We zoomed down the highway, kalye lights zooming pass us. I held on tight to Green Arrows waist when we went around corners.
“Remind me again why I can’t drive?” I asked
“Because you’re too young. Plus, Dinah would have a fit if we wrecked her cycle. She rebuilt it sa pamamagitan ng hand you know” he laughed like he remembered an old joke. I sighed and tightened my grip as we zoomed around a corner.
“So where exactly are we going?” I asked
“To find someone who knows Roulette’s whereabouts. We need to find Sonar, her assistant” he explained
“Dad, what if it’s too late?” I asked
“Let’s not think about that” he said. He sped down an alley and Green palaso pulled to a stop beside the wall. He took off his helmet and shook out his blonde hair. We were under cover, in our everyday clothes. I suddenly had a thought.
“Dad, why is my hair black if your and mom’s hair is blonde?” I asked
“When you were born, you were extremely sick. None of the doctors could find a remedy for you. Your mother and I prayed to every god, staring with God, working our way through mythologies. Finally, one answered our prayers. A beautiful woman with black hair and nine heads appeared in our hospital room one night and placed her hand on your forehead. Your blonde hair turned black and you suddenly started to cry, proving your health. When we asked her who she was, she sinabi her name was Diosa Luna. We searched her name through every mythology, finally finding her under Spanish mythology. She was the goddess of the moon. Hence your name, Night” He explained. We walked down the alley to a door. When he tried to open it, it was locked.
“Allow me” I pulled a bobby pin from my pocket and looked at my Father.
“I need your credit card” I said.
“Excuse me?” he asked
“It’s an old trick I learned at the dojo” I said. He pulled out his wallet and handed me a credit card. I stuck it in the door right above where the lock would be. I shuffled them around, moving numerous gears. Finally, I heard a click. I pulled the card and clip out and turned the handle. The door opened with ease. I passed Green palaso his credit card and walked through the door. I was glad I went first, because there were fifteen armed guys. I threw fifteen shuriken and hit all the mga baril before Green palaso had even got fully through the door. I grabbed one of the guys sa pamamagitan ng his shirt.
“Where is Sonar?” I growled
“I-I don’t know who you’re talking about” he stammered. I drew my sai and brought them to his throat. I would get the answer I wanted. No matter what I had to do to get it. Even if it meant slicing this guys throat open and letting him bleed to death. Slowly and painfully.
