CHAPTER 51

“WHAT is this?” tanong ni Cassiuz sa ama ni Wynter nang may ibigay ito sa kaniyang black book. “Is this…”

Tumango si Ramon.

Bahagyang nanlaki ang mata ni Cassiuz. “How did you manage to take away this black book from them?” he asked. “Scorpion is not easy to fool.”

Ngumisi si Ramon. “I’ve been working in the underground for almost twenty years, Cassiuz. Of course, alam ko na kung ano ang mga dapat kong gawin.”

Kinuha ni Cassiuz ang black book saka ito binuklat. He saw everyone in the black book including his name under the pseudonym of ‘Darkness’. Nakita niya rin ang mga pangalan ng mga kaibigan niya na nasa black book.

Ramon sighed and took the black book from Cassiuz.

Nagulat naman si Cassiuz sa ginawa ng ama ni Wynter.

Ramon burned the book. Bigla na lang nitong sinindihan ang libro at binitawan. Bumagsak ang nasusunog na libro sa sahig.

Cassiuz looked at his father-in-law.

Nagkibit lang naman ng balikat si Ramon. “It’s better in this way to keep you safe.”

“How about the others?”
