C. Series 1: The Dancing Bullet, Reaper Costanzo

07

Pikon na pikon akong nakaupo sa harap ng lamesa dito sa police station. Oo, putangina, nasa police station ako. Kung bakit naman kasi tatanga tanga yung police na nasa harap ko at ako ang hinuli. Tangina talaga.

"How many times do I have to tell you?! I don't know! I was just exploring the fucking club!" I shouted due to frustration.

Sinulyapan lang ako ng pulis at tinuloy ang pagbabasa niya sa file ko.

"Dio mio! Questo fottuto idiota!" Pinagmumura ko siya sa Italian at nakita ko kung paano siya natigilan. Yes, you jerk! Fuck you!

"I can't understand what you're saying, I guess that's a curse." Tinignan na niya ako.

"It is. You think I'm gonna praise you with your stupidity?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

Ang singkit niyang mata ay mas lalo lang lumiit dahil sinamaan niya ako ng tingin. Actually, he's handsome, he has this soft and yet hard features.

"Someone's calling from her phone, Sir." Another police man handed my phone to him.

Kinuha niya iyon at tinignan, with a situation like this, si Primo yun.

"Primo." Basa niya, he knows how to read English letters huh. Impressive.

"That's my brother."

Binigay niya sakin ang cellphone ko. "Put it on loud speaker."

I rolled my eyes and followed his instructions.

"Sì, Primo?" Dahil mapang-inis ako, sa Italian ko kakausapin si Primo para hindi maintindihan ng police.

"You're in a police station in Seoul?" He answered in Italian too.

"Sì. Some stupid police caught me saying I'm damn related with that shitty club."

"Why the hell were you in that club, in the first place?"

Natigilan ako. Damn, his question caught me off-guard.

"Can't I drink?"

"You drank last week, didn't you? You even escaped from my men."

Napakamot ako sa kilay. Leche, naalala ko pa tuloy yun. It's been a week since my conversation with GL. It was painful, but I know its the right thing to do. I shouldn't involve him in my messy situation right now.

"I'm sorry about that. Anyways, will I have a lawyer?"

"Why would I send one? You caused trouble and got caught, so why would I?"

Huminga ako ng malalim. Hindi ko sabi kasalanan yun! I was just drinking at that club. Ewan ko bang may bentahan pala ng droga sa tabing lamesa ko?! At hindi ko alam na kilala sa ilegal stuffs ang club na yun!

I sighed. Alam ko pala, I just didn't know that they would raid the club with the exact time I explored it.

"Primo...." I called him, begging.

"I told you to stay away from trouble. Why wouldn't you listen?"

Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiwi sa gigil ng boses niya. Mukhang badtrip talaga siya.

"I'm sorry...." Nagbaba ako ng tingin dahil badtrip din ako sa sarili ko. When will I stop causing trouble? And just focus with the mission? Masiyado akong naoccupy ni GL that it affected my mission and my mind.

"I already ask someone there to look after you. There's no time to send someone there. Once he get you out of that place, stay with him for a while and focus on your mission, Reaper."
