Chapter 14

Kix yawned before entering the living room in their underground headquarter. Kahit na may maayos na siyang tulog ay parang gusto niyang matulog ulit kasama si Yumiko.
But he knows to himself that he needs to cooperate with his team to finish their mission, ‘and after this, you can have Yumiko all to yourself.’
Nang tuluyang makapasok sa salas ay natigilan siya dahil imbes na ang mga kasamahan niya ang nadatnan doon ay si Malachite ang nakita niya habang nilalaro nito sa mga daliri ang isang patalim.
But it’s not about his friend why his exhaustion vanished. Nakaupo kasi sa sofa si Aaron Vistal at kumakain ng popcorn habang nanunuod ng movie sa laptop. Sa tabi niya ay nakaupo si Coby at kumakain din ng popcorn at nakikinuod.
“They will be here any minute,” Malachite said, resting his back at the couch while still playing with the dagger.
“Yeah. But, what are they doing here?” Tinuro ni Kix ang dalawang lalaking tila walang pakialam sa paligid basta makanuod lang ng movie at makakain ng popcorn.
“They let me go since they agreed that I can be a help to your mission,” Coby said. “Saka sabi nila pakakawalan nila ako kapag sumama ako sa inyo at sasabihin kung ano ang susunod na plano ng mga Debussy. They also offer me to become a part of this group and I said yes.”
“Wala akong matirahan kaya pinatuloy nila ako,” sagot naman ni Aaron.
Totoong wala pa siyang matirahan dahil inaayos pa lang ni Leighton at River ang mga papeles na naiwan ng kaniyang ama. Since Andrew and Anton Vistal is already dead, napunta ang lahat ng kanilang ari-arian kay Aaron.
Nagkibit-balikat lang si Kix bago lumapit kay Aaron. May gusto siyang sabihin dito at alam niyang papayag siya sa i-aalok niyang offer.
“Say, since you don’t have a place to go, why don’t you stay in my place?”
“You want me to live with you?” Aaron was in shocked. His mouth is full with popcorn and almost spit everything out.
“I need a temporary helper in my house since Yumiko is pregnant. I’m sure even if you’re a man, you know how to clean a house.”
“You bet I am! Tatanggapin ko ang trabaho.”
Naupo kaagad si Kix at hinintay ang pagdating ng ilan nilang kasamahan. Hindi na niya kailangan pang maghanap ng katulong sa agency dahil nakikita niya namang ayos na si Aaron sa ganoong trabaho. Pansamantala lang naman dahil alam niyang matapos ayusin ni Leighton at River ang mga papeles ng naiwang ari-arian ng mga Vistal ay si Aaron na ang hahalili roon.
Hindi rin nagtagal at isa-isa nang pumasok ang kanilang ka-grupo sa misyong gagawin.
Kaagad na isiniwalat ni Leighton ang kanilang plano. May pinindot siya sa ilalim ng pabilog na lamesa at isa-isang lumitaw roon ang hologram map. Mapa iyon ng buong siyudad.
“From what Coby said, Chris’s mafia will be exporting drugs and other stuffs they stole in another country. Barko ang kanilang gagamitin, isang cruise ship,” Leighton said. Pinakita niya sa kanila ang port kung saan lalayag ang nasabing barko.
“They’ll be having an auction in that ship so people won’t be suspicious to why the cruise ship would travel almost around the world,” River added.
“We will be joining that event and disguise ourselves as a businessman. Paalis na ang cruise ship sa Linggo ng gabi. We only got a one shot at this since Grampa Saturn and Grampa Renshan told us to take them down. . . all of them. . . without mercy,” Leighton said seriously and put the invitation card on the table.
