I can hear the low buzzing of whispers around me the moment that I step foot inside the police station. Isang may katandaan na lalaki ang lumapit sa amin at inilahad niya ang kamay sa direksyon ko. I know he's the top rank even before he speak just by the way he walked towards us.
"Police Colonel Johnson, Ma'am."
Bantulot na inabot ko ang kamay niya. Sandali lang iyon dahil iginaya niya na kami sa isa sa mga upuan na nandoon. May sinenyasan siya na lalaki na kaagad lumapit sa amin at akmang hahawakan niya ako pero kaagad kong nailayo ang katawan ko.
I felt Savannah's hands gently squeezed my shoulder but it was Damian who put himself between me and the police officer.
"Para lang po sa first aid mo," nalilitong sabi ng mas batang lalaki na mula sa akin ay kinakabahang lumipat ang tingin kay Damian.
Magkasing-tangkad lang si Pierce at Damian but aside from his stance and the commanding aura around him, there's no doubt that the people in here doesn't just know me. Sigurado ako na kilala rin nila si Damian.
I opened my mouth to let the police officer do what he needed to do pero bago ko pa magawa iyon ay pabalabag na bumukas ang pintuan ng stasyon.
I felt something squeezed my heart when I saw Pierce standing there. Sa isang iglap ay nawala ang anumang takot at pangamba na para bang ang presensiya niya lang ang kailangan ko. There's a shadow in his face and I could sense the anger inside of him but when our eyes met I saw how he struggled to reign it in.
Bago ko pa mapigilan ang sarili ko ay parang may sariling buhay ang mga paa na tinakbo ko ang distansiya sa pagitan namin. My body hit him hard but I didn't stumble back because he caught me in his arms.
The world feels like it's shaking and I can hear a small sound that my muddled brain can't comprehend. Lalong humigpit ang pagkakayakap sa akin ni Pierce. I can feel his warm breath on the side of my neck. Umangat ang isa niyang kamay at marahang hinaplos niya ang ulo ko. "Shh. It's okay, Kitty."
That's when I realized that my body is trembling again at the same time that the tears are freely falling from my eyes.
"I'm okay," I whispered to him. "I'll get a grip on myself. I just need a minute. Where's Arctic? Is he okay without you right now?"
"Don't be stupid." Muli niyang hinaplos ang buhok ko. "Arctic's fine. Naiwan siya kay Axel sa HQ."
Despite the tears, I chuckled at what he said. Give it to him to call a woman that is crying stupid. His tongue will never lose its sharpness but his actions are contradicting it. He's a paradox through and through.
