"We're back na po!" Masayang sabi ni Vince na may dala dalang cotton candy.
"Shh. He's sleeping." I hushed Vince.
He tilted his head, curious. "Kuya's asleep po?"
Tumango ako at sumulyap sa kama. He collapsed. I just finished cleaning our mess earlier and put him in bed.
"Let him sleep okay?" I told him.
Ngumiti sya at maingat na sumampa sa kama at humiga rin sa tabi ng Kuya nya. Malawak ang ngiti nya tapos humarap sa Kuya nya at niyakap ito. Mukang hindi nya mapigilan ang sarili na maging clingy sa Kuya nya.
"Good night po." Nakangiti nyang sabi at kiniss pa ito sa ilong.
I chuckled, so cute.
"Boss." Tawag ni Kenn at tumabi sakin.
"Yes?" I gave him a sideway glance.
"Code Red." Seryoso nyang sabi.
Naalerto ako at marahas na humarap sa kanya. I'm frowning badly.
"What?!" I whispered at him so Vince won't hear us.
"Scorpions." Maikli nyang sagot pero sapat na para maintindihan ko.
My blood boiled on instant. I snatched my phone in the table and dialed Clara's number.
"Boss, Doc said she'll handle it. Nagpadala na po sya ng reaper kanina, pinabalik nya po kami dito para sa kaligtasan ni Vince." Singit nya.
I tsked and put my phone down. Damn. This is what I'm afraid about. They're moving again after seeing new prey to use against me. Those dickheads.
"Did they saw him?" I glanced at Vince.
He looked away. Sapat na yun para masagot ang tanong ko. Napapikit ako ng mariin sa galit. Bumuga ako ng hangin at kinontrol ang sarili. I should have expected this to happen early. They're after all so eager to defeat us, but they never succeeded.
"Hindi na natin sila pwedeng pabayaan. Starting today, we need to protect them. Take care of Vince, ako na ang bahala kay Shin." Seryoso kong sabi.
"Roger, Boss." He replied.
I gasped in frustration and looked at the peacefully sleeping brothers. Kahit si Vince ay nakatulog rin sa tabi ng Kuya nya. I can't help but to feel guilty. Simula ngayon ay nasa risk na ang kaligtasan nila and it's my fault. Not gonna deny that.
Hindi ako mapanatag kaya tinawagan ko si Lucas.
[Who's this?] Sagot ng di pamilyar na boses.
I frowned and checked my phone if I call the right number. And it is the right number.
"Who are you?" I emotionlessly asked.
[I asked you first.] Pinantayan nya ang tono ko.
"Shut up. Where's Lucas and why the fuck are you holding his phone?" Inis kong tanong.
[Go to hell bastard.] He said instead.
I scoffed. This son of a bitch.
"I'm already in hell, dumbass." I fired back.
[Who are you talking with? Is that my brother?] Sa wakas, it's Lucas.
[Brother?] The asshole sounded confused.
I smirked. I think I already knew where my brother is and who's this fucking asshole. My brother's flirting again, I see.
[Why'd you call?] He asked.
