Chapter 9: Fall of Jack The Ripper

JESSICA.

NAGISING na lang ako nang maramdaman kong may malamig na tubig ang sumaboy sa mukha ko. Sa pagmulat ng aking mga mata ay bumungad sa akin ang mukha ng isang babae. It was blurred at first but one minute passed, nagiging malinaw na sa akin kung sino iyon. An unfamiliar face of a girl standing right in front of me and on her right hand, she was holding a cup of water.

I tried to move a little bit but I realized that I am being tied in a chair. The girl smirked as she saw how pathetic I am right now.

"If you are planning to escape, don't ever try it. It just a waste of time and you will be die here right away. Poor thing." She said as she crossed her arms.

"I don't have any plans to escape my fate that's why I am here. I know that you were following me and I have no choice but to play with your little dumb game." I said coldly and my emotionless eyes stared on her furious gaze. Everything I said is the truth, anyway. I don't fear death and I am here for only one important reason, that's why I acted like a dumb so that I can play her little game.

I don't know who is she but it's positively says that she is the one who I am looking for. Her body figure made me think that it was her. The one who can answer my questions and the one who causes numerous killings in the whole campus, Jack the Ripper.

Napakuyom ang kamao niya dahil sa sinabi ko but in a few seconds, her emotion changes and a ghost of smirk appears in her lips. Hinugot niya ang kanyang likuran at nakita kong isang baril iyon.

"And you have the guts to say that to the one who will going to kill you. I don't mind whatever you says, bitch."

"Oh, really?" I scoffed. "Why I can sense that you are trembling in fear? Scared now, Jack the Ripper?" Hindi natatakot sa kanya. In fact, I am really enjoying this scene. I don't know why but maybe because Kris said is true. I am the heiress of the king of the mafia world. I am Jessica Jung.

"Shut up!" Humigpit ang hawak niya sa baril at itinutok sa akin. I did not flinch a bit. I've just stare at the gun that she will be going to fired in the next minutes and observing her reactions.

"You don't understand what I've feel! You don't know how it is painful for me when I learned that you killed her!" She shouted. "You always showed that kind of face like you wouldn't care about her death! I will make you pay! I will going to kill you!"

I keep myself on my own composture. "I don't have an idea on what are you talking about-"

"Oh. I remember you forgot all about me, my name, my voice, our promise and my sister!" Her voice raised.

"What?!" I am now feeling confused now. Who is this girl? Did I met her somewhere? And, sister? What is she talking about?

"You are shocked now?" Natawa siya ng pilit. "It was your fault! Because of you, I am a killer right now and my hands get dirty! Because of you, she died!" Tears started to fall down on her cheeks.

Mas lalo akong nalito. My fault? Those recent killings caused by her was my fault?

"You are a monster! A bad omen and I regret those times when Tiffany and I meet you!"

My eyes widened on what she said. I look on her eyes to confirm if she was bluffing but the only thing that I have saw is rage and darkness. And in her eyes, it was like a piece of memories captured by my head.

It was raining so hard, back then. I was running in the middle of hallway on my mansion when I was accidentally tripped on the floor. My shoes are wet because I stayed outside until the teardrops of rain flow through my body.

"Aray.." Mahina kong sabi at nakita kong nagalusan ang  tuhod ko sa kakatakbo. Pinilit kong tumayo ngunit hindi ko magawa dahil kumikirot ito kapag sinubukan ko itong i-istretch.

Napalinga ako sa paligid ko para makahingi ng tulong. Tahimik iyon at walang masyadong tao tsaka ko lang naalala na wala pala ngayon ang mga katulong at mga bodyguards ko dahil sa pag-aakalang nasa loob ako ng aking silid. Tinakasan ko ang mga bantay ko dahil sa hindi nila pagpayag na lumabas ako ng mansyon kaya ngayon ay nababagot na ako sa aking silid.

"Are you okay, kid?"

Napatingin ako sa aking harapan nang makarinig ako ng isang batang boses ng babae. Isang batang babae na sa tingin ko ay nasa edad ko ang nakatayo ngayon sa aking harapan. Dumukwang ito at ang kaniyang mga mata ay nagtatanong na nakatingin sa akin.

Sa tabi niya ay may kasama siyang isang babaeng mas matangkad kaysa sa nauna. Nakangiti sila sa akin ngunit ang mga mata ay parehas na nag-aalala. Magkaparehas ang kulay at kislap ng kanilang mga mata, kulay lupa.

"Yup. I'm fine.." Sinubukan kong tumayo ngunit napabalik ako sa aking puwesto. Napaigik ako sa kirot na naramdaman ko at pakiramdam ko ay isa akong kaawa-awang nilalang sa kanilang harapan. Inaasahan ko na matatawa sila katulad ng ilang mga batang nakakasalamuha ko ngunit nagulat ako sa kanilang sunod na ginawa.

Hinawakan nilang dalawa ang magkabilang kamay ko at tinulungan ako sa pagtayo. Dahan-dahan nila akong inalalayan patungo sa upuan na nasa gilid lang namin.

"Huwag mong pilitin pang tumayo kung hindi mo na kaya." The taller girl said then she glanced at the girl beside her. "Tiffany, where is my bag? Go and find the band aid there." she asked.

"Alright, Ate Sunny." Ipinakita ng batang babaeng nagngangalang Tiffany ang bag nito at may hinalungkat sa loob nito. Sa kabila ng ginagawa ay sumungaw ang ngiti sa labi ng babae at masayang iniabot sa kapatid ang hinihingi.

The girl named Sunny picked the band aid and she smiled at me before putting it on my bleeding knee.

"What is your name, little girl?" The girl gracefully asked.

Nagulat ako roon. Ngayon lang may nagtanong sa akin kung ano ang pangalan ko. Mostly, some of kids that I am with had never tried to asked me some questions and never been made friends to me. There was a line between me and them because of my responsibility as the daughter of a Mafia King that's why I was hesitant at first but managed to  answer her question.

"Jessica Jung." Sa mahinang boses ko iyon sinabi at napayuko.

"Jessica Jung?! What a long name." Sunny chuckled then looked at the girl beside her.

"Can we call you Jessie or Sica?" Tiffany bubbily said then held both of my hands.

"You can choose whatever you want." Medyo nagulat pa ako sa naging reaksiyon nila. I thought when they heard my name, they will be frightened at me but instead they smiling at me and wanted to give me some nicknames.

"Talaga? I think Jessie really suits you." She said happily.

"Hey, Sissy. Is it good right?" Naging tanong niya pa sa kapatid niya.

"Yeah. It's cute." Ngumiti pa sa akin ang babae. "I am Sunny and this is my younger sister, Tiffany." Pagpapakilala ng babae sa akin.

I couldn't help but to smile back at her. Ang kanilang mga ngiti ay magaan at nakakahawa na para bang kung sino man ang makakita noon ay mapapangiti na lang basta-basta. And it looks like I meet two incredible and wonderful person.

"Then it's settled now." Tiffany let go of my hand and stand up. She clapped her hands and looked at us with a wide smile on her face.

"Both of us will become friends.." She smile and held our hands together.

"Friends?" I asked.

Tumango pa ito nang nakangiti. "Yup. Friends.." Her smile made me feel that I am not going to alone forever in this world. Her smile made me realized that there are some people who wants to be my friend. A smile that made my heart cries in joy.

"Okay." We both hold our hands together. "Let's do a vow that assured our friendship." Sunny said smiling while looking to the both of us.

I never thought that in an instant, I've made friend with someone. In all of my life, being alone is where my world revolves. I don't want to be a friend of someone because of my identity.

When I was one year old, my father teaches me on how to fight and killed someone without a hesitation. I mastered all of the techniques in combat fighting named it, hand to hand or by the use of deadly weapon, I nailed all of them. 

I've become merciless and coldhearted to others that's why I am afraid to kill some innocent people when I lose my self-control.

I managed to put my distance far from those innocent people because of what was my personality is and they avoiding me, likewise. When they heard my name, they are already trembling in fear and it made me feel sad somehow.

My mother died after she was given birth to me. My dad become cold and his eyes are merciless but he didn't tried leave me alone. Even though he teaches me to harmed others, I've still love him and follow what he says. And now...

My perspective changed. I even broke the one and only law that my father made - don't make friends. I found myself not always following his orders or even fighting with no mercy. Everything changes when I made a vow to those two, my bestfriends, Tiffany Montecillo and Sunny Montecillo.

Muling naibalik ang diwa ko sa realidad nang maalala ko ang kalahati sa mga alaala ko bago pa ang pangyayaring kumitil sa buhay ng aking ama. Napatingin ako sa babaeng nasa harapan ko, ang babaeng itinuring kong kaibigan na ngayon ay galit na galit na sa akin at gustong-gusto akong patayin. At lubos kong ikinagulat na siya pala ang salarin sa mga patayang nagaganap sa loob ng campus.

"S-sunny..." Tears fell into my cheeks while looking at her in a shocked expression. Madami akong gustong itanong ngunit isang tanong lang ang lumabas mula sa mga bibig ko.

"Why did you killed those innocent people?! Why did you changed? Have you forgotten what you are?" I can't believe this! Why would she involved herself in those merciless crimes?

"Hindi pa ba malinaw sayo iyon? I did those for justice! I did those thing so that Tiffany will never be alone now. I did those thing for my dead sister's sake!" She laughed a little bit but now her expression changed and it was now full of rage.

"It was peaceful at first but then when I learned that you are in this school, anger consumes me. You have the guts to show up your face in front of my sister's school like it was not happened? You have the guts to make friends with some crazy bunches of idiots without asking to her if it was okay for her feelings?! I really hate you, Jessica! Because of you, she died! You didn't have the courage to protect her kahit na ikaw ang nasa tabi niya palagi! Nagawa mo pang kalimutan ang pangako natin noong una tayong magkita at ewan ko lang kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay laging nasa iyo ang atensiyon ni Tiffany. I really really hate you, Jessica!"

Napayuko na lamang ako sa mga pinagsasabi niya. She was right. Ako ang nasa tabi niya palagi pero hinayaan ko lang siyang mamatay. Naging duwag ako at mahina. Nakalimutan ko rin ang pinangako namin sa isa't isa, labing-limang taon na ang nakakalipas. Nagkalayo kami ng landas at muling nagkita matapos ng limang taon ngunit nanatili pa rin ang pagkalimot ko sa kaniya at maging sa mga mahahalagang pangyayari noong mga panahong kasama ko sila. Somehow, I felt useless. If I am a true friend, hindi ko sana sila makakalimutan kahit na magka-amnesia man ako. .

I AM AN USELESS FRIEND.

"Kaya mas nakakabuti siguro kung mawala ka na ngayon! Mas nakakabuti pa na mamatay ka na sa aking mga kamay! Kung hindi ka pa namin nakilala, hindi sana nagulo ang buhay namin ngayon! Mamatay ka na!" Galit ang tanging nangingibabaw sa boses niya. Inilapit niya sa aking sentido ang baril at ramdam ko ang lamig nito but I didn't flinched a bit. Nanginginig man ay ipinuwesto niya ang daliri niya sa gatilyo ng baril ngunit bago pa man iyon kalabitin ay nagsalita siya.

"Any last words, bitch?" She asked while smirking.

"Maybe you're right.." Nag-angat ako ng tingin mula sa pagkakayuko. I looked at her eyes and smiled. "I should die right now. If I am not here she will be staying alive and both of you will lived happily ever after. If I didn't made friends with you, things will never be complicated." My words made her stop. I don't know why but maybe revenge is flowing into her head right now.

"Hurry up and kill me. Pull the trigger now and this is the way na makakapaghiganti ka sa akin atleast justice is served."

And I guess this is my last day in this world but I am not sad because I've already unlocked the questions in my head. Hindi ko man mahanap ang tunay na pumatay kay Tiffany atleast nandito si Sunny para ipagpatuloy ang nasimulan ko.

"But before you pull the trigger I just want you to ask a favor." Hindi siya nagsalita at  nanatili siyang nakatulala sa akin.

"Hanapin mo kung sinuman ang pumatay kay Tiffany at pakisabi na rin kina Yuri at Taeyeon na huwag silang umiyak dahil hindi naman kami close and please send my regards to Kris and the gangs." I smiled and close my eyes.

Handa na akong tanggapin ang kapalaran ko.

I've waited for the bullet to hit my head but the next thing I heard is only the sobs and cries. Iminulat ko ang aking mga mata para tingnan kung ano ang nangyayari ngunit nagulat na lang ako nang kalagin niya ako at yakapin ako ng babae.

"You're so cold. Paano mo nagagawang parang laro ang buhay mo, Jessica? You are still the same Jessica that we know. I'm sorry for all the sins that I did. I'm so sorry." Humikbi siya sa likod ko at niyakap ako.

Napangiti ako ng kimi at niyakap siya pabalik. "It's okay, Sunny. Tiffany will be mad at you if she saw you crying like this.."

"But she already mad at what I did. She will never forgive me. I've killed thousands of lives and I am ashamed on what I done. I realized that killing innocent lives doesn't make her happy.."

"She already forgiven you, Sunny. Sinong kapatid ba ang hindi natitiis ang sariling kapatid?" Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap sa kanya at tiningnan siya sa mukha.

Basa ng luha ang kanyang mukha. It was full of sadness and longiness for something that she lose.

"Jessica..." Bumulalas siya ng iyak at muli akong niyakap ng mahigpit.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorr-"

BANG!

Tumigas ako sa kinauupuan ko. Nanlalaki ang mga matang nakatingin sa babaeng kanina lang ay yakap-yakap ko. May dugo ito sa bandang tiyan niya at napabitaw siya sa pagkakayakap sa akin.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Naging sunod-sunod ang pagputok ng baril na hindi ko alam kung saan nagmula. Hindi ako natinag sa kinauupuan dahil sa sobrang gulat. Napakabilis ng pangyayari at parang tumigil ang mundo ko nang makita ko na lang siya na nakahandusay sa sahig at punong-puno ng dugo. Nag-aagaw buhay.

"Jessica... I'm sorry..."

"No! Sunny!" I shouted as I ran towards her and hold her hands tightly. Wala na akong pakialam kung mamantsahan ng dugo ang uniporme ko.

"Hang on there. Hihingi ako ng tulo-"

"Hindi na kailangan." She cutted me off. Napadura siya ng dugo ngunit pagkuwan ay gumuhit ang  ngiti sa labi. "Hindi na ako magtatagal pa..."

"Hindi! Hindi! Mabubuhay ka pa. May pag-asa pa.." Umiling-iling ako at nagsimulang tumulo ang luha sa aking pisngi.

"It's no use, Jessica. I can feel that this is my end and my sister will coming here right now para sunduin ako." Huminto siya saglit at tumitig sa aking mga mata.

"No matter what happens, don't let your tears shed away your smile. Smile for me. Be brave and don't forget that all of your friends are always there for you.."

"I know but if you leave me, I will be alone again.."

"You're wrong. You already have many friends, those crazy people, right? I can feel that they are important to you even though you act so cold to them. You're heart says that you valued them more than us and I'm so happy for you. You are not alone now and you even got stronger.."

Hindi ako nagsalita at nanatili akong humagulhol sa harapan niya. Hinawakan niya ng mahigpit ang aking kamay at sinuklay ang aking buhok.

"And lastly before I go, just promised me to don't stop to seek for justice for my sister and don't let darkness swallow your heart. Kahit na wala na kami ni Tiffany sa tabi mo ay palagi kaming nakamasid sayo. We will protect you, no matter what. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for letting me go from the hands of the darkness. I will never forget you and I missed you, Jessica.."

Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, hindi tumigil sa pag-agos ang aking mga luha. Pinagmamasdan ko siyang unti-unting bumibigay ang mga talukap ng kanyang mga mata at lumuwag ang pagkakahawak niya sa akin matapos ng ilang sandali.

Her heat in her body slowly devoured by the cold. She is now dead. Jack the Ripper had fallen. The existence of hers was slowly disappearing in this cruel world.

"Why?.." Hindi matapos ang sasabihin ko at muli akong humikbi habang nakatingin sa walang buhay niyang katawan.

Why is it happening to me? Why did you leave me? Why? Why?

Those are the questions that I wanted to shout right in front of her cold body but even though I tried to move my mouth, there is no words escaped. All I heard from my ears is my cries of pain and anger. It's my first time to cry in this way and to feel like I want to take a revenge on their death.

But how can I do it if my heart was in pained? And I couldn't think straight because of the pain inflicted into my heart. I don't have an idea who did this thing to her.

Nagpatuloy ako sa pag-iyak hanggang sa maramdaman ko na lang na may mainit na braso ang yumakap sa aking likuran.

I looked at him and he is staring into my eyes, telling me that I am not alone. I faced him and hugged him tightly then cried into his warm massive chest.

"Keep crying on my chest, my princess.. Ssshh... I will be here for you.."

"Thanks, Kris." I said in between my sobs.

NANATILI akong nakayakap sa bisig ni Kris. Iyak ako ng iyak. Hindi ko alam kung ilang minuto kaming nasa ganoong posisyon hanggang sa ako ang bumasag sa katahimikang bumabalot sa amin.

"How did you know that I am here?" Medyo paos pa ako nang itanong ko iyon.

"I'll follow you." He replied.

"Uh.." Napatango ako at muling nahagip ng aking mga mata ang walang-buhay na katawan ni Sunny.

Awtomatikong tumulo ang mga luha sa aking mga mata at napahagulhol muli sa mainit at matigas na dibdib ng binata.

"It's my fault.. I didn't do anything just to save her.. I'm so useless..."

"Of all people, bakit kung sino pa ang malapit sakin ay siya pa ang napahamak?! Tell me, why is it happening to me? Maybe, I am a cursed!" I angrily spatted.

Naramdaman ko ang mainit niyang kamay na humaplos sa buhok ko. He leaned in to my ear and whispered something.

"No, you're not. You should accept the fact that fighting is legal in this school kaya huwag ka ng magtaka kung madamay pa ang iilang mga inosenteng tao." I can feel his sympathy in his voice, his sadness for my loss..

"Pero namatay siya para sa akin.. Namatay siya habang yakap-yakap ko siya at humihingi ng tawad... Namatay siya para-"

He put his index finger into my lips. "Hush, Jessica. Don't blame yourself for her death, put your on blame on those people who killed her.."

Nagpatuloy siya sa pagsasalita nang mapansin na hindi agad ako nakapagsalita. "Life is short in this world. We can't predict what will be happen to us in the next future whether we will die or keep on continue in living. This world is just like a survival game. We need to play in order to survive, we have only to choices, to move forward or to step backward. To accept the game or to quit it, the answer is only in your heart."

"But hindi siya magiging Jack the Ripper kapag hindi ko hinayaang mamatay si Tiffany. Kahit pagbaliktarin mo pa ang sitwasyon ako pa rin ang may kasalanan."

"That's not your fault. It's her choice. In Sunny's case, walang may kasalanan sa nangyari. Her heart is the one who decide on what she  was going to do next, iyon ay ang maging si Jack the Ripper."

Hinawakan niya ang pisngi ko at marahan iyong hinaplos. He smiled at me and in a soft and cormfy voice, he spoke.

"Stop blaming yourself and move forward. Don't worry, I am on your side.."

"Kris..." I called his name and hug him tightly. I don't care kung ano man ang isipin niya ngayon, ang mahalaga ay maipahayag ko ang pagpapasalamat ko sa kanya.

"Thank you for being here. Thank you. I promised that I will do what should I do.. I will change this world for you, for Sunny, and for Jessica.. and to all those people who lose their lives.."

I heard him chuckled and he pat my hair. "That's my princess.."

Tumango ako sa kanya at kumalas sa pagkakayakap. Itinapon ko ang tingin ko sa nakahandusay na bangkay ni Sunny. Nilapitan ko iyon at kinuha ko ang baril na nasa tabi nito at sinira.

Nagbabaga ang mga mata ko sa tindi ng nararamdaman ko ngayon. "I will make them pay for you, Sunny. And this time I will going to play their game at sinisiguro kong ako ang mananalo sa larong ito.."

Hindi ko pinapangako iyon bagkus ay gagawin ko. Hinding-hindi ako titigil hangga't hindi ko nakakamit ang hustisya sa pagkamatay ng dalawang matalik kong kaibigan. Hindi na ako magpapakita ng awa sa kanila. If this what they want, then I will give them what they doesn't want.

This is the beginning of my game..

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"DID YOU ALREADY KILL HER?" A man sitting in a sofa asked. He lighted up the cigar in his hands and put it into his mouth. Itinapon niya ang walang laman na kaha sa apuyang nasa harapan niya at pinagmasdan niya ito na unti-unting nilamon ng apoy.

"Yes, Almighty One. I didn't expect na tatalikuran tayo ni Second. Magaling pa naman siya at malinis gumawa ng trabaho."

"Good work, First. Iyon lang ang dapat sa kanya even though she is good on her work but she is a traitor, we should kill her. Traitors doesn't have a place in our pact. Malinaw na nakasaad iyon sa batas una palang noong sumali kayo dito."

"Roger that, Almighty One." He said but deep inside he was feeling guilty on what he did. Kahit papaano ay napalapit na siya sa dalagang si Sunny. At hindi niya akalaing magtataksil ito at mas pipiliin pa ang bestfriend nito kaysa sa kanya.

"You don't have to feel guilty on what you did, First. Tama lang iyong ginawa mo. You just proved your loyalty to me." The one who called Almighty One spoke when he noticed the uneasiness of his comrade.

"You should put all of your blame on this girl. If she didn't trick her then Second is still alive now." Dagdag pa nito at humithit ng sigarilyo.

Napakuyom ang kamao niya dahil sa sinabi ng lalaki. Yes, he is right. If that Jessica Jung wouldn't interfere then the woman he love secretly is still alive until now.

He love and adored Second that much since she joined the Six Knights In The Round Table.

He love everything that she do, her smile, her cry, her movement, her opinion, her laughter, and everything that she have.

All of them was special to him but now those special things had vanished along with the cold wind, together with those memories with her when they are in a mission. All of that was because of that girl!

That girl stole everything from her! It's her fault!

Biglang nagbukas ang pintuan. Sobrang rahas niyon at pumasok doon ang galit na galit na mukha ni Third. Mabibigat ang mga paa nito habang naglalakad patungo sa direksiyon ng lalaking tinatawag nilang Almighty One tsaka inundayan ito ng suntok sa panga.

"Walang hiya ka!"

Napagilid ang mukha ng lalaki at sumilay ang ngisi sa gilid ng kaniyang labi. Inawat siya ni First ngunit itinulak nito ang lalaki dahilan kung bakit napahiga ito sa marmol na sahig.

"YOU KILLED HER! YOU FVCKING KILL HER! IT'S ALL OF YOUR GODAMM FAULT!"

Hinawakan ni Third ang kuwelyo ng lalaki at ambang susuntukin ito ngunit sa isang iglap ay natigilan ito sa ere, dumura ng dugo at ilang segundo lang ay bumulagta ito sa semento.

Gulat na gulat si First sa nangyari sa kanyang kasamahan. Hindi siya makapaniwalang nagagawang patayin ng kaniyang pinuno ang nagwawalang lalaki sa loob lamang ng isang segundo. He was just too powerful and dangerous than him.

"It's your fault... K-kung hindi lang niya tinanggap ang m-mission na iyon..." Hinang-hina man ngunit nagawa pa rin itong magsalita.

Balak lapitin at iligtas ni First ang naghihinalong kasama ngunit pinigilan siya ng kanilang pinuno.

"Stop right there, First. You will become a traitor if you help this rebel." Matapos noon ay kinasa nito ang baril na hawak niya kanina pa at itinutok sa lalaking nakabulagta.

"Any last word, Third?" He asked while smirking.

"BASTARD! Mamatay ka sana, gago. Wala kang kasing sama! Lubos kong pinagsisihan na sumali sa grupo na ito! At kung alam ko lang na magiging ganito hindi ko na sana siya inaya na sumali dito! Gago kay-"

Umalingawngaw ang putok ng baril sa buong silid. Sa sandaling iyon ay nakaramdam si First ng pagkatakot sa kanilang pinuno. Napuno ng dugo ang buong katawan ng walang buhay na lalaki at napaiwas siya ng tingin.

"There is no place for traitors and jerk in our pact. Once you enter in this pact, there is no way that you can escape." Walang emosyong sabi ng lalaki at nagsindi ng sigarilyo.

"Clean this mess, First." The man added and meet his gaze. "At ikaw na rin ang bahala sa kung ano ang gagawin mo sa bangkay ng lalaking ito. I will leave everything to you and if your co-members asked about Third, tell him that he was accidentally killed by one of my men..."

"Why don't you want to tell the truth?" First asked.

A smirk appears on his handsome face. "If I tell them the truth our freedom would not be granted. Do you want that?"

"Our freedom..." At muli niyang naalala kung bakit sila sumali sa pact na ito, ang makamit ang kalayaang  matagal nilang inaasam.

Their one and only goal is to rule over the world so that they can do whatever they want. They are killing countless people for them to survive and achieve happiness.

But in his perspective, there is something wrong within it. There is something that he can't determine. He thought that their master's goal is not just freedom and now he was sure about that pero wala na siyang pakialam doon.

"I don't want that right now.." He replied making the man to look at him.

"All I want is justice for her.." Then anger suddenly consumed his heart.

He couldn't care about the real goal of their master. All he desire was to kill that girl. To kill Jessica Jung.

"I want to kill her..."

"Chill, First. Dadating din tayo diyan pero ngayon kailangan muna natin siyang paglaruan at pahirapan."

"But-"

"I will leave the tormenting thing to you but killing her? It's my job to do." Then he smirked and ran his tongue through his lips while looking at her picture.
