The Game Changer (Mafia Families #2)

Chapter 6.3 : The Party

 "Get out of my face Marigold before I kill you." Sabi ni L.

"Is that how you greet your good ol' friend?" she smirked.

"Friends? Kailan pa Marigold? Nung niloko mo kaming lahat? O nung pinag-away mo si Iry at Blaze?"

"I wasn't that bad, was I?" nang-aaasar parin sabi niya. L wanted to strangle her. "Now, now. Caille. What's with the hostility? I though you want something from me."

"L. Kailangan mong huminahon." Bulong ni Dylan.

L knew it. She really needs to calm down. May kailangan pa sila kay Marigold.

"So ikaw pala ang associate?"

"State the obvious Caille."

"It's L now."

"Oh right. I forgot it's Cathia Izobel now." Nakangising sabi ni Marigold.

"I swear if Marigold are messing with us, I'm going to put a bullet in her head the next time I see her." Reklamo ni L habang kanina pa nagd-drive si Dylan pero puro mga taniman at barns ang nadadaanan nila.

Marigold said they were heading to a party and she will meet them there. Napilitan pa si L na magsuot ng black dress para sa masquerade party ng isang organization. Ni hindi nga sinabi kung anong organization.

7:00pm yun magsisimula pero 7:30pm na sila nakapunta sa lugar na to kasi hindi rin nila in-expect ang layo ng byahe mula sa downtown. Dalawa lang ang pwedeng mapapasok ni Marigold sa loob kaya kami na ni Dylan ang sumama. Si Florence at Grey naman ay nakasunod lang saamin though they are keeping their distance. Susubukan nilang pumasok bilang staff.

"Let's just see where the address leads us." Sagot lang ni Dylan na nakasuot ng isang black suit.

Mag ilang minuto ay may natatanaw silang ilaw sa unahan. May isang napakalaking barn na pinapaligiran ng konting ilaw, it looks like your normal barn pero doon ang address. May fence sa paligid nito at sa gate ng fence ay may isang lalaking nakaupo sa tabi na naaninagan ng headlight.

"Hold it right there folks. This is a private property." Sabi ng isang lalaki at pagbaba ni Dylan ng side window.

He looked in his mid-twenties.

"Is this the address?" pinakita ni Dylan yung nakalagay sa gps.

"Yeah. But as you can see there are only barns here." Sabi niya after regarding their clothes.

"Wala bang party malapit dito?" tanong ni Dylan and the guy just shrugged. "Sorry man, I don't know what you're talking about."

"You're late." Papalapit ang isang anino at kahit hindi pa nakikita ang mukha ay alam nilang si Marigold yun.

"You know th-" biglang hinila ni Marigold yung lalaki sa tabi.

Napatingi si L at parang nagtatalo yung dalawa.Hindi masyadong marinig ni L ang sinasabi nila kasi mahina lang ito.

"...idiot." Napalakas na sabi ni Marigold at agad napatingin kay L yung lalaki.

"Dammit. I didn't know." sabi nung lalaki habang papalapit na ulit sila sa kotse.

"My apologies. I didn't know you were invited." Sabi nung lalaki sakanila. "Leave the car to me and follow Marigold inside."

Pinagbuksan nung lalaki si L na malaki ang ngiti kay L.
