LAURENT'S POV
Inilapag ko ang brief case sa harapan ng taong kaharap ko ngayon. Doon niya nakita ang laman nito. Sandamak-mak na pera na mula kay Julian.
"This money came from him directly?" tanong niya.
"Pwede pa akong manghingi kung kulang pa 'yan."
"No need, I'll take this as a proof."
Isinara niya ang brief case at ibinigay sa naka itim na damit. It looks like his bodyguard. I couldn't believe I'm meeting a familiar man at this moment.
"And as for your punishment. Nakapag isip-isip ka na ba?" he asked.
Nagbaba lang ako ng tingin. I knew he was talking about the consequence of what I've done. Especially kay Jaz at sa kapatid niya.
"You're so f*cked up, Smith." he said.
"I know. I'm ready to face the consequences of this bullshit."
"You better be. Hindi mo alam kung anong klaseng krimen ang ginawa niyo ni Julian. Lahat ng ito ay pwedeng makaabot hanggang sa kapulisan..don't you know that?"
"I knew all along. I'm not dumb."
"You're not dumb, but maybe you're not scared."
Matalim ko siyang tiningnan. Ang taong ito ay mas may alam kaysa sa lahat ng tao rito. Hindi ko siya kilala pero alam kong kilala siya ni Jared. Hindi rin naglalayo dahil kilala niya si Julian.
Ako nalang ba talaga ang walang alam sa mga nakapaligid ko? Or I wasn't even paying enough attention to this people who get involve in this cases? Hindi ko rin alam na may nagmamanman na pala saakin. At isa itong taong 'to.
"What are your plans to those money I gave you?" tanong ko.
"I won't spend it, I will give it to my previous lawyer."
I creased my forehead. "Yun lang? What about the case?"
"Smith, I know what I'm doing."
"How did you know me? Does Jared told you about my identity?" takang tanong ko.
"No. Hindi kami bati and I don't want to talk to him about this. Keeping a secret is my specialty." nakangiting sambit niya.
Pinaningkitan ko siya ng mata. Wala akong ideya kung saan niya nakuha ang information tungkol saakin pero wala akong choice kundi ang ibigay sakanya ang tiwala ko. He even told me a little bit of information about Julian's inherit and property. Kapag nagawa ko ang pinapagawa niya ay mas mabilis nalang niyang mapapabagsak si Julian.
That's what I want. That's what everyone wanted. Ang bumagsak si Julian.
"I don't want Jaz to hate me for what I've done." naibulong ko.
"Who's Jaz?"
Nawala iyun kaagad sa isip ko.
"Nothing. You don't need to----"
"Oh, that girl, Jaz? I knew her."
Shit!
"H-how did you...."
