Kissing Stranger

Stranger 29: Rules

CASSIUS'S POV:

--
FOURTH met us when we got to HuPoFEL and he even blocked our way so I stopped with Sinji and Saviel.

"Boss is calling you," aniya nang harapin namin siya.

"Bakit daw?" tanong ko.

"I don't know? When he and Gun arrived here, that's what he immediately asked me about where you are. And if you ever end up here, you should go to the conference room."

The three of us, Sinji and Saviel looked at each other and then I handed the man I was holding to Fourth.

"What am I going to do here?" he wondered about Lucine's cousin.

"Take him to the dungeon and lock him up. I'm not done with him yet. We'll go to Aqueros first."

"Okay. Sabi mo eh."

Fourth turned his back on me with my captive and then Saviel and Sinji walked in the other direction into the elevator and went to the conference room where Aqueros was waiting.

"Ang bilis talaga ng isang 'yon. Nasa Iceland pa lang siya, 'di ba?" sambit ni Sav habang nasa loob kami ng elevator.

"Magtataka ka pa sa kapatid kong mala-flash ang galawan pero mahina naman sa babae?" ani naman ni Sinji.

"Hindi kasi bini-baby kaya laging bugnutin at parang mauubusan ng gawain."

The two women with me laughed and seemed to be uniting Aqueros again. Do I still wonder if Saviel is always teasing Sinji's brother? It seems that there is not a day that the two do not fight and if only other people saw them, they would be mistaken for a husband and wife who are always at war.

When the elevator rang, the door opened and I was the first to get out of the two of them. Saviel and Sinji followed me and then we ended up in the conference room of the Bloodfist mafia.

Kurusaki's body first appeared to us sitting in front of his swivel chair with his feet resting on the table and playing with his chair along with several members Thorndike, Dirkshied, Martin, Fynrell, and Blas. Montenegro and De Chavez are not here because they are always busy with their company.

Saviel and Sinji and I entered and were greeted with surprise by our colleagues.

"Anong meron?" Sav asked as she sat next to Rent and Perth Dezrail. I sat next to Gun and there was a silly smile on his lips for reasons I don't know.

"Nagpatawag ng pagpupulong ang ating pinunong Aqueros,"

Nagsalubong ang kilay ko nang magsalita ng makata si Thud.

"What did you eat?" I asked him while frowning.

"Wala pa, kaya nga nagpapaka makata ako ngayon kasi malamang isang misyon na naman ang aatupagin natin."

I leaned my back on the swivel chair I was sitting on and then I crossed my arms over my chest. I don't want to get involved in this conversation because I want to find my wife, but I can't ignore this gathering especially since I belong to the Elite Class.

Aqueros entered the conference room and he walked as if without our presence and then he went straight to the end of the table; right in the middle and center of the table where we were sitting. Aqueros sat down in his swivel chair and placed both elbows on the table and covered the space between his nose and mouth while looking at us.

"Some news reached me about the abduction of Creighton's wife and since Martin saw about the code that was already sent, I studied carefully what it meant but it only wanted to convey the same."

There was silence in the conference room and I don't know how the news reached him again and it seems that he was ahead again.

"According to Martin and I's research, Lucine Celestia Veravesta is in a house and she is currently held captive by Miriam Veravesta. Martin entered the Kurusaki condominium system and that's where we found that your wife, Creighton, was kidnapped."
