CHAPTER 29
"ARE YOU ALL serious right now?" tanong ni Nate sa kanya, kina Blaze, Night, Parisi at Racini habang nakasakay sila sa malaking van na pag-aari din nito. "We're going to war with no guns? Are you all fucked up in the head?"
Tumaas ang kamay ni Racini. "I'm on vacation and I have a no gun policy from my wife when we're on vacation," sabi nito. "And a happy wife is a happy life."
"Same," sabad ni Parisi. "When my wife says don't carry a gun, I don't carry at all."
Bumaling si Nate kay Night. "Eh, ikaw, ano'ng dahilan mo? Wala ka namang asawa."
Every single person in that van knew about Knight and Night. Kaya hindi niya pinatawagan sina Phoenix, Titus, Khairro at Andrius, mas magiging magulo lang.
"I hate guns," Night murmured. "It's noisy."
"Me too," sabad ni Blaze.
Napatingin naman sa kanya si Nate. "How about you Blake? Why no gun?"
"Ahm..." Tumikhim siya. "I was hoping to live a new peaceful life here without this that's about to unfold today, so, I left all my guns in Italy."
"New life?" Nate snorted. "In our lives, there's no such thing as peaceful. Kaya huwag na kayong umasa dahil hahabulin at hahabulin tayo ng mga nakaraan natin."
"That I agree," sabi ni Racini, "I'm still being chase. But, boy, my wife is scarier than my past."
Parisi chuckled. "Same."
Blake, Blaze, Nate and Night all murmured together. "Can't relate."
Blaze sighed. "Do we have the address?"
May ipinakita si Night sa cell phone nito. "I hacked into my brother's laptop and I got this. He has lots of secrets here in Asia."
Napatingin siya kay Night. "Is this okay, you, hacking into the count's laptop?"
"No." Night smiled. "But if it'll piss him off, then it's okay with me. I can handle him. At saka alam ko naman na 'yong itinatago niyang lihim, eh. He told me a week ago when I arrived from Cuba."
"He's the boss," paalala ni Nate kay Night.
"So am I," sabi ni Night na nagkibit-balikat lang. "I can handle him."
Racini chuckled. "You know what, we should call Daemon. Ang alam ko nasa Malaysia siya ngayon dahil may importante siyang meeting."
"Daemon Cox is in my brother's house as we speak," sabad ni Night. "Pinag-uusapan nila 'yong human traffickers na lumipat mula sa South America patungong Asya. It's a huge syndicate that's why they're having a hard time ending it."
Parisi frowned. "How huge?"
"It has branches all over the world," sagot ni Night.
"In Europe?" Racini asked, alarmed.
"They have three branches there," sabi ni Night. "Hindi pa nga lang sinasabi sa inyo kasi may ginagawa rin kayo."
"Fuck." Parisi cursed. "We should clean up, Racini."
"Pagbalik natin sa Italy," sabi ni Racini na nakatiim ang mga bagang.
"Deal," sabi ni Parisi, saka tumingin sa kanya. "What's the plan?"
Umiling siya. "None. Let's enter and fuck their brains out."
Nate grimaced. "Bakit ba hindi na ako nagulat na wala kayong plano? Ba't n'yo pa ako tinawagan? Hustisya naman sa 'kin. I'm just a thief and a courier."
