Los Angeles, CA.

He parked his car in front of their house, brought home some groceries for the fam and a smile after a successful training mission.

Before he could twist the doorknob, he saw it open. There was confusion in his eyes but he immediately stormed inside the house and found the place a whole mess. He dropped the groceries and run towards the living room where he saw red stains on the carpeted floor. His eyes slowly drifted towards not one, but two bodies lying on the floor. It was his mom and sister, both with bullets in their heads. Terrified of what he saw, a loud noise distracted his thoughts. Then he saw a man in a mask holding a katana.

Not in his right mind, he attacked him with the broken glasses and run towards the drawer where he hid one of his guns. The man disappeared after he chased him with gun fires. Soon as he got back, he knelt and anger, pain and agony filled his head. He lost his mind.

"BOOOO! SO LAME! FINISH IT!" the crowd shouted in disappointment and agony. The nearly filled spectator's are was filled with several angry people, most of them were going to lose their bets.

The man standing at the center of the ring slowly eyed the crowd. Their cheers from the start of the game wasn't for him.

Suddenly, his opponent strangled him from the back and the crowd cheered one more time. However, the young man, fed up on their insults and his goal to win, he tripped his opponent, carried him like a sack of rice and threw him towards the cold floor.

He lost his sanity as he jumped to him and manually threw punches that eventually ended the game. But he was so persistent and somewhat mesmerized by the fact that he won and that he could kill his opponent.

Some of the crowd figured that his opponent wasn't moving and the next thing the guy knew, he killed his oponent right in front of everybody, knuckles filled with blood after continuous punches that the face was barely unidentifiable.

And the young girl in her cloak was watching the game. A smirk left her lips as she turned around and left the arena. He was ruled banned in all BAs and was imprisoned.

I remembered that day when the crowd was cheering, "KILL HIM! KILL HIM!"

The guy lift his fist amidst the blood flowing of his opponent and then threw punches at his opponent's face. There were no mercy whatsoever in his eyes. The man's face were beaten and nearly couldn't be recognized. He was pleading to save him but he showed no mercy. His opponent can't even stand or sit. He's hardly breathing. That day was the last day I've seen him until now.

Tss. I'll deal with him later. Naghanap ako ng pwedeng daanan para makarating doon. Habang nakatago ako sa isang sulok napansin ko ang pagdating ng isang matandang lalaking pinapalibutan ng maraming lalaking naka-itim na pormal na pananamit. Nakaposas sa braso nito ang isang briefcase.

I planned to make a diversion but it's a little late so I'm sticking with the traditional profile. Nakarating ako sa isang pier at sa di kalayuan ang mga kalalakihan kanina ay papasok sa isang yate. May nakabantay bungad nito at maging sa taas.

May kadiliman pa sapagkat ala-una pa lamang ng umaga kaya naman mas madali ang paggalaw. May nakita akong isang lalaki na pasakay san sa kaniyang jetski ngunit pinatulog ko ito at sumakay dito saka sinundan ang yateng paalis.
