Genius in Distress

Up in the Air --> C130 ride

Here's another chapter. Super rush update. Hehe!!! 

I'm making sure na hindi surreal ang mga nangyayari sa mga scenes. Na nangyayari talaga ito sa real life. 

Hope you enjoy.

“Miss Trinidad, are you ready?” Lt. Castellejos asked outside her door. Kanina pa ito naghihintay sa labas.

“In five,” she responded. What’s up with people in service, bakit ang bilis kumilos nang mga ito at always on the go? Aia pulled up her hair in a messy bun. Pagkatapos ayusin ang sarili ay lumabas na siya, sukbit sa balikat ang dalang maliit na bag. Lt. Castellejos was leaning on his door just across her room waiting for her.

Kinuha nito ang bag na dala niya. His brows furrowed as he gave her a once over, “You’re wearing your vest again?” he asked.

Aia nodded. She was back in her casual get up, that includes her bullet proof vest.

“Get change. Hindi komportable pag suot-suot mo ‘yan sa pupuntahan natin, and the place is safe and secured, don’t worry,” sabi nito. Mahina siya nitong tinulak pabalik nang silid niya, “Wear something comfie,” he added.

“Aye Aye, Sir.” Pumasok na siya sa silid niya at nagpalit nang damit. Comfie pala ha! Hinubad niya ang suot na hoodie at bullet proof vest. She grabbed a loose white shirt and a short short from her closet. Matapos mag palit at maglagay nang sunblock ay lumabas na siya.

Lt. Castellejos’ eyes narrowed when he saw her wearing tiny shorts, “Miss, Trinidad?”

May problema ba sa suot niya? “Yes?”

Lt. Castellejos pointed his finger at her bare legs, “That.”

Tumaas ang isang kilay niya, “What about it, Lieutenant?”

“I don’t like what you are wearing. It shows too much skin. Magpalit ka ulit.” He shoved her back to her room again.

“But why?

“Do you want to see men ogling at you?” he asked.

Umiling siya, “Of course not.”

“That settles then. Get change. And please, make it quick.”

Aia rolled her eyes, “Duh, what’s with men and short shorts? Hindi naman iyaon ang rason kung bakit ako naka short. Sabi mo nga wera something comfie diba?”

“Just follow what I say. It’s for your own good.”

“Whatever.” For the third time Aia changed her clothes. This time she wore jeans to match her shirt. Wala namang masama sa suot niya kanina. Sabi nito ‘wear something comfie’, tapos hindi naman pala pwede. Tsk. Nang lumabas siya ay tumango ito.

“That’s better.” Lt. Castellejos grabbed her hands. “Let’s go.”

Napahinto si Aia.

Nakunot-noo naman si Lt. Castellejos nang lingunin siya, “May nakalimutan ka?”

“None. I just wanna say goodbye to Alex and Markus,” she said. Napalapit na siya sa dalawa at naging mabuti ang mga ito sa kanya habang nasa kampo siya.
