S7VEN: A TEASER

"BASTANTE!"

Nahinto sa ere ang kamao ni Romero na akmang ipang uunday ng suntok, sa nakalugmok at nakataling lalake nang marining ang sigaw ko.

"Fuck," annoyed with how this whole thing bores me, I walked towards the middle of the filthy room we were at.

Amoy sa buong silid na kinaroroonan namin ang masangsang na halimuyak ng lusak at imbornal mula sa di kalayuan. Nakakasulasok para sa iba, but not to me, it fuels my blood. It makes my inner demon smile in anticapition.

"Castro, I'm very disappointed. Hindi ka masayang kalaro,I like people who are very creative when it comes to their hiding place."

Nakangiti ako habang sinasabi 'yon pero mas lalong nanliit dahil sa pagkakaluhod ang lalakeng nasa harapan ko. Halos halikan na nito ang suot kong sapatos.

Napailing ako sa istura niya. Malayo sa Castro na kilala kong laging malinis at mukhang di pa nakikilala ang salitang putik.

Nakagapos ito,halos di na maibuka ang mga mata at naghalo ang dugo, sipon,pawis at luha sa mukha nitong alsado na sa pagkamaga. He's helpless and I can feel his fear na lalong nag pangiti sa kin.

When was the last time I talked or have a chit-chat like this with someone? Four months or maybe half of the year. It's been too long I can't remember it. Damn, I shouldn't be here, I hated to be here.

My people do the interrogation, not me unless it is important and a bit of personal. Isa pa, ayaw na ayaw ng mga tao ko at lalo na ng mga kapatid ko ang nakikialam ako sa mga ganitong gawain,why? Because it will be messy, fucking horrid kind of messy. The cleaner hates it when I'm involved because I love seeing fucking blood.

"Señor I-im really sorry.P-patawarin n'yo po ako."

Hilaw na tawa ang isinukli ko sa sinabi niya. Patawarin? Nah,ilang beses ko ng narinig ang gasgas na dahilang 'yon at lagi na isa lang ang kinahahantungan ng mga tontang sumubok na mangatwiran sa kin ng ganon.

They're all buried six feet under.

"Puñeta, Castro! Napaka tonto mo. There's no room for forgiveness in this organization. Don't waste my time. Tell me who the fuck tried to sabotage the operation?!" Puno ng iritasyong saad ko sa kanya. Inuubos na ng tarantadong ito ang pasensiya ko na kasing liit lang ng butil ng monggo.

I glared at him contemplating which part should I focus my attention on first. The common choice, fingers or I'll be creative today. The latter seems a very good idea. Kabayaran na din sa pang aabala niya sa 'kin ngayong araw.

"S-señor, I really don't know. They sent me anonymous letters and emails.Kinailangan ko lang ng pera para sa asawa ko Señor,maniwala ka," pagmamakawa nito at pilit na ibinubuka ang kaliwang mata.

"Tsk! Strike two Castro," sabay tadyak ko lalamunan niya. Napa igik ito dahilan para mapangiti akong lalo.

I'm decided, tongue it is.

Hinubad ko ang suot na coat at itinapon iyon, I know na may sasalo non or else head will roll.

"I hate liars and traitors, Castro. And you fucking became both!" I said angrily and punch him with my five fingers. It's one of my favorite toys that's why I always have it inside my pocket.

Nakalugmok na ito at bahaw ang tinig na nagmamakaawa. I nod in Mario's direction and without a word one of my hefes handed me a bolt cutter.

"Magnifico," I grinned while looking at the tool in my hand.

Bahagyang kumislap ang dulo niyon na lalong naging dahilan ng pag ngisi ko. Bigla akong nakaramadam ng di matatawarang excitement.

"Boss."

I heard Romero's voice from behind.

"Speak!" I barked.

"S-señora's at the office."

"Fuck! Towel!" Bulyaw ko't napaungol ako nang makitang may bahid ng dugo ang puting polo ko.

Shit!

"Let her roam around the floor, tell her I'm in-"

My phone rang and I hurriedly took it out of my pocket. Walking towards the door, I answered it while giving a deathly glare to everyone who's with me inside the room. Alam nilang katumbas ng isang maling pag ubo ang buhay nila, kung maaaring 'wag silang huminga ng mga oras na iyon ay gagawin nilang lahat. They don't want to piss me off.

"Santy."

"H-hi. Ahm, where are you?"

"Just finishing some meeting outside. Miss me?" Arching a brow, I asked her. I'm still amused by how she could change my mood by just saying a simple Hello.

"Y-yeah."

"Sweet. Where are you, angel?"

"Here at the casino. I'll come back later when you're done. Don't mind me," malambing na sabi nito sa kabilang linya. I closed my eyes as I heard the disappointment she was trying to hide.

"No. Stay. Give me 5 minutes, Baby," I said roughly and hurriedly grabbed my Glock 20 that's been sitting on my table.

I knew she smiles on the other side. She always does that whenever I call her my favorite endearment.

"Okay.Bye, Seite."

She hanged up.

"Clothes!Fuck!" Sigaw ko kay Romero at mabilis na hinablot ang coat. "Cut his fingers and send it to his wife. We're not done with him. Is that clear?"

Parang mga robot na sabay-sabay na nagtanguan ang mga tauhan ko at nag koro pa na ng 'Yes, Boss'.

Palahaw at walang tigil na pagmamakaawa ni Castro ang narinig ko habang nagmamadali akong naglakad paalis sa Interrogation Room. My men can do whatever they want with Castro. I'm busy with Santy, I promised a movie date with her tonight. So, I'll be a good husband to my sweet innocent wife.

Date it is because I'm so whipped and fucked up, by her.

Santy.
