LUCIAN PROFACI (The Black Sparrow Society) Chapter 53
Before he could approach Keira, she already got up and left the place. She looked frail and thin. Ang akala niya ay bumalik na ito sa Amerika pagkatapos ng bakasyon nito sa Italy."You know that pregnant woman?" tanong ni Georgina sa kaniya. He nodded. "Nabuntis mo?" Pinisil niya ang ilong ni Georgina bilang lambing, saka hinalikan sa pagitan ng mga kilay na halos magdikit na sa iritasyon."You and your ridiculous thoughts. Her name is Keira and Lorenzo went out with her a few times. Hindi ko s'ya nabuntis at hindi ko alam kung sino ang ama ng anak niya." Relief flooded Georgina's beautiful face. Paano pa kaya ang asawa niya kapag nagbuntis uli sa baby nila? He is expecting the worst ngayon pa lang. Siguradong maghahanap ng mga prutas na wala sa bansa o kaya naman ay hindi napapanahon. "Akala ko—" Ngumuso ang asawa niya. At bago pa ito nakapagsalita uli ay inabot niya ang mga labi nito. He kissed her to his heart's content. If she didn't tap his shoulder, hindi s'ya titigil. Hininga
LUCIAN PROFACI (The Black Sparrow Society) Epilogue
You can never tell who will be your ally and who will betray you in this world. Some of them have been there for less time, but their allegiance has always been with you. Some of your closest allies may have sold their souls to the devil and turned against you despite their long history of loyalty. Hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit nagawa ito ng isang taong pinagkatiwalaan ng kaniyang ama sa napakahabang panahon. Itinuring nila itong pamilya. At alam niyang ibinigay ng kaniyang ama ang lahat at maraming beses itong pinaboran. "Why?" tanong niya kay Aurelio. Nasa isang silid sila kasama nila si Lorenzo. Nakaupo si Aurelio sa isang silya at nasa pagitan nila ang isang maliit na mesa. The old man just shrugged his shoulders. He is clearly not willing to talk at this time. Wala itong piring o tali sa paa at kamay. Kung titingnan ay para lamang itong nasa meeting. Maayos ang bihis at walang sugat sa kahit anong parte ng katawan o mukha. Si Lorenzo ang nagsabi sa kaniya na pinasundan it
LUCIAN PROFACI (The Black Sparrow Society) Prologue
BERLIN, July 2013 The new Hennessey Venom GT rushed to the finish line, sending waves of heat through the air. She had wire wheels that glowed with a thousand pinpoints of light, chrome fins that glinted in the heat, and dark blue paint that gleamed in the sunlight. "Chi è quello?" tanong ni Lucian kay Roberto, a fellow half-Italian. Kaklase niya ito sa Engineering sa Stanford University. They graduated last month and Don Lucio, his father, attended the ceremony but immediately left using their private plane. Kasama siya dapat nito pauwi sa Italy pero may mga kailangan pa siyang ayusin. Humingi siya ng kaunti pang oras sa ama. Halata ang disgusto nito pero pumayag din. And now Lucian and his friends are in Berlin— enjoying a street race. It's illegal, of course. It has been an issue in Cologne as well but it's still being held away from crowded urban areas."George Dela Garza. I've seen her race a few times." Kumunot ang noo ni Lucian. "Did you just say her?" "Yes. George is shor

TORONTO, January 2016You can be sure that someone, somewhere will tell you that you're wasting your time and talent, that you're doomed to fail, that others have tried and failed before you, that the mistakes you keep making are portents of your own impending failure, that you lack the courage to even try, that your upbringing doesn't match your aspirations, that your personality doesn't mesh with your mission, that the task is too difficult.That someone in Lucian's life is his father. Time and time again, Don Lucio would remind him that his place is not in those glass revolving doors, confined in those four walls. But Lucian loves his job. He loves designing and understanding the rigidity, strength and stability of anything he sees.But most importantly, he loves Georgina. Loving her is choosing not to join his father's organization. Sa mata ng mga tao, isang Structural Engineer si Lucian."Have you done the calculation for the East Canyon Suspension Bridge?" Lucian's thoughts were

NORMANDY, February 2016Secrecy and deceit. They eat at one's spirit like a malignant tumour. They devour the good and leave nothing but ruin in their wake."Does he know where you are right now?" tanong ni Nikita kay Georgina."I told him I have a conference in France and will be back after a couple of days. So, yes. He knows where I am." She does have an advertising agency. It's legit. But her business in France is different.Maaga silang nagising ni Nikita habang si Camille at Krista ay mahimbing pa ang tulog sa kwarto ng mga ito. They are at the Vanguard Triad Main office in Normandy. Kapag sa Pilipinas sila ipinatawag ay sa Calvados sila pumupunta.When she visits here, it's as if time has stopped in Normandy. The structure they are in is a brick one with a steep roof, large arched windows on the upper floors, and sturdy balustrades on the porches. It's well-proportioned and symmetrical.Don't be misled by the structure's age. It is tightly guarded by armed men and women who have

TORONTOThe depth of your love for someone and the impact they have on you personally have nothing to do with how long you have known them.Lucian was already asleep by the time Georgina came home. Saglit siyang nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na pagmasdan ang lalaking mahal niya at hindi na siya makahintay na matapos ang serbisyo niya. The amount of money she saved overseas is enough to last for ten generations. Georgina doesn't need to work if she doesn't want to. Pwede niyang ituon ang oras at panahon sa pagpapamilya.Nang kumirot ang balakang niya ay hindi niya napigilan ang mapangiwi. Trouble found her during her trip to Ukraine where the Hope Diamond is currently being kept. Every six months, the gems gets moved to a different country, at naroon ito ngayon. Alam niyang parating ang mga ito at sadyang hinihintay niya. They were able to get past the security at the back because she purposely left it open. She wants to send a message to whoever sent these men. "Vy znayete parol'?" The me

Tinanghali ng gising si Georgina kinabukasan at wala na rin sa tabi niya si Lucian. It's a weekday at may pasok ito sa opisina. Nevertheless, he left her a note beside her phone.Good morning beautiful! I'll be home early so don't cook dinner. I love you! -LPThe note put a smile on her face. Para siyang tanga na hinalikan pa ang maliit na papel. And if her friends from Vanguard can see her now, uulanin siya ng tukso ng mga ito. Nang huling araw niya sa France ay tama si Nikita. Pinag-usapan ang service niya at diretso siyang tinanong kung magreretiro na. Malapit ng sumapit ang ika-25 kaarawan niya. She answered them truthfully and said she wants to retire. Hindi na nagtanong pa ang mga ito at inilagay sa minutes ang pinag-usapan.They will need her to do the turnover two weeks before her last day. They have new recruits often kaya hindi magiging problema ang kapalit niya. Ang hindi niya sigurado ay kung may IT ang mga ito na mahahanap na katulad ng kalibre niya. The Vanguard Triad kn

Another call came in to Lucian's phone from an unknown number, but he ignored it. He strolled up to the florist and picked out some blooms for Georgina. The florist has her favourite gerberas and peonies. Soft pink peonies and multicoloured gerberas would perk up this dreary winter day.Lucian saw two men harassing a woman where he was parked near an alley. He should go, but he can't turn a blind eye to the fact that one of them has the woman by the hair. Lucian began his training at a young age, beginning with firearms, knives, weapons of mass destruction and martial arts. He has a special fondness for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. And the man who trained him was a former CIA agent who owed his life to Don Lucio— Danny Perilli. Ipinatong ni Lucian ang bungkos ng bulaklak sa ibabaw ng hood at saka naglakad palapit sa kinaroroonan ng mga ito. He doesn't want any bloodshed at sana ay madaan sa isang maayos na usapan ang lahat. "Is there a problem here?" Hinila ni Lucian ang babae mula sa pagka
