Naalimpungatan si Keyller nang makarinig ng mahinang kaluskos mula sa itaas. Nang magising ang diwa niya ay naririnig pa niya ang mahinang pagbukas at pagsara ng pinto pero nanatiling nakapikit ang kanyang mata habang pinapakiramdaman ang paligid. He has sharp hearing and situational awareness even when he is asleep which has developed over the past years since he became a murderer.

Keyller knew it was Lot 520, and he didn't know what this woman would do. It is impossible for her to escape because the door could only unlock by his fingerprint. He was confident that she will not leave.

The soft footsteps traveled down the staircase. It was slow and steady. He was amazed that even in the dark and in an unfamiliar place, Lot 520 didn't trip and fall. When she finally reached down, Keyller opened his eyes, and within the dark surroundings that were only illuminated by the dim light from the moon that shone through the window, he followed that dark silhouette as it moved towards a certain spot in his condo, the kitchen.

Keyller stilled for a moment before deciding to sit up and looked at the glowing clock situated on top of the small table just beside the sofa. The clock strikes one in the morning.

When the sound of the fridge door opened, Keyller immediately knew what Lot 520 wanted. She was hungry.

"Looking for food?" Keyller asked. His voice was raspy from the sleep. He finally sit on the sofa and reached for the remote control that was lying on the center table before switching on the light.

When the surroundings were flooded with lights, he saw Lot 520 staring at him dumbly. Her face was illuminated by the glow from the open fridge.

"Nagugutom ako. Kukuha lang ako ng pagkain." Lot 520 turned her head to look at him and pointed at the empty fridge.

"Are you hungry?" Keyller asked as he got down from the sofa and walked towards Lot 520. He grab the bathrobe that was hanging at the back of the sofa in passing and wrapped his bare upper body. He couldn't sleep with his clothes on so he was on his boxer.

The woman just stared at him not giving any reaction upon seeing his look and Keyller just shrugged a shoulder with it.

It may be that Lot 520 didn't understand what he said so she did not answer.

"Do you know how to cook?" Keyller has only instant noodles in stock and maybe it will do for now. He will just buy groceries later. He couldn't believe he could spend his precious money on a woman, the specie that he loath the most.

"Cock?"

Lot 520's eyes actually bulged at that word. It seems like she knew what cock was.

Keyller couldn't help raising his brows while looking at Lot 520 and his mouth twitched. This girl actually knows some dirty words yet the important things she couldn't understand. What a pain in the ass!

"Cook. Cooking." While explaining, Keyller could see Lot 520's complicated expression. She still couldn't understand what he is saying.

"Eat." Keyller put his hand close to his mouth gesturing for eating. He is starting to get irritated because they couldn't understand each other again. He regretted that he sent Kit back and now he was suffering.

"Me? Eat your cock?"

"What the fuck!?"

Keyller couldn't believe what he had just heard. His face grow red in anger but he clenched his fist to control it. He couldn't believe that this girl really cannot understand simple English.

"Me, fuck you?" Lot 520 pointed to herself while her face was brimming with innocence as she said those vulgar words. She also moved towards him and knelt in front of him. Her palms resting on her knees. "Pero nagugutom na ako. Saka hindi kita master para makipagtalik ako sa 'yo. Gusto ko lang kumain."

Lot 520 faced Keyller and twinkled those eccentric golden eyes like an innocent puppy begging for food.

Keyller was shocked and remained rooted on the ground. He was lost for words. But the saddest thing is, he is getting a fucking reaction because of the girl's position. A boner that he couldn't get easily if he did not use sex drugs.

"What are you doing? Get up!" he screamed.

When Lot 520 didn't budge, Keyller pulled her up and made her stand like a log before backing away like a scared little boy. He turned around to face his back at her.

"You..." Lot 520 trailed. Didn't seem to know what to say. "Ang sabi mo kakainin ko 'yan–"

"Stop!" Keyller cut her words. "Stop talking anymore."

He turned again to face her, face still riddled with rage. 

"Bakit? Ayaw mo kainin ko 'yang cock mo? Ang sabi mo--!"

"Just stop already! I don't want to hear you talk because it's useless. I can't understand you at all."

Dahil walang kahit anong mailuto sa kusina ni Keyller ay napagpasyahan niyang bumaba upang bumili ng makakain sa convenience store sa ibaba. Nais rin niyang iwasan ang awkward na sitwasyon nila ni Lot 520 dahil sa walang kabuluhan nilang argumento.

"You. Stay here." He pointed to the ground indicating that the girl should stay right where she is.

Galit pa rin siya sa sarili dahil sa nangyaring hindi pagkakaintindihan nila ng dalaga. Kailangan niyang lumabas upang magpalamig ang let himself cool down. Ngayon lang nangyari sa kanya na tumayo ang alaga niya sa isang babae na labis niyang kinakamuhian.

"Don't you dare escape. I'm going down to get you food!" Tinalikuran niya ang dalaga at iniwan itong nakatulala sa kusina na hindi alam kung ano ang gagawin.

Dumiretso ang binata sa kanyang kuwarto upang magbihis at nang muli siyang lumabas ay nakasuot na siya ng itim na maong pants at itim din na t-shirt. Ipinuyod niya ang medyo mahaba na niyang buhok na halos abit na sa kanyang balikat saka bumaba muli. Naabutan niya si Lot 520 na nasa kusina pa rin at may hawak na baso na may lamang tubig. He felt pity but he quickly ignored it.

"Saan ka pupunta?" Tumayo si Lot 520 nang makita siya at nagtanong.

Nangunot ang noo ni Keyller at pilit na inintindi ang dalaga pero sumakit lang ang ulo niya ay hindi pa rin niya nakuha kung ano ang ibig sabihin nito. He still have a freaking boner because his mind couldn't help thinking about the image of Lot 520 kneeling in front of him in the kitchen.

Mukhang kahit kailan ay mananatili na iyon sa kanyang isip na parang isang tattoo na mahirap tanggalin.

"I am going out to buy you food. Stay here and wait for me." Hindi na hinintay ni Keyller ang sagot ng dalaga. Bitbit ang wallet at lumang cellphone ay lumabas siya ng condo.

He always stacks cash in his safebox hidden inside his room and he used it when he is hiding from Aoife.

Nasa kabilang building lang ang convenience store na pupuntahan niya at nang makalabas nga ng building ay tumawid siya ng kalsada. Mahina ang daloy ng trapiko at hindi rin gaanong matao sa kalsada at kahit sa loob ng convenience store ay wala ring gaanong customer. Agad na nakabili ng bento box si Keyller at dalawa ang binili niya. Naglalaman iyon ng kanin, gulay at karne. Isang box para kay Lot 520, at isa para sa kanya.

Keyller could only shake his head in disbelief as he walked back to the other side of the road. Hindi niya lubos maisip na darating ang araw na manlilibre siya ng pagkain sa isang babae!

"Just what the fuck I am doing?" he muttered to himself.

Mabilis din siyang nakabalik sa itaas pero pagdating sa harap ng pintuan ng condo niya ay isang itim na envelope ang nakasingit sa baba niyon ang sumalubong sa kanya. Sandaling nangunot ang noo ng binata at yumuko upang abutin ang envelope.

Iisa lang ang ibig sabihin nito. May misyon na pinapagawa sa kanya si Boss Trace. And that black envelope stands for killing. There is someone that Trace wanted to be dead, and it is Keyller who's gonna do the mission.

Napangisi ang binata dahil tamang-tama lang na may misyon siya ngayon dahil kailangan niya ng pera panggastos para sa pagtira niya sa condo at para na rin kay Lot 520.

Matapos buksan ang pinto ay pumasok na siya sa loob bitbit ang envelope sa isang kamay at ang supot na kinalalagyan ng bento box sa kabila.

"Where is my integrity for upholding my words that I dislike women yet I am being smitten by one now?"

Naglakad siya diretso sa kusina at naabutan pa rin doon si Lot 520 na nakaupo at nakatunganga sa mesa. She was cupping her chin with her hands and Keyller stopped on his tracks. Masiyadong ma-appeal si Lot 520 kahit simple lang ang suot nito.

She was wearing his oversize t-shirt and her pants was too big for her kaya na tupi iyon sa baywang nito. Nakalugay ang itim at tuwid na buhok nito pero kahit natatabunan ang kalahati ng mukha nito ay kita pa rin ni Keyller ang kagandahan ng mukha nito.

Ipinilig niya ang ulo upang pawiin ang  walang kuwentang naisip at lumapit sa mesa saka inilapag ang bento box na binili mula sa convenience store. 

"Help yourself. I am going to do something. Just throw the box away after you eat and go back to sleep. Don't wait for me, I've got important things to do," mahabang sabi ng binata habang nilalabas ang bento box mula sa supot.

At dahil mukhang hindi rin naman siya naiintindihan ng dalaga, matapos ito kuhaan ng kutsara at tinidor ay iniwan niya itong mag-isa sa kusina. Importante ang mission na ibinigay ni boss Trace at hindi niya iyon kayang ipagbukas. 

"Salamat!"

Huminto sa paglalakad si Keyller at itinaas ang isang kamay bilang sagot saka lumabas ng kusina at dumiretso sa training room. Pagkarating doon ay mabilis niyang inalisa ang profile ng magiging target.

A guy name Stanford, an ex-Foedus. Nagpanggap itong patay upang matakasan ang oragnisasyon  nila, but Trace found it. Now he is asking Keyller to send Stanford to his final destination, six feet below the ground!

Matapos mabasa ang profile ay lumabas ng training room si Keyller bitbit and kanyang espada. Wala na sa kusina si Lot 520 pero dahil alam niyang matutulog na ito sa kuwarto niya ay hinayaan na lang niya ang dalaga at tuluyang lumabas ng condo.
