It was beyond horror.
I was crying to death the moment I held Commandment tightly in my arms. Damon was there too and we both panicked.
" He still has a pulse! Let's save him," sambit ni Damon na dahilan para tumigil ako sa kaiiyak at gawin ang kailangan kong gawin.
Dripping wet, we rushed to the White Hall where Spongebob and Gusion were waiting for us. Devion and the others was there too.
" What happened?!" bungad na tanong ng mga members. Agad nilang sinalubong ang walang malay na si Commandment at ipinuwesto sa surgery bed na inihanda nila sa loob ng white hall.
" We found him lying on the streets. Gusion, pakihanda ng mga computers ko sa kwarto. I'll check what happened," tugon naman ni Damon.
"Magpalit muna kayo ng damit. We'll take care of it ," wika ni Gusion sa'ming dalawa.
I wanted to stay with him but Damon grabbed my wrist and took me upstairs.
" Commandment will strangle you if you'll get sick." sambit niya.
Pumasok ako sa kwarto at dumeretso sa shower. Commandment's blood is all over me. He lose a lot of blood. Will he be alright?
The sight of Commandment horrified me. Someone stab his heart pero wala namang iniwan na ebidensya sa crime scene. Maybe there is. Pero dahil sa lakas ng ulan at sa urgency ng sitwasyon, wala kaming pagkakataong hanapin pa yun.
I thought he died. It was the same feeling when I saw Sasuke on the stretcher that day.
I let the cold water calm me at agad na nagbihis pagkatapos. Lalabas na sana ako pero bumukas ang pinto at pumasok sina Gusion sa kwarto ko.
" Anong ginagawa nyo rito?" tanong ko sa kanila.
" The doctors need privacy. Ayaw din magpaistorbo ni Damon," tugon ni Spongebob.
Spongebob squatted on the floor. Gusion and I did the same.
We heaved a deep sigh in unison and stared at each other in silence. We all wear the same calm faces with complex emotions in our eyes.
" What happened today is unexpected. But this tragedy will not excuse us from playing the game," sambit ni Spongebob.
I'm exhausted already, too exhausted that I don't have the strength to complain.
" Firstly, we have to dig deeper on Jayrein's case. Bukas pa natin malalaman kung ano ang dapat nating gawin. We are given hints for the second code too. Commandment sent me the list of our missions. Nikka will play as a surgeon. I will be a public defender. Gusion, you will be a chef and Damon will be a bartender tomorrow. Commandment is supposed to make a deal as a businessman but since he can't make, I'll think of an alternative plan. We have to solve a total of 5 codes tomorrow."
Napatango na lang kami. Si Sasuke, si Zeus at si Commandment. We lose three officials already. We lose our Queen and that made us doubt our capabilities. May laban pa ba kami?
Bumukas ang pinto at pumasok si Damon.
" Commandment's contacts are off at nagmalfunction rin lahat ng CCTV sa crimescene kaya hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari," Damon dejectedly said. His words worry us even more.
" Who would possibly hold a grudge against Commandment?" - Spongebob.
" Marami. Alam mo naman ang ugali nun. Sa'tin lang yun may paki," tugon ni Gusion.
" It can be plotted by someone who aimed something big. Whatever that goal is, we'll investigate that for certain," sambit ni Damon na nag squat na rin.
