SEVERAL days after they fought East, the whole mafia was in turmoil. Some of the small organizations under La Cosa Nostra started to clamor against the Union, thus the reason why Giorgio had been in a hurry to start the wedding.
"They want Regan," Sergei sat across from her at the conference table. "They're accusing the Union that we're holding him prisoner and they're demanding his presence."
"You know we can't do that; not with his condition right now." Felipe muttered. "I already told everyone about East's treacherous' plans against the mafia and I've been holding meetings with all the organizations' bosses to show them all the evidence we're holding, but I guess some mafioso still don't believe it."
"The reason why they want to see Regan."
"I'm..." Rocket paused when everyone's attention turns to her. "I'm attending the funeral of Regan's mother. Ramones asked me to come so I'm coming with them tonight."
"Tonight? You didn't tell me anything about this, Rocket." Giorgio looked upset.
"Yeah?" she raised a brow. "I don't need to tell you anything about my decisions, Giorgio. You're not anything to me."
Sergei laughed. "I'll ask someone to prepare your stuff, Rocket." he said, Rocket nodded to thank him before he stood up from his seat and looked back to Giorgio. "She's right, man. You're just signing a paper for La Cosa Nostra. It doesn't mean she belongs to you after that."
"If I were you, I wouldn't get married." Felipe snorted as he walked out of the room.
Narinig niya ang malalim na pagbuntong-hininga ni Giorgio bago it naupo sa tabi niya. "I'm sorry. It's just...with everything that's happening right now, I don't want something bad to happen to you."
"Nothing's going to happen," aniya bago tinapik ang balikat ng lalaki. Kahit ano man ang i-rason niya ay isa pa din si Giorgio sa mga taong tumulong sa kanya at malaking utang na loob pa din ang pag-protekta nito sa mga anak niya. "I'm also going to bring Rogue back here."
"Yeah, sorry that you have to wait for more than a week just to do that. We need to clean up the mess first before doing something else." He answered.
Rocket smiled before she stood up from her seat. "I'm going to drop-by the hospital first. Do you want to come?"
He shook his head. "No, I'm good. I'll see you when you come back."
"Alright."
Rocket went back to her room and smiled when she saw Rebel playing video games that Ramones bought for him. Agad niya naman tinabihan ang anak na nakasalampak sa carpeted na sahig bago hinaplos ang buhok nitong halos takpan na ang berde nitong mga mata.
"What are you playing?"
"It's called Pokemon, mama!" he happily said and turned to look at her. "Mama, are we going somewhere? Sergei told me we'll leave tonight."
"Yes." She whispered. "Rebel, do you miss your Papa?"
"Hmm? You told me Papa is gone, right?" anito bago binalik ang mga mata sa gadget na hawak.
