Psycho...or not? (SiP Season 2)

Zoe's POV

"What's on me in this?"

Lumingon ako sa kanya.

"What do you want?" Tanong ko.

Tumitig siya sa akin ng matagal bago sumagot.

"The Li Corp." Diretsyong sagot niya.

"Take it if you can." I scoff.

"I can't that's why I want you to give it to me." Mabilis na sagot niya.

"Anything but not that and the Zeus." Sabi ko.

"Tatanong tanong ka tapos di mo naman pala ibibigay gusto ko." Natatawang sagot niya.

"I need your help Max for the first and last time." Seryosong sabi ko.

Ibinaba niya ang hawak niyang wine bago lumingon ng seryoso sa akin.

"Can't you just forget about everything and live your life?" Mahinang tanong niya.

"I... I don't even have the life to live in. I...can't live. I can't." Yumuko ako.

I can't really find the words to answer his questions.

All I want now is to find Justine and be with him, again.

How could I live when I know he died? But more importantly how can I forget that I know he may be alive, somewhere.

"Can you just help me?!" Inis na tanong ko.

Halos maibuga niya ang alak na nasa bibig niya bago lumingon sa akin na nanlalaki ang mata.

"Gosh your temper! Oo tutulungan nga kita! Iniisip ko lang kung paano!" Balik na sigaw niya.

"Ganon ba? O sige tawagan mo ako agad pag may plano ka na ha?" Kinuha ko ang alak na natira niya at nilagok ito bago tumayo.

Lumabas ako ng lugar nila.

Madilim na dito at maraming tambay.

Max is like a retired spy, from the Interpol, CIA or whatever is that. He was a secret agent, retired.

I met him in one of our stockholders meeting. He said he was on his last mission that time and he ask for my help, he knows I am the new boss in the group and he crack a deal and I said yes. In exchange of him being my hidden source and me being his source too.

But for now, he is not working. Gusto niya daw magpahinga sa patayan at habulan.

Napahinto ako at tumingala sa langit.

Stars are shining above.

I want to cry, I want to shout. I want to get mad but I can't. I don't have the time to do that.

"Where should I find you Justine? Where are you right now?"

Magisa ako oo.

Dahil di ko alam kung mapagkakatiwalaan ko pa ba si Thea at ang iba.

I trusted her, I love her. I want to depend on her, but how can I? Ngayon na nalaman ko na niloko nila ako.

I'm mad I know but as I said, wala akong oras para magalit o kung ano man sa kanila.

I just want to find Justine, maybe then I can forgive her, forgive them.

But for now, I want to distance my self to them. I want to be alone... again.

Nagatuloy ako sa paglalakad hanggang sa marating ko ang sasakyan.

Nag ring ang phone ko kaya napalingon ako doon.
