He smirked. "I'm jack of all trades honey, master of none." He winked and left me dumfounded."What did he just say?" My sister giggled."Shut up." I said and left her.I'm here at our house. Looking at my mother's coffin. I have nothing left but my siblings. I got them. I don't know how will this work. I'm slowly dying. And a hand touched my shoulder. It was him, again."My condolences again Desi." A pain to his eyes I see. I just nodded for my answer."I wanna know who did this to her." My voice cracked as he caressed my back."I wanna know it too darlin' just chill and we'll find out who that bastard is. I got you." He said and an urge in me got higher."Please help me Lorenz.""I will help you Desi. I got your back. You got me as who I am now." He hugged me."Lorenz thank you." I cried in his chest.

"Wait. I don't understand you two. What are you talking about? Who is that man? And what is the code thingy? What are you both exchanging? Please tell me. I want to help.""Floreandro Dela Carpio, my mother's grandfather who controls a gang. The Legion of The Concerete Jungle. A drug syndicate. No one hesitated to arrest them because they are too high to fight with. The government cannot do anything about them. So that they are still everywhere. Transacting drugs. Shipping it. The government is powerless when it comes to them." I explained."So it means they are powerful?" Lorenz asked."Yep.""Your father. Maybe he did this. Isn't he a part of the gang? Maybe he's involved in the crime.""He is a part. But he is not active. I don't know why.""We'll know who's behind this. I promise. I don't care how powerful they are.""You can't do that."

"Who's that?" Lorenz asked."He's my mother's grandfather. He's the owner of the so called gang Lorenz. Maybe he is the suspect." I looked at Catherine and I saw a confusing look in her eyes."Ate, how can it be? Daddy Lolo knows the code. It can't be.""Lolo knows the code? How? Mommy, You, and I only knows the code. How can it be? Don't tell me you gave him the code?""I didn't. Maybe he knows what the code is? Because he's the owner. How come?""Wait. I don't understand you two. What are you talking about? Who is that man? And what is the code thingy? What are you both exchanging? Please tell me. I want to help."

"She's awake." Lorenz murmured."Ate.." she said and I ran towards her."How are you feeling?" I asked."I'm fine, where's mommy?" she asked with a teary eye."She's already dead." she bursted in tears."I didn't even protected her. I was scared by those boys." she stated and I looked at Lorenz."Who are they?" Lorenz furiously asked."They were all in black. But there is a familiar voice which i have heard seconds before I lost my consciousness. The familiar voice said that if she won't give the code, they will kill me." she cried."What code?""The code of the gang. I don't know what that is but he said Code of the gang.""Floreandro Dela Carpio.." I whispered

"L-lorenz, why are you here?" I asked with a confusion on my face."I saw you rushing to get here so I followed you." he answered."My condolences Desi." he added."Thank you." I said and looked back at my mother. "Who did this to her?""Multiple stabs in her chest. No evidence saw. Your sister, unconscious and now laying on a bed. Who did it. Jump into your conclusion. It might be that person.""But I don't know. The only one I know is my f-father." I said and he smiled."Maybe.""What? What do you mean?""Maybe he did this to your mother. Why? because he is not here. Team up with me. We'll know who did this." he said and as I know I am now infront of my sister.
