Chapter 78
Amidst the dark and silent room, Louie is silently suffering from the wound she got from the shot that opened up. Napahawak siya sa tiyan niya sa banda kung saan kaunting bumuka ang tahi. The fresh blood soaked her shirt that made Shane be alarmed when she saw it.
"H-hoy, bumuka ang tahi mo, ano? Ang sabi mo hindi ka masyadong napuruhan?"
"Wala ito. Medyo nagalaw lang ang tahi," kalmadong sagot ni Louie at hindi ipinakita sa kaibigan ang hapdi na nararamdaman niya sa sugat.
"O-okay. Tatawag ba ako ng nurse para tahiin ang sugat mo?"
"Huwag na. Dalhan mo nalang ako ng kagamitan. Ako na ang gagawa."
When Shane went out, Louie can't hide the pain anymore. Napangiwi siya at impit na napadaing. Lumayo siya ng konti kay Master Club na natutulog sa kama para hindi siya marinig nito.
She didn't tell Shane that the bullet that got shot through her abdomen was poisonous neither did she tell her that it was her brother who shot her. Nang matandaan niya si Louige ay hindi niya mapigilang hindi mapaisip ng malalim.
She knew Louige as a calm and wise person kaya hindi niya lubos maisip kung bakit nagdesisyon iyon ng ganoon ka critikal na hakbang. It seems that he was holding a grudge against the McGregor family since then.
Louie's thoughts dissipated when Shane came in again. Kitang kita niya sa mukha nito ang pag-alala.
"Sure ka bang okay ka?"
"Oo nga. Para sa bala ng sniper lang. Sus."
"Kung maka 'lang' 'to."
"Nasan nga pala si Spade?" natanong ni Louie nang mapansin na kanina pa wala ang gusto niyang kausapin.
"Nandito lang 'yun kanina eh. Teka, oo nga 'no? Baka bumalik sa building natin. Bakit, Louie?"
"Wala naman. May pag-uusapan lang kami," seryoso nitong sagot. Napanguso si Shane.
"All over na ba talaga para sa LouieSon?"
"Ang lahat ng nangyari sa pagitan namin ni McGregor ay hanggang doon na lamang iyon. Ngayong tapos na ang misyon, kailangan nalang naming tapusin ang mga maliit na bagay para tuluyan nang maputol ang koneksyon natin sa kanila," malamig na sagot ni Louie. Malungkot na tinignan ng kaibigan si Louie. Nilunok nalang niya ang sana ay sasabihin niya sa kaibigan.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Iverson immediately booked a flight to Japan to find Louie. They can't risk to let Louie go back to Japan dahil hindi pa nila lubos na alam ang plano ni Samson Villaruel o ang ama nina Nyx at Hades.
Alam nila na tuso ang ama nila. The man always do unexpected things kaya natatakot sila sa maaring susunod na hakbang nito kapag napasakamay na niya si Louie.
Bago pa man makapunta ni Iverson sa airport ay nakatanggap siya ng tawag mula sa ama niya.
"Iverson, come to my office right now. I've appointed a meeting just now to all the heads of our organization. This is an urgent matter. Your grandfather has now gone to visit the other Organization for they were under now the state of defeated attack by the Montero's."
Iverson's mouth gaped open when he heard this. His line of thoughts went directly to Louie at napagtanto niya kung bakit nasa Japan na ngayon ang dalaga. Ang magkapatid na sina Hades at Nyx, pati na ang kapatid ni Louie na si Louige ay narinig ang sinabi ng ama ni Iverson at sila'y lubhang nagulat din.
They never knew that plan of attack. The three of them looked at each other and they murmured curses as what they heard sent uneasiness to their hearts.
"Ito na nga talaga ang sinasabi ko, Louige. May mga plano si papa na hindi natin alam," ani Nyx at napapalatak.
Hades remained quiet when he heard their discussions. Ngayon lang din niya nalaman ang mga plano ng mga ito. They have called him so that they would tell him their plans and they are hoping he would eventually cooperate with them.
"Naiipit ang organisasyon natin dito. We are an ally to the both sides and I don't want to be biased. Your lolo can't just sit by idly while he knew that his long time companion which is the Old Club got a blow from an attack. I don't also know how to defend my bestfriend's organization, the Kuro Shiro," narinig nilang patuloy na sabi ng ama ni Iverson.
Matapos ang tawag ay nahulog sa mainit na diskusyon ang lahat.
"Didn't you get to sneek a peak of their plan, Nyx?"
"Hindi. Wala akong nakalap ngayong linggo na ito. All I knew is that the engagement your mother forcefully launched distracted father from planning to kill Louie. The Monteros are now planning to publicize this news and trust me, this will create a fucking hype amongst all the underground organizations. You knew that our engagement is fake and my father will not hesitate to fridging kill me if his reputation will be tainted. Idagdag mo pa na siguradong papalayasin ako ng mga matatanda," wika ni Nyx kay Iverson na sobrang nahihirapan na din sa sitwasyon.
"Alam na ito ng iba pa nating pinsan, Nyx?" tanong ni Louige.
"No. Only the two of us father trusted the most. Ni hindi nga niya ito sinabi ni Hades. Besides us, father and his men, nobody knew about the plan. All of the heads of the Kuro Shiro Organization are oblivious of what they are planning all this time."
"May malaking pagkakataon din ngayon si Papa dahil abala ang lahat sa organisasyon namin sa pagprepara sa nalalapit na ika-60 na kaarawan ni lolo. Oh, and they are planning to tell the whole underworld people about our engagement. Trust me, we will be in doom if anybody will find out about this lalo na at hindi naman ito totoo. This engagement will cause a sensation throughout the underworld for this will be considered a merging of two of the most powerful organizations.
Many of them will be provoked and will hunt our organization. Most dangerously, if this news will reach the ears of those unknown, powerful and hidden forces in the depths of the underworld."
After Nyx' explanation, they fell into silence. Sa lahat na magpipinsan ay itong si Nyx ang may maraming alam dahil siya ang kanang kamay ng ama niya mula pa pagkabata. Louige's knowledge also leveled hers dahil pareho silang mga pinagkakatiwalaan ng mga ama nila pagdating sa usaping ito. Only that Louige's father was early gone and he was discovering new things by himself so Nyx was one step ahead of his.
"To top this all, I know something big is coming. I knew my father too well due to staying at his side since I was a child. He is planning something he isn't telling me. I'm afraid he is suspecting me now but I'll try my best not to be caught."

A/N: Sorry sa mabagal na update. Maraming sorry talaga. Bukas ko na iuupdate ang iba pa. By the way, do already have a guess on who killed Louie's father? And also, malapit na pala itong matapos.
