EVERYTHING went back to normal, at least that's what they think. Nasa poder pa rin ni Sean ang babaeng anak ng target nila, patuloy pa rin ang one on one session sa Doctor na kakilala ni Sean. She's doing great. But her obsession with Ryker won't easily fade, it takes time to get rid of it. And they're all willing to wait. After all, wala naman ibang tao na tutulong sa babae, not her uncle and definitely not her father. Wala ni isa sa mga kapamilya nito.

Si Ryker na ang pumapasok sa opisina habang si Nyker naman ay sumunod sa mga magulang ng mga ito sa ibang bansa. Mas nakahinga sila nang maluwag ni Ryker. His cousins were all safe, including his friends. That old man was fighting them fairly. Kahit na  itinatago nila ngayon ang anak nito.

"I'm bored!" She whined.

"Eat!" Levi answered and handed her a small plate with cake on it and a fork.

Napipilitan siyang tumayo at kinuha 'yon. Nakabalik na rin sila sa penthouse nilang dalawa ni Ryker. The first thing she did was to clean the whole house at nilabhan ang mga damit nilang dalawa ni Ryker. At habang nasa trabaho ang boyfriend niya, si Levi ang naiiwan sa bahay para may kasama siya.

Her face lit up. "Mayroon pa ba?" She asked and Levi nodded.

"Sa kusina, sa ref. Tirhan mo ako ah?" Habilin nito sa kanya habang busy ito sa pagtitipa sa laptop nito, hindi na nag-abala na tignan siya.

Travis and Sean were tracking their target. While, Levi, on the other hand works. Gathering information and sending it to Government with a right amount of money. She wanted to help him, pero ito na ang kusang umayaw, parang katulad nilang dalawa ni Ryker. Matindi rin ang pangangailangan sa pera at ayaw silang hatian.

She lazily stood up and went to the kitchen. Hindi sita mahilig sa cake but Rion's cake was the best cake na natikman niya! Hindi 'yon nakakasawa dahil sakto lang ang tamis noon. Nagtimpla rin siya ng juice para sa kanilang dalawa ni Levi.

Rion and the other ladies were sending her a lot of chats, pero ni isa ay wala siyang nirereplyan. She ghosted them because she's thinking about their safety. Even though, the old man was fighting fairly, hindi pa rin nila masasabi ang susunod na galaw nito. There's a lot of what if's. Paano nalang kung bigla siyang binomba o binaril habang kasama niya ang mga ito. She doesn't want that to happened. Prevention is better than cure, ika nga nila.

"Uuwi raw next, next week ang mga magulang niyo. Nyker told me he already did his best to control them, dalawang linggo lang daw ang kaya niyang ibigay para tapusin ang problema natin dito." Levi said.

Cj chuckled softly, imagining how Nyker managed to let her and his parents to stay there for two weeks. Mahirap kausapin ang mga matatandang 'yon. Mga paladesisyon.

"To let them stay there for another two weeks. Wow, such a great convincing power he has." Sagot niya.

Inilapag niya ang dalawang baso ng orange juice sa coffee table, bago bumalik sa kusina para kunin ang cake niya.

"That's one of his charms." Levi answered and chuckled.

She nod her head, silently agreeing to Levi. Truly, that was Nyker's charm, no one can resist to it aside from her and Ryker. They are kind of special, and Nyker rarely used it to them. Kapag may kasalanan lang ito at alam ni Nyker na hindi siya sasantuhin ng kapatid. For example, fucking Ryker's secretary.

She spent another day, laying down on the sofa, watching Netflix series or playing online games. Levi installed a game that involves guns on her iPad a while ago. Call of Duty. Cj already tried playing online games before, pero palagi siyang nauurat dahil palagi rin siyang talo. Muntik pa niyang maibato noon ang cellphone niya.

Masyado siyang nag enjoy sa laro na hindi na niya namalayan na nakauwi na pala si Ryker.

"Hun?" Ryker called and she just hummed. "Nag dinner ka na? May pagkain ba?" Sunod sunod na tanong nito.

Cj glanced at him for a few seconds and bring her gaze back to her game. "I'm busy."

She heard Ryker sighed and left her side. Nasa nilalaro  niya ang buong atensyon. That she didn't even noticed Ryker's walking back and forth, nakapagpalit na ito ng damit, at umupo sa tabi niya ulit.

"Hindi ka pa ba aalis?" She heard Ryker asked his cousin.

Levi snorted. "Thank you ha?"

"You're welcome," she heard Ryker answered flatly.

Wala siyang pakialam sa dalawang kasama niya, she didn't even mind Ryker lashing out his frustrations towards Levi. Hanggang sa tuluyan nang mapaalis si Levi at may dumating na pagkain na inorder malamang ni Ryker. Cj can smell the food, but she kept on playing.

"Hun?" He called her again using their endearment, malambing ang boses nito. His hand was placed above her stomach and his forefinger was drawing small circles, ipinagsawalang bahala niya lang 'yon. "Jordan. I'm hungry."

"Eat first." Cj answered without any hesitation.

Napasinghap siya nang hinablot ni Ryker ang iPad niya at inilapag 'yon sa coffee table. Katabi ng paper bag na naglalaman ng pagkain na inorder nito. He cornered her and hungrily smashed his lips against hers. She groaned when a familiar sensation sipped through her whole body. A tingling reaction tracing from her belly button down to her womanhood.

Ryker bit her lower lip, causing her to gasp and he took advantage of it. He pushed his tongue inside her mouth and explored it until his heart content. She didn't pushed him. Mas gusto niya ang halik nito kaysa sa laro na nilalaro niya. Who cares about that damn game? That won't kiss her and feel her good.

"Can I have your attention now?" Ryker whispered in between their parted lips.

She hummed and softly pressed her lips on his, "yes, hun. You can have me now."

Ryker doesn't need to be told twice, he immediately attacked her with hunger. He devoured her lips as if it was the only thing that can make him feel alive. Cj heart flutter and kissed him back with the same ferocity, pouring all her love with her kisses. As their lips still connected to each other, their body loosing every piece of their clothes. They both exhausted themselves, not minding about their last mission the next day.

RYKER GROANED as he stirred up when he heard a loud knock coming from their room's door. Tatayo na sana siya para pagbuksan ang kung sino man sa mga pinsan niya ang kumakatok at nagwawala sa labas nang maalala na hawak nga pala ni Cj ang kamay niya.

"Hun, wake up. We have unwanted visitors." Masuyong bulong niya habang paulit ulit na hinahalikan ang ulo nito.

He smiled softly when she slowly open her eyes. Magulo pa ang buhok nito at walang kahit ano na nakalagay sa mukha ni Cj, but her looks took his breath away. She looks ethereal.

"Good morning, Calista." He whispered and claimed her lips. Not minding her morning breath. He loves her and her morning breath won't lessen it. Even just a pinch of it.

She gently pushed him and cover her mouth using the back of her hand. "Morning," she murmured and stood up.

Binalot nito ang hubad na katawan sa puting roba at walang lingon na pumasok sa banyo ng kwarto nila. He fixed their bed first before covering his body with decent clothes. Not minding the loud knock coming from his team. Ryker only confirmed it when he heard Sean's voice, cussing him to no end.

Ngumisi lang siya at dinilaan ang pang-ibabang labi nang maalala ang nangyari sa kanilang dalawa ni Cj kagabi, they didn't used any condoms but Cj will surely take her pill this morning. Besides, he'll surely used his hand or settled with Cj's hand the next coming days. Regular ang period ni Cj, she's super lazy at doble ang pagiging bossy nito kapag malapit na itong magkaroon. He already saw how lazy she was yesterday. Sigurado na magiging bossy ito ngayong araw o kaya naman ay maiirita sa pinsan niya.

"Hindi mo pa rin binuksan?!" Cj snapped at him.

His lips formed into a thin line. As expected. Hinayaan niya na ito ang magbukas sa pintuan at salubungin ang mga nambubulabog sa kanila. He glanced at the side table and saw his digital clock, tsaka niya lang naalala na may dapat nga pala silang asikasuhin ngayong araw. Even though it was his day off. Uuwi ang mommy at daddy niya sa susunod na linggo, kasama ang mga magulang ni Cj. Their parents doesn't have any idea what they're doing.

It all started with that old man bitterness. He can't even suck how he lamely and nearly died that day because of close up shot of Cj.

"What?!" She snapped at them.

Sean looked at the two of them flatly. "We have a lot of things to do and you're here, waking up late, have time to flirt with each other while we're here, being fucking anxious because the old man is now moving."

"What do you mean?" His brows furrowed and stood behind Cj.

Sean smiled at him sarcastically. "I don't know, maybe he's now looking for his daughter?"

Tumaas ang kilay niya. "He hadn't seen his daughter for a while now. Of course he'll look for her." He answered nonchalantly.

"What's the fuss?" Cj asked.

"Wow, unbothered couple yarn?" Levi looked at them, his eyes were sporting disbelief.

Napailing si Sean sa reaction nilang dalawa. Ryker already expected that this might happen, they kidnapped her daughter, more like sumama ito sa kanya at pumayag na mag stay sa bahay ni Sean. It was consensual. For him, it wasn't kidnapping? Isa pa, hindi naman nila sinasaktan ang babae, sagot pa nga nila ang psychiatrist nito. Na dapat ang ama nito ang nag p-provide.

Naglakad papunta sa sala si Sean at sumunod silang lahat rito. Naka bukas ang TV niya sa sala at doon nila nakikita ang mga CCTV footage sa malapit na lugar na dinadaanan ng tatay ni Pearl.

"What do you want for breakfast?" He whispered to Cj.

"Kape nalang." She answered, a bit irritated.

Nagtimpla siya ng kape nilang dalawa ni Cj real quick bago bumalik sa sala. Kung silang dalawa lang ni Cj, they'll attack without a solid plan, but they have Sean, Travis and Levi with them. They're a team. They need a solid plan to make sure that every one of them will be safe.

Lalo na silang dalawa ni Cj. They're more on a battlefield. Unlike those three who's good with tech stuff.

Inabot niya kay Cj ang tasa nito bago siya umupo sa tabi nito. Kumunot ang noo niya nang walang ilapag na plano si Sean.

"What's the plan?" He asked the three.

Travis looked at them flatly.

Levi tapped his fingers against the table.

Sean raised his brows.

"What?" Cj asked.

He licked his lower lip and a smirk stretched out of his lips as he slowly realized something. Naalala niya ang mga plano ni Sean kapag may hinuhuli silang bigatin na tao. Cj and him likes to compete with each other, they like to see who's stronger between the two, but he always ends up getting worried about her well-being. Cj loves to proved that she can do anything without so much of his help. And she proved it right.

"No plan?" He asked Sean. A playful smile plastered on his lips.

Pikon na tumingin sa kanya si Sean at umismid ito. His jaw was clenching a little, a sign that he's forcing himself to calm so he won't punch him, when it comes to hand to hand combat, without Sean's laptop as his weapon, dehado ito sa kanya.

"Yabang kingina," he heard Levi uttered.

"Yes, we don't need one. Remember what happened when we planned to catch him? Anong nangyari? Nabaril kayong dalawa dahil sa kayabangan niyo. Nawala sa serbisyo. If we're going to plan, I'm sure you two won't follow it. Magpapayabangan na naman kayo for sure." Travis answered his question earlier without any trace of emotion in his face.

"We won't do it again?" Nakangisi na sagot niya. "I'll let her handle that old man. Calista need to settle the score with him, right hun?" He asked and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"I'll do my job, properly this time. I won't let him live again."
