THE MAFIA'S PRISONER Chapter 60
Bata palang ako. Hindi ko na naramdaman ang pagmamahal ng isang ama. Pero hindi kailanman nagkulang sa'kin si mama. She's the best person I ever had. She was my safe space. Noong nawala sya, parang nawala na rin ako. Hindi ko alam kung saan ako pupunta. Dahil kung uuwi ako, dalawa lang ang pupuntahan ko. Bugbog at walang makain. Kaya pumasok ako sa iba't ibang klaseng trabaho para buhayin ang sarili ko. Na hindi humihingi ng tulong sa kinilala kong ama na si Malcolm. Ilang taong nakalipas, nakilala ko si Zeus. Napakalakas nga ng timing niya kasi 18th birthday ko pa. Sinong mag aakalang magdedebut ako sa bahay ng mga magnanakaw? Ang astig lang diba. Pero hindi ko gusto ang ideyang yon sa una palang. At the same time, I have nowhere to go. Kaya kumagat ako sa offer niya at marami akong nakilalang tao. Doon nagsimulang magbago ang takbo ng buhay ko. Nandito ako ngayon sa rooftop ng ospital. It's been a day since I woke up. Hinihingal pa ang hangin, malamig, pero hindi nakakakil

The harness cut into my hips as I dangled twenty feet above the polished marble floor of the gallery. The beam of my headlamp bounced across the dimly lit room, casting eerie shadows on the walls. I took a deep breath as I scanned the whole place and finally saw the target. A priceless painting stolen from its rightful owner. Tonight, you are coming home."How are we doing, Maddy?" Miles' voice crackled in my ear, calm and confident as ever. He was my eyes and ears from the van parked two blocks away, monitoring the security feeds we had hacked into earlier."All clear so far," I whispered back, being careful not to make a sound that might echo through the hall. I adjusted my grip on the thin, reinforced cable suspending me in the air. Can't wait to go home and be in my PJ's. Slowly, I descended, inching closer to the canvas. My pulse quickened. The painting-"Cry"-hung in its glass case, untouched by time but tainted by the dirty hands that had stolen it. The case was protected by a

"So pretty as ever, Maddy. Told you, the nude shade lippy suits you," Lily said, lounging on the couch in her sleek black bodycon dress. Lilith's a gothic type of a woman. She loves everything dark and black.I smiled, glancing down at my reflection as I adjusted my white silk dress, which hugged my curves perfectly. The fabric draped elegantly over my body, exposing the patchwork of tattoos all over my arms. We were all dressed up for the occasion, heading to a party thrown by the owner of the painting we had retrieved just the night before.He wants to celebrate the succesful mission we did for his painting to come back on its right place."You look so stunning, Maddy." I heard Miles from behind. I turned around and saw him on an oversized beige button up shirt, paired with a white trousers and a black loafers.I giggled and pinched both of his cheeks. "Ang pogi pogi talaga ng Miles namin. Bagay sa'yo yan ah," this is actually the first time I saw him in casual look. He rarely goes

"Where the hell have you been?" Pag alalang tanong ni Ravika nang magkasalubong kami sa hallway. "And you look troubled, anong nangyare sa'yo?" I sighed, heavily. "May babae kasing nabastos sa loob, I had to help to her." Pero hindi naman sya mukhang nabastos, she was like about to get kidnapped. Still, it was harrasment. "Really? Should we call for help?" Napalitan ng pag alala ang ekspresyon niya.I rested my back against the wall, crossing both of my arms together. "You don't have to. She ran away when I get a hold of that guy." Napatingin lang ako sa sahig, inaalala ang mga nangyare kanina. "Parang may mga kasama yung lalaki kanina, he's japanese and it seems like may kailangan sila sa babae." Sabi ko na parang wala sa sarili."How did you know?" I looked up and met Ravika's eyes, "he's talking to someone with his earpiece on." Of course, I know that. It's our way of communicating with each other during our missions."That's indeed worrysome." She replied, "just brushed it off

I woke up to the sound of voices. My head was pounding, my hands tied behind my back, and the air was thick with the smell of damp concrete. It was dark—too dark. I had no idea where I was.Then, I heard them. At ang boses na narinig ko na noong nakaraan. "...Aitsu da. ( That's her. )" Mahina lang ang boses nila ngunit dinig na dinig ko. Hindi ko sila nakikita dahil nagising akong kaharap ang pader. I tried not to move an inch and just pretend to be unconscious. Hindi ko alam kung anong pakikinggan ko e hindi ko naman sila naiintindihan. "Kawaii na... ( She's pretty, huh? )" Says the other guy. I think I've heard that from one of Miles' favorite anime shows. Does that mean cute? They're so weird. I clenched my fists. I needed to get out of here. Fast."Oh, matte! Ugokita. ( Oh, wait! She's moving. )" Tumikhim ako. Grabe, pati pag-galaw ng kamao ko napansin nila? They're that sharp?"We're not allowed to touch her till he arrives." And someone finally spoke my language! Parang ka

"What's the word home have something to do about this?" Tetsu beside me laughed. "This is where we sleep, eat, shit and bring our women."Sya ang kasama ko pag pasok ng mansyon. Nagpaiwan si Seiji sa sinakyan naming wrangler dahil may inutos pa raw sakanya. May mga kasama pa itong sumakay nung pagkababa namin.This place is complete filth. It's a fucking huge mansion, even bigger than commander's—ang kaibahan lang dito ay amoy usok ng yosi, alak at mga babae na nagtitipid ng tela sakanila damit. "Suit yourself." Sabi naman ni Tetsu"Seryoso ka? Eh ayoko ngang huminga rito."Tetsu just laughed, shaking his head as if ako pa 'yung hindi naka-gets. Maybe I didn't. Maybe I didn't want to. Naglakad pa ako papasok, pero pakiramdam ko kailangan kong lumutang para lang 'di dumikit sa sahig. Mamahalin ang marble tiles, pero sa dami ng natuyong alak, sigarilyo, at kung ano pang kalat, parang mas bagay na itong demolition site kaysa sa bahay. The high ceilings, gold-trimmed walls, and grand

"Is Ren always that serious?" I asked, breaking the silence in this wrangler with Seiji, Tetsu and Sato. Ren's in the different car. I still don't know where we're going and what's their job for today. I'm on the passenger's seat with Tetsu. Seiji seems to avoid me and doesn't want to see my face. The same feeling I have for Sato, baka mapatay ko sya rito sa backseat kung sya ang katabi ko. "You're always asking about Ren. Interesado ka ba sakanya?" Tanong pabalik sa'kin ni Tetsu."Edi tanungin din kita tungkol sa sarili mo. Ikaw, ba't ang dami mong piercings sa mukha?" Tetsu flicked my nose. Napahawak ako sa sakit. "This is art, chick." "Don't call me chick! Mukha ba akong manok?" He just chuckled in response. “What about your tattoes? They look sick.” “Thanks, parte na ng pagkatao ko ‘to.” I casually replied. Napatingin ako kay Seiji na seryoso lang na nagmamaneho. Masama pa rin ata loob niya. Grabe, dinidibdib niya talaga yung trabaho niya no. I rested my back to the car se

"You're kidding, right?" Sabi ko habang tumatawa sa pait. They want me to cook for them, after what I just did back there? Ang swerte naman yata nila kung ganun. "Well, it's either you cook or you can't go home." Ryu said in his sly smile. "You pick." Inis ko silang tinignan lahat. Nakaupo na sila at ako nalang ang nakatayo. Huminga ako nang malalim at marahang pumikit, pilit pinapakalma ang sarili dahil baka sumabog ako sa inis. "Fine." I forced a smile. "Great. You decide what to serve us." At ako pa mag iisip?"I will lead you to the kitchen." Ren offered, about to the stood up but the motherfucker eyed on him. "What?" He asked."Let her explore the base." Tugon niya habang nakatingin lang sa'kin. I frowned. "You really love getting into my nerves." "Well, sure, I do."Napairap nalang ako. Walang hiya talaga 'tong lalaking 'to.Wala rin naman akong choice, so without another word, I turned on my feet and walked out of the room. Hindi ko man lang alam kung saan ako pupunta, b

Madelaine's point of view. Parang may pumitik sa loob ng dibdib ko. Isang banayad na pagtulak. Hindi malakas—hindi rin masakit. Parang paalala lang.And then, the weight in my chest lifted.Huminga ako.Dahan-dahan. Mabigat. Parang unang hinga ko ulit sa mundo.But before this peace—there was noise.Flashes. Chaos."Code Blue—room 509! She's crashing!"Voices shouting. Tumutulak ang mga kamay sa dibdib ko. Isa, dalawa, tatlo."Charge to 200!""Clear!"Sa panaginip, may ilaw akong tinahak. Dahan-dahan.Tahimik.Parang lumulutang lang ako sa kawalan.Walang ingay. Walang sakit. Walang galaw.Puti ang paligid—malambot sa mata, parang ulap na niyakap ako. Walang pader, walang sahig, pero hindi rin ako nahuhulog. I was just... there.Hanggang sa may narinig akong yapak. Mahinang hakbang, dahan-dahan, pamilyar.Napalunok ako kahit hindi ako sigurado kung buhay pa ba ako. "Hello?" tawag ko, pero parang walang tunog na lumabas sa bibig ko.Then I saw her.Dahan-dahang lumabas sa liwanag ang

Third person's POV. Two weeks later..."Sa tingin mo... bagay ba 'to sa kanya?" tanong ni Lilith, halos hindi marinig ang boses habang maingat na inaayos ang puting tela sa mga daliri niya.Tumango si Ravika, kahit nangingilid ang luha sa mata. "Lahat naman bagay sa kanya," bulong nito. "Mamimiss ko siya.""Mas lalo ako..." sagot ni Lilith, impit ang hikbi habang pinipilit ngumiti. Tinitigan niya ang simpleng damit na hawak, dumampi ang hinlalaki niya sa lace sa gilid nito.Tahimik ang paligid. Ang langit sa labas ay makulimlim. Walang ibang naririnig kundi ang marahang paghinga, ang tunog ng tela na hinahaplos ng kamay, at ang paminsang pagsinghot.Walang nagsalita.Sa kabila, sina Miles at Zeus ay parehong tahimik. Zeus was polishing a silver necklace—Maddy's necklace. Isang simpleng pendant na binili niya para kanyang anak. "Parang kailan lang buo pa tayo e," bulong ni Miles. "Namimiss ko na si Maddy."Yeraz didn't answer. His silence said more than words could.Ilang segundo pa
THE MAFIA'S PRISONER Chapter 57
Naglalakad kami palabas ng teritoryo ng Kimura. Mabigat ang katahimikan sa bawat hakbang, parang hangin sa gabi na ayaw umalis sa paligid namin. Wala ni isa sa amin ang nagsalita. Si Seiji, nasa likod lang, nakayuko. Si Tetsu, tahimik na nakasunod. Si Sato, tahimik din—unusual para sa kanya.Sa tabi ko, naglalakad si Ren. Pareho kaming walang masabi. Lahat kami pagod. Lahat kami ubos.Hanggang sa napahinto si Sato at napatingin sa paligid."Alam niyo..." panimula niya. "Pwede bang, just this once... inom tayo?"Nag-angat si Seiji ng kilay. "Sa gitna ng ganito?""Mas lalo nga ngayon," sabat ni Sato. "We need a break. Just for one night."Tahimik pa rin ang lahat. Pero sa loob ko, alam kong lahat kami gusto 'yon. Kailangan namin 'yon."May kilala akong lugar," ani Ren sa wakas. "Tahimik. Walang istorbo."Napatingin ako sa kanila. Isa-isa silang tumango."Sige," sabi ko. "Let's go."Tahimik ang biyahe. Walang gustong magsalita. Ang tanging naririnig lang ay ang pag-ikot ng gulong sa kals

Wala akong maramdaman. Parang nasa loob ako ng isang malalim na bangungot na ayaw akong bitawan."She's alive," ang sabi ng doctor kanina. Pero yung sumunod—"there's a chance that she might not make it"—yun ang paulit-ulit na umuugong sa tenga ko.Nakatayo lang ako sa hallway, nakatitig sa sahig na tila ba may makikita akong sagot doon. Nasa paligid ko sina Ren, Seiji, Tetsu... walang umiimik. Si Zeus, nakaupo sa gilid, nakayuko.Then biglang—Mabilis. Malakas.Napa-urong ako.Tumama ang kamao ni Yeraz sa panga ko at halos matumba ako sa lakas."Putangina mo, Yamada!” sigaw niya, galit na galit. "You promised her! You promised her no one gets hurt!""Yeraz!" awat ni Ravika habang hinawakan ang braso niya. Pero hindi siya nagpatinag."Kapag may nangyari sakanya, babalikan kita. Alam mo 'yan," banta pa niya, nanginginig sa galit at lungkot.Hindi ako sumagot. Wala akong mailabas. Wala akong masabi. Kasi alam ko—tama siya.Ako ang dahilan.Ako ang target.At si Maddy ang natamaan.Tumali

Ryu's point of view."MADDY!"Nabingi ako sa sabay-sabay nilang sigaw sa pangalan niya kasunod ng malakas na putok.Napalingon ako.At doon ko siya nakita.Si Madelaine.Nakatayo pa—pero nanginginig, hawak ang tagiliran, tinatakpan ang sugat. Nakatingin siya sa sariling kamay, basang-basa ng dugo. Para bang hindi siya makapaniwala.Then... she collapsed.Parang binura ang lahat ng kulay sa paligid ko. Parang huminto ang mundo. Tumingin lang ako sa kanya habang dahan-dahan siyang bumagsak sa malamig na sahig.Biglang nandilim ang paningin ko.No. This can't be happening.Anger crawled up my spine like poison, mabilis, matalim. It wrapped itself around my heart until there was nothing left but fury.I fucking told her I'd keep her safe.And now—No. No more.Hinugot ko ang baril ko—ang baril na lagi kong dala, ang baril na matagal ko nang hindi ginagamit para pumatay. Pero ngayon, it felt right in my hand. Too damn right.I pulled the trigger.Sunod-sunod.Lahat ng kalaban na makita ko—

Zeus' point of view. It was fourth of July when I invited the last member of my group. She was my bestfriend's—well, not anymore—daughter. At the age of 18, naging independent na ito. That's what I admire about her. I approached slowly. Nakasuot pa ako ng simpleng polo, walang badge, walang pangalan. I didn't need those. She didn't look surprised to see me—parang alam na niyang darating ako."You're Zeus," sabi niya, diretso sa punto."Madelaine," I replied.Tahimik."Why me?" tanong niya. Diretso rin. Walang drama. Walang paikut-ikot.I looked her in the eye and said, "Because the world already tried to break you... and you're still here."Nagkibit-balikat lang siya. "Maybe I'm just too stubborn.""Maybe. But I know potential when I see it."And something else I didn't say aloud:She looked like her mother.Carbon copy. Lahat. Yung tikas, yung mata, pati yung tahimik na tapang na hindi mo agad mapapansin.Amy, I I hope you know you raised a beautiful kid. Strong. Fierce. With just

Tumawa si Ally."She's not even scared," bulong ni Wallace.Sato scoffed, "told you, she's a psycho." Mas hinigpitan pa ang pagkakahawk sakanya. "Ouch, bro."Lumingon si Zeus, calm as ever, kahit may barrel sa sentido niya. "Ally," panimula niya, mababa ang tono, "this doesn't have to end this way."Ally's smile twitched. "And what would you know, old man?"Zeus didn't blink. "A lot. I've seen people like you... full of pain, trying to find power in revenge."He took a slow breath. "But you're smarter than this. So if you could just—breathe—stay calm, we'll talk."Tumahimik ang lahat. The guards tightened their grips, but they were waiting too.Ally started ranting again. "You think I want to talk?! After what he did to me? What all of you took?!"Pero wala na akong naririnig. I was staring at Zeus. And he was staring at me.That look—steady, silent, commanding.Then I saw it. His lips moved, barely."Now."And then—BOOM. Lahat gumalaw sabay sabay.Nagulat ako nang makita ang Ryukets
THE MAFIA'S PRISONER Chapter 52
Maddy's point of view."Who the fuck was that?" Inis kong tanong. "I'm not leaving him alone with her!""Maddy, I understand your—""Sino ba kasi yon? Ren," nilingon ko sya, "Sino yon?!" He sighed heavily. "She's one of our workers here in the Philippines at noong pinansin na sya ni Ryu, she became obssessed. Ryu needed a shoulder during those days... Ally was there."Hindi ako makasagot. Kung ganun, wala pala akong kalaban laban doon. Ang dami namang babaeng dumaan sakanya. Baka pati ako dadaanan niya lang din. "But Mads, walang something sakanila ni Ryu. Hindi niya type yon." Sabi naman ni Tetsu. "And she's psychologically diagnosed with OLD, may traits yon ng borderline personality disorder, takot syang mawala sa paningin niya si Ryu. She's not mentally unstable." Si Seiji. "Hindi niyo ba sya pinagamot? Therapy?" Si Lilith naman ang nagtanong. "We did kaya nagulat kaming makita sya rito." Tumigil ang ingay sa paligid ko. Ang mga sinabing iyon ni Seiji ay umalingawngaw sa teng
