Their Identities

Chapter 43- Doom

Gray's POV

We're currently waiting for Beelzebub's weaponry shipment. I can't wait to see that demon's monstrous face when he figured out that we're throwing him a gory surprise in a few minutes.

It will surely put a huge dent in Beelzebub's plans

A delay in his shipment would decline Beelzebub's revenue. There's no doubt.

"It's almost twelve midnight. They will be here any minute from now. Is everything ready?" I asked Brye while tapping my fingers on the gun

"Yes, boss. Kanya-kanya na silang pwesto at naghahanap ng mapagtataguan. Napapalibutan na nila kahit saang sulok nitong daungan. Naghihintay nalang ang mga 'Soldato' natin sa susunod mong iuutos."

I nodded in agreement "That's good to hear."

As much as possible, I am trying to hide how bothered I am since yesterday. After meeting my colleagues in the underground transaction, I returned home immediately only to find out that Raven's not there. Since then, she haven't called or texted me.

Damn it. What's wrong with her?

"Something's bothering you Gray."

My attention was forced back to Brye. He's been a friend of mine even before I started my own Mafia family. He's like a brother to me. Hiding something from him would be unattainable. Let's just say that he knows me better than anyone else.

I sighed "They took her."

Wait for your downfall, Skylarks.

"Putcha.Tama ang hinala mo boss nung una pa lang. Pero 'di ko inasahang ganito kabilis. May alam na kaya si Raven?"

I just shrugged

"Hindi ito maganda. Magkaiba ang mundo n'yo boss. Alam kong gagawin ng mga Skylarks ang lahat para mahadlangan kung ano mang namamagitan sa inyung dalawa ni Raven ngayon."

I clenched my fist "They won't lay a hand on her. I won't let them."

"Pero Gray, alam nating hindi madaling kalabanin ang mga Skylarks. Saksi ako sa paghihirap na dinanas mo sa mga kamay nila. Kung alam ko lang sana na isang Skylark si Raven noon pa lang, pinigilan ko na sana kayong magkatagpo. Ngunit, ang tadhana na ang gumawa ng paraan. It's inevitable."

He sighed before he continues to speak "Parang kapatid na kita Gray. Ayokong bumalik ka na naman sa dati."

I transferred my gaze on the road "I know Brye. I know. You don't have to remind me how stupid I was before."

"One more thing. Don't do anything stupid, Gray. Raven's life is at risk."

I just stared at my gun.

I will definitely do something stupid

If I knew that Raven's going to leave me, I should've beg her to stay. That would be so stupid. But people do crazy shit for love.

I'll get her back.

"Boss, andito na sila."

I cocked my gun "Be ready."

Raven's POV

12 AM na pala. Pero hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako makatulog. Kinakabahan ako pero hindi ko alam kung bakit nakakaramdam ako ng ganito.

Namimiss ko na si Gray. Gusto ko syang yakapin. Gusto kong ipaliwanag sa kanya kung bakit bigla nalang akong nawala. Gusto ko siyang tanungin kung may alam ba sya tungkol sa pagkatao ko.
