"Can anybody just shoot her in the face? What a useless skank! Anong gagawin natin ngayon?"

Umalingawngaw ang boses ko sa loob ng yate at nakaupo sa harap ko ang babaeng may sugat sa tagiliran.

"Wait, no one freaking answer me because your stupid breath will spread the moment you open your mouths for some useless suggestions. Hand me a gun!"

The useless humans around me moved at the same time at apat na baril ang nasa harap ko ngayon.

"Idiots, did I say gunS?! I said gun!"

The idiots withdrew their gun offers at mas lalo lamang akong nainis. Why do the goons with me tonight are so stupid?

I kicked one on the knee and grabbed his gun, pulling the safety latch and shoot his foot. He fell on the floor, uttering something.

"Bastard, sige murahin mo ako at sa bibig kita sunod na babarilin," I said with no hint of bluff.

Huh I am not all words, they knew that pretty well. He was obedient enough to shut his stupid ugly mouth.

"Ikaw..." Itinapat ko ang baril sa babaeng may sugat sa tagiliran--- tama ng bala particularly. "Bakit may tama ka?"

"Ma'am---"

"Fuck you don't call me Ma'am I am not a teacher." If she piss me more I swear I will shoot her in the face.

"May transaksyon po kasing magaganap."

Huh ang sarap niyang hampasin ng baril. "Of course the other party is us. The drugs are ready and if it wasn't of idiots like you..." Tumingin ako sa mga nasa gilid ko. "And you.. and you, you and also you edi sana tapos na 'to!"

"Hindi po, may ibang transaksyon. May nakita akong mga lalaking nakasuot ng maskara---"

"Don't tell me they are spiderman," I said rolling my eyes. Why am I wasting my time here?

"Shipment ng mga illegal na armas."

"You sure they're not cops in disguise?"

The woman shook her head, grunting a bit because of her wound. "Hindi, sa tingin ko ay mga delikadong tao sila. Binaril ako ng isang magandang babae."

I raised a brow. "Idiot, I didn't shoot you yet."

"Tinawag siyang Mnemosyne ng kasama niya."

Napaisip ako. "Go on."

"Hindi ko na alam dahil tumalon na ako sa deck at nagpahulog sa tubig," sagot niya.

Useless!

Very useless.

"Anyone get a freaking doctor to heal that idiot woman now and oh, don't give this guy," I pointed the one I shoot in his foot. "...any medical treatment for 30 minutes. Let him suffer first dahil naiirita ako sa mukha niya. You got it?"

The other idiots nodded before one called the doctor on board at lumayo ako sa kanila. I guess breathing in the same room with them makes me an idiot too.

I walked towards my cabin and dialed a number on my phone. Someone answered it on the second ring.

"You bastard took too long to answer my call," wika ko nang sinagot nito ang tawag.

"Well hello sis."

"Search wherever if what crime family is dealing with illegal firearms wears stupid masks and one members' name is Mnemosyne."

My brother John didn't need to move his fingers and surf deep on his smart box called laptop.

"Whoah whoah whoah, you didn't know?!"

I made a face. "Why are you even part of Bellomo family if you are that stupid?" Itatanong ko ba kung alam ko?!

My brother laughed. "Okay sis, chill. I got it, you didn't know but you actually know."

"Ang labo mo Juan."

He laughed again. "Remember the guy you had a crush with?"

"Harry fucking Styles?"

"Not him sis and yeah, keep dreaming. I mean you met him in one party and you bugged me all night saying John, oh shit why is he so cool? So handsome! So blah blah blah." He used an accent that I usually used when I'm riled up.

"Cooler fucking Vander?" I asked.

"Bingo."

"Vander mafia?!"

"Yes sis, finally it sinked in!  Congratulations. Yes, Vander mafia used masks like jabbawockeez and greek myth names as codenames."

"Okay bye." Gaya ng madalas kong ginagawa ay pinatay ko ang tawag at ibinalik sa bulsa ang cellphone.

Vander mafia.

Sometimes crime families don't get along well.

...like Bellomo and Vander.

Although at the same boat of doing illegal stuff, Bellomo and Vander are more enemies than allies.

I remember one time, our shipment of meths failed, thanks them. And no fucking way that will happen again. And my dad said the boss of Vander mafia is crazy as fuck.

I didn't waste time, I slipped into my black tights and keep my gun and knife in their right places.

Nang lumabas ako ng cabin ay sinalubong ako ng tingin ng mga idiot na nasa yate.

"Stop looking at me or else pagbabarilin ko ang mga mata ninyo." I tied my hair in a bun and wore flippers.

Agad silang nag-iwas ng tingin at saktong dumating si Flavio— my uncle who's incharged of this transaction.

"Pi? Saan ka pupunta?"

"Mamamasyal," I replied, rolling my eyes.

"Respect me Pi or else---"

"Or else isusolsol mo na naman kay Daddy na itapon ako kung saan-saan para mag-aral. Uncle ilang degree, diploma at medalya ba ang gusto ninyo?" I asked annoyed.

Not bragging but I am a holder of 3-degrees and I had 2 titles connected to my name. I'm Lennon Pi Bellomo, CPA, MBM-- and yeah, soon to be a lawyer.

The name doesn't matter. It's ugly and that's what you get if you have a mother who's a die-hard fan of John Lennon and a mathematician father.

Oh, my brother is John Archimedes Bellomo. Cringey.

"Pi---"

"Bye uncle! I'll be back by dawn," wika ko at tumalon sa speedboat at agad iyong inilayo roon.

When I saw my target place, I turned off the speedboat and jumped on the water.

I swam towards the coast, I silently thanked my years being thrown in the part of the world where the beaches are. I learn to swim and relax in deep waters and in the presence of sharks. Yup, don't show them fears and you're pretty safe but make sure you're not bleeding.

The idiot woman was right. May mga nakabantay sa paligid na nakasuot ng mga maskara.

Maliit na bagay. I can move without making a sound.

I quietly move towards a high place kung saan nakikita ko ang lugar at inilabas ang binoculars mula sa waterproof na bag na dala. I spotted a woman in flowing white dress at napansin ko ang baril na nasa holster sa binti niya sa tuwing nililipad ng hangin ang kanyang palda.

Oh she must be Mnemosyne. Whoever.

Beside him is a guy...

who was smirking and he looked so bored. Pretty boy must be bored.

I dropped my binoculars at napadapa nang makitang diretso ang tingin ng lalaki sa akin!

His smirk growing more irritable!

Shit!

Did he just make eye contact with me from that distance?! May samaligno ba siya para mapansin na may nakatingin sa kanya?!

When I gather my courage to peek again, he wasn't there anymore. Well, naroon pa rin ang babae but pretty boy?!

Poof, gone!

I scanned the place dahil baka sakaling bahagya lamang siyang lumayo, I sank my body on the ground even more but no sign of pretty boy!

Shit!

Don't tell me... Imposible. I chose not to panic because it's impossible to see me from this distance kaya malamang namamalikmata lamang ako.

I rolled on the side, watched the masked guys looked around the place, forgetting about the smirking pretty face.

"Well you have a nice ass there."

Shit.

I lay on my back and faced where the voice came from.

Shit again!

It's pretty boy! I know that curved on his lips... that smirk...

Oh well, pretty boy is prettier upclose.

Bumangon ako mula sa pagkakadapa at mabilis na hinablot ang baril na nasa tagiliran ko ngunit mas mabilis niyang tinanggal iyon. He played it on his fingers and with a click, the gun is pointed between my eyes.

He looked at my face....

....then to my chest where his smirk was replaced with a frown.

Huh bastard!

"Spy?"

I made no reply.

"I'm not very patient titless so answer."

What the hell did he call me? Titless?

"Ano?!" I gritted through my teeth, as my hand slowly crept towards my ankle where I placed a knife.

Fucking shit.

My knife is gone.

"Here titless," he said, raising his other hand with my knife. Shit, he got it without me knowing.

"Stop calling me titless!"

He smirked. "You mad? Well truth hurts."

"Fuck you."

He shooked his head. "Sorry, I can't. Got enough bitches for now."

"You are a whore," I hissed at him, mentally thinking of a way to outsmart him and grab either the gun or the knife.

Or both.

"Are you a spy?"

"Hell no."

"Who are you?"

"Doesn't matter."

He shook his head leaned towards me. I felt cold something on my wrists.

freaking handcuffs!

He pulled me up at halos kaladkarin ako palayo. "I am not a spy!"

"Yeah sure sa presinto ka na magpaliwanag," he said with a smirk.

"Pulis ka?!"

"No! Don't you get humor?" he hissed at me, looking annoyed.

"You are obstructing our shipment," sabi ko sa kanya.

He stared at me for a while before smirking. "Bellomo rat then."

He's irritating!

His smirk even more irritating.

"I am not a rat!"

"Yeah sure titless," sagot niya at binuksan ang sasakyan kung saan kami huminto.

I frowned when he opened the shotgun ride instead of the backseat. Naglabas siya ng isa pang posas at ikinabit iyon sa kamay ko at sa kotse.

No fucking way I can escape like this! Kung sa backseat pa sana, may chance pa na masakal ko siya gamit ang posas.

Pretty boy is smart enough to preempt that.

Nang sumakay siya sa driver seat ay binuhay niya ang makina at may tinawagan.

"Mnemosyne I'm leaving first, update us as soon as you get anything. Nasa pwesto na rin nila sina Ares at Poseidon."

I keep cringing at the names he kept saying. Corny.

When he turned off the phone, he held his phone up facing me.

"Hey titless."

Nang lumingon ako sa kanya ay biglang umilaw ang kanyang cellphone.

The bastard took a picture of me!

"Asshole!"

Tiningnan niya iyon saglit at unti-unting napapalitan ng ngiwi ang nakakalokong ngisi sa kanyang labi.

"You are not photogenic titless."

"What are you doing?!" I kept pulling my hands kahit alam kong masasaktan at mapapagod lamang ako sa ginagawa ko. He ignored my question and dialed another number.

"Hey, you at home? Remember the basics I taught you about identification? Kung naaalala mo pa iyon, I sent you a picture and tell me who it is. I'll wait for your call lil bro. You have an hour."

Ibinaba niya ang cellphone at inihagis iyon sa dashboard.

"Who was that?" tanong ko sa kanya at panay pa rin ang hila sa kamay ko.

"Titless if I were you I will stop that I bet your wrist must be in pain right now."

Pretty boy's right. It fucking hurts so I stopped.

"Who the hell was that?"

He shrugged as he started driving the car. "None of your business."

"Bastard you sent my picture! It's my fucking business!"

"Alright, that's my brother who I am training to be a hacker. He's a prodigy by the way--" His phone rang. "Excuse me for a bit."

Kinuha niya ang tumutunog na cellphone at sinagot ang tawag. "You called faster than expected, doesn't mean you're that good already." Saglit siyang tumahimik. "What a name..." He looked at me with a weird expression. "Okay, thanks."

He faced me with a grin, looking proud. "I gave my bro an hour, he did it in a minute."

I rolled my eyes. "Hindi ako interesado sa nangyayari sa buhay mo o ng kapatid mo."

"So you're not just a Bellomo rat... but actually a daughter. And why is your name so ugly?"

I sneered. "Said someone who named themselves in greek shits and stuff."

He smirked again. "Why are you spying us?"

"Asshole you are ruining our transaction!"

He glared at me. "Actually you're ruining ours."

I know bad guys are good in mind games at kapag may sinabi pa ako, I might end up ruining everything.

I'd be happy first hand to see Flavio fails but ruined business is still a loss. My father isn't fond of so.

He also remained silent, smirking as he drives. Anong problema niya? Ang sarap niyang barilin sa mukha at nang matanggal ang nakakainis na ngisi niya.

It was silent for a while until his phone rang again.

"Ares." He listened and his face turned angry. "Bastards! Retreat!" Before he can tossed his phone, may balang tumama sa kanyang side mirror. "Shit!"

Kung hindi lamang ako nakaposas ay malamang nahampas na ako sa dashboard dahil sa marahas na paggalaw ng sasakyan. Sunod-sunod ang naging putukan at hindi lamang ang side mirror ang natamaan kundi pati ang likod.

Pretty boy kept cussing and I gathered that he has this scary mood when he's angry. It's like being in the same car with the devil himself.

"It's a trap!" sabi niya at ilang beses na napamura. "Titless get my gun on the glove compartment!"

I laughed sarcastically. "Yes Master." Paano? Gamit paa?

"Damn it!"

"You have my gun Master."

Sunod-sunod na ang putukan sa labas at napatingin siya sa side mirror. A car was following us but it made pretty boy somewhat calm kaya marahil ay kasamahan niya iyon.

Nagpatuloy siya sa pagmamaneho palayo at lumayo sa nangyaring putukan.

He stopped the car later at ilang beses na nagmura. He leaned to get his gun... oh no.

GunS. He leaned to get his guns and gathered other things important at lumabas ng kotse.

Shit no way.

"Hoy pakawalan mo ako!" I can smell leaking gasoline kaya malamang hindi magtatagal ay sasabog na ang sasakyan.

He cussed again before getting things on his pocket. A thing fell on the dim ground.

Huwag lang niyang sabihin na susi iyon ng posas!

"Sorry not sorry titless but I think I lost the other key."

I want to shoot him 24 times in the face. "Motherfucker!"

Tinanggal niya ang pangalawang posas, the one connected to the car and dragged me out of the car. Mabuhangin sa bahaging iyon at naririnig ko ang hampas ng alon so I guess we're at the seashore.

A not so tall cliff actually.

Sabay kaming tumalon sa pangpang kasabay ng pagsabog ng kotse.

✒️✒️✒️

I woke up with a spanking sound and a sting on my hip.

"Wake up titless masyado mong ini-enjoy ang CPR."

The devil's voice was enough for me to open my eyes and spit out water. Agad akong bumangon at luminga-linga sa paligid. All I see is sand and water.

"Finally!" he exclaimed.

"Nasaan tayo?" tanong ko.

"Amnesia titless?"

"Shut up."

He smirked. "I'll take that as no. At wala akong ideya after all we both jumped without knowing where are we heading."

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko, checking if I have wounds but thankfully none.

Oh, gone were the handcuffs. He lied!

My hip sting a bit kaya napatingin ako roon pero wala akong sugat.

The sting was after the spanking sound....

"Did you spank my hip?!" sigaw ko sa kanya.

"Should have been your ass if you're lying on your flat chest. Nice ass by the way. You're titless but your ass--"

"Shut up pervy bastard!" He already complimented my ass, twice!

"Told yah truth hurts," he smirked. "By the way you owe me big."

"Anong pinagsasabi mo?"

He raised a finger. "One, I saved you from an explosion."

"Ikaw ang nagposas sa akin sa sasakyan!"

"Two, I saved you from drowning."

I closed my mouth. I have no comeback for that.

And I don't like having debts to anyone. "Alright pretty face, how much?"

He smirked again. "Pretty face? Your name sucks so I'll call you pretty ass."

"Fuck you."

"Again, I have so much in my plate and I don't want to fuck a titless."

I growled preventing myself from throwing him a punch. "I am not titless! Stop calling me that!"

He grinned even more. "I performed CPR pretty ass and I checked." His grin turned into a disappointed frown. "You're flat as board."

Shit I want to shoot him fifty times on his dick.

I raised my chin. "Big tits will be a disadvantage at crucial times."

He laughed. "Rason ng mga flat."

"So how much do I owe you?" I asked, going straight to the point instead of talking about my chest.

My disappointing chest. Damn him.

"Not in monetary aspect pretty ass."

I made a face. "I am NOT sleeping with you!"

"Not interested in fucking you titless, do not SUGGEST." There goes that annoying smirk again!

"Then what?!"

He thought for a while. "Haven't decided yet. What, when and where I'll be collecting your debt is up to me. My terms titless."

"That is not reasonable!"

He shrugged. "So you want to owe me for life?"

He's really good in mind games.

And I am not.

Damn it.

I don't like owing anyone!

"Fine! You're a devil aren't you?!" I hissed at him.

Pinagpag niya ang buhangin sa pantalon nang makarinig siya ng tunog ng chopper. "Yeah, you're dealing with one."

Tumingala ako at tiningnan ang chopper. A rescue chopper na tiyak kong hindi sa coast guard or ano.

"Take me out of this island!"

"That's another debt on your part."

Shit. Didn't think about that. But I already owe him and this will be the last.

"Fine. What's your name?" tanong ko sa kanya.

"Why titless?"

I made a face. "Just so I know who I am in debt with."

"Ryu."

Napataas ang kilay ko. "Ryu? What greek god is that?"

"That is my real name titless."

He gave his real name? "Ryu Vander?"

Hindi siya sumagot at tiningala lamang ang chopper na papalapit na.

Ryu Vander.

Hmm, Ryu Vander.

Itinaas ko ang isang kamay. "Hey question."

Napatingin siya sa akin na may pagtataka sa mukha. "What?"

"Do you know Cooler Vander?"

His jaw tightened. "What do you want from my cousin?"

I bit my lower lip preventing my smile. If I'll make him owe me too I'll ask him to set me up on a date with Cooler.

"You look like you're freaking harassing him in your mind. Anong kailangan mo?"

I pouted. "Nothing."

Oh-oh. Dealing with the devil isn't really that bad.
