Morpheus Obsession

MO | ONE

THIRD PERSON POV

"Is everything clear, Lowe?" Vito Giovano puffed the smoke of his cigarette.

Morpheus adjusted on his sit. "Si." He no longer tries to show any emotion because wearing a mask, Vito wouldn't be able to know his expression.

Sa mga nakakakilala sa kaniya, nananatili siyang isang malaking misteryo. Kahit ang kaniyang mga ka grupo ay sanay na sa mukha nitong laging may suot na maskara, inaalis lamang kapag sila sila nalang ang magkakasama.

Morpheus Lowe Dallas, kilalang leader ng isang gang. Maliit na grupo ngunit ang lahat ay mistulang mga takot para kalabanin ang grupo nitong Aces.

"Before you leave, Voglio che ti prenda cura di mia figlia. Questo è il tuo primo compito." Napahinto sa paglakad si Morpheus. Hindi na niya nilingon si Vito Giovano na mas kilala sa tawag na Don.

His daughter's bodyguard? Tanong niya sa isip.

"Si." He shortly respond.

Tahimik niyang tinungo ang daan palabas. Wala ni isa siyang binalingan na kahit puro armado ang mga tauhan ay baliwala lamang sa kaniya 'yon.

"Lord Lowe, how did it go?" Aurelius asked. He toss the car key to Morpheus' direction.

"Good." Morpheus answered. He got inside the car, warming up the engine before leaving quickly.

They are used to that attitude of their boss. They no longer try to figure out what it looks like because they do not want it to be the cause of their death.

Naabutan nila sa mansion ang amo na nakaupo sa sofa. His arm is resting on the arm rest and the leg is slightly apart. Kahit naka suot ang maskara ay para itong umiidlip dahil sa pagkakasandal ng ulo sa sandalan ng kinauupuan.

"It went well right?" Keon asked hesitantly.

Grappling with the situation they shared some weird looks.

"Lord Lowe?" Pagtawag ni Gavriel sa atensyon ng leader.

They adjusted their posture and sit properly when their boss moved to face them.

"He wants me to take care of her daughter. Be her damn bodyguard. It's my first task." Morpheus said in a low tone.

The boys frowned as they look at each other.

"Mio Signore, bakit mo ba naisipang sumapi sa grupo ng Inferno Mafia? Sa pagkakaalam ko kasi, wala namang dapat problemahin sa grupo natin." Aurelius asked.

Morpheus met his gaze and saw the confusion that crossed Aurelius' features.

He remained silent for minutes. Hindi niya ugali ang magsabi ng mga plano niya sa iba.

"I don't appreciate you interfering with my decisions. Know your place, Theodore. Keep that in your mind." Malamig na sambit nito. Napatikom na lamang si Aurelius dahil alam niyang seryoso ang lider nila lalo na't tinawag pa siya gamit ang apelido.

Tahimik nilang pinagmasdan ang pagtayo ni Morpheus at pinakinggan ang huling sasabihin nito.

"Make sure that the mansion is in good condition. Tighten the security. A visitor will come tomorrow." He said before he disappeared from the sight of the men.

They release a deep sigh before lounging on the sofa.

"I have a bad feeling about what he is planning." Keon quickly drank the wine that was prepared for them.

"Don't mind it. You know how secretive he is." Zero lazily said before drinking his own wine.

"Alam mo, kaunti na lang ay magiging magkapareho na kayo ni Lowe, maskara nalang kulang baka pagkamalan ko na kayong iisang tao lang." Aurelius shooked his head. As usual, Zerosi ignored him.

Madalas pa nilang lokohin si Zerosi at Morpheus dahil halos manginig daw sila sa pagiging cold ng mga ito.

"What happened to the fight last night?" Aurelius asked.

Hindi kasi siya nakasama dahil busy ito sa paggawa ng nga pinaguutos ni Morpheus.

"Easy as pie." Gavriel proudly said. "Elite won a match last week. Lumaki ang ulo, akala siguro mapapabagsak nila tayo." He smirked.

"And?" Gavriel gave Keon and Zero a meaningful look.

"We got a Bugatti and a Rolls Royce Sweptail baby!" Masayang sigaw ni Gavriel. Inilabas ang susi ng mga sasakyang napanalunan nila kagabi.

"Lucky bastards." Pag iling ni Aurelius.

"Mauna na 'ko. Pakakainin ko pa si Leio." Pagtayo ni Keon at sumisipol na naglakad paalis.

"Me too. I miss my Baby." Mabilis na tumayo si Zero kaya naiwan ang dalawa sa sala.

Nang makaramdam si Aurelius sa nangyayari ay tumayo na rin ito bago binalingan si Gavriel.

"You're that happy huh?" Agad naman tumango si Gavriel. "Aren't you going to leave too? To take some rest?" Itinatago nito ang ngising kanina pa gustong lumabas.

"Nah bro, I'm fine. I'm celebrating." Maligalig na sambit ng lalaki at itinaas pa ang champagne glass.

"Okay. Make sure to do Lord Lowe's order. You don't want to piss him off, Gav." He showed a triumph smile before turning his back and wave his hand while walking away.

"Wait wha--- HOY BAKIT AKONG MAG ISA LANG?!" Pahabol ni Gavriel ngunit wala ng pumansin sa kaniya.

Wala na siyang nagawa kundi asikasuhin ang inutos ni Morpheus. He made sure that everything in the mansion works perfectly fine.

But then he wonder, who will be their guest for tomorrow?
