"Talaga? Kailangan mo ba ng tulong? I can help you if you want. Di naman ako ganun ka-busy eh."

"No, I can manage. Tsaka focus ka muna dyan sa mga ginagawa mo. I can't let myself interfere, okay?"

"Okay, fine. Whatever you say." he sighed as he placed the coffee infront of me.

I took a sip, "Gomen, Ryll. But I have to do this on my own. It kinda sucks because I have to accept this mission. But you know, it's still kinda fun. I get the chance to kill." then I smiled devilishly.

"I want to kill, too." then he pouted like a child.

"You silly guy. Matutulad ka nyan sa apat na baliw." then I laughed a bit.

He chuckled, "I don't want to be like them. Kadiri sila."

"I miss everyone." bigla kong sabi. 2 years na din simula nung huli kaming magkitakita. I miss everyone, so much.

"Yeah, me too. Kinda gay, but I don't mind." he laughed a bit. I saw sadness in his eyes. I took a sip from my coffee then umupo sa tabi nya. I hugged him tight.

"Don't worry. After all this, we'll be reunited." I smiled at that thought. He hugged me back.

"Yeah, someday."

Kumalas ako, "So may gangster ground din ba dito?" I asked. I need to go there, kung meron. Siguro makikita ko doon ang mga hinahanap ko. And I also wanna fight. *evil smile*

"Yeah. I could show you the way."

"Sure. But can we go tomorrow, please? I'm kinda tired. I have a jetlag."

"Sige, dapat maaga ka bukas, ha?"

"Yes, boss." I chuckled. He just smiled. Tumayo ako. Palabas na ako nang hinawakan nya ang braso ko. "Why?"

"Be careful, okay? Kung pwede lang kitang pilitin na wag gawin ang misyon mo. Kaso ang selfish ko naman pag ganun. I remember na marami ka nang naging misyon na dangerous."

"Hai. Hai. I'll be careful." I smiled. Nakita ko naman ang pag-aalala sa mata nya. Dahil dun, ung smile nya, di na abot tenga. He's faking it.

"Take care, Sakura. Love you,"

"I will, Ryll. Love you, too!"

[A/n: There's a big difference between 'I love you' and 'Love you'.]

I yawned. Inaantok pa ako but I managed to arrange things (and myself) in time. Ngayon kami pupunta sa lair ng gangsters.

Bumaba ako ng taxi at nakita si Ryll na nasa harap ng hotel. Tch. Ba't ba kasi di ko pinili ang hotel na 'to? He waved at me. I smiled as I make my way to him.

"We can't use a taxi to go there. Walang masyadong nakakaalam sa place na yun."

My eyebrows knitted, "But how?"

"Pupunta tayo sa old house namin dito. My car is still there. Well, my old car. But not too old. Never mind, come on. Malapit lang yun dito." nagsimula syang maglakad. Sumunod naman ako at tumabi sa kanya. I crossed my arms.
