CHAPTER 20

TIME

Eitan grunted when a knife of one of the guards scraped him hard. Umatras siya agad at pilit na hindi ininda ang sakit mula sa pagkakasugat. Nagpalitan sila ng tingin ni Ches nang hindi nila maagaw ang mga baril ng mga lalaki.

Ginawa rin nilang advantage ang hindi paglayo para hindi magkaroon ng tsansa na makabaril ang mga ito. 

"Ei!" Viktor called out from the upper deck.

Eitan glanced at the upper deck and saw Viktor moving carefully. Eitan glided to the side and kicked the guard to his abdomen that sent him to the wall.

"Damn boy, seems like I'm fighting a humanized cocaine!" Ches complained.

Eitan looked at him. "Now, Ches!"

Ches chuckled. "Yeah yeah!"

There's a squared terrace between them that is connected to the upper and the ground floor. Since the villa is all wood interiors and furniture, it is easy to grab on something. The vacant in between terrace with a chandelier on top of it became Ches and Eitan's subject for their escaped.

Viktor nodded at Eitan from the top floor where the chandelier is dangling.

Eitan tempted the fallen guard to come after him again as he stepped on the wooden railings and jumped towards the chandelier. Dahil doon ay sumunod din ang lalaki sa kaniya dahilan para hablutin ang hita ni Eitan para kumapit at hindi mahulog.

Ngunit bago pa man mahawakan ng lalaki ang hita ni Eitan ay itinaas na ito ni Eitan dahilan para mapahawak ang lalaki sa chandelier at bumagsak kasama nito habang si Eitan ay nakakapit sa braso ni Viktor sa taas.

"Ready?" Viktor asked.

Eitan nodded as he pushed himself from the edge and started swinging using Viktor's arm with the help of him. Nang makakuha ng tamang lakas ay tumalon na siya papunta sa kabilang parte ng floor at sinipa palayo kay Ches ang isa pang guwardiya.

Bumagsak din si Eitan dahil doon sa sahig kaya tinulungan siya ni Ches makatayo.

Nang makatayo ay nilapitan agad nila ang guwardiya na pinatumba at nawalan na ng malay habang ang dugo ay umaagos sa mga butas ng katawan. Eitan sighed as he pulled a curtain and used it to cover the guard's body.

"I feel bad for them." Ches commented.

Eitan nodded. "We don't need to fight them. Let's all make them sleep so they won't suffer for a longer time."

"Yeah, that way we won't waste too much energy." Viktor said as he arrived at the same floor as them.

"That's genius. Didn't know you could think, heh." Ches teased him.

Viktor smiled sarcastically. "Want a hit?"

Tumayo na si Eitan at nilingon si Viktor. "Let's meet with Kozma first while we wait for Stan and Phillie."

They finally resumed to move and started sneaking around. Nang makalusot sa pinaka dulong fire exit ay agad silang pumwesto sa bawat gilid at nagbantay habang si Eitan ay tinitingnan ang map ng buong villa.

"Apparently, there's a two villa connected to one another." Eitan said as he grabbed a paper and a pencil as he leaned on the wall to draw a little bit of the map. Lahat ay lumapit sa kaniya. "We're at the farthest villa and let's assume that the heir and Faiz is at the front villa."

"Is it possible that Rabanni is behind this? Were we followed?" Viktor asked in a low voice.

Ches nodded. "Possible. But how did they managed to sneak in with the royal guards? I don't see any royal guards around."
