"Long time no see Gabriel."

Gabriel? May kilala siyang taga dito?

The man whom I've concluded as the boss made an uneasy smile. Siya siguro ang tinutukoy ni Xyriel.

Binitawan na rin ng mga lalaki si Darren after Chlarjille gave them each a punch on the stomach. By the looks of it, it was a hard blow.

I should always remember that they are not ordinary. Darren was a bit shock that he was still on the moving on state.

"Xyriel," anito.

"Pleasant suprise. How are you Gabriel? I see you haven't changed," came the sturdy reply.

"Patawarin mo sana kami sa kalapastanganang nagawa namin," he pleaded. Based on his appearance, he might be around 47 to 50 yrs old.

"Now? You're forgiven. It was this monkey's fault anyway why he ended up here," Xyriel remarked while giving me a glare. "But, there is one thing I could never forget nor forgive. Where is he?"

By her words, the man's expression changed into something gloomy or scared. Halo-halo ang makikitang emosyon sa mukha nito.

"Nakausap ko na si Mr. Deverine, ako mismo ang magdadala sa kanya basta---"

"I'll wait for that Gabriel, just be sure. Because if you are lying, Death will come knocking in his door way. I'll send her. You know who she is." Her appaling grin affected the man in the worst way. Makikita mo sa mga mata nito ang takot.

I'm really confused, I know in Papa's profession he is used to this kind of situation but I didn't know na pati si Xyriel ay may alam.

"Goodbye Gabriek, I'll pray that our path will never cross again."

The three of us followed her as she went inside the car. Gustong gusto ko magtanong but I know wala ako sa posisyon.

"What the hell was that?" Darren blurted out. Ngayon lang 'ata siya natauhan.

"Well, she wasn't born a Deverine for nothing," Jille replied and gave me an insulting smile.

Hindi ko na siya pinatulan pa at pina-andar na ang kotse.

"How are we going to find this place if we only have half of our map," reklamo ni Darren.

Yeah he's right at anong oras na.

Kanina pa kami pa ikot-ikot and I am so hungry.

Wait, is that a restaurant?

"Wala pa tayong pera," he added gloomily.

"Stop the car." Atlast after 3 hours na isipan din niyang magsalita.

"Here? Why?" I asked Xyriel. Kahit tumigil kami, wala rin naman kaming pambayad sa pagkain. Tsk tsk.

"Just do what I say and follow us," she retorted. Itinigil ko ang kotse at lumabas na sila.

As soon as I went out, I saw them arranging their shirt. Xyriel was wearing a plain V neck shirt and a tattered jeans partnered with a nike black sneaker. While Chlarjille has a big black printed t-shirt and faded jeans with a white addidas sneaker.
