EVER SINCE Evron became the Chief of Black Lotus, he has been on a mission and rarely goes home. Pero sinisiguro niyang nasa bahay siya sa tuwing may mahalagang okasyon sa bahay nila, katulad na lang ngayon. It was his father’s birthday, and he needed to go home, but he had a mission to finish.
Evron moved through the night like a shadow that had learned how to think.
Nasa rooftop siya ng isang mataas na gusali at nakatingin siya sa ibaba. The city was alive with the lights glowing, traffic humming, and the people were unaware that a war was being settled above their heads.
Huminga ng malalim na hininga si Evron.
Then his phone rang.
It was his sister calling him.
“Yes?”
“Kuya, uuwi ka ba ngayon?” tanong ni Neriah. “It was Daddy’s birthday today. Kailangang kumpleto tayo.”
