THE world is so unfair. How could there always be suffering despite of people trying to make this world better for the sake of their family? Rocket couldn't understand why of all the evil people in this world, she is one of them chosen people who suffered more than anybody? She just wanted to avenge her parents' death and she just wants to make this world a bit better for her children yet when is it going to end?
The enemies' armed men pulled her and Regan out of the car and a scream escaped her mouth when she saw them knocked Regan unconscious by hitting him with a gun on the back of his head.
Nagpumilit siyang pumiglas ngunit mahigpit ang hawak sa kanya ng mga armadong lalaki at pilit siyang kinaladkad papasok sa isang lumang warehouse kung saan madaming patong-patong na cargo container sa loob nito. Hindi niya mabilang sa kanyang mga daliri kung gaano kadaming lalaki ang nasa paligid niya.
Her heart was pounding so fast as she tries to look around trying to find the man that she came with, but they brought Regan to another location while she was being held into another repository.
On the quiet of the stockroom, she heard footsteps coming towards her direction. Her eyes wandered and landed on a person smiling at her, gray eyes were cold as if they were made just to be emotionless and his smile was the definition of wicked.
"You look just exactly like Kassandra." East said, trying to sound optimistic, yet his voice held nothing but pure sinister, a mixture of ominous and evil. Rocket couldn't say a word.
This man in front of him killed her parents and tried killing her as well. This man holds millions of lives in his hands who screams for justice and revenge just like her. This man made the people around him suffer, forget and be evil. The man who brought her into this world full of suffering. This man whom he should be calling father but wanted him dead instead.
"Amon..." she called, and it was immediate as a second when she felt her left cheek numbed from the slap that he gave.
"Don't," he paused and inhaled deeply. "...you ever call me by that name."
"Then don't you ever speak of my mother's name again like you didn't kill her!" she spat every word with anger.
Isang malakas na tawa ang ibinalik ni East sa kanya. "Your mother deserved that death for taking you away from me. If you didn't know, I asked her nicely to give you back to me but what did she do? Instead, she ran away with that useless of a cop named Raoul and hid you from me."
"My mother did the right thing." Rocket spoke. Ramdam niya ang panginginig sa buong katawan niya dahil sa pinaghalong galit at takot. She swore that she'll never be afraid of this man yet here she is, being consumed by nervousness and fear.
There was something in him that could make everyone stare in terror. The way he smiled and talked to her was nothing but pure deception, it was as though he was made to just make everyone suffer.
"What is that fear I see in your eyes, Rocket?" he asked, smiling. "You should've not fear me, for it is I who gave you the new life that you'll be having once you killed me...in which you wouldn't dare since the life of your son is in my hand."
"W-where is my son?! Don't you ever try hurting him or I swear to all the gods that this night wouldn't end without you dead!"
"He's safe." Tugon nito bago lumakad at pinaikutan siya. Rocket was all prepared to get into a fight once he made a wrong move. Hindi niya alam kung kailan dadating sila Giorgio ngunit kung silang dalawa lang ni Regan ang lalaban sa mga oras na 'to ay malabong manalo sila. She wouldn't dare to fight everyone on her own because there are lives at stake in here but if she's not protecting anyone at this moment, she'd be willing to give up her life just to kill this man in front of her.
