"RAIN" [1]

Nawala ang ngiti sa mga labi ni Sophia ng makita sina Mike at iba pa na nakahilira sa labas.

"Lo' I'm going to serve a community service not a war!" 

Anyang hindi alam kung matatawa oh maiinis sa abuelo when she saw ten of their men waiting for her outside.

"Just let them go with you, don't underestimate them, they can roll a boulder, for you" 

pagbibiro nitong sabi. 

"In that suit?" 

She asked rolling her eyes. They were all wearing black formal suit na parang dadalo sa isang council meeting.

"Mike is enough—"

"No bring Mike's team!" 

anito na ayaw patinag, Sophia knows that her grandfather was just teasing her.

"Oh! nevermind just let them stay here with you Lo'!"

"Fine Mike is enough!" 

"Then. . lets go Mike, before he changed his mind" 

natatawa niyang sabi, She kissed Mr. Ybañez goodbye.

"Where is that boy?" 

Tanong ni Mike ng makalabas na sila ng mansion.

"Careful!"

ani Sophia.

"He will be a young master of this house, soon!" 

"Yes Princess!" 

anito ng makuha ang punto ng dalagita.

"What's new?" 

"Section 8 is now targeting section 7, we already lost one men!"

"Guess we had some rats in section 7, tell them to laylow for now until the council meeting is over!" 

"That council meeting is giving us a headache. Some birds are saying that Mr. Mondejar is planing a big bomb!" 

Sophia smiled. 

"Don't underestimate the singing birds especially the mokingbirds. .their songs are always one hell of a deal" 

Aniya.

"But don't worry if Mr. Mondejar is preferring a bomb, we are going to launch a nuclear tingnan ko lang kung hanggang saan aabot ang pagiging ambisyoso nya!"

Sophia grit her teeth, Kung hindi dahil sa opposition hindi sya magiging desperada ng ganito. If Mr. Ybañez lost his position it means "War!" 

They had too many men to protect not to mention their families! Maybe they were bad guys, a known "MAFIA's"  but actually they were just bad guys- bad guy! meaning they chase those who were threatening the safety of people.

They were the chaser and debt collectors in a different ways! 

"Kaylangan nating e push ang training ni Seb—!" 

Sophia suddenly paused.

She always had a weird feeling everytime she mention that brats name. Binuksan nya ang bintana, dahil bigla syang nagkaroon ng guilty feelings, mentioning his name is like remembering her grandfather.

"Andami ko ng kasalanan sa kanya!"

She whispered saka inilabas nya ang kamay sa bintana ng bigla nalang pumatak ang botil ng ulan sa kanyang palad.

"Rain!" aniya 

"Princess?"

"We have to push Rain's training as soon as possible, Sya ang magiging trump card natin!" 

"Kaylangan ko muna e test ang reflex nya, bago natin sya isalang sa actual training!"

ani Mike sa kanya.

"All sorts of training, kaylangan din natin e test ang alcohol tolerance nito, and woman!" 

"He's still young!" 

"He's not getting any younger, he'll become Mr. Ybañez successor soon. By that time You and your team is already retired. Bukod kay Claire ikaw lang ang aking maasahan, You've been a big brother to me Mike!" 

"I think you're putting too much weight into that poor boy's shoulder!"

"What do you think are we going to do? Mr. Ybañez is no longer young as he is before, nag aalala ako sa inyong lahat, if not why should I bother you for this?"

"I'm sorry!" 

hingi nito ng tawad, di mapigilan ni Mike na sulyapan ang dalagita sa side mirror. This is the first time na nakiusap ito sa kanya, which touched his heart.

She maybe a brat but she will always remind them that family always comes first.

"No! I am the one who should say sorry to all of you!"

Sophia said in an apologetic tone.

"But this is our last chance Mike—my last chance, just do me a favor. Just this time!"

"You don't have to do such thing,Princess!" 

anito na may pag aalala.

"It's my job!"

"One more thing, I don't want Claire to leave us!" 

aniya tinitigan ng makahulugan si Mike.

"Anong  pinag gagawa mo all this time? Wala kabang plano mag asawa?"

Naubo at bigla nalang naapakan ni Mike ang brake dahil sa pagkabigla sa kanyang tanong. 

"Geez. . this people!" 

bulong ni Sophia ng makita ang pamumula ng mukha nito.

"Whatever! galaw galaw din minsan maunahan ka ng iba dyan!"

Aniya bago iniwan ito sa sasakyan.

"Where is Rain?" 

Sophia asked Claire ng makita nya ito.

"Who?" 

"Rain, my brother!" 

aniya na idiniin ang salitang "Brother" 

"Ah! he's there talking to your friend!" 

Napatango nalang sya.

"Claire wait!"

tawag niya rito. 

"Spread humors to section 7 that Mr. Ybañez is quite ill, saka tell Mike to give us the record of "LAF" item ASAP."

"Got it!" anito.

Hinanap nya si Rain, she saw him talking with Glaiza. dahan-dahan syang lumapit sa mga ito pero nakita syang bigla ni Glaiza.

"Oh Sophie andito kana pala?" 

"I'm looking for him!" 

aniya na kay Sebastian nakatingin.

"Ah! hindi mo man lang nabanggit na may kapatid ka pala!" 

Glaiza asked as if she was prying something pero di nalang pinansin ni Sophia.

"She's probably curious, that's all!"

 anya sa sarili.
