Lennox' POV
I smiled evily as I scanned the photos Kei sent to me. Mga litrato iyon ng anim na mga lalaking nakabitin sa labas ng Administration building. Siguradong nahirapan ang mga otoridad na ibaba sila, we made sure of that last night.
I snapped out when my phone rang. Shadow's name came out on the screen. Agad ko iyong sinagot.
"Yahh. Yahh. I'm on my way." I immediately ended the call, not giving him a chance to talk.
I checked the time. Kaya pala napatawag siya, it's almost five pm at baka nagsisimula na sila.
Pumasok ako sa kuwarto ko and put some decent clothes on. Pagkatapos kong mag-ayos ay lumabas na ako ng apartment at bumaba sa parking lot. I went into my car and not a moment later, I was already on my way to the HHq.
It took me half an hour bago makarating sa eksaktong lugar. I parked my car, get outside and walked towards the entrance of the store. My eyebrows furrowed when I read the shop's signage: 'Heaven on Earth'
This shop is owned by Damian Pevensie. The last time I came here ay iba pa ang nakasulat sa karatula.
Pagpasok ko sa loob ay mas lalong nangunot ang noo ko."I'm sorry but we're already closed. Balik na lang po kayo--"
"The hell?!" I exclaimed.
Inilibot ko ang paningin ko sa paligid. Bondage accessories, satin blindfolds, whips, handcuffs, vibrators and erotic cosmetics a displayed everywhere. In short, this is a sextoys center.
"Lennox Lucchese! It's so nice seeing you again, mate." Damian Pevensie exclaimed.
"What happened to your bakeshop?" I asked as we do our secret handshake.
He shrugged. "Alam mo namang hindi talaga ako baker, di ba? I got bored on that one kaya pinalitan ko nito. And guess what? This is the very first sexshop here, so this got popular in the city for a few months time." He proudly said.
I made a grimace as I shook my head. "Andyan na sila?" Kapagkuway tanong ko.
"Ayy, oo nga pala. Ikaw na lang ang hinihintay. Let's go."
We walked towards one of the shelves there. Kung titingnan ay isa lamang iyong normal na lagayan ng mga produkto. Ngunit ilang sandali lang ay nahati ang gitna niyon. Isa iyong elevator na magdadala samin sa underground. Pumasok kami roon at mayamaya lang ay pababa na kami sa HHq.
Damian's shop is only a phase. Beneath this place is a huge secret facility which is the HHq, our hideout. HHq stands for Heptagon Headquarters. It is located 50 feet below the ground.
Huminto kami at lumabas ng elevator. Nilakad naman namin ang isang pasilyo. Sa dulo niyon ay bumulaga samin ang kabuuan ng headquarters. Its shape is like a huge 3 dimensional heptagon, with seven sides and seven edges.
There are many computers, monitors gadgets and training rings everywhere.Nilakad namin ang isang heptagon-shaped glass table na nasa pinakagitna. Nakita ko agad ang apat na pamilyar na mga mukha na nakaupo sa paligid ng mesa.
"Guys, look who's here!" Damian Pevensie exclaimed, stealing everyone's attention.
Agad na tumayo at tumakbo palapit sakin ang nag-iisang babae sa grupo. Si Keiko Adachi.
"Lennox!" She emotionally said and hugged me. "Masaya ako at dumating ka. We missed you here." Maluha-luha niyang sabi.
I pat the top of her head. Kahit kailan talaga napakaiyakin niya.
"The prodigal son is back." Jasper Cohen approached. "Is this for good, mate?" I just tilted my head as an answer. We did our secret shakehands.
"Kahit dumagdag ka pa, ako parin talaga ang pinakahot sa grupong to! Wazzup, Mate?" Lihim akong napairap ng marinig ko ang boses ni Yankee Zaito. Lumapit rin siya at nakipagshake hands.
"Mate, kumusta?" Shadow Laughlin formally asked as he adjust his eyeglasses. Siya ang tumawag sakin kanina. We also did our secret handshake. "Anyway, now that we're complete, please take a sit everyone."
Naupo na kami sa kanya-kanya naming pwesto. Kapansin-pansin ang isang bakanteng upuan na naroon. May inilagay si Shadow na laptop sa pwestong yun at iniharap samin.
Hindi ako lumilingon sa pwestong yun. I know who's exactly in that screen, Finnick Salvatore. Hindi siya nakapunta ng personal.
Ilang buwan narin ang nakakalipas ng huli kaming makompleto sa mesang to. This day is very sacred for us. It's the third death anniversary of our father. Every year, we make sure to gather here to honor his death and to show our gratitude for everything he did for us.
Sinalinan ni Shadow ng wine ang mga baso sa harap namin. Pagkatapos ay humarap siya at itinaas ang baso niya. "For the great Gustavo De Vinci." He said loudly, inviting us for a toast.
"For the great Gustavo De Vinci." We mimicked. We also raised our glasses then drink.
They are all my siblings, maybe not by blood but by strong bond. We were raised in one roof, by our one father.
