.....Garth's POV...."Hello! I have to fly to Batanes, I've got a lead from there. I need a chopper, now!" I commanded Fred straightforwardly right after he answered my call.
"Boss...buti naman at naisipan mong tumawag. It's been two days na hindi ka namin ma-contact. Teka, nasaan ka ba ngayon? I had been to Ilocos kasi sabi nung spy natin namataan ka raw doon kaya agad akong nagpunta dun trying to back you up pero pandating ko sa isla wala na akong naabutang tao kundi wasak na hide out. Tapos ang sabi ng detective natin sa Isabela doon ka raw nila natrace kaya sinundan kita doon, pero pagdating ko sa hide out ng mga kalaban it's nothing but a total mess at wala ka na rin doon. Kababalik ko palang dito sa manila nagun para i-trace ka ulit, nasaang lupalop ng Pilipinas ka nanaman ba ngayun?" Derederetsong wika ni Fred sa kabilang linya sa nag-aalalang tinig na tila hindi manlang huminga.
"Well-' I have already told you, susuyurin ko ang buong Pilipinas, how can I do it kung iisang lugar lang ang mapuntahan ko sa isang araw. My wife needs me, I have to rescue her as soon as possible." I uttered firmly.
"Hay anu pa nga ba, I know you would say that. Ang akin lang naman, sana isipin mo na may bestfriend ka dito na subrang nag-aalala sayo."
"I know. Sorry for making you worry Fred but you know my situation right. Para na nga akong mababaliw sa tuwing naiisip ko ang asawa ko at kung anu na ba ang nangyayari sa kanya."
"Umm, Garth, I'm sure she's fine. Mahahanap mo din siya." Buntong hininga naman niyang pagko-comfort sa akin.
"Nga pala nandito na ako sa rooftop ng guild's building. I am now heading to the chopper. Tell me your location." Dugtong niyang saad.
"Palawan." I just answered and ended up the call.
"Copy that' Boss!"
*Narrator's POV*
"Ang tatanga niyo naman! Mga b*bo! How come na hanggang ngayon hindi niyo parin matagpuan si Astrid?!" Sigaw ni Magnus sa kanyang mga tauhan and even slapped one of them.
"S-sorry po Boss, pero b-baka wala na po siya dito sa isla--"
"At anong ibig mong sabihin hah? Nakaalis na siya? Paano? Lumangoy ganun? B*BO! Edi nalunod nayun kung ganun! Kelan pa nagkaroon ng bangka sa dalampasigan dito bukod sa speed boat na nasa atin?"
"S-sorry po Boss, m-maghahanap nalang po kami ulit-"
"Yes! As you should! At huwag kayong tatanga-tanga! Lumayas kayo sa harap ko ngayun din! Pinapainit niyo lalo ang dugo ko!" Galit pang singhal ni Magnus bago pabagsak na umupo sa sofa tilting a glass of wine on his hand wrath-faced.
"Nasaan kana Astrid? Sige...galingan mo lang ang pagtatago dahil kapag natagpuan kita, hindi kana makakawala pa. Tandaan mo, ako ang nagpakahirap na sundan ka noon oras oras, araw araw, buwan buwan, at taon taon para lang mag-katiyempo na makuha ka mula sa asawa mo tapos tatakasan mo lang ako? Nakakaisang gabi palang ako sayo-- hindi pa ako tapos!" Bulong niya sa kanyang sarili bago binasa ang kanyang labi with his tongue at uminom muli ng wine.
Meanwhile.......
"Yes...do you have an update now?" Bungad na tanong ni Stanley sa tauhan niya na galing sa kabilang isla para hanapin si Astrid.
"Negative Boss. Pero huwag kayong mag-alala, patuloy naman po ang paghahanap ng mga tao natin doon." Sagot nito sa kanya.
"Okay good. For the mean time, halughugin niyong muli itong buong isla from bottom up. Kailangan maunahan ko si Magnus. " wika pa niya while leaning towards the balustrade in front of him.
"Bakit Boss eh nakukuha niyo parin naman si Ma'am Astrid ah, kahit na si Boss Magnus ang makahanap sa kanya."
"Well-dati yun! Natututo na siyang lumaban ngayun at ayukong makipag-away sa kanya hanggat maaari dahil nagpapagood-shot ako kay Supremo. I'll make sure that he will pick me to replace him at the end of his assessment sa aming mga commanders ng MLD (Mafia Lion's Den)." Tugon niya sa tauhan niya while still leaning along the railing of the second floor terrace overlooking Magnus sitting in the living room area.
"Copy Boss...aasahan namin yan." Sagot naman nung tauhan niya at umalis na kasama ang iba pa nilang tauhan para halughugin ang isla.
*Astrid's POV*
It's already been three days since I stepped in this rest house, the so-called Mafia Lion's Den phase 2. The other resthouse which Magnus and Stanley occupied is the phase 1. It's bigger and wider because it's the main Den second to their Supremo's residence.
I was busy thinking about my husband when somebody entered the room, as usual, it's Drake. Sino pa ba, siya lang naman ang pweding pumasok dito because according to him, baka daw maakit sa akin ang mga tauhan niya kapag pinayagan niya silang pumasok dito at angkinin ako which he doesn't want since he branded me as his's. He's a total lunatic horny na wala nang ibang ginawa araw araw kundi ang magparaos ng kanyang kakatian sa katawan.
"Hey...darling- you missed me?" Bungad niyang wika sa akin with his lips wide open smiling.
"G*go!" bulong ko naman sa sarili ko trying to smile at him fakely*. I am trying to lure him using my beauty hanggang sa mabaliw siya sa akin, by that time I'll be able to make a way to escape from him, from this hell!
Lumapit siya sa akin grabbing me from the back of my head with his one hand and pulled me over towards his face then kissed me intimately. I didn't responded thu, sumusubra na siya, feeling niya yata we're really in good terms. Hell no! I loathed him to death!
"It's been a whole day without seeing you. I've missed you already." Says he holding a grip of my hair and kissed me again demandingly.
Hindi parin ako gumanti sa ginawa niyang iyun and gladly he stoped.
"Come, join me for dinner." he commanded. Since I was quite hungry as well, I started walking next to him and for the first time, nakalabas ako sa lungga ko because he brought me to the resthouse's kitchen.
"Few hours had past and I am now inside this room again, my cell. I was walking back in forth trying to think of a plan when my eyes found something on the floor. It's a wallet, Drake's wallet. Maybe it fell from his coat while kissing me. Out of curiosity, I opened it to have a glimpse of what's inside and I was shocked upon seeing one photo that was inserted behind one of his ATM cards in there.
