IDR Race Course

"Woah! Wala ka paring kupas First!" Dale said after Cyd won straight in his three racing match.

They are sitting on one of the benches surrounding the course far from other players. And as popular as they are, sari-saring challenges ang agad bumungad sa grupo pagdating palang nila.

"Don't state the obvious, Dale. They're just a bunch of weaklings." Luccas said without taking his eyes off his ipad, not even bothering to watch the match knowing what the results would be.

"Oo na, sungit mo talaga kahit kailan."

"Tama! Chill bro." Kaizer added but he still not get a glance from him.

Nagkatinginan nalang sila ni Dale and just shrug habang ang iba naman ay nanunuod lang sa iba pang naglalaban.

The Hunters found themselves spending their Friday joining in Bombshell matches. After the incident in the cafeteria that resulted Cyd to be confined for a whole 2 days in the hospital, the group is back on track. However, no one ever talked about it.

A little while later, isa-isa naring tinawag ang kanilang mga pangalan para lumaban and as expected they all won their matches.

"Boring" Rio said as he settled again in the benches with only Kaizer, Lee and Dale seated on it. He was the last one to race and got very disappointed.

"Hay, wala man lang matinong kalaban dito." Segunda pa ni Dale at nagpadesisyunan nalang humiga sa mga upuan.

"Where are the two?" Tanong ni Rio kay Lee na kasalukuyang may kinakalikot sa phone habang si Kaizer naman ay panay ang lingon sa paligid.

"Kumuha ng refreshments.--uy, ano bang problema mo dyan." Baling ni Lee kay Kaizer matapos sagutin si Rio.

"Naghahanap lang ako ng makakalabang matino."

"And do you think sa paglinga mo may mahahanap ka? Weirdo."

"Nakakainis lang kasi, bakit sila kumag (Dukes) nabalitaan kong may nakaharap daw na magaling? Tapos ngayon tayo eto bored. Bw*s*t." Kaizer said scowling.

"Maybe it's not our lucky day."

"Tsk!"

"Short-tempered as always." Rio interfered making Kaizer's scowl deepen.

"Taob ka pala kay Rio eh." Asar ni Dale na kauupo lang sa pagkakahiga. Sasagot pa sana ang isa nang pumagitna si Lee sa kanila.

"Stop that, para kayong mga bata. Besides, nandyan na sila First oh."

Agad naman nilang tinignan ang mga paparating. Nang makalapit ang mga ito, binaba ni Luccas ang mga dala nilang inumin na siya namang kinuha ng lahat after saying their thanks.

"So, are all the matches finished?" Cyd asked as he sat along them.

"Yes, First." They all answered.

"Well then, let's go to the HQ. We have something to discuss."

Chef's House

As usual samu't saring pagkain ang nakahanda sa hapag ni Chef. Expected na niya kasing muling susugurin ng pamangkin niya kasama ng mga kaibigan nito ang kanyang bahay.

Nakasanayan na niya ang mga presensya nito at itinuring na kapamilya kaya naman bukal sa loob niyang paglutuan sila ng pagkain.

But unlike them, he did not accept any place from the mafia even though he spend his childhood days from training. For Marcus, freedom is important. He did not like any pressure and conflicts the Mafia community has to offer.
