“You're so funny, Tiago,” one of the girls says.
“Can I give you a massage? Like full body massage with mine? I'm sooooooo good at it that you'll be craving it another two seconds later,” the other weird girl says.“I kinda love that idea,” Santiago says.“San!” Weston calls.Santiago smiles when he sees Weston. He walks over to him.“Will you say hi to my girls?” Santiago asks even though he's already dragging Weston to them.“Girls, this is Weston. My best brother,” Santiago says.“He looks cute…” the girl who suggested the ‘full body massage’ earlier purrs like a damn kitten.“I need to talk to you,” Weston says.“Now?” Santiago glances at Weston.“Yeah. Now.”Santiago leans on the two girls, he kisses them one after the other. “Just a second.”“Alright.” The full body massage girl winks at Weston. Weston rolls his eyes on her.Outside, Santiago looks aroundRelated Chapters

“Don't smoke. You can get cancer from it,” he says.“You believe that bullshit?” “It's not bullshit. I won't want anyone around me to go through that creepy illness.” Lorette grunts. “I thought you needed something to calm your fucking nerves.”Weston takes out two wrapped things from his pocket. He gives one to Lorette and tears the other one.“Gum?” she laughs. “Am I supposed to chew this instead of my precious stick?”“It keeps you preoccupied. All you can get from it is a decayed tooth and that's still fair by me. You get to change that easily.” Lorette looks like she's going to protest but then, she shrugs and opens the wrapper and throws the gum in her mouth.“What are you doing around here?” Weston asks.“Doing some research.”Weston chuckles.“What?” “Well…nothing…just that I can't believe you're taking this seriously. We might leave anytime.”“I have alwa

From outside, Weston swears the hotel looks normal, like the normal one you can pass the night. But getting inside, Weston shakes his head. Cigarette smokes mixed with some damn funny smell fills the air. How can a sane human survive in the midst of all these smell? As if reading his mind, Liam chuckles and pulls out a nose mask. He gives it to Weston. Weston quickly slips it over his face. They both go to the receptionist desk. The receptionist winks at Liam, say some words that sounds to Weston like code before giving him a note. Liam covers his head with his hoodie and they both walk down the hallway. They stop in front of a room. Weston reads the number of the room. 17. “I'm going to knock on the door, you wait for me outside and stop anyone from coming in,” Liam says in a quiet voice. “Okay.” “I trust you,” Liam says. Weston

“You run and he dies!” Weston shouts. To rub in what he said, Weston takes out another gun from his pocket and points it at the fat belly man's head. “I can take care of myself!” The fat belly man says. At once the two men run off.Weston delivers a punch that sends the fat belly man crashing against the wall. He moves closer to the man's and kicks him until he is sure the man has has enough for the time being. “What…the hell do you want?” The fat belly man asks, breathing heavily.“Who are you?” “Fuck that stupid Sandra…you can't trust a bitch like her, I swear it. She might look…harmless but she isn't.” “You still haven't answer my question,” Weston says.“I'm not someone important. If you want money—”“Weston?” Weston hears Liam's voice.He turns around. “Let's go.”“I am—”Liam grabs Weston hand and runs with him out of the place. “Get in right now,” Liam sa

Wow. When did it get to this? “I was just asking about your well-being.”“Thanks but it is none of your business,” the girl says, give him another warning glare before walking off angrily.Weston scoffs. What's wrong with her? “I guess you just got rejected,” Lorette's voice makes Weston to turn around.“Hey. Did you have a good sleep?” She shrugs. “Last night was crazy. Spent it outside the dorm.” Weston smirks.“By the way, how do you know her?” Lorette nudges in the direction the girl went.Weston walks over to her. “Saw her at a crazy hotel last night. Honestly, I thought she was hurt or something so I tried to ask her if she's cool.” He snorts. “Can't believe she threatened me.”“I have met a bunch of them in the last few hours. Their boyfriends are drug Lords and they are too ashame to admit it, so, why not? You know how rich those guys are?” Weston shakes his head. “I have something

“A fool calling someone stupid,” the guy mutters. “Weston, can we discuss?” Before Weston can answer, Jose is already pulling him away. “Man, where are you taking me to?” Weston stops walking.“Staying with a fool like him will only make you like him in less than a second, the sooner we leave him the better.” “Is this the kind of guy you chose to move with, Weston?” The guy asks.“Um…I was so tired that day, I'd have attended your party. Do you still have another one coming up?” Weston asks ignoring the angry stare Jose is giving him.“Since you missed it—”“Just shut up already and let him go. Can't you tell he doesn't want to have anything to do with you?” Jose fires.“Talk to me again and you're dead.”“Fuck you and that dumb mouth of yours.” The guy walks over to Jose and grabs his shirt. “Do you want to die?” “If you don't get your hands off my shirt, you'll regret it for the

The anger in Jose's eyes lessens by a percent. “What?” “No one has ever beat me in video games.” “Are you kidding me?” “It's much better to try to win against me than to spend your energy on that guy.” Jose doesn't say anything for some seconds. He shakes his head. “If not for you, man…Rex would be dead tonight. I ain't capping.”“I know.” Jose withdraws his hand from Weston's. He looks up at the sky. He doesn't talk for a long time which Weston assumes he's using to calm himself.“Let's see how good you are,” Jose finally says and goes inside.Like hell, Weston doesn't know how, but he might as well say he's never felt this kind of feeling before. Like the feeling of achievement. Okay, maybe he's felt it once. When he first got the news that Hannah is born.What happened just now, Weston needs no one tell him it could have resulted in a clash between the Big Boys and Rex's group.“Are you

“If anything happens to my laptop, you'll have to replace it,” Weston warns. He grabs the next guy, holds him tight, his fingers digging into the guy's flesh. With his leg, he kicks the third guy. It isn't up to five minutes before all the guys give up. Weston takes the towel he dropped on the bed and continues drying his hair. “Who sent you here?”When none of them answers, Weston crouches to the level of one of them. “You want me to repeat the question?”“Rex.”“Now, go tell Rex that if he ever tries to talk to Jose the way he did yesterday, I'll personally come for him. Now, get your asses out of my room,”Weston says.The guys scramble on their feet. Two run out of the room, the last one limps outside, cursing under his breath.Some minutes later, Weston locks the door and goes to the lecture room. He can only hope that the lecture isn't as boring at yesterday’s own because it might actually be the last o

Jose smiles. “Just a second, guys.” Jose hangs his hand on Weston's shoulder and they walk away from the place. “What did you do to make him apologize?” Jose asks. “Nothing serious. By the way, who are those guys?” “My buddies.” “Thought you said you don't have friends,” Weston says. “Yeah. They are more like a family. We Big Boys care for each other and take each other's backs.” “By smoking this early morning?” “Come on, man, we're just chilling out.” “Smoking is bad.” “You sound like a nudnik,” Jose mutters. Weston takes off Jose's hand from his shoulder. “Quit smoking, it isn't good for your health.” “Damn it, man. Is that why you're wearing a face mask? So you don't get any cigarette in your lungs?” Weston stares at Jose for some seconds. He wants, for the first time, to tell someone

“You're surely a dick head,” Santiago mutters.“Thanks for the compliment.” She grabs the shopping bag and goes to the front of the mirror. “You guys should start preparing. I'll be done in no time. San, you can check up on him to see if he's arrived home.” “Are you our boss or something?” Santiago grumbles.Weston sighs. All these don't seem like a good idea. There is little or nothing he can do with Lorette hell-bent on going. Some minutes later, they are in the car, Santiago is driving. Weston holds tightly to the seat. “Can you add a little more speed? We have to be there before another therapist goes in to him,” Lorette says. “He adds more speed to this and some damn cops will be pulling us over,” Weston says.“I'll be happy if that happens. At least, we won't have to go and the bitch won't have to get herself killed—”“Write a good epitaph for me. Tell everyone how good I am,” Lorette says.

He dials Santiago's number. “Where are you?” He asks when Santiago answers the call. “At the balcony.”Weston hangs up and goes to the back of the house. Santiago is lying on the grass under a decorative tent, his face up in the sky. Weston clears his throat and goes beside Santiago. He lies beside him. “When we were kids…we used to stare at the sky together anytime we were angry and frustrated,” Santiago mutters. “You have quite a history together,” Weston mutters.“How could she come up with that plan, Weston?” “She's one of the few people I can't read their minds.”For a long time, they both stare at the sky in silence. “We have to do this for us,” Weston finally breaks the silence. “If we force her to change the plan, she might think we don't respect her decisions.”“You know Mateo, Weston. You know him better than all these.”“I bet you know Lorette more

Santiago inputs the passcode and opens the door. The three of them go inside. Weston goes over to the projector in one of the bedrooms, he turns it on while Santiago prepares the guns they need to carry along. About ten minutes later, Lorette displays what she found out so far on the projector.“He loves to get a massage every time he just arrives at his house,” Lorette says. “So far, he hasn't employed the help of a therapist twice.” “So…you're saying one of us should give him a massage?” Weston asks.“Whosoever that person is, it must be someone who is strong and quick and sharp…” Santiago says. “So…Weston, you do it.”“He doesn't do male therapists,” Lorette asks.“Then the idea isn't going to work,” Weston concludes. “You two, have you forgotten? I'm a woman too,” Lorette says.“We can't allow you to do something as dangerous as that,” Weston says.“What?” “I know you want to

Lorette shakes her head and stands up. “You two are…” she shakes her head again. “I'm short of words.” She walks off. “Where is she going?” Santiago asks.“Okay. I think that's enough. She might really get mad,” Weston says. They both laugh again.Weston taps on the play button. A guy in a lab coat is standing by a table. “What you're seeing on the table is the human long and short intestine,” the guy in lab coat says.“I think I'm going to puke,” Santiago mutters. “You've got that stuff in your stomach too,” Weston says back.“Mr Mateo,” the guy in the video continues, “have donated a lot of these intestines to our laboratory. And they are the ones that the owners gave to him.” “Mr Mateo donated a human brain to us!” Another guy in a lab coat says.“Without Mr Mateo, I wouldn't have seen a human brain in real life!”“Kudos to Mr Mateo!” “Science is nothing without Mr Mateo!”

Mateo smiles. “First off, I'll love to say I owe women everything I am today.” “Oh, why do you say that?” The interviewer asks.“My mother is a woman!” The interviewer laughs. “Of course. My mother is a woman too.”Mateo smiles. “So, right from the moment I was a kid, I had always wondered how I could pay back womanhood for bringing me to a great world like this and then…I got this idea twenty years ago and my life has never been the same.”“Fuck you,” Santiago swears. “Wow! That's…” the interviewer in the video says, “that's breathtaking.” “Thank you.” “So…” the interviewer adjusts on his seat in the video. “There have been rumours flying around, perhaps you have heard about them. Um…so people are talking about how women have been dying in your community, can you say something about that?” Mateo smiles again. “Thank you so much, sir. I have done more interviews like this than I can count and ther

Inside the restaurant, Santiago and Lorette keep trying to avoid making eye contact with Weston. Weston bites on his lower lip. He picks up the menu and looks at it. “Salmon looks good,” Santiago says. Weston glances sharply at Santiago. “Salmon?” He's sure Santiago mentioned once that the worst food anyone can ever offer him is salmon. No matter how great it's cooked. “Huh, yeah. Salmon.” Lorette glances at Santiago. Santiago sighs and drops the menu. “I give up. I'm no match for you two. Okay, Weston, you caught me. What the fuck is going on?” Santiago asks.“I'm so sorry, guys. I didn't mean to embarrass you two,” Weston says.“That's not what I asked, bro. Anyone who thinks of you as an embarrassment is living with zero point two percent of his brain.” Weston smiles. “I…um…I had a girlfriend, something like that.” “A girlfriend? Not a wife?” Lorette asks.“We didn't get mar

“Let go of my hand, you stupid idiot.” “This is going to get all serious if you try to use physical assault,” Weston says.By now, a few people are starting to gather. “Give me my money!” The woman shouts.“I will give you, just tell me—”“Give me my money, you scam!” She shouts. “Give me my money today!” Weston looks around helplessly. Who the hell carries ten million dollars around? Why the hell won't she just tell him her account number? “Give him his money, mister,” a nosy woman in the crowd says. “Please tell him to give me my money!” The woman shouts.“Damn. To think men are going around destroying our dignity,” a man spats.“Very soon, people are going to start saying we men are scams,” another guy says.“Why won't he pay her money?” Weston just stands there hearing the insult going in and out of his ears. A few people are dragging his clothes. It feels like it's

“Hey, man, what have I got to do with this conversation?” Weston asks.“I'm sure she's telling you stuff behind my back. I'll wipe ‘em too,” Santiago says, his eyes on Lorette. Weston notices Lorette roll her eyes, her lips form like she wants to say something but she looks away from Santiago.“Let's get a cab, my legs are aching,” Lorette mutters. Santiago stops a taxi pulling over. Again, the two argue on who is going to sit at the front seat. Weston can swear he's never felt so embarrassed in his life. The taxi man clears his throat. “The seats are pretty much the same.” “They are not the same. Only the boss sits in the front seat,” Santiago says. “And who's the boss here?” Lorette asks. “Bitch, I was born two seconds before you,” Santiago says. “That doesn't count. We were both born in the same minute!” Lorette fires. Having enough of it, Weston grabs the person closest to

Weston and Jose meet at the front of the door. Jose looks around before pulling Weston in. He leans on the door and stares at Weston.“How did you know?” Jose asks, his voice in a whisper.“What?”“Don't play that shit with me, man. You know what I'm talking about.” “I had a hunch,” Weston says, trying to sound as flippant as possible.“Unless you're some fortune tellers, there's no way you really knew without getting a tip.”Weston looks sharply at Jose, he nods his head slowly. “That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I could open a shop and read people's future. How about you become my first client? You could make some testimonials—”“Westonnnnnn!” “Okay. Cool. I heard from someone.” Weston grabs his towel. “Who? From…Santiago?” Weston looks at Jose in surprise. “You guessed correctly. But…with all your hate for him, how come he's the first person who came to your mind?”“
