Chapter 40

After the meeting with my most trusted men, I pack my clothes in a backpack. Just one set of clothes to change and then my small pocket pistol with 3 rounds of bullets. It must be not enough or just too much depending on how the business would go. The meet-up between the gang and the discreet buyer from Cebu City would be after midnight tomorrow but we have decided to head out tonight. We need to check into one of the most expensive hotels near the area of the meeting. To avoid being noticed as gangsters or mafia, we need to look like tourists.

The other members, Donte and Rafael decided to buy surfing boards from the nearest surfing store to enjoy the sea and pretend like we were enchanted with the beach, the view, and the sunny weather in the morning.

"Daddy! Daddy!"
