Down To The Rabbithole

Deviola is seating across to Venice who is busy lighting her cigarette, kabado ito ngayon dahil first time niya makakausap ito bilang Deviola. The picture she had gathered were all right, that's what he really look like. She is not disappointed at all because, she expect much less than this. Nakakunot ang noo ni Deviola habang hinihintay ang pag-salita niya, hinatid lang niya si Clarabelle sa sasakyan nito at muli siya bumalik sa loob para kausapin si Venice. Tinignan siya ni Venice sa mga mata nang matapos masindihan ang sigarilyo, binuga nito ang uso at tyaka binuka ang kanyang bibig para magsalita.

"What do you want to talk about Deviola?" Venice ask while looking at him, he had a charming feature no one will thought that the Deviola of their world will be this charming.

"Do you have any idea where I can find Gregorio?" Tanong ni Deviola dahilan para manlaki ang mata ni Venice, muntikan din ito masamid dahil iinumin sana nito ang wine sa baso niya pero natigilan siya nang marinig ang kanyang katanungan.

"Gregorio? Why you are looking for him?" She knows how much Deviola hate when someone answer his question with another question, but she didn't see that on his expression all she can see is his desperation to know the answer.

"It's none of your business, now answer me. I know you have search for him as well, and I'm pretty sure your croonies had already track him down" Deviola is using his usual voice right now, he is desperate he need Gregorio's gift to know if Franchesca had underlying conditions. She fell into a coma after they came back from Switzerland.

Venice is still looking at him, it's unusual for Deviola to be concern with a Monterlertnaigo especially, time controllers. She wanted to know what is his real intention with the twins, she is hungry for the answers to her questions and she is pretty sure Deviola will be honest with her. Bubuka pa lang ang kanyang bibig pero nagulat siya nang yumuko ito sakanyang harapan, at nagmamakaawa ito sabihin ang kanyang nalalaman patungkol sa kinaroroonan ni Gregorio.

"Please Venice, I need to know where Gregorio is. Franchesca is in a deep coma; I have no idea what is happening with her time travel won't be the answer, because she is with her twin sister the whole time. I'm pretty sure you knew about this information; that's why, you were looking for Francesca before so that this incident would be avoided." Venice is shocked to see Deviola being desperate, did he discover that she won't harm the twins but she is simply protecting them from the danger?.

Venice created the Sanguis University along with her brother in order to protect the Monterlertnaigo from their world, that school will simply protect them to get exploited by their corrupted government. She help Vladimir to help the Monterlertnaigo's escape their own death in the hands of Gregory, Deviola is on their side when the battle happened but it seems that he only join his force to get what he wanted. He simply want to take Clarabelle back, he simply want to free his children from their world, and he wanted to give them a normal life they deserve.

"He is currently residing in Houston, Texas. He owns a company, you are well known businessman in the world. I'm pretty sure Gregorio won't be having a doubt to meet you as Mr. Helix." Venice still looking at Deviola who is still bowing his head, he raise his head after hearing the information and look at her with a smile on his face. That's the most genuine smile she saw for past few days, all the people she met were all assholes.

Deviola hug Venice which surprise her for a moment but she somewhat find the hug familiar, did she missed something?. The hug only lasted a minute, but it's enough for her to feel better. He said his farewell and she simply nodded her head at him, she watch him leave the terrace. Venice wonders if she saw Deviola before way back when she is still a kid, she just shook her head and still can't believe that all those times she believe that Deviola is an enemy just like the ministry but it seems that the whole time he is on their side.
