"𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆! This is a misunderstanding! Call Zeus! Tumupad ako sa usapan! Dapat tumupad rin siya!" sigaw ng isang lalaki nasa mid-fifties ang edad.

Nakaluhod ito, nakagapos ang mga kamay. Kitang kita ang takot sa mga mata nito na nakatutok sa taong kaharap na hindi naman makilala dahil sa nakatakip sa mukha nito na maskara na kulay itim. Napapalibutan rin ng balahibong itim ang maskarang iyon. May tatlo pa itong kasamahan, may takip rin ang mga mukha.

"It's not the only reason why the Chief wants you dead," ani ng taong iyon. "And you know that too."

Waring mas lalong natakot ang lalaki. "H-hindi... Napag usapan na namin ang mga bagay na iyon! Pinatawad na niya ako! Nagawa ko rin ng maayos ang huli naming usapan!"

"How naïve..." The person said in amusement. Lumapit itobsa lalaking nakaluhod at bahagyang naupo para pantayan ang lalaki. Inalis nito ang suot na maskara. "Hello."

"R-Raven...?" gulat na sambit nito. Mas lalo ring namutla pagkakita sa taong kaharap. Itʼs her codename-Raven.

"Yes, you guess correctly. You don't need to be surprised. Base sa reaksyon mo, alam mo na siguro kung bakit tayo nandito. Forgiveness doen't exists in Chief's vocabulary. Mukhang hindi mo yata lubos na kilala ang pagkatao ng tatay ko, Ginoo."

"P-pag usapan natin ng maayos ito, Raven! Kahit magkano ibibigay ko sa'yo! Kahit anong gusto mo! Palayain mo lang ako! M-maawa ka sa akin! May pamilya ako!" pagmamakaawa ng lalaki.

"Sana naisip mo iyan before you had a deal with the devil. Besides, do you think Chief also doesn't know the fact that you are selling our informations to his enemies?" Raven smiled. "Hinukay mo lang ang sarili mong libingan."

"T-that- I, I have no choice! I need money!"

"That is not our problem anymore. You broke his rules," Raven stood up, hinarap nito ang tatlong kasamahan. "Leave no trace." she said and walks away.

Tumango ang tatlo at naglakad na papunta sa lalaki. The man started screaming her name.

"Raven! P-please don't do this! Rave-ahhh!"

His screams echoed in the empty, abandoned building. It was't the first time a person calls for her-begging for mercy like as if they did nothing wrong.

Sumakay na si Raven sa sarili nitong sasakyan. She drove away from the place as far as possible. Even though she grew up in this kind of life, some parts of her didn't want to get involved in this business too much. It's exhausting, every mission felt like draining her energy.

Her phone rings. She looks at the caller before answering it.

"Is it done?" It was her older brother.

"Yes, I let the guys clean up the mess. Where's Chief?"

"Kaaalis lang niya kasama si Lincoln. May pulong yata silang pupuntahan. I can't contact Genevieve. Call that girl, nag iinit ang ulo ko sa katigasan ng ulo ng isang iyon."

"She's out again? Looks like I know where to find her." Sagot niya.

"Good. Take her back with you, I'm tired cleaning up her mess. Get home safely."

"Yes, brother. Bye." The call ended.

MAINGAY, magulo at sobrang dami ng tao ang sumalubong kay Raven pagpasok niya sa isang Club. Ito ang lugar na sigurado siyang narito ang kapatid dahil kakilala nito ang may ari ng Club na ito. Raven couldn't get help to roll her eyes upon seeing some drunk couples making out anywhere. She felt suffocated in these kind place.
