We flew back to Italy after our mission in Madrid. Luckily, no one noticed us until we went outside the royal palace. Doon lang namin narinig ang biglaang pagtunog ng sirens at alarms, senyales na may emergency sa loob.
Nakasakay na kami ngayon sa private airplane ni Loki. Hindi siya umiimik simula nung umalis kami ng Spain. Hindi ko naman siya pinipilit kasi alam kong nahirapan siya sa ginawa niya.
Panay sunod lang siya sa'kin kahit saan ako pumunta. Sabi niya ayaw niyang humiwalay sa'kin dahil ako 'yong pinagkukunan niya ng lakas. I didn't believe it, though, but I still stuck around even when we were packing his things inside his suite.
Nakaupo kami ngayon dito sa loob ng eroplano. Loki's head rested on my shoulders while his arm was linked with mine. Mahimbing siyang natutulog ngayon pero ang higpit pa rin ng pagkakahawak niya sa kamay ko.
It was as if he's scared I might leave. Pinisil ko ang kamay niya bago marahan na gumuhit ng munting bilog doon gamit ang hinlalaki ko.
Simula noong nakasakay kami, agad siyang natulog. No conversations were opened. Pansamantala kong kinalimutan ang issue namin para maging nandiyan para sa kaniya.
He has that faraway look as if he's not living in the present. I can only hope that he's not reminiscing the scene at the palace. That shit drives people insane.
Maliban kay Loki, tulala rin ri Pierre at Leo. Nakaupo sila ngayon sa pahaba na long couch sa tabi ng hallway samantalang nasa dulo kami nun. We were sitting on a two-passenger seat chair at nasa dulo ng hallway ang isang TV.
Tinuon namin ang atensyon sa harapan nang magsimulang mag-broadcast ang breaking news.
Dahil nasa Spain pa kami, dinig na dinig pa rin namin ang balita na may pumaslang sa prinsipe.
I just hope Loki won't wake up now. The three of us focused at the TV until the segment ended. Pagkatapos nun, pinatay na ni Pierre ang TV bago bumaling sa'min.
"What now?" Pierre asked but it was more like a whisper.
Walang may nagsalita sa'min ni Leo. After we have the contracts, we'll send a copy of them to Don Orsini once we get back to Italy.
Ngunit pagkatapos nun... hindi ko na alam.
I think we'll resume to hiding as the world's most wanted fugitives even though no one figured us out yet.
Sabi ni Leo kanina na-asikaso na raw ng team niya ang biometrics namin. Wala na kaming record sa royal palace pero paano 'yong mga tao na nakahalubilo namin? They might say we were there but our identities couldn't be found anywhere. Wouldn't that seem suspicious?
Bahagyang gumalaw si Loki kaya sinenyasan ko ang dalawa na tumahimik. As much as possible, I don't want to open that story ever again, especially to him.
He lazily sat back on his chair. His eyes were drowsy and his hair was a bit messy.
Nang nilingon niya ako, ginawaran ko siya ng maikling ngiti. He gently smiled at me back before turning serious.
Tumingala siya sa ceiling ng eroplano bago napabuntong-hininga. No one dared to speak. The silence stretched as we waited for Loki's first word.
"Where are we?" tanong niya. Medyo paos pa ang boses niya dahil kakagising niya lang.
"Almost out of Spain's border," sagot ni Pierre.
Loki managed a nod before squeezing his eyes shut. Agad akong umayos ng upo bago siya hinarapan.
"Are you okay? May masakit ba sa'yo?"
He shook his head before I saw a tear escape from his eyes even though they were still closed.
