Chapter 2

Mission

(Trigger warning)Abuse.

They brought me in the basement where people was so busy with the same works. Computer. I've been here for five days and I can't stop thinking who brought me out in this hospital.

I'm in big trouble, paano kapag ako pala ang gusto nilang patayin? Paano kapag ako naman ang hindi makakabangon?

Some of them was facing their computers and was starting to tell ‘targets’. Target? Really?

“What's wrong with that head of yours?" Jigs asked me. The boy who talked to me when I was laying on the hospital bed was him. He's older than me.

Anemic nga lang.

Bumukas ang pinto, may pumasok na matandang babae. Mahaba ang buhok. She's so... warm and worthy to praise for.

“Good evening,” palaging may diin ang sinasabi niya kaya yumuyuko ang mga tao pag nagsasalita siya. “Everyone, sit down," Suminyas siya ng tubig at kumuha naman si Collin. “What's the meeting all about Vic? Don't you know that I'm—”

Dumaan ang tingin niya sa'kin kaya napaiwas ako ng tingin. Her eyes were bloodshot, punong puno ng emosyon na hindi ko kailanman mababasa.

“Oh? Ito ba yong babaeng na rape?” Harsh words came rushing out in her mouth as she pointed at me. I heard Vic stopped her from talking.

Pero hindi siya nagpatinag at ningisihan pa ako. “Madilim ang nakaraan mo babae. Kaya't kailangan mong galingan at bumawi,” tumawa siya bago tuluyang lumabas kasama ang ibang mga tao.

“S-sino ‘yon?” Parang naiiyak na usal ko. Inalalayan naman ako ni Jigs at binigyan ng panyo.

“Chief ‘yon dito.”

Tumawa si Vic ng malakas, “Buti hindi niya sinabi ang Iconic line niya na “You don't know me? I'm your chief!” Nakakabanas kaya mapakinggan ‘yon,” tumawa ulit silang dalawa ni Jigs.

Pinakilala nila ako pagkatapos namin mag-usap. Binigyan na din nila ako ng cellphone para sa gagawin ko sa lunes. I'm going to school, yet... I'm not going to school seriously. Parang ginagamit nila ako para mapatay yung lalaking target nila.

“Sino nga ulit yung target Jigs?” I whispered into him.

He chuckled, “‘Wag kanang bumulong naririnig naman nila tayo eh, may nakakabit na mic sa iba't ibang parte ng lugar na ‘to.”

I chuckled nervously kaya nilakasan ko na ang boses ko, “Sino yung target?”

Lumingon silang lahat sa'kin at seryoso lang sila. May babaeng kakarating lang at ang angas kung pumorma. “Valerie!”

Lumingon yung babae kay Jigs at ganon nalang ang pag-awang ng labi ko ng hindi niya pinansin ito. Ganon ba siya?

“Wag kang mag alala, ganon talaga yon.” Tapik niya sa braso ko at sumunod naman ako sa kaniya sa kwarto.

A door was open and we went inside it just to see boys and girls laughing. “Ano kaba Collin! Mahiya ka nga! Ang baho ng hininga mo!”

Tumawa naman yung isa, “Heh! Sobra na kayo ah! Baka hindi ko kayo tulungan mga hampas lupa!” sigaw niya at ngumuso.

Napatigil naman sila noong pumasok kami ni Jigs kaya nagtago ako sa likod niya. “Marissa yung damit ko.”

Bumulong ulit ako, “A-ano... natatakot ako...”

He sighed. “Looks like it's the new girl beybe!” Sigaw nong Collin na inaasar nila kanina.

“Uy, magseryoso kayo. Siya kaya yung magha-handle sa anak ng mafia sa Pilipinas. I'm not sure yet, but that's what the system said...” taas ng kamay ni... I don't know his name.

“Ahh, kaya pala. Nice to meet you girl!” Sigaw noong babaeng nakablack ng palda.

Hindi ako bumati pabalik kaya nag-asaran uli sila. Jigs suddenly whistled enough for them to shut their mouth. Bakit ako pa ang dapat nilang gamitin?

“Hey isn't it too fast? Lunes na siya magsisimula oh. Ayaw nyo ba munang subukan siya?” tanong ng lalaki at ngumiwi.

“Tangina neto, anong subukan? Gusto mo siya paputukan?” tanong nung Collin at tumawa.

“Anong klaseng putok ba?” ngisi naman ng naka blue na t-shirt.

“Tama na, let's discuss kung anong dapat niyang gawin.” Jigs thankfully did his words. Nakakatuwa na may kakilala ako.

“I have the plan,” that Valerie said. While looking at her Ipad, she stated many words without taking her eyes off me. Ang cold niya. “She'll train for two days then rest after, she should study the background of the Washington's and gain power,” she stated while coldly looking at me. Namememorize ba niya yan? Or sadyang bobo ako ngayon?

“Tell her the details or send her the email of the mission,” Jigs went out from the room then there were silence. May bumasag sa katahimikan na 'yon at baril yon.

Hindi ako nagulat ngunit gusto ko ding humawak non, gusto ko putukan ang taong nagpaputok. “Jaice!” They shouted.

Tumawa lamang ito at tinignan ang baril na may usok pa. “S-sino ba dapat kong patayin?”

Mahaba ang katahimikan ngunit may yumuko ulit. “Death Hale Washington. Ang pinakamaginaw na studyante sa school na pupuntahan mo.”

Death? A-ano? Papatayin naba ako?

One thing I know is I am... f-cking dead.
