"YOU still haven't told me the reason why you were working with Seamus Cross," basag ni Regan sa katahimikan habang sila ay nasa eroplano papuntang France. Hindi umimik si Rocket habang tinititigan ang seryosong mukha ng lalaki. There was no hint of any emotion on his face and the way he says Seamus' name was full of hatred. "You don't know him that much, Rocket. You don't know how he manipulate people for his own benefit."
"Oh, sounds like you, right?" she muttered and smiled at him. Sumimangot naman ito sa kanya. "You have no right to question me for the people that I am acquainted with, Regan. You see this," she pointed to herself and him, "This discussion that we have right now is none other than business negotiations for one objective. Nothing more, nothing less. If you think you can ask me some things that you want to know just because I had sex with you then maybe you should jump out of the plane right now."
"We have one objective that's why I want to know if joining forces with you will benefit me as well. We were both away with each other for months, Rocket, months and you've changed a lot since I last saw you. I wanted to get associated with you for one reason and that is to know the truth."
"I told you I don't need you." she said and crossed her arms. Alam ni Rocket na matalino ang lalaking kaharap at kahit anong pamimilit o pangiikot nito sa isip niya ay hindi siya bibigay sa mga katanungan nito. At that point she's still doing the mission that she planned with Seamus and like the agent she was before, she'll never run from the job that she signed up for.
"Aw..." napalingon siya sa kanyang gilid nang marinig 'yun mula sa mga tauhan ni Regan. Mukhang napansin naman ni Evo ang paglingon niya kaya tumingin ito sa kanya. "Para sa'kin hindi ka pa din nagbabago, Rocky. You're still the strong, independent woman that I met in whore house."
"Shut up." Asik ni Regan sa lalaki. "I see you have a lot of time blabbering shit, Ezra. Why don't you just do your job and tell me if Uriel and the others are already on their way to France."
"Yes, sir."
"Why are we even going to France?" tanong niya sa lalaki.
"Like I told you, I have a lot of connections in France. We can stay there while we are planning things carefully. My source told me that East is still in Sicily as of today and I'm a hundred percent sure that he already knows what happen to Vito in Germany. I can't really deduce his scheme, but I do know he already started moving."
"Then we're already left behind." Tugon niya sa lalaki. "If he's going to attack first then we're already behind."
"You don't know East, Rocket. He won't attack someone where it doesn't hurt." He answered. Matagal na katahimikan ang nanaig sa kanilang dalawa. Sa totoo lang ay walang alam si Rocket tungkol sa lalaking si East. They never really discussed about that man and the reason is they know nothing about him. Tanging si Regan lamang ang pag-asa nila para malaman ang lahat ng bagay patungkol sa La Cosa Nostra.
And Rocket was a hundred percent sure that Regan was still doubting if asking her to collude with him was a good idea. Alam niya na kayang lumaban mag-isa ng lalaki at alam din niya na kaya lang ito nagpumilit na sumama siya dahil sa mga bagay na gusto nitong malaman. They both have different agenda and reason why they wanted to fight, and Rocket will make sure that her plan will be successful immediately after they arrive in France.
Nagdaan ang ilang oras at nakarating din sila sa bansang paroroonan. Dalawang itim na sasakyan ang sumundo sa kanila at naghatid patungo sa isang pribadong bahay nap agma-mayari ni Regan. Agad pumanhik si Rocket sa ikalawang palapag para ayusin ang mga gamit niya at para din matawagan sila Seamus ngunit nakasunod sa kanya ang lalaking kasama. Binalingan niya ito ng tingin bago siya huminto sa paglalakad at hinarap ito.
