Finding Rhegitt Strife

Six

Rhegitt's POV

After seeing Harold at the coffee shop three days ago, I decided not to visit the shop for the mean time. Two reasons only.

One, Harold suspected that I'm in the Philippines and he is doing whatever he can to make me come home. Two, after an intimate moment with Jai I'm not sure how to face her.

Kissing her is not a big deal, but the feeling when I kissed her is so much of a big deal. I don't understand myself after that scene. We were awkward and now its been three days since I last saw her. Whether I like it or not, I kinda missed her.

It's only been a short time but I grew close to her, also to her friends.

Ugh! Enough of thinking of useless things. I sipped my red wine from the wine glass. I'm back at my place where I'm staying for the mean time. I'm also watching the news, the news of me being gone is not televised anymore. I guess they're keeping it hidden.

My phone rang and I fished it out my pocket. As I saw the name I quickly answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hello. Is this Ghitt Asher?" The voice is familiar but I don't know who is it.

"Speaking."

"Si Jason po ito, ah I mean this is Jason the brother of Jai." Ah yes! The brother, the deal we talked about.

"Meet me at the front of the coffee shop. I'll be there at 20 minutes." I ended the call and sipped the remaining wine. I grabbed my jacket and car keys and drove towards the coffee shop.

When I arrived I didn't bother to come out, good thing I saw Jason and I rolled down the window. "Hop in." Good thing he heard me clearly and quickly went in the car.

It's already afternoon and Jai's class will be over soon, so maybe she's near the coffee shop and arriving anytime soon for her job.

I drove away and went to an abandoned building. It's fine because I owned the property now. The old fence is open so that means they're here now.

"Let's go." I said to Jason after parking the car. "What are we doing here? Isn't this illegal?" I smiled and nodded at him, "It is but don't worry I got it covered. Let's go in they're waiting inside." I grabbed the bag inside the backseat before going out the car.

He was confused to whom I was pertaining to. "You'll see." I smirked.

I opened the door and saw Saminto and his boys. "Wha- Why are they here Ghitt?"

"We have a deal remember?" I saw him nod slowly, maybe his letting it all sink in.

"Saminto!" I called the the leader of the gang. He turned and all his boys are ready for some action. "Huwag mo kong tawagin sa pangalan na yan!" I saw him grit his teeth.

"Okay fine. Here's the money Jason owe you." I tossed him the bag and the other guy picked it up. Counted the money and whispered something to Saminto.

"This is too many money." The one holding the bag said. I smirked. "It's because I want you to work for me."

All of them were surprised including Jayson. "Ano raw?!" Saminto asked.

"Translate it to them Jason." I said, "A-Ah ye-yes. Gusto niya raw mag trabaho kayo sakanya." He said.

"At bakit naman aber?! Kaya namin kayong bugbugin at kunin ang pera ngayon mismo. Bakit naman kami mag tratrabaho sa isang babae?!"

I sighed, damn I could be deaf just hearing Saminto whine. "Hear me out Saminto, I could double the money if you could get the job done. I know you have connections with the underground world." I said.
