga kamao nang makita ang pamangkin niyang si Hellga. Malakas itong pumipiglas habang humahagulgol at nang bumaling ang tingin nito sa kanya ay agad itong nagsisigaw.
"Uncle! Help me!"
"What the fuck?!" Regan shouted and turned his glare to East grinning at him.
