The Mafia's Slave Part 1 & 2

-9-

I am Maxene McNeils, apo ng founder ng McNeil organization, ang pinakamakapangyarihang Undergound Organization sa buong mundo. 

I was born and raised as a part of Venom, I didn't know where I came from o kung sino ba talaga ako. Venom is an organization that kidnapped kids and uses them for illegal transactions. Alam ko yun, alam namin yung tatlo nina Marshan at Paeng. 

But Venom has a facade, they were known by the outsiders as one of the biggest dealer of drugs. In terms of illegal transactions, they are flawless, specially sa pagpupuslit ng mga imports na hindi na kailangang dumaan sa Customs. 

The kidnapping of kids were not known and it remained as the biggest secret of the organization. 

There was once an alliance between the McNeils and Venoms. Pero nabuwag yun dahil sa pagtratraydor ng founder ng Venoms, they have leaked a very confidential file na ikinasira ng pangalan ng McNeils, kaya dumami ang kaaway nito. 

At sa pagkabuwag ng alyansa, naging unstable ang Venom at McNeils, maraming tumiwalag na mga kasapi at isa na ko dun. Tumiwalag ako sa Venom and that almost killed me and I am just thankful enough prinotektahan ako ng mga McNeil. I brought Marshan and Paeng with me, inampon kami ni Don McNeil. Itinuring bilang mga sarili niyang apo. 

But still, I was born to kill. I was once Venom's Killing Machine. At the age of 9, hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang libo na ang napatay ko. Venom made me into a monster at hindi ko sila mapapatawad dahil dun. 

I was a witness of their cruelty to children, ilang musmos na ba ang nasaksihan kong ginahasa at pinatay? Pero sino ba ko para umangal? They've raised me, fed me, dressed me, pinag-aral nila ko. 

But when Marshan and Paeng came, dun na nabago ang pananaw ko. I found the reason of my existence and that's to eradicate Venom. 

 I was once the Venom's Queen. 

But now, I am Maxene McNeil, The Queen of Mafia.

"This is so gross." Frianne commented pagkapasok nila sa Apartment namin. She was pertaining to our Apartment. I rolled my eyes at her. 

"So where are the gangstas?" Xander asked me prente itong umupo sa couch. Umupo din duon si Blake pero si Frianne nagspray pa ng alcohol sa couch bago ito lagyan ng panyo. 

"Dinala ko sila sa hospital and left them there." I said. "Have you ratted me out?" I asked them. Umiling naman sila sakin.

"Takot lang namin sayo." Blake chuckled. Bumuntong hininga na lang ako. Naririnig ko ang panlalait ni Frianne sa mga nakikita niyang gamit namin and I'm just stopping myself from strangling her. 

"So why are you here in Pinas?" Xander asked. 

"We had a misunderstanding ni Lolo." I said. Gaya nga ng sabi ko noon, he found out na galing si Paeng sa pinakamumuhian niyang pamilya and I don't care who they are. Paeng is my brother, we are his family and that's enough. 

"Kayo? Why are you here?" Tanong ko sa kanila. 

"We have a mission here ofcourse, bakit naman kami pupunta dito voluntarily?" Irap sakin ni Frianne. Inirapan ko rin siya. 

"So are you friends with them? They are the Venom's next generation." Blake asked me. 

"Only McNeils knows the secret of Venom. Even Venom's underlings doesn't know anything about it. Hindi nila alam kung ano ang kinampihan nila." I said. 

"You're going to pull them out, too? Mukha silang hindi marunong makinig." Xander commented. 

Since I vowed to eradicate Venom, naging gawain ko na rin ang pagsalba sa mga kinikidnap nilang bata. Naging gawain ko ng ibalik sila sa mga pamilya nila, I became anonymous. Walang pamilya ang nakakaalam na Venom ang kumidnap sa anak nila at McNeil ang nagbabalik sa mga ito. 

It's my own silent mission. Pero hinding-hindi ko ibabalik si Rafael at Marshan, they are mine. 

"I don't know." I sighed. 

"And what are you doing here? I believed tapos na ang misyon niyo? Why don't you just go back?" Iritang tanong ko sa kanila. 

"Namiss ka namin eh." Bigla akong niyakap ni Xander kaya sinapak ko na. 

"We'll go back later." Frianne said. "Pero infairness pangpoor talaga dito." She chuckled.

"Sige na umalis na kayo. Pupunta pa ko ng hospital. Paeng tara na." Tawag ko sa kapatid ko. Hindi niya kinakausap sina Blake dahil ayaw niya sa kanila. Pinipili niya lang talaga ang kinakausap niya minsan. 

"Uwi na daw! Uwi!" Paeng yelled kina Xander. 

"Aba! Aba't! Nahahawa ka na sa ugali ng ate mo!" Frianne said to Paeng. Rafael just glared at her. 

"Anong gagawin mo kapag nalaman nina Marshan kung asan ka? You know your sister, hindi ka nun tatantanan." Blake asked me. Napabuntong hininga na lang. Knowing my sister I know by now, may lead na sila kung asan ako. 

"Bahala na. Ang mas kinakabahala ko eh yung matatanggap kong sermon kay Kuya Spencer." Napatawa sila sa sinabi ko. Kuya Spencer is very protective of us, may isa lang samin ang malate ng uwi noon ay magpapasearch and rescue operation na siya sa mga tauhan namin. 

"Dahil sayo kaya hindi yun nagkakalovelife." Frianne chuckled. Napangisi na lang ako at napatingin kay Raphael na nakabusangot at mukhang naiinip na. 

"Sige mauna na kami, may flight pa kaming kailangang habulin." Blake tapped my shoulder. Mabilis naman akong niyakap ni Xander na hindi ko na sinaway dahil sanay na ko sa kanya. Frianne kissed my cheeks bago sila umalis. 

"Haaayyyy! Buti naman nakaalis na sila." Paeng mumbled. 

"Magbihis ka na, pupunta pa tayo ng hospital." I said.
